Al Duhail Head Coach Christophe Galtier confirmed that the team benefited from the friendly experience they played this evening versus Shanghai Shinhua despite the defeat.

The coach said after the end of the match: We had a good experience this evening that the team will benefit from a lot, and it is part of our preparations for the resumption of the league. We played a good match, especially in the second half despite missing a number of our players joining the national teams, which is why we fielded a number of our young players and gave them the opportunity to benefit from this experience. A match like this is always strong because it has enthusiasm and seriousness and every player gives his best.
