Galtier: “We achieved an important victory against a fierce team”…

Our first-team head coach, Christophe Galtier, expressed his happiness with the big victory the team achieved in tonight’s match versus Al Sadd. He confirmed that it was an important victory against a fierce and high-caliber opponent, after our team was able to impose its style and control the course of the match.

Galtier continued: “Our goal tally could have been higher after we largely controlled the first half, and our penetrations of Al Sadd defenses were relatively easy. This would not have been achieved without the full commitment of all our players.”

Galtier added: “There was a collective commitment from all the team’s members and full respect for the tactical plan that we had prepared. Our defensive and offensive lines cooperated to deliver a very high-quality first half.”

Galtier said: “The second half was a bit more complicated for our team. We started well and created some opportunities, but as soon as we scored the fifth goal, I felt the team had slowed down and signs of relaxation appeared among our players after we felt close to winning and securing the result of the match.”

Galtier then continued: “We could have performed much better during the second half, which is something I will discuss with the players and emphasize the need for a consistent level on the field, regardless of the score.”

Galtier then continued, saying, “Of course, five matches with five victories is a remarkable thing after we faced strong teams and achieved very encouraging results before the upcoming international break.”

Galtier concluded his speech by emphasizing the team’s need for rest now and recovery in order to prepare for the upcoming match versus Al Shahaniya, the promoted team that has been delivering good performances in recent matches. It is an important match before the break, and the team will be fully prepared for that confrontation.
