In response to a question about the reactions to his statements before the home match, he said: “I think those who took such reactions did not read the full article instead they read the title only, as I mentioned in the rest of my statements that Al Hilal did not have the opportunity to play in Japan that’s why I did not know them well, However, Al Ain played in Japan in front of Nagoya Grampus so everyone in my country knows Al Ain.”
Considering the fans presence to support Al Hilal in today’s encounter, he said that: I have to assure you that Al Ain does not fear Al Hilal at their field and among their fans.
