In his remarks during the evaluative press conference that took place after the match was over, Leonardo Jardim said the following: “We had full dominance over most of the match’s lifespan, especially during the match’s first half, then it was clear that we imposed our style of play during the match’s second half. As for Shabab Al Ahli football club, they performed very well for only twenty minutes, while we were better than them on the pitch.”
Leonardo Jardim pointed out that his team wasted a penalty kick in a timing that could be described as decisive, then he added by saying the following: “It is not easy to talk about the team’s performance after being defeated, but we performed our best and created several chances in front of the competing team’s net, but in the end the final result was not on our side.”
Over the team’s striking performance during their most recent matches, Leonardo Jardim said the following: “During the last two matches within the competition rounds of the local Pro League tournament we showed up a very excellent performance and created many chances in front of the competing team’s net, but we were in great need of the final touch. But the excellent performance of the competing team’s goalkeeper played an important role in preventing us from scoring any goal.”
The Portuguese manager praised the mentality of the team player by saying the following: “What is important for me now is the performance of my team players today. They showed up a distinguished performance and a highly competitive spirit. So, this is the positive mentality which we will keep working accordingly in order to realize our sought after goals in our upcoming matches.”
Leonardo Jardim concluded his speech by emphasizing on his confidence in his team by saying the following: “I cannot blame any player because they have performed their best. So, with this mentality I am totally confident in our ability to realize our sought after goals in the future.”
