Al Ahli coach Nebojsa Jovovic spoke to the media ahead of their 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League Week 21 match against Al Sailiya.

“We suffered back-to-back heavy losses and we must work to restore things to normal in the next match and end the season with victories.

“We respect Al Sailiya as a very special team and they do not deserve to be in the last position. They have good players and offer good levels. They have strengthened their ranks with a number of distinguished players in the January transfer window and the last position in the league does not mean that they are a weak team. But as a coach, I focus on my team and make sure we are fully technically and physically ready for the match. The match will not be easy and we have to focus on achieving victory.

“We miss a number of players for this match, such as Yazan Al Naimat and Abdulaziz Hazaa due to injury and red card respectively. But at the same time I wish all other players will play,” said Nebojsa.

Al Ahli player Moaz Abdullah said, “We, the players, feel responsible and know that the team needs to win the match against Al Sailiya, so we will make every effort to win the match and thus be back on the winning path.”
