Al Bataeh coach Farhad Majidi said in the press conference for his team’s match against Al Wasl in the fourth round of the ADNOC Professional League: “Naturally, our goal is to avoid a poor performance like the previous match. We know very well that we will face a strong team, and I believe the players are ready for this match. The good news for us is the return of our four injured players, which makes our work easier. However, it will certainly be a difficult match, and I believe we are ready for this match and hope to perform well.”

“This is our third match in the league and our second at home. We won the first match and we are optimistic about playing again at home. We know that we will face one of the strongest teams in the league, but the coach has prepared the team in an appropriate way and we hope to achieve a positive result. Focus is important in all matches, especially against a team like Al Wasl. We hope to achieve our goals from the match,” said first-team player Rafael Pereira.
