Al Ahli coach Igor Biscan spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 19 match against Al Rayyan.

“We had suffered from losing points in recent matches, but that did not mean we were unable to achieve our goal. The team would perform strongly in the remaining matches of the league, given their importance to the team’s progress.

“Al Ahli would be ready for the match and would make every effort to win. Our performance in the previous match and the one before that was not weak, despite the results, but that the team would play as a group with high spirits and a high level of physical and technical skill to achieve a positive result.

“I have confidence in my players’ abilities in the next phase. They would live up to the trust and perform in a manner that would please our fans.

“The difficulty of the match lies in Al Rayyan’s proximity to the top four, so we will give everything we have to secure a place in the top four, especially since the team has three more matches to play. We are aiming to win to ensure we remain among the top teams,” said Biscan.

Al Ahli player Erik Exposito said, “We sent a message to the club’s fans about the importance of supporting the team at the current stage of the league, given the players’ need for moral support to achieve our goals this season.

“It is essential for the players to receive moral support in order to return to winning ways.

“We will make every effort to achieve satisfactory results and we believe that Al Ahli have a lot to show in the next match and the rest of the matches.”
