Al Bataeh coach Farhad Majidi said in the press conference in advance of his team’s match against Khorfakkan in the second round of the ADNOC Professional League: “First, I would like to talk about the previous match and thank the players for the strong performance. If we had played more intelligently, we would have returned from Al Ain with the points. We trained well during the week. Khorfakkan is a good team with good players, and we will put in place the appropriate plan for the match to come out with the three points.” Meanwhile, first team player Marwan Al Watani said: “Our preparations were good and positive, and we will face a good team with high-level players, but we are ready for this match to come out with a positive performance and result. All the players work as one team, and we are optimistic about going far in the league. Our league is becoming more difficult every season due to the presence of a large number of stars. My goal is to serve the team and provide the highest levels to achieve the dream of reaching the UAE national team.”
