Al Dhail Head Coach expressed his great happiness with his players’ performance after winning the first match of the new season, emphasizing the importance of a strong start to the league. The coach stressed that the first match is always fraught with challenges, as teams are just coming out of a long six-week preparation period, which includes intensive training and a number of friendly matches that are completely different from the pressure and atmosphere of official matches.

The coach added, “We were fully aware that there were some doubts about the right timing and achieving harmony in the absence of real competition. However, I am proud of the great commitment shown by the players and their full respect for the game plan. From the beginning, I asked them to impose the rhythm of the match and confirm their desire to win by scoring goals, and they succeeded in doing so despite some decline that occurred at the beginning of the second half.”

The coach continued “At the beginning of the second half, we conceded a goal, and the performance was not as expected. I tried to maintain the continuity of the rhythm after the good performance in the first half, but the team faced some difficulties. Despite this, the players showed an excellent reaction and we were able to regain control of the match. The five substitutions we made were decisive, as each player who entered the field added real value and contributed to achieving victory.”

The coach expressed his satisfaction with the team’s ability to utilize all its resources, noting that the substituted players showed a fighting spirit and complemented their teammates who started the match, which reflects the cohesion of the group as a whole. The coach stressed the need to continue in this manner and not waste any points in the upcoming matches, especially if the team’s main goal is to compete for the top positions in the league.

The coach pointed out that this victory represents an important starting point, but he warned against relaxation or overconfidence, emphasizing that the challenges are still great, saying, “Today’s victory is very important, but we must now prepare well for the next match. We will face Al Rayyan, and it will not be an easy match by any means. We must focus on regaining fitness quickly and continue working hard and with dedication. Scoring six goals in the first match does not mean that the upcoming matches will be easy, on the contrary, it requires more commitment and hard work from us.”

The coach concluded his statements by emphasizing the importance of focus and seriousness in every upcoming match
, stressing that the ambition to win and excel must remain present in everyone’s minds throughout the season to achieve the goals set by the club
