Al Sadd coach Felix Sanchez spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 8 match against Al Wakrah.

“We know that Al Wakrah had a good season last year and they are also in good shape this season. We know that their style of play is very different from other teams.

“Al Wakrah are an attacking team and play with high pressure, so we will need to know how to manage things to compete at a good level. Our last match in the AFC Champions League Elite against Persepolis was very difficult. Of course, we need to analyze our performance and prepare well for the upcoming match.

“We must prepare in the best possible way to face Al Wakrah. This is the most important match for us at this moment and we must prepare well for it to achieve victory and collect the three points,” said Sanchez.

Al Sadd player Ali Asad said, “We have an important match, we are currently having a good period especially in the AFC Champions League Elite. We lost some points in the league championship and we seek to compensate in a match that will be strong against a competing team, Al Wakrah. We seek to do our best against Al Wakrah to achieve victory and collect the three points that will give us a great opportunity to advance in the standings and please our fans.”
