Vicente Moreno, the coach of Al-Rayyan, confirmed the team’s readiness to face Kuwait’s Al-Qadsia in the Gulf Champions League. During the pre-match press conference, he said:
“The QSL Cup has become part of the past. Our focus now is entirely on the match against Al-Qadsia in the Gulf Championship. We have another opportunity to win a second title after winning the QSL Cup, which is a new title for us, for the fans, and for the club.”
He added: “The players are highly focused. They completely forgot about the effects of the victory just five minutes after the trophy celebration. The focus is now on the Gulf Championship. Over the past few days, we have worked on recovering and preparing the players. We know the match will be difficult because the opponent has the same desire to win and reach the final.”
The Spanish coach expressed his wish to beat Al-Qadsia and qualify for the final of the competition. He stated that the team will play at home in front of their fans, which is an important opportunity for the squad.
Regarding the absences in Al-Qadsia’s team, he pointed out that he only thinks about his own team. The squad has many important matches during this month, and the team’s mentality is to focus only on the next match.
