“The Al Sadd team is looking for compensation after losing the services of more than one player in the first seven matches and we are also looking to produce another distinguished appearance and collect the three points.
“Our goal in the Al Sadd match is to win and get the three points. We do not think about the league or the table, and focus our thinking on the next round and appearing well.
“I urge our fans to strongly support the team in the next match as well. They have always been a great support,” Ali said.

“It is too early to talk about topping the league, we are still in the 11th round and we will take each match separately. The one against Al Sadd will be tough for both teams.
“Al Sadd are a big team that is not affected by the absence of some players, and they achieved victory in the last round. Their players will definitely be ready to meet us. We will also do our best to win and make our fans happy.”
