Al Sadd coach Jesualdo Ferreira spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 17 match against Al Rayyan.

“It’s the biggest fixture in Qatar and we are very motivated. I have nothing else to say other than that the fans will have a big role to play in this match. I hope they all will support us strongly.

“I think the pressure will be on our rivals more than Al Sadd. We are the leaders and the difference of two points with Al Duhail does not mean much in football, but we are determined to win all remaining matches in our bid to win the title.

“Al Rayyan’s contract with Venezuelan striker Gelmin Rivas is proving productive. We have seen him in action in two games and he scored four goals. We, at Al Sadd, are not concerned about a particular player. Our goal is winning the league title.

“Al Rayyan are a great team that likes to play an open game and we are ready to play with all strength,” said Ferreira.
