Doha, September 20 (QNA) - Al Arabi will face Al Sailiya on Tuesday in Week 3 match of the 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League. In the pre-match press conference Al Arabi coach Younes Ali spoke to the media said, "We are ready, yes. the team has prepared well, we have put behind the disappointment of our loss against Al Duhail, we are determined to appear with better co-ordination against Al Sailiya, we seek a better result, we look forward to a win. "We suffered in the Al Duhail match as a result of many absences in the first XI and because we had to change some players from their positions, in addition, the playing harmony was also missing from our play and tactics, these are important elements to play better football, we aspire to have better harmony and team spirit among players during the upcoming matches, "There are some absences like Ahmed Suhail, whom we hope can return quickly to the team, he showed good recovery within a short period, but his absence in the Al Sailiya match is a loss for us, we hope het gets well soon," said Younes. Meanwhile, Al Sailiya coach Sami Trabelsi said, "Facing Al Arabi will be difficult, especially after the development of their level from last season. They are playing in a different way and their great fan support gives them motivation, but our chances seem equal. This match is very important in our journey in the league. If we want to be at the top of the league standings, we need to get a positive result. "The matches between Al Sailiya and Al Arabi always have a special character. The results cannot be predicted and there is some excitement in the games. There is respect between both clubs and I hope that the match will be played at high technical and enthusiastic levels. "The psychological aspect of Al Sailiya players is always very important and we must learn from the lessons that we had. Psychological factor has a great impact on our matches and everyone witnessed this after we appeared with two different faces in the previous two matches. Our reaction comes late and we must have the offensive initiative from the first minute and focus throughout the match. "The next match may feature our Tunisian player Nassim Hnid after his return from injury, in addition to the possibility of goalkeeper Claude Amine playing, but we prefer to let the players recover well from injuries to ensure their safety and full readiness before they take the field," said Trabelsi.
