We Will Fight Till The End.. Hernán Crespo: I Will Not Demand Al-Ain Players to Put an End to Their Cheefulness over Qualifying to The Final Match of AFC Champions League For Several Reasons
Hernán Crespo, the Argentine manager of Al-Ain FC, asserted that his team needs to rest and recover in order to restore the needed power to be able to continue their journey all along different football tournaments, explaining: “We are required at the moment to check on the players’ current status, those players who joined the team’s ranks all along Tuesday’s match vs Saudi Al-Hilal at AFC Champions League football tournament, so we can decide if they are up to the needed degree of readiness or not, then we can make our decision because we do not have enough time space to prepare for our next match vs Shabab Al-Ahli, we are also well aware that this is the case with the tournament’s fixtures, so we have to adapt to this case.”
On his evaluation of his team who managed to qualify to the final match of AFC Champions League football tournament and still competing to claim the local tournaments, he said: “Tournaments’ fixtures at the current season imposed on us the need to think with the mentality of “step by step,” while our concentration is focused on reaching the farthest stage at all football tournaments we are participating in, but reality asserts that we have managed to reach the final match of two football tournaments, the local football tournament of “ADIB Cup” and the continental football tournament of “AFC Champion League.” We are, at the same time, required to respect Pro League tournament by showing the rivalry spirit until the end.”
On the work he will do to assist his players in overcoming the cheerfulness over qualifying the final match of AFC champion League, he said: “In my opinion, Al-Ain players do not need to forget all the suspense and cheerfulness they went through on Tuesday’s evening, but exactly on the contrary, I want them to remember the sacrifice and seriousness, and to feel the responsibility to double their efforts, so we can have the capability to compete and achieve our sought after goals.”
