Al Rayyan player Thiago Silva stressed that the players are ready to face Al Duhail, stating during the press conference: “We worked all last week to prepare in the best possible way for the Al Duhail match, especially after the loss to Al Shamal. We will try to change our approach and enter the game with full seriousness. There is no choice for us but to win. We know that Al Duhail is a strong team, but we will go into the match with complete focus.”
He continued: “Al Duhail is very close to us in the standings—the points difference is very small. They have a strong attack and a solid defense, and the match will be tough between the two teams. But the most important thing for us is to secure the three points.”
