Qatar SC coach Wesam Rizik spoke to the media ahead of their 2019-20 QNB Stars League Week 14 match against Al Gharafa.

“We will face Al Gharafa with full force and we have to be careful. God willing, we will perform well.

“I am convinced that any team should have a bad match, which happened against Al Wakrah. Everyone admitted that the performance was not enough to satisfy us. It was a lesson for us and we have benefited a lot from it.

“I am waiting for my players’ reaction against Al Gharafa. I consider this match as a special challenge for them. As is the case with all matches, we consider it as a big mission for us.

“We did not think we needed to change the side in the winter transfer window on the front of overseas professionals. But I spoke to the team management about recruiting two Qatari players, who would be good additions,” said Wesam.
