QNB Stars League: Al Duhail, Al Wakrah Coaches Seek Victory on Saturday

Doha, January 22 (QNA) - Al Duhail and Al Wakrah coaches underscored importance of achieving the three points in their Week 16 match of the 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League on Saturday. Al Duhail coach Luis Castro said, "A very difficult match awaits us against Al Wakrah and we are going through not good moments. Of course, this was not one of our goals in the championship. Our goal was to compete for the championship and appear in a different way. Al Wakrah are a very special team and show their strength as they are in third place in the standings. "I am not looking for excuses, the team makes big mistakes and they cause us to lose points, not only in the previous match, but in many matches. "We know that Al Wakrah are one of the best teams in the league and have outstanding players and they have a striking attack, and we must be very careful about this attack," said Castro. Al Wakrah coach Marquez Lopez said, "The preparations for this match did not differ much from those for the previous matches due to a lack of time. There is not much time to prepare for the match and we seek to raise the concentration level of the players for this game. "Everyone is talking about Al Wakrahs ability to repeat the victory over Al Duhail from the first leg and I assure that we can win, but not as easily as some expect. But our mentality is now positive and anything is possible. "Compared to last season, there are a lot of changes in the players, the coach is there, but the important thing is the players. This time, there are better players than last season, especially the Qatari players in the current season. Good work from the club's management to attract better players was the key. The coach does not have the keys to victories, but the players do," said Marquez. (QNA)
