Al Duhail coach Hatem Al Moaddeb spoke to the media ahead of their 2020-21 season QNB Stars League Week 4 match against Qatar SC.

“The team is ready to face Qatar SC. We’ve prepared well and our focus during the stoppage of the league was on the physical aspects and we also focused on young players. We have regained the services of our international players after their return from the national team camp and they are a good addition to the squad ahead of the Qatar SC clash.

“Al Duhail are the league champions and we could not afford to have such a start, as the team lost a match and won a match, and is now in seventh place. We must get back to the winning path in order to retain the title.

“The Qatar SC match is very important to us and we will be fully focused and everyone will see the real performance of Al Duhail team, starting from this match.

“In the Ooredoo Cup, we gave opportunity to a number of young players who performed well and we do not look at the results as much as we care about the technical and physical capabilities of our players. They succeeded in grabbing the opportunity and fared well,” said Hatem.
