Qatar SC coach Wesam Rizik spoke to the media ahead of their 2019-20 QNB Stars League Week 19 match against Umm Salal.

“The match against Umm Salal is extremely important, especially since both teams are in the bottom half of the table and are in dire need of points.

“Our preparations were excellent, especially that we tried to take advantage of our performance in the previous match against Al Rayyan although it is past. It is important that we focused on the positives in addition to the quality of performance that we are always keen on.

“Our team is in better shape than Umm Salal and there is no doubt that everyone is trying to win. That is what we aspire to achieve in order to be in a better position in the table,” said Wesam.

Qatar SC player Issa Ahmed said, “An important match awaits us. It will be a tough game for both sides and our preparations were good. We seek points from this game, which we expect will be interesting.

“We hope to make our fans happy, given that our spirit and enthusiasm to achieve a positive result are high.

“We have put behind the disappointment of losing to Al Rayyan and its result will not affect us. We respect the Umm Salal team, but we feel we can win.”
