He noted that for Al Sadd to win, they have to be positive and consistent. Meanwhile Rodrigo Tabata said that "this final is a good chance for our young players in particular.

This game is a good chance not only for our young players, but also for seniors like me to stay motivated for all games," he added. (QNA)
