Krunoslav added: We played a beautiful match against Al Dhafra, and we managed to qualify after a distinguished performance the team did in the match, and we are seeking to continue the victories against Fujairah, which is not at its best now, because victories always help to spread the positive atmosphere that the team is living now thanks to the good results we achieved in the recent period.

Krunoslav continued : Yesterday I had a meeting with the players and the technical staff, I told them that we are a real and professional team now, because when the team plays a difficult game away from home without its manager, and It delivers outstanding performance and wins, this shows how professional the players are and their knowledge of responsibilities.

Krunoslav continued : We strive to win against Fujairah to qualify for the semi-finals because we aspire to win this championship, What we care about now is that we have a strong team able to compete with the big teams in the Emirates, winning tournaments requires winning over all teams, including big ones.

Krunoslav ended : I commended Negredo at the beginning of my leadership of team, now I can not commend him further, Negredo is a great player and captain on and off the field, his presence with us is a great addition to the team, I wish him to continue giving and helping the team in the next phase.

On his turn, Hussein Mahdi, 1st team player said at the pre macth press conference : We have prepared well for the next match against Fujairah , which we are seeking to win in order to qualify for the semi-finals of the Arabian Gulf Cup.
