Al Rayyan player Diogo Amaro emphasized the players’ readiness to face Qatar SC, saying: “This break was good to make a reset in our mind and in our body. Now we are ready for what’s next; we have a lot of games until December. I think we have a full squad ready to play all the games. We are all professionals, we prepare our bodies, we recover well, and now we are ready to play.”
Regarding the presence of several players who speak Portuguese, he noted: “Of course, having a lot of players speaking Portuguese or Spanish is very good for us. Even for the integration of new players—me, for example, and Otávio who came this season too—it was very good because in training we always have a lot of fun, we speak a lot, and that’s good for the environment of the team. Even the Qatari players now try to speak Portuguese!”
