Vladimir Ivić, who is the Serbian head coach of Al Ain first football team, emphasized that the important victory claimed by “The Boss” in today’s match vs Al Nasr Club by scoring three goals without any response, as the two teams played this evening match on the green pitch of Al Maktoum Stadium, during the first leg match of the semi finals round of competitions of Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup “ADIB”, is considered as a natural result and a prefect transformation of the team’s brilliant performance on the pitch. Al Ain Club’s head coach emphasized at the same time that the qualifying ticket still requires much work when the team plays the second leg match of the same round of competitions.
Through his statements during the post-match’s evaluative press conference, Ivić said the following statement: “We managed to deliver a good performance and created several clear scoring chances in the match’s first half, we were also capable of advancing with one or two goals before halftime. After the red card was shown in the face of Al Nasr Club’s international professional Serbian midfielder, Luka Milivojević, playing on the pitch became smoother for us, granting us much more comfort of movement and helped us in scoring three goals in the match’s second half. However, red cards do not necessarily mean that matters must become easy, sometimes they grant the competing team a greater motive to compensate for its loses and to show the fighting spirit, so we must always deal with our own mentality of play that had been established on the principle of claiming victory and the desire to deliver the powerful performance no matter what the circumstances are.”
Al Ain first football team Serbian head coach added the following statement: “We had several scoring chances to fortify the result, and we may have scored extra one or two goals, but such football matches require full concentration up to the final whistle. While qualifying cannot be decided in just 90 minutes, rather, it can only be decided after the elapse of full 180 minutes of play, so we have to show the same desire and rigorousness as we play the upcoming second leg match.”
The Serbian head coach of Al Ain first football team continued his remarks with an emphasis through the following statement: “We are well aware that our task is not yet over just because be managed to claim victory in the first leg match. Al Nasr Club is a powerful football team and they will be fighting to hang on tight to their chances of qualifying to the next round of competitions, so we have to be up to the highest degrees of concentration for the sake of decisively claiming the qualifying ticket to the final round of competitions.”
