Al Sailiya coach Sami Trabelsi spoke to the media ahead of their 2020-21 season QNB Stars League Week 3 match against Al Kharaitiyat.

“There is no doubt that the preparation for this match is completely different from previous matches, especially since it comes after our heavy loss against Al Sadd.

“The players knew full well that they could match Al Sadd in terms of goals, especially after they scored the third goal. But that did not happen and the loss was heavy. This is why our match with Al Kharaitiyat is important and there is no substitute for victory, so that we can make compensation.

“It is important to win against Al Kharaitiyat, so that the problem that occurred last season, when we lost more than 20 points against teams of the same level or less, is not repeated. So we only think about winning over Al Kharaitiyat.

“We must be fully prepared, focused and disciplined in order to win the match and collect three points,” said Trabelsi.
