“I am really happy to see a team like this. Everyone is united and motivated you don’t even know who is who they joke and play with every body, despite being older than them. Theyhave shown me respect and listened to me. We always do what the coach asks us to do. We are here to do our job not on a holiday.” He said, “the upcoming game is very important as it will determine our fate in the qualification round. We are well prepared for the game and ready to make sure we get the three points, at home and by the help of God, we will capitalise in our chances. We have played Algeria and we lost to them by 1-0. We will win the game by the help of God,” he said. We beat them at home by 2-1 but that’s the past, we have to concentrate on this game.” He said that Algeria are not a small team. “We have shown them respect and I know they too have done the same so it is not going to be an easy game at all but we are ready to play and by the help of God we will collect the three points.”

We are very happy with the fans turning out and the support they gave us during our last game. They supported until the last minute of the game and we hope that they will repeat that action in return we promise them that we will do something.”
