Javi Gracia: The next match against Al-Wehdat will be different
Al-Sadd coach Javi Gracia described the upcoming game against Al-Wehdat of Jordan in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage as “different.”
Speaking during the pre-match press conference: “It will be a different match playing against the same team. We got a deserved win against them in the third round and we will work hard to confirm our superiority and get a new victory.”
The coach continued, “We are excited and looking forward to playing an intense game in the fourth round match and win once again. All the games are difficult and we are working to give our best in the upcoming games.”
Regarding his squad selection in the next game, Gracia said: “Every match has its own circumstances and we are working to choose the best players for each match. I am happy with our substitute players’ performance in the last game against Al-Wehdat. Tabata scored a goal and also Muhammad Waad scored, and this gives us great enthusiasm in the upcoming matches.”
He added: “Against Al-Wehdat, in the first half, we were 2-1 behind, but in the second half, with work and effort, we managed to score 4 goals. I am happy with what the team has done so far in the tournament. We are improving every day and our goal is to win all the matches.”
