Al Rayyan coach, Portuguese Artur Jorge, stressed that the Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah match in the 16th round of the Ooredoo Stars League is very important for the team, as they need to win. During the press conference held on the sidelines of this match, he said: The Al Wakrah match is a very important match, especially after returning to the league and the historic qualification of Al Rayyan Club in the AFC Champions League Elite. The difference between Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah is one point, so it is considered a direct confrontation between the two teams, in which we need to win the three points and continue the team’s development.
He added: If we aspire to first place, we have to play every match like a final to win the match. The Al Wakra team is a team that plays well collectively, moves a lot in the midfield, and has the strength to regain the ball, so we will enter this match with full focus and readiness.
