“Al Rayyan coach Artur Jorge stressed the importance of the Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa match in the 14th round of the Ooredoo Stars League. During the press conference held on the sidelines of this match, he said: ‘The Al Gharafa match is a very important match, and it will be a strong competition. We will play to win the match. We will face a team with high capabilities that has been working for years with coach Pedro, and I expect it to be a big match against a big team.’
He added: ‘We will try to play tomorrow like the last match by providing a strong performance, as the team’s fitness was high and the pace of the match was high. We did not achieve the result we wanted against Al Duhail, but the performance was great. We will look in the next match to play with the same performance, but the most important thing is the result. We will try to get the three points and advance in the league table.’
He continued: ‘We will work on changing the players’ mentality to be a winning mentality. We tried during the winter transfer window to add some changes to raise the level of the team, but the most important thing is to change the players’ mentality to a winning mentality and enter any match to achieve victory.'”
