Doha, January 10 (QNA) – Al Rayyan Forward Yohan Boli said that the goal of Al Rayyan team, who have won the QNB Stars League eight times, is to win more matches to make up for the unimpressive start this season.
In an exclusive interview with Qatar Stars League website, Ivorian star Yohan Boli, who has been one of the lead attackers of Al Rayyan for a few seasons now, described their match against Al Sadd tomorrow as difficult, saying: “We’re focused on this game. We’ll prepare for all games like a final, so Al Sadd or whoever the opponents, we try to win all games. Because it’s Qatar Clasico, it’s simple like that. Fans are eagerly waiting for this game especially. Its a great motivation for the competing clubs, players and everyone involved.”
He added that they resumed the league competition after a long break, which saw Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup. “It’s good that we started again in good fashion and now were all focused on the next matches.”
Asked whether the team can maintain the momentum the rest of the season, he replied: “Yes, we can. We’re capable of sustaining the momentum. Having registered our first league victory this season, we feel we can build on it and score more wins and points, which we need the most at this stage, starting from the Qatar Clasico. “Like in all weeks, we work hard to be ready for the next battle. We hope to translate our training and preparations into good performance on the pitch and thus make up for the lost points in the early rounds.”
The Ivorian star added: We couldn’t start the season well, so we take it game by game. We hope to make progress as the season progresses and we’ve to see at the end of the season where we stand.
Concluding, he said: “It’s always an honour to be a part of this team and wear this special shirt in every game. Its true that we havent had a good start to the season. But in the New Year, we really want to forget the first part of the season and give a smile to the entire Al Rayyan family with solid performances.” (QNA)
