Umm Salal coach Wesam Rizik spoke to the media ahead of their 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League Week 21 match against Al Duhail.

“We will enter the match with high concentration and aim to achieve positive results, and to finish the league competition well.

“The team is providing good levels, but it has had bad luck in the recent period, and this is possible for any team. We, the technical staff, are working to make the team perform the best way.

“The Al Duhail match is very difficult due to the strength of the competitors, who include strong players, and are also trying to strengthen their position by winning. We respect Al Duhail and my confidence in the team is great to have a reaction in order to achieve the three points and provide a better display,” said Wesam.

Umm Salal player Yassin Al Bakhit said, “We hope to present a good level and achieve the three points.

“The team is ready for the game and I am very excited after the suspension period ends for two matches. Coach Wesam has prepared the team in the past few days in an ideal way by correcting the mistakes that the team made and cost us some defeats. We seek to compensate and provide a decent level, and that is our aim.

“Yes, Al Duhail are a great team and include the best players. At the same time, Umm Salal are able to present a match worthy of its name and achieve victory in view of the great support provided by the club's Board of Directors.”
