Muaither coach Jorge Da Silva spoke to the media ahead of their 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League Week 10 match against Qatar SC.

“We had a successful restart against Al Rayyan last week and we got a good point for us. I am completely satisfied with the players’ performance in the match, and we seek to develop little by little and put in more effort in all the important upcoming matches, as well as giving everything we have to return to the path of victories.

“Qatar SC are one of the good teams and have distinguished players and are in a good position in the table. Our match with them will be difficult in view of the two teams’ need for three points, but we also have distinguished players and our team is ready for the match, and we have worked in recent days and continuously to correct all the mistakes that the players made.

“In previous matches, winning this match puts us in a good place in the standings, and gives us great motivation to continue the path of victories, and this is our current goal.

“We studied the strengths and weaknesses of the Qatar SC and we will work to exploit their weaknesses. We will rely on the capabilities of our players in addition to playing with high concentration. I trust the players’ abilities and we are ready for this important game.

“We always work in training to prepare the players in all aspects, whether technically, tactically or physically, on an ongoing basis, through the various divisions of play, and the players understand this and make every effort to reach complete readiness,” said D Silva.

Muaither player Fouad Hanfoug said, “As players and technical staff, we are satisfied with the result of the draw in the previous match against Al Rayyan, where we presented a strong performance and succeeded in restricting Al Rayyan’s play and preventing their danger, and we had opportunities that we did not exploit well.

“We respect the opponents, but our first goal is to get three points from this match.

“I have confidence in the abilities of my fellow players and we will make every effort to achieve victory. The match is not easy and we must play with high concentration, because such matches are decided on small details. We thank the technical staff for the continuous instructions to us and we will strive to achieve victory and nothing else.”
