Al Kharaitiyat coach Abdelaziz El Amri spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 8 match against Qatar SC.

“The most important thing for us at the moment is to get more points. We were delighted with our first victory. More importantly, we could arrest the slump. The win against Al Gharafa was actually a lifeline for us after losing the first six matches.

“Now, we are against direct opponents as we face Qatar SC. They are a side capable of scoring. They had problems in some games, but they cannot be written off.

“We didn’t deserve to lose six games on the trot. Some of our defeats were accidental. We did not concede any goal for the first time and that itself was a good thing.

“We woke up after the first three fixtures. We are not a bad team. We do belong to the QNB Stars League. Even in training, I can see the players are now more motivated. I hope all that will be translated into success against Qatar SC.

“If we win this game too, that will be a greater motivation,” said El Amri.
