Al Arabi coach Luka Bonacic spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 8 match against Al Gharafa.

“We will try to get back to winning ways with a victory against Al Gharafa. At the same time, Al Gharafa had lost in their last three games and may come hard at us. We must be wary of them.

“We have to get back our winning mentality. We hope to put up our best. We must be prepared for all scenarios.

“I can make physical and tactical changes, but I cannot change the mentality of the players. We play one or two games very well, and then fare badly in one or two games.

“We lose concentration sometimes. The ups and downs are difficult to handle. But then, we must be ready for them. The best teams survive the downs.

“It was not easy in the beginning as we had made many changes from last season. We are trying to improve our game and our ambition is top four,” said Bonacic.
