Coach Hernan Crespo attributed the team’s victory this evening over Umm Salal to the great efforts exerted by the players throughout the match. The coach said in a statement to the official website after the end of the match: Today’s match was very difficult, I think we had many chances to score some goals at the beginning of the second half, but this is football and we have to be ready, and when you can’t get a big difference in the score, you have to fight for every ball every minute, until the last minute, as always.
The coach added: Al Duhail men have put up a great effort, and we are still facing some problems with some injured players, but we have a great group of players, and very good professionals, so I am happy with that.
Concluding his speech, Crespo said: We need everyone to be ready in the next stage, because Al Duhail needs every one of us, and we have to be present mentally and physically every day, in every training session, and in every official match.
