Stressed that He is Confident of the Ainawis’ Substantial Support of the Boss Squad.. Rebrov: Sights Are All Set for the Team’s Match Against Ittihad Kalba After Closing the Chapter of Al Jazira Match
“We have already closed the chapter of our recent clash match against Al Jazira Team, and sights are all set to play matchweek 17 against Ittihad Kalba,” Sergiy Rebrov stated in the pre-match press conference of the away matchweek 17 of ADNOC Pro League against Ittihad Kalba.
The head coach of the Boss squad added: “Next confrontation is a match of important three points. This is why we must think about how we will snatch our fifth victory in a row in the league. This could be achieved only by preparing seriously, considering that we are playing against a strong opponent and is placed in the middle of the standing table. They enjoy good potentials in the front line and score within the box.”
As for the aspiration of the home team to win Al Ain Team, he said: “All opponents fight fiercely when they play against Al Ain Team.”
He added: “We are all well aware that the opponent would fight to win Al Ain taking advantage of playing at home among their fans. However, I always explain to my players and in press conferences that we must only focus on our team’s affairs and analyze our opponent’s performance.”
Rebrov stressed that all that will not be helpful and will only result in winning against the opponent if the team players show their genuine potential and skills on the pitch.
He also stated: “We must focus on the players’ recovery following the great efforts they exerted in our recent match against Al Jazira and shift our focus to the team’s away match against Kalba. It is a match of three points as any other match of the league.”
He again accented that the team would only be able to snatch the three points if the players showed their genuine potential and skills on the pitch.
Rebrov said: “The team is in good condition right now, given that certain injured players rejoined the squad following their recovery. Moreover, in our recent match against Al Jazira, the bench players improved the team’s performance, namely Yahiya Nader and Matías Palacios. It was their first match after they did not play for a long time for being injured. Absolutely, the team’s strength will be doubled when the players suffer an injury requiring long-term treatment.”
Commenting on the team’s performance, Rebrov indicated that the recent match was tough, but his squad deserved to win the guests.
“I know everyone is happy about winning the last match, but this is our life. So we should close the chapter of the past season and even the recent match and focus on the next match,” he said.
Responding to a question about the players expected not to play the next match, he commented: “Certain players are suffering from minor injuries after the team’s match against Al Jazira, and they have joined a recovery program. Therefore, I wish to see all the players in form, especially players who played the last match, given that certain players suffer from injuries that need long-term treatment and sure they will not play any coming match.”
Rebrov expressed his deep pleasure with the fans’ substantial support saying that it is no wonder to see the loyal fans behind the team despite the far away distances of specific stadiums.
He commented that they attend in high numbers in specific matches, and sometimes they are a few, but “I am sure that after the great result of the team’s match against Al Jazira, we will see more fans come to the stadium to be behind the team.”
Sergiy Rebrov signed off by saying: “I am sure it will be an exciting match, and I invite them to be present in Ittihad Kalba Club Stadium to support the players. I am always saying that we all feel stronger when we play for them.”
