Qatar SC coach Sergio Batista spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 18 match against Al Sadd.

“The game will not be easy. Our opponents are playing in an offensive manner. We had seen that especially during their match against Al Rayyan in the last round. Yet, we are ready to face them and will try to collect three points.

“We are desperate to win this match, especially after losing in the last round to Al Khor. Despite Al Sadd’s strength, I am very optimistic about my team’s ability to achieve a positive result.

“We will display a winning mentality in all our matches. We have respect for Al Sadd, who have good players.

“I want my players to be cautious in this game. We have to compensate for our lapses. New players Jugurtha Hamroun and Baha Abdulrahman will give additional strength to the team,” said Batista.
