Al Wakrah coach Jose Murcia spoke to the media ahead of their 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League Week 19 match against Qatar SC.

“During the break, we felt some recovery and relief due to the results that preceded the break, and we began preparing for this match step by step, and this match is important, because we want to reach our next goal in the best possible way.

“We are striving to overcome this obstacle and it will be the third victory in a row if we win this match. This game is considered as one of the most important matches of this season, because its result may contribute significantly to our rise in the standings.

“I do not fear for my team due to the last break. We knew the main reason for what happened after the last break and this time we focused on increasing the psychological preparation of the players, and that the focus should be only on the next match,” said Murcia.

Al Wakrah player Ibrahim Al Sadiq said, “My team is excited to play the remaining matches of the league championship in general and to face Qatar SC in particular, in search of providing the best levels and achieving victories that will help the team achieve its goals.

“Qatar SC have good players and are also excited about this match, especially after their victory in the last match, but we have great determination to overcome this obstacle.

“There is nothing impossible in football and there is no significant difference in points between us and the leaders, so our focus is only on achieving victories, and after that, every incident will have a bearing on the competition for the lead.”
