DOHA : Al Wakrah coach Vicente Moreno said his side are fully prepared for their Doha Bank Stars League clash against Al Shahaniya on Thursday, expressing hope that fortune will favour them at Saud Bin Abdul Rahman Stadium.
Moreno described the match as a difficult challenge, noting that Al Shahaniya possess quality players and are led by a capable coach. Despite that, the Spanish coach said he had complete confidence in his own squad.
“I trust my players completely,” Moreno said. “For me, they are the best players in the league.”
Al Wakrah will be boosted by the return of Egyptian midfielder Hamdi Fathi, while striker Dala will remain sidelined with injury.
Spanish forward Luis Alberto also voiced confidence in Al Wakrah’s ability to secure victory.
Speaking about his recent move from Al Duhail during the winter transfer window, Alberto said he quickly settled into his new surroundings.
“After two or three days with the team, I began to understand my teammates better and they understood me,” he said. “We will keep working hard to finish the season in the highest possible position possible.”
