El Shahat Deserves to Join the Egypt’s National Team.. KIRKI: We Closed the Chapter of Ajman Match and We are Equipped Professional Mentality to Win the Emirates Team
Croatia’s Assistant Head Coach Damir Kriznar said that his team’s thrilling victory over Ajman by 7-0 was a good thing, but at the same time it might lead us to consider our next task against the Emirates Team an easy mission. He emphasized: “However, we are well equipped with the professional mentality because we are well aware that our next encounter will be difficult and winning this clash match needs to exhibit our true fighting spirit and the strong desire to achieve a great positive result.”
He pointed out: “Al Ain has seven important steps ahead prior the end of the current league. Each one of them represents a strong challenge for the team in their journey to win the title. Certainly, our next game against Emirates Team is the most important at the time being. Therefore, we have to win the match and snatch the three points.” He justified his testament by stating: “If we are planning to win the title, we have to deal with each match separately.”
“The team will miss the efforts of Omar Abdul Rahman because of suspension decision and his brother Mohammed Abdul Rahman “Ajab” as well for the accumulation of yellow cards. As for Bandar Al Ahbabi, it is not certain that he will play the next match. Ahmed Barman is still suffering from mild shoulder pain, but is still determined to participate in the confrontation against Emirates,” stated he in response on a question on the team’s absences.
Commenting on a question that not losing any match during the past rounds might exert pressure on the team in the coming matches, he said: “It is good to finish the league without losing any match and to have a record in the league, but we are not focusing on this issue. It is a good motivation for players to move ahead with achieving positive strong results, but we understand that the two teams behind us are trying to catch up with Al Ain and this is really the biggest motivation for us to do our best and go on with achieving victories.”
“I am not sure, but what I am sure of the he deserves to join Egypt’s national team,” he replied to a question on media reports stating that El Shahat will join his country’s national team. He added: “El Shahat since he joined Al Ain has played 5 matches scoring five goals with 5 assists. It is a good thing and will be more confident for today’s match, however, it is completely different match compared to Ajman’s and we will be playing against different team. I hope to maintain our high level of performance and the positive results as well.”
