Al Arabi coach Heimir Hallgrimsson spoke to the media ahead of their 2019-20 QNB Stars League Week 6 match against Al Khor.

“Al Khor are a strong team that creates many problems for opponents. We’ve analysed their strengths and weaknesses.

“We talked a lot about our match against Al Shahaniya in the fourth round. I had said that it would be a difficult game and that turned out to be true. Even though we won, everyone should learn from the lesson of playing against Al Shahania.

“I preferred to face Al Sadd without delay, especially since we were at our best. However, the delay didn’t affect us, we played a friendly match in order to keep the team ready.

“I’m happy with the presence of large number of Al Arabi fans, which is important in motivating players. I urge our fans to support us more,” said Hallgrimsson.
