<p>Al Ahli coach Nebosha Jovovic spoke to the media ahead of their 2020-21 season QNB Stars League Week 6 match against Umm Salal.</p><p>“We are ready to face Umm Salal. The long break between our last match and this match in the league was enough for me to prepare the players in a good way and correct our mistakes in order to be back on the winning path.</p><p>“This match will not be easy, but we have prepared the team well to meet Umm Salal, who have improved a lot. We respect Umm Salal, they are one of the good teams noted for high quality in performance. They have strengthened their ranks with a number of outstanding players, but we have enough players to face them and score points.</p><p>“We have not forgotten the heavy loss (1-7) we suffered at the hands of Al Sadd and we have learnt a lot from it. Big defeat is not good. I borrow the saying repeated by coaches in Italy and erstwhile Yugoslavia that “it is better to lose by seven goals at one time than losing seven times by one goal”.</p><p>“Past is past and we are now fully ready to face Umm Salal with the aim of returning to the path of victories. I have great confidence in my players’ abilities. I never doubted them and they have worked very seriously in the past period for the next stage,” said Nebosha.</p>
