The coach applies a marvelous tactical style Individual errors shall be borne by the back line

Bandar Al-Ahbabi, Al-Ain Captain, emphasized that “Al Zaaeem” is ready for the second round match of ADNOC Pro League scheduled to be held against Hatta next Saturday evening, stating that: “We’re well aware that there is no easy football match and we respect all opponents and look forward to please Al-Ain fans which is considered a major pillar in our structure whether we play home or away matches”.

Commenting on the positive influence made by his team’s triumph in the first round, he said: “I think that a single, double, five or even ten wins in the League will not make any difference or shall mean that we’re the champions, so we must deal with each match individually and our last match is over and we closed its page after performance was analyzed and errors were defined to be corrected”.

Of course, the positive atmosphere of the whole team is enhanced after the win but the three points, as I told you, are the most crucial issue along with working to continue in our victorious path and we’re mainly focused on our upcoming match against Hatta and beg Allah to bestow us success and good luck to achieve our targets and please our audience”, he added.

Replying to a question regarding the players’ compatibility with the new training style adopted by the coach, Alfred Schreuder, he said: “Actually, the new training style enhances the team’s strength on the pitch, and frankly speaking, we learned a lot from our coach, Alfred Schreuder, but there are still some missing details that we should apply more accurately and of course it is not so hard, we need just more time.”

He continued: “In our last match against Baniyas, we received two goals but they actually have nothing to do with tactic, rather they are relevant to focusing on our assigned targets as a defense, however, the second goal was scored by a set piece and resulted from the poor coverage made by the back line players”.

“We expect a massive attendance of our fans in Hatta as usual both in home and away matches, because Al-Ain fans are one of the most important pillars of the structure of the team as I said before.”
