Vladimir Ivić, who is the Serbian head coach of Al Ain first football team, emphasized that his team’s upcoming match vs Baniyas Club, which is scheduled to take place during the sixth round of competitions of ADNOC Pro League football tournament, will not be easy. He also pointed out that the competing team will show up with a different style of play after the end of the most recent stoppage period.

During the pre-match introductory press conference, the Serbian head coach of Al Ain Club said the following statement: “We will be playing vs a different football team after the end of the most recent stoppage period, taking into consideration that Baniyas Club has changed their head coach and took advantage of a period of two weeks of hard and intensive work, so we expect to play a powerful match, which requires high concentration and great efforts from the match’s kick off to the match’s final whistle. While our sought after goal is clear in every match we play, which is to: Claim victory, but we are well aware that the path of triumphs will not be easy, as I have already mentioned to you.”

Al Ain Club’s head coach added the following statement:“Several players joined the ranks of our team during the past few days, we are also working seriously to reach the full state of readiness all along the remaining rounds of competition of this season, especially this upcoming important match. We have to be 100% ready, we also have to assume the positive mentality from the match’s first minute until the final whistle.”

During his speech over the return of the Moroccan international forward player, Soufiane Rahimi, after his prolonged absence, ivić said the following statement:“Soufiane participated with us during the team’s training sessions all along the past two weeks and he will be ready.Later, we will decide whether he will be on the team’s starting lineups and play from the match’s kick off or if he will be available on the substitutes benches. His return to play along side Al Chadili represents a powerful addition to the team’s lineups, I also believe that the Boss has become more powerful and up to the highest states of readiness.”

The Serbian head coach also came to talk about his team’s taking advantage of the most recent stoppage period, so he said the following statement: “We took advantage as best as we can of the stoppage period by working with all players, we have also granted the opportunity to a group of players who belong to the U23 team. Some of them proved their deservedness to play, such as Amadou Saidou Niang, who also joined us during a previous stoppage period and continued to grow and improve his performance. I also love to work with the young players, I am also keen to improve their performance on a daily basis and grant them the opportunity to compete over a position on the starting lineups, even though playing for a team that is competing to claim the top position in every tournament is not easy.”

Vladimir Ivić concluded his speech by expressing his immense appreciation to the coaching staff and the team’s players after he claimed the Head Coach of the Month Award for the second consecutive time, so he said the following statement: “This award is not for me alone, rather, it represents the great appreciation for everyone working with me. Our team players are the first reason behind this success, as well as the distinguished coaching staff who is working here with the spirit of one team. Without them all, I would have never been able to claim this award.”
