Vladimir Ivić, who is the Serbian head coach of Al Ain first football team, emphasized that his team managed to deliver a brilliant performance with which they deserved to claim victory and the match’s three points vs Al Wasl Club. However, today’s match was over with a positive draw with one goal for each team (1-1), which was played on the pitch of Dubai’s Zabeel Stadium and through the third round of competitions of ADNOC Pro League football tournament.

During the post-match evaluative press conference, Vladimir Ivić, who is the Serbian head coach of Al Ain first football team, said the following statement:“I congratulate my team players over the brilliant performance they delivered. Today, we played as a big team, so we managed to dominate the match’s playtime from the first whistle, we were also the team who enjoyed the greater share of ball’s possession and created the majority of scoring chances. Through the match’s second half we received one early goal from approximately nothing, but we managed to quickly return to the match’s atmospheres, so we pushed hard and managed to score the equalizer by Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba. We continued to dominate the match and created decisive scoring chances by Palacios, Traoré, and Laba.”

The head coach of Al Ain first football team added the following statement: “Honestly speaking, the team who deserved to claim victory in this match was Al Ain club. Today’s match came in a difficult time for us, as four of our players came back after participating with their national football teams only two days before today’s match, besides the absent players due to injury, even though our players showed up with a great commitment and high spirits.”

Al Ain Club’s Serbian head coach concluded his speech by saying the following statement: “Now, we need to keep concentrating on our daily work, as well as to prepare very well to take on our upcoming matche, in which we will play vs Khor Fakkan Club, and it will not be an easy match.”
