Al Ahli coach Pedro Miguel spoke to the media ahead of their 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League Week 8 match against Al Shamal.

“We achieved an important victory over Al Arabi in the last round and this will give the team great confidence to continue on the winning path, which is what we worked for in the last period. As a coach, I am constantly working to improve the team’s technical matters, at the level of group and individual performance.

“The main goal I am working towards is the culture of winning within the team and I believe that it comes over time and with continuous work. At the same time, I praise the performance of the players in our last match and the result we achieved by obtaining the three points.

“Al Ahli have many distinctive capabilities that will surface during the next stage. The technical and administrative staff are working hard for the best of the team, so I believe that the Al Shamal match is of great importance to me as a coach to continue on the path of victories and raise the performance level of the players with the aim of advancing in the ranking table,” said Pedro Miguel.

Al Ahli player Ahmed Al Sebaei said, “As players, we believe that the match will not be easy and we must give every effort on the field in order to achieve victory. Facing Al Shamal will not be easy and winning over them requires a distinguished performance and a high level.

“We are ready to continue the good performance and our goal will be full points, especially since Al Ahli deserve more than the current points, but it requires continuous effort and high focus from us. We will work to provide the best performance in the match with the aim of winning.”
