Ivić: We are prepared to play vs Tractor Club.. While our sought after goal is to claim match’s three points

I am feeling happy with my team’s lineups and what we have accomplished the past season was extraordinary… Soufiane is the only absent from tomorrow’s match

I do not think that the football confederation is not capable to implement that automatic offside technology

Vladimir Ivić, who is the Serbian head coach of Al Ain first football team, emphasized over the readiness if his team to face Tractor S.C., during the third round of competitions of the group round through the AFC Champions League Elite football tournament, he also emphasized over respecting the competing team and his player’s desire to return to the path of triumphs.

 During the introductory press conference for Al Ain Club’s upcoming match, Vladimir Ivić, who is the Serbian head coach of Al Ain Club, said the following statement: “We respect Tractor S.C. And we are well aware that they are the best team in their country. We have completed our preparations and the players are ready, they are also have great motivations to return to the path of triumphs. We have to do our best for the sake of claiming match three points, while we are well aware that the match will not be easy.”

Al Ain Club’s head coach emphasized that all of his players who participate in the most recent matches are available for the match, except for SoufianeRahimi, who is the international Moroccan forward player for Al Ain Club.

Over the depth of the team’s lineup and the bench of substitutes options in light of the number of tournaments, so he explained the following statement: “I am feeling happy with my team’s lineups, they are the players who delivered most of the good things. We have invested too much in the football academy and we are working hard to elevate the young players, but there is a huge deference between football in the age categories and competitions on the level of the first football team, we also cannot expect immediate results from them, as they only need time.”

Al Ain Club’s player added the following statement: “What we have delivered during the past season was similar to magic, especially with the elevation of two or three players from the youth category and their participation among the first lineups and accomplishing exceptional results. But this have become from the past, while this season is different. Even in the big European football teams, only one player from each generation reaching the first football team is considered a big success, and if two players managed to succeed this is considered a full success.”

Regarding the two defeats vs Shabab Al Ahli Club, he said the following statement: “It is true that we have lost two matches, but we have to consider what we have accomplished during the last match, and how we managed to return despite playing with ten players. Being kicked out of the President’s Cup football tournament was painful to everyone, especially that we have been crowned with the title during the past season, while the final match during this season will be played on our pitch, but we are professionals and we have to bypass what happened and concentrate over our next sought after goal.”

The Serbian head coach addressed the refereeing decisions during the past match, where he expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty kick and the decision to cancel the goal on the pretext of offside, so he said the following statement: “I do not believe that the United Arab Emirates is facing a problem in implementing the technology of automatic offside, which is used in many countries, while we still rely on moving offside lines manually via VAR referees.”
