Al Duhail First Football Team Head Coach Djamel Belmadi stated during the pre-match press conference held this evening at Al Duhail Club conference hall that the confrontation with Al Rayyan is always characterized by strength and competitiveness, and that the team should be fully focused in order to achieve the first victory in the league.

Belmadi began his statements by saying: “Of course, Al Rayyan confrontation is our third in the league tournament. We have not achieved any victory in the previous matches, and the confrontation against Al Rayyan is always difficult given the strength and great popularity that the competing team enjoys.”

Belmadi then added: “There are many reasons that led to the decline in the team results with the start of the league, but it is enough for me to mention one of the most important reasons, which is not playing consecutive matches, which is perhaps what led to a slight lack of harmony and perhaps pushed us to reach the unsatisfactory results we have scored.”

Belmadi concluded: “We must play with our usual level and style inside the stadium during matches from beginning to end.”
