Al Duhail Head Coach Hernan Crespo expressed his happiness with the victory that the team achieved this evening over Al Markhiya. The coach said in a statement to the official website after the end of the match: I am happy with today’s match. We were able to improve what we were working on, which is to have the personality that controls and possesses the ball, in addition to the dinamic movements to find the teammate and put the opponent under pressure when we need to, and to be patient to make better decisions.

Crespo added: I think that after our second goal, we had the opportunity to score the third goal, which would have relieved us from the suffering we went through in the last minutes.

The coach concluded: I am satisfied with the performance of the players who were able to play today and were recovering from injuries during the last period, and who made an effort to appear today without being fully ready, and I am very happy with the participation of Coutinho, who played his first match and gave a very good performance even though he is still recovering from his injury.
