Al Sadd coach Felix Sanchez spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 19 match against Al Wakrah.

“After the international break, we have many players who were with their national teams and they are now ready to return to competition. We have four crucial matches ahead of us, starting with the match against Al Wakrah, which is an important match for us. We must focus on ourselves and strive to earn the three points as this is the only option if we want to reach the top of the league.

“We succeeded in earning the three points in the first leg, but it was a difficult match. Al Wakrah have distinguished players and are an organized and strong team in midfield. Therefore, we must be fully prepared for a strong match. All four upcoming matches will be of great importance to all teams as each team is striving to achieve a specific goal,” said Sanchez.

Al Sadd player Ali Asad said, “We have a difficult match ahead of us and we must give our best to achieve victory. We are coming off a remarkable period especially after qualifying for the quarter finals of AFC Champions League Elite.

“We aim to continue our winning streak, collect the three points, and remain in the competition for the league title. Our fans have played a major role in supporting us and we look forward to their support against Al Wakrah.”
