Umm Salal coach Raul Caneda spoke to the media ahead of their 2019-20 QNB Stars League Week 4 match against Al Sadd.

“We are facing Al Sadd, one of the best teams in Asia. Playing against a big club like Al Sadd is not easy. Anyway, we are ready to face them.

“Every game has its own difficulties, but certainly a loss could affect our mindset.We have to prepare for any match in the best way. We will try to get the team out of frustration after the last loss (to Al Arabi).

“So far, we have one point, but we have no problems in the team. We have to work step by step, deal with the situations calmly and keep our concentration ahead of the next rounds.

“Yes, against Al Rayyan we had done a good job. Then, we did not keep the same level, we are still in the team-building phase and are trying to move forward to reach the highest levels and achieve positive results,” said Caneda.
