Leonardo Jardim: We lack the effectiveness on the striking side of football within our squad

Leonardo Jardim, who is the Portuguese head manager of Al Ain’s first football team, emphasized that his team was in lack of effectiveness on the striking side of football while taking on the previous matches vs Sharjah football club, Shabab Al Ahli football club, and Al Jazira football club, which is something that was obvious during the aforementioned matches. He also clarified that the competing team, today, was capable of transforming the only chance they had available in front of the net of Al Ain football club into the match’s winning goal. As for his squad, they had several available chances in front of the net of Al Jazira football club, but the squad was not capable of transforming those chances into goals.

In his response to the question over whether his team was in lack of the fighting spirit and the desire to claim victory, Leonardo Jardim said the following statement: “I do not think that Al Ain football club was in lack of the fighting spirit and the desire to claim victory, and the proof of this is that the team was the best on the pitch and was capable of creating several chances to score goals, but as I have already mentioned to you, we could not take advantage of those chances because we were in lack of effectiveness on the striking side of football.”
