Al Bataeh coach, Croatian Goran Tomic, spoke at the pre-match press conference saying: An important match awaits us before the break and we will enter this match with a positive spirit despite the recent loss because I saw a good performance in the Al Wasl match and it gave me a dose of confidence and faith in my team’s capabilities. I hope that in the next match we will stop the series of negative results and start a new journey. Goran said that I will repeat what I said before in many matches, we did not deserve to lose and in the last match the team proved that it has a fighting spirit and can get out of this situation.

Our Brazilian player Neto said that the preparations are good and everyone is at the peak of their focus and we know that it will be an easy match and I am confident that we will present a great match, and what we really lack is a little focus and success. Neto said that the players are implementing the coach’s instructions and working hard in training to be fully prepared
