Al Khor coach Nassif Al Bayawi spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 21 match against Al Sadd.

“We have been preparing for this game in a different way after the defeat to Qatar SC last week and I am waiting for a special reaction from the players against Al Sadd, having focused on the strengths of the team and worked to address the weaknesses in the hope that they come out at least with a point.

“There is no comparison between the two teams in the first phase and second because we lost some important players. However, we badly need points. The loss to Qatar SC was painful,” said Al Bayawi.

“Al Khor player Ahmed Al Askar said, “The match has great importance for us as we are still in the bottom half. The preparations went off well.”
