Ivan Jovanovic said the team had prepared for Al Ain in the second round of Arabian Gulf Cup, stressing that the match would be difficult for the two teams have won the first round of the Cup and seek to continue the victories.

"In the match against Al Ain, we have to excel physically and plan in order to win. We have to focus intensely throughout the 90 minutes to take possession of the ball and create many opportunities to reach the opponent's goal, which is what the team suffered during the confrontations against Ajman and the Emirates."

"The team suffers from the absence of many players, either because of injury or joining the national team, in addition to the regulations of the Cup, which forces us to engage players at a specific age, but I trust all the players and they have to fight the shirt of Al Nasr in order to win and continue to victories."

"I repeat that the new regulations for the Arabian Gulf Cup are useful for players and not for the club, which is an ideal opportunity for every player to participate in the starting line and I wish to leave it to the good player to impose himself with his diligence and brilliance on the list, which will have a better return and more continuous, I hope that everyone will support the young players and consider their lack of experience that could lead to mistakes like our player Hamad Hassan, who got two yellow cards in just 5 minutes. "

Jovanovic stressed that it was too early to judge the performance of the team, especially the foreign players. "Our focus now is entirely on bringing the new players together and seeking to provide enjoyable football that will delight the fans of the club. The starts of the tournaments, there are many factors that affect their harmony, the most important such as high temperature.

Saeed Suwaidan said: "The opportunity is open to all young players and they have to stick to it. I have done well in the Emirates game and I hope to continue the same performance in the next game.

"We are very grateful and appreciated for the club management and the technical staff for their full confidence and we promise to offer the best always, despite the absence of many stars due to injury, but we have a distinctive lineup of players who appreciate the importance and value of the Al Nasr and promise our fans that we will spare no effort to achieve the desired goals of the team this season.
