Vicente Moreno, head coach of Al Rayyan, emphasized the necessity of achieving victory in the upcoming match against Al Ahli, which will be held as part of Round 4 of the Doha Bank Stars League. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, he said: “The most important thing is to win the next match against Al Ahli if possible. We know it will be a extremely tough game because Al Ahli is a very good team with an excellent Spanish coach whom I know well, along with great players. However, we are ready, and as I always say, I have full confidence in my players and I am certain we will put on a very good performance tomorrow.”
He added: “Before the league break, we have this match against Al Ahli first, followed by our fixture in the AFC Champions League Two. It will be crucial for us to win these matches before the break, because we know that going into an international break after winning your final matches is a great feeling for us and the fans, and everyone stays happy. That is why we want to win these upcoming games.”
Moreno also extended an invitation to Al Rayyan fans to support the team during the Al Ahli clash, stating: “We need our fans; their support is extremely vital for us. If we want to win titles again this season, we must play these matches hand in hand with our supporters.”
