Doha: Al Rayyan coach Younes Ali and Al Khor assistant coach Badr Al Maimani spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 7 match. "The Al Khor match is important for us, and its importance comes due to our efforts to compensate for the points we lost in the previous rounds, and to advance further and move away from the bottom of the standings, and gradually start reaching the best possible position. The team prepared well during the international break, by taking advantage of the QSL Cup matches to prepare most of the players, as well as the participation of overseas players with the national teams and their return and participation in training, and I believe that the team is fully prepared to appear in a good way in the match against Al Khor," said Younes Ali. "The Al Khor match is difficult, especially since it is against a team looking to compensate after losing in some previous matches, and playing on its home ground and among its fans. We are looking to gain points in a ny possible way to give us more comfort, and to appear better in the upcoming matches. The team has big names, but we need a little time to reach the best possible readiness," He added. For his part, Al Khor assistant coach Badr Al Maimani said "We have a strong match against Al Rayyan, but I have great confidence in the players to appear in a good and excellent way, and we will do everything we have to collect the three points." "The circumstances of the matches differ and the players determination and high spirit are what will make the difference. I have great confidence in the players ability to appear in a positive way," he added. "Ayman Hussein, the Iraqi professional, is one of the wonderful scorers and one of the best scorers, and thank God for his strong return. We are very happy with his return and he is a strong addition to the team on the offensive side," Al Maimani continued. Source: Qatar News Agency
