Umm Salal coach Raul Caneda spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 19 match against Al Duhail.

“Everyone knows that Al Duhail are one of the best clubs in Asia. They have many good players and I have played against them before when I was coaching in Saudi Arabia.

“They are a balanced side. I knew from the start that we have to work to enhance the team spirit. It will be a really difficult game for us and we hope to put up a better showing. We have only 20 points. Most teams display good levels and we must bring out our best in the upcoming matches.

“This is not the right time to talk about new contract and coaching the side next season. We have to focus on the games on hand. We will think about other things after the end of the season,” said Caneda.
