We are required to double up our efforts in order to improve the performance of the team’s ecosystem and our sought after goal is to claim victory on our upcoming match vs Al Jazeera
Leonardo Jardim, the Portuguese manager of Al Ain, emphasized that his team’s preparations to take on their upcoming match vs Al Jazeera are going very well, pointing our that their concentration during yesterday’s training session was limited to correcting all of the mistakes that were present during their match vs Ittihad Kalba.

In his comment on the continuity of the team’s mistakes on the defensive side of football within his team’s performance, he said: “Certainly, there are some defensive mistakes and we took several goals in our net, but despite that all of our players are working very hard to avoid the occurrence of these mistakes, in addition to that we are fully concentrating on bolstering our striking power, which is considered something important in order to strike the required balance.”
Over the individual mistakes which were the reason behind his team receiving the first goal in an important time of the match’s lifespan, he said: “Mistakes are an integral part of football as a game, as for Khalid Al Hashimi he is an important “international” player in the team’s ecosystem, while there is no player who relies on the occurrence of mistakes, so we have to support and have confidence in his capabilities, as well as the abilities of all of his teammates.”
Over his evaluation of the performance of AL Jazeera football team, he said: “Al Jazeera is a powerful team and competes to claim the first position on the standings table of ADNOC Pro League, the same as Sharjah and Shabab Al Ahli football clubs, but we are Al Ain and our sought after goal is clear which is to claim victory and to return with the match’s three points.”
Leonardo Jardim concluded his speech by saying: “My message to the fans of Al Ain football club will always be to tell them that we are working with diligence and commitment and we are taking on one match every three or four days, but the team’s collective performance is notably improving and we have clearly improved on the striking side of football, but we are required to work hard in order to improve our performance on the defensive side of football and to improve the team’s ecosystem.”
