“We are looking forward to ending the first half in the best way. Our players are fully aware that the match represents a high technical value for them and have prepared well for it.

“We did a good job in the last stage, we will work to appear in the best possible way in order to end the first half while we are in a good position and a better ranking.

“I have full respect for Al Sadd, they are one of the strongest teams and include players who play in the national teams. As Al Ahli coach, I only look at the match from one perspective, which is to provide a distinguished level that leads to victory and obtaining points,” said Biscan.

Al Ahli player Julian Draxler said, “The source of happiness is the high spirit that pervades the team with the great technical effort of the coach and his staff, which made me personally happier, especially after I recovered from his injury and began to provide a distinguished level that I see as helping the team achieve its goal in the current season. At the same time, I feel very comfortable in Al Ahli and am working with team-mates and the technical staff to make the season special for our fans.”
