Leonardo Jardim, the team’s coach, congratulated Abdulaziz Hatem, Bassam Al-Rawi, and all the Qatar national team players for winning the Asian Cup. During the press conference held on the sidelines of the Al Rayyan and Al Shamal match in round 14 of the QNB Stars League, he said: “We will return to the league after a two-month break, which is a long time. The first match will be against Al Shamal, which is a difficult match. It is very important to win the three points to return to the top of the standings. In the first round, we faced some difficulties and setbacks, but from the Al Shamal match that we will play on our home ground, we will start winning, and there will be a series of victories, especially with the return of the players.”
