<p>Qatar SC’s Khaled Abdourauf spoke to QSL Website on the 2019-20 season Media Day organised by the Qatar Stars League for QNB Stars League players.</p><p>“Even though we lost our first match, we believe we had a good start because we almost pulled off a win against such a strong team like Al Duhail. However, our players lacked experience. Or else, Al Duhail wouldn’t have scored two late goals and sealed victory.  </p><p>“Our pre-season preparations went off well. We’ve a good mix of young and experienced players. The group is working together well under new coach Carlos Ferrer. We need more time to get to know each other, game-wise, and I’m sure we’ll have a strong squad as time passes.</p><p>“The performance we put up against Al Duhail gave us great motivation and we look forward to collecting three points against Al Wakrah in our next game.</p><p>“For me, playing for Qatar SC is a new challenge. It’s a new team and it’s a new target, after representing Al Gharafa. I missed many matches due to my knee ligament injury and I wasn’t happy last season. So I look forward to a productive season this time.</p><p>“I would say the QNB Stars League is more competitive this season. Almost all teams strengthened their squads with new recruitments. There’s no easy side and it’s going to be a tough season. The results can be unpredictable even when strong contenders such as Al Sadd and Al Duhail play against lesser-known sides,” said Khaled.</p>
