Expressed Cheerfulness Over Score vs Baniyas.. Hernán Crespo: Al-Ain Moves Along the Right Path in all Tournaments
I Decided to Withdraw Laba when Endured a Muscle Pain, and I Wish him to Return Very Soon
Josna Epifani Loulendo is an Up-and-Coming Player and his Efforts Deserve Praise and Appreciation
Hernán Crespo, the Argentine manager of Al-Ain, expressed deep cheerfulness over the important victory and magnificent performance of his squad vs their host Baniyas, explaining: “Our task was not easy vs a powerful competitor on their pitch in the light of great many chances we lost along the match, as well as continuously playing an official match every three days, but we managed, while the match was drawing to an end, to claim victory, even if the winning goal came late in the match.”
He went on: We are moving along the right path in all tournaments, from Pro Leage to President’s Cup, ADIB League Cup and AFC Champions League. We have manage to accomplish this because we have some distinguished players who are well aware of their affiliation to a big team, and they are required to compete for titles and trophies to the end, while we will not find an excuse for ourselves over the busy schedule of matches and we will deal with the current circumstances according to the strategy we adopt in the time being.
He went on: I wish to talk about the up-and-coming forward player Josna Epifani Loulendo, who worked very hard until he managed to transform his team’s efforts, with high confidence and great focus, to scoring the winning goal while the match was drawing to an end.
Answering a question on the injury of the squad’s forward Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba, whether he will be joining the squad vs Saudi Al-Nassr FC, he said: “The truth is that I decided to withdraw the Togolese forward because I did not wish to risk him being injured after he endured a muscle pain, while we must wait for medical reports, which the player is scheduled to undergo in the upcoming 24-48 hours. Afterwards, we will talk about the possibility of him joining the squad’s scheduled match in AFC Champions League, and I wish him being available until that time, since he is an important player in the squad’s list.”
