Al Duhail First Football Team Head Coach Christophe Galtier confirmed that the team achieved an important and well-deserved victory against a strong team, which is Al Wakra, during his statements after winning today’s match by two clean goals.
Galtier opened his statements by saying: We achieved an important victory against a team that enjoys high levels after a series of consecutive matches below the usual level. It was necessary to make some adjustments on the level of the lineup in order to add more enthusiasm and change the rhythm of the game during this match.
Galtier added: We regained the rhythm and harmony between the players, as the team played a wonderful match in terms of performance, and we succeeded in stopping the attempts of our opponent. We scored an early goal in the first half and strengthened it with a second goal in the second half, which allowed us to control the course of the match. We demonstrated a good performance despite some errors in the final touch, which prevented us from reaching a larger goal difference and increasing the difference.
Galtier continued: What made me most happy was the players’ commitment and the continuity of the strong performance throughout both halves of the match. The substitutes also contributed positively in addition to the rest of the team players. An important victory gave us a strong boost before the upcoming match versus Al Sadd in about two weeks from now.
Galtier then added: Next week we will work on preparing for the match against Al Sadd and take advantage of the break period to hold a friendly match in addition to working on restoring the readiness of all players in order to complete the full squad before this decisive match.
Galtier concluded: Today’s result is very encouraging, especially since we presented a high defensive performance and our players were able to move the ball easily and correctly. Perhaps we lacked the final touch a little, as I mentioned, but the most important thing is that we achieved a deserved victory and three valuable points in today’s match.
