Al Ahli coach Igor Biscan spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 10 match against Umm Salal.

“Umm Salal are one of the very strong teams and have technical and physical capabilities, but Al Ahli will work to appear with a distinctive technical level and strong performance for the team before working to collect points. The match will not be easy for us, but good performance in it leads to getting points.

“Our goal is always to bring the team to the best technical level as a system inside the stadium in order to achieve the goals in the season, so I view each match as important and we must prepare for it well. I look forward to continuing on the path of victories in the league.

“We play as a team and have one goal in the current season, which is to appear at the best technical level and achieve victories. I see the ability of the team members to perform within the same system and each player can compensate for the absence of the other,” said Biscan.

Al Ahli captain Jassim Mohammed said, “The matches between the two teams in the league are always full of strength and excitement, even if we have an advantage over the past years, but players realize that the match will not be easy and that Umm Salal are one of the strong teams in the league, and that defeating them will not be easy. So we must enter the field with full focus in order to collect the three points.

“The match comes after a league break, but as players we prepared well and worked to be at our best levels because the goal is to continue victories in the league.”
