Al Sadd head coach Hussein Ammouta assured the media that all the league matches are difficult and that Al-Shahania too will be a challenge. He added that the Oryxes achieved a positive result last week by beating Al Ahli which should be seen as a warning for Al-Sadd’s players in order to respect the opponents.

Ammouta added that Al-Haydoos can play in any position, whether in the middle or the wings or the front as well as the defence, and that they were happy to have such a versatile player. 

Ammouta added, “the first phase of the league was positive for Al-Sadd as we are the best offense despite the absence of Murqui and Youssef Ahmed and Saleh Al-Yazidi, while we are the second best defence. We are the only team never defeated so far this season."
