“We did well in the first half against Real Madrid and we were not lucky enough as we missed the chance to score in the early minutes by El Shahat and also a denied penalty kick that surely would have made the difference,” Zoran Mamic stated in the post final ClubWC match press conference.

He added: “Al Ain did unexpected things and qualified to the final match of the Club World Cup and the team’s did everything in terms of quality performance that led us to the final match. However, we did not have enough energy to play 4 tough matches with the same level of performance within 10 days.”

On the new offers to El Shahat and Caio Lucas, he said: “We need to keep these two stars for their high-quality skills and I believe it will be difficult to compensate them.”
