Doha: Qatar SC coach Helio Sousa stressed his team’s readiness for their match against Al Rayyan at Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium on Wednesday.
Speaking ahead of their 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League match against Al Rayyan, postponed from Week 13, Sousa said: “We know that we are facing a very strong match against Al Rayyan. The matches of the two teams are always characterized by strength and excitement, and we hope that the match will turn out to be enjoyable for the fans.
“We have prepared in the appropriate manner and are seeking to continue victories after we succeeded in achieving a 2-1 victory during our last match against Al Shamal. We are looking forward to achieving victory in our next match so that we can continue to move forward in the league table.
“Qatar SC will treat the remaining three matches in the league championship as if they were final matches in order to achieve victory and obtain the largest possible number of points before the end of the tournament. I have confidence in the capabili
ties of the Qatar SC team members and their great desire to provide the best possible level during the remaining matches,” said Souza.
For his part, Al Rayyan coach Leonardo Jardim stated: “We have an important match against Qatar SC, which is an integrated team and its level does not reflect its current position in the standings, and we must give everything we have in order to get the three points. Regarding the standings, we will continue fighting until the end to achieve victory to obtain the best position in the ranking table.
“We have a rule that we work by, which is to play with the available players, and in this match, the same available players will be the ones who participated in our last match in the league against Muaither.
“Al Rayyan always play to achieve the best results. Sometimes we go through good periods and sometimes we go through not good periods, and the Al Rayyan team has a list of the best names in the league,” said Jardim.
