Al Shamal VS Al Wakrah, December 20, 4pm at the Shamal stadium
 
 
Al Shamal coach Silvio Diliberto:
“I can't talk about the way Gharafa play. It is strange if you lose big in one game and win big in another. Maybe it is the current psychological aspect of the players. The goals came very easy. But we can only play according to our strengths and hope that they have another off day.”
 
“We know what we have to do as a team. We are in the last position and we have to prepare to win this game mentally and introduce some aspects tactically. I can only prepare my team and rectify our mistakes. It will be an open game with both teams going for the win. It won't be any different for us with regards to if we are playing against a team that has such ups and down. For us, we need an extra boost from a certain players. We have had some consistency but we haven't been able to convert that into wins sadly.”
 
 

Al Wakrah coach Nouradine bin Zakri:
“The game is important for both teams. We are playing to win, to take three points and head into the break on a positive note. “
 
“My team has shown good performances in the last three games. Our target is to improve now, to win this game and come back after the break with more motivation.”
 
“As a coach, I have started to understand how the league is played. I understand the other teams' way of playing. I know the competition is difficult, especially in the last two rounds we have seen strange results. It is positive for us to win two games in a row. But we need to keep playing at our best to achieve more good results.”
 
“As for getting in more players during the winter break, I believe we need some reinforcements. But that's true for all the teams. Well, if you can bring Messi for me that would be great.”
 
“Al Shamal is suffering in the last place. They want to climb up the rankings. They have shown against Al Sadd and Kharaitiyat that they have good performances in them. We respect them and are working to take maximum points from the match.”
