Al Bidda coach Gerard Zaragoza spoke to the media ahead of their 2026-2027 season Jetour League Week 5 match against Umm Salal.

“The coaching staff have focused on preparing the players both technically and physically. We have worked to address the errors that surfaced in the previous match against Al Kharaitiyat, aiming for a stronger performance and better overall balance on the pitch.

“The Umm Salal match will require intense focus and strict adherence to tactical instructions throughout the match. Small details and the ability to capitalize on available opportunities could prove decisive in determining the final outcome,” said Gerard Zaragoza.

Al Bidda player Jumaa Daher said, “The squad is fully aware of the need to improve following the result of the last round and is eager to deliver a strong performance against Umm Salal.

“Preparations are under way, driven by a firm desire to make amends. The players are committed to following the coaching staff’s directives and playing with a collective spirit, with a focus on both defensive and offensive aspects as well as converting chances in front of the goal.”
