QSL: Coaches of Al-Duhail and Al-Khor Looking for Points in Tomorrow's Clash

Doha, April 06 (QNA) - Al-Duhail coach Sabri Lamouchi spoke to the media ahead of their 2020-21 season QNB Stars League Week 21 match against Al-Khor. "The coming two matches that we will play, we need proper focus. We have to deal with teams cautiously as we are playing for points. We are entering a phase where we will play two consecutive matches. We must deal with it appropriately," he said. "Our players will play to avoid fatigue and injuries since we are faced with the pressure of playing many matches. In principle, we will play these matches to win them because they will be the best preparation for the AFC Champions League matches. By achieving victories in this match regardless of the squad that will play these matches, we have to be careful so that the players are in the best condition for the remainder of the season," he stressed. "We have rested a number of players such as Karim Boudiaf, Mohammed Muntari, Almoez Ali and Bassam Al Rawi because they played three matches with the national team and performed well. It was important for them to undergo a period of rest, but there is the return for Luis Martin Junior and he will be present in the Al Khor match," Lamouchi noted. "We will play the league matches in order to achieve victory to preserve the positive spirit in the team and to preserve the fighting spirit that we saw in our match against Al Arabi. We have a large number of players ready to play hard," Lamouchi concluded. In a similar press conference, Al-Khor coach said that a very strong clash is awaiting them against Al-Duhail. "I would like to thank my team for their effort in the previous match in which they fought till the last minute. But we were unlucky. However, we are definitely working now to build a strong team for the future. We will fight all the way in the last two matches against Al-Duhail and Al-Rayyan," he said. "Al-Duhail are a very strong team not here in Qatar but in Asia in general. We know very well that a difficult match awaits us and we enter this match with the goal of achieving victory. We presented a good game two days ago and now we're playing a game against Al-Duhail. We have prepared well. We have six points available to us and we must save the season and perform to the required level," added Schafer. Al-Duhail will face Al-Khor face at the Al Ahli Stadium on Tuesday. The kick-off is at 20:30. (QNA)
