<p>Al Ahli coach Ruben de la Barrera spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 19 match against Al Shahania.</p><p>“We’ve prepared ourselves well. There was a great deal of interaction among the players during the training sessions. They were well-trained and they are expecting a strong match.</p><p>"I have a good impression of the Al Shahania team and I have great respect for them. It was underlined in the last round when they won against a big team (3-0 against Al Rayyan) that is going through a good period.</p><p>“We expect a tough game, but we hope the result will be in our favour. We feel we have a great responsibility ahead of us. Winning this match will give us huge confidence ahead of the remaining matches.</p><p>“In the previous two games, we presented positive things and negative things. We could not sustain the momentum throughout the match. We are trying to rectify our mistakes and provide a better level against Al Shahania.</p><p>“We have focused on our areas for improvement. I do not care about comparisons. We are going to play against a team that is fighting to survive in the league. We are confident that we will do our best,” said Barrera.</p>
