Qatar SC coach Younes Ali spoke to the media ahead of their 2020-21 season QNB Stars League Week 18 match against Al Arabi.

“Al Arabi have been doing well of late and there has been great development in their team at the individual and collective levels, so that makes our task tough.

“The match will undoubtedly be difficult. Al Arabi include a good group of players who have contributed towards their recent good performance. We’re prepared for Al Arabi and we target three points.

“The preparations we are making are good and we hope we will put up a strong show. The difficulty lies in the fact that Al Arabi have a last chance to catch up with the top four. We are looking to compensate for our drawn result (0-0 against  Al Wakrah) in the last round and seek to be back on the winning path.

“I am satisfied with the team’s performance and what we have presented in the previous matches. Now is the time for results and we are seeking three points against Al Arabi to ensure we stay in the top-four bracket,” said Younes.

Qatar SC player Nasir Peer said, “The match against Al Arabi is important. It is a good team that plays at a strong level. We respect Al Arabi, but we will strive to win and collect three points.

“Preparations were good and there is no pressure on us at all. We are on the right path and we hope to conclude the league in a good way. We look at matches as if they are final and I call on our fans to keep supporting the team.”
