Qatar SC coach Youssef Safri spoke to the media ahead of their 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League Week 4 match against Al Wakrah.

“Al Wakrah are one of the best clubs in the QNB Stars League and excel with outstanding collective performance. We will also play at the Al Janoub Stadium, which increases the importance of the meeting.

“It is very important to follow the quality of performance and results, and I have great confidence in the Qatar SC players to achieve a positive result that satisfies the club’s management and our loyal fans.

“Unfortunately, we lost in the first match (vs Al Arabi), then we suffered a 1-1 draw (vs Al Markhiya) which was like a defeat before our efforts helped us achieve a win in the third match (vs Al Sailiya).

“I have also seen that our opponents are exploiting weaknesses towards the end which we were keen to iron out. Although, I am very satisfied with the team's performance, especially the chances we created and I value the efforts of all the players because they have the will and determination to win and the ability to achieve more,” said Safri.

Qatar SC player Nasser Baksh said, “We achieved a victory in the last match which we needed to get a positive dose with a good start for our enthusiasm.

“We respect Al Wakrah but we have prepared well and our morale is high and we shall be in pursuit of victory.”
