The team’s striker, Michael Olunga, stressed the importance of the team’s match versus Al Sadd on Friday evening. The player said in his speech at the pre-match press conference that was held yesterday evening at the club’s press conference hall: We know the importance of the match that awaits us versus Al Sadd, the leader of the league table and the team with the distinctive performance, but we will do our best on the field to achieve victory over them.

Regarding the team’s decline, the player stated: There are a number of reasons that caused the team’s performance to decline, especially the injuries that kept more than one player from participating with the team, losing focus in some matches, and the high level of competition. There are also psychological factors after the team’s successive losses, but we will try to regain our strength to achieve victory and appear in the required manner.

Olunga concluded: I am here to help the team, and my decline in scoring is due to the tactical changes that need time to be adapted, especially in the offensive aspect. There is also the absence of a number of influential elements due to injuries, and I was injured, which contributed to my absence from participating in a number of matches. But now we continue to work with all determination to regain our strength in the upcoming matches.
