Al Sadd coach Razvan Lucescu spoke to the media ahead of their 2026-2027 season Doha Bank Stars League Week 6 match against Al Duhail.

“It will be a very intense match between two excellent teams and I expect an exciting and entertaining encounter. It is crucial that we give our all and secure a win, as we need to get back to winning ways.

“The most important thing is to enter the match with full concentration and demonstrate the kind of response I have spoken about previously, showing a desire to win, a determination to fight for every ball and maintaining focus from the opening whistle until the very end,” said Lucescu.

Al Sadd player Giovani Henrique said, “Certainly, it will be a tough match for both sides. We have had good training sessions and while we are aware of our current situation, we remain confident and prepared to fight.

“I have faith in my teammates and in myself. I believe we are capable of winning this match and returning to the top of table.”
