<p>Al Rayyan coach Michael Laudrup spoke to the media ahead of their Qatar Cup semifinal against Al Sadd.</p><p>“In football, you always have to look ahead and learn from the past. We have a strong game against Al Sadd and our matches always have a special flavour. We are now preparing the team to be at its best during this period.</p><p>“This is what the players know and we will work to equip the team so that it is at its best. I cannot prepare any result or expect it, but we can prepare to perform very well. I wish we convert the chances that we create into goals unlike what happened with us against Al Sadd earlier.</p><p>“Be it in the league, AFC Champions League or cup tournament, Al Rayyan have proved they are strong. It won’t be different this time. I promise that our players will bring out their best and I expect the game to be very strong. There are some small details that will determine the winners.</p><p>“The resignation of Football Head Ali Salem Afifa and team manager Maskar Al Shafi will not affect the players much. In terms of video technology, I cannot say that I am for or against it.</p><p>“As for my future with Al Rayyan, I am not worried about my contract ending at the end of the season. We will talk and decide my course.</p><p>Al Rayyan player Ahmed Yasser said, “This is my first Qatar Cup with Al Rayyan, having played for Al Duhail earlier, so I wish to win this title, especially since we have exited from the AFC Champions League.”</p>
