Al Ahli coach Nebojsa Jovovic spoke to the media ahead of their 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League Week 4 match against Al Wakrah.

“We showed high spirit and strong personality in our last match against Umm Salal and came out of it with a point despite our numerical disadvantage. But as a coach, I have to work on developing the team more from the offensive side to achieve the required superiority.

“We are working to prepare the team well to face Al Wakrah with the aim of winning the points. The two points out of the three rounds the team played in the league are not enough and we are looking forward to Al Ahli becoming more powerful and distinguished on the field.

“The competition is decided by points and I am aware of the importance of achieving victories and will work to prepare the players physically, technically and mentally in order to be in good shape. I have great confidence in my team’s capabilities and we will do everything to win points. We must strike a good defensive and offensive balance against Al Wakrah,” said Jovovic.

Al Ahli player Marko Jovovic said, “The team needs points in order to move into a good ranking among the teams in the QNB Stars League.

“Everyone knows the importance of victories and getting points, so we will work hard to beat Al Wakrah. We play as a group with one goal, which is victory in the next match.

“We have a group of players, all of whom are in an important stage for more understanding and harmony to provide a better performance on the field. But the most important thing for me as a player in the current stage is to achieve victory because it helps develop faster and better.”
