Ivi\u0107: We were the best side on the pitch… While small details prevented us from claiming ma<\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span>ch\u2019s three points<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During the post-match evaluative press conference, Al Ain Club\u2019s head coach said the following statement: \u201cWe were in the lead in two occasions, 0-1 and 2-1, while our team was the best during match\u2019s first half. During match\u2019s second half, we continued to dictate the tempo of play and created more scoring attempts. We managed to score two goals after a successful group <\/span><\/span>effort;<\/span><\/span> we were also successful in reaching the danger zone more than once.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He added the following statement: \u201cAl Wahda Club has a great experience with which they knew how to leverage on the small details, they were also successful in scoring goals without relying on clear scoring attempts. After our powerful start in match\u2019s second half, we took the lead in score, we also played with numerical advantage after the red card for the competing team\u2019s player. We were also required to show more composure for the sake of scoring the third goal and securing match\u2019s final result.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Serbian head coach continued with the following statement: \u201cIn the realm of football, at any moment you give space to a distinguished player it could be exploited against you, and that’s exactly what happened in a particular occasion. A mistake is not the responsibility of a certain player, rather, it is a collective responsibility, which is the nature of this game.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over his evaluation of this season\u2019s progress, Al Ain Club\u2019s head coach explained with the following remarks: \u201cThe first half of this season was very important for me. We worked rigorously from the <\/span><\/span>beginning;<\/span><\/span> we were also successful in occupying the top position from this season\u2019s kick off. There are still many matches ahead of us, so we have to concentrate over each match alone, in addition to dealing with a positive mentality and with a high fighting spirit.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He concluded his speech with an emphasis over his confidence in his team, despite the close proximity of the competing teams on the tournament\u2019s standings table, so he said the following statement: \u201cI am not feeling worried as we are close to reaching our sought after goal, and we will keep fighting for the sake of realizing this goal until the end.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
