Al Sadd coach Xavi Hernandez spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 11 match against Al Gharafa.

“We have to make a strong return to the league competition. There is no time to rest now or in the days to come. We have to use all players to collect points to make up for the lapses. We must win every game.

“Al Sadd’s style is collective play. That helped us present good matches at the beginning of the season. We have many standout players who can offer their best during the match against Al Gharafa.

“I understand the club’s fans' sadness over the team’s results, but we promise them that we will do our best to change the situation. We and the fans are one family and we need their support,” said Xavi.
