With Al Sadd at today’s Qatar Stars League Media Day we managed to grab a few moments with Al Sadd forward Muriqui to get his thoughts on the new season which will kick off on September 11.<br />
 <br />
“I’m very happy to feel fit and be ready for the start of the league. Last season I wasn’t ready for the start of the season due to an operation which put me out of action for a long time.”<br />
 <br />
When asked about the Wolves new signings the Brazilian forward added, “This season Al Sadd will do better than last season, the arrival of Xavi will help the team a lot. With regards to myself, I feel ready to score more than I did before.”<br />
 <br />
Asked about the overseas preseason camp, the forward said that the team focussed on fitness and also had a number of friendly matches which helped the team “gel” ahead of the new season.<br />
 <br />
Muriqui then concluded by saying, “The season will be very hard and stronger than last season because teams have bolstered their squads very well. I expect to see 6 teams fighting for the title and trophies. We will be among them and hopefully come out on top.”
