Al Ain's striker Laba Kodjo commented on his recent performance, stating that after his illness, he was able to focus on the goals he scored. In continental competition, Al Ain is preparing for a match against Iraqi Zakho, scheduled for tomorrow at 18:30 as part of the fourth round of the Gulf Champions League. Al Ain currently sits second in the group with six points (two wins, one loss), while Zakho leads with seven points (two wins, one draw). After a crucial 2-0 victory over Al-Ittihad, striker Laba Kodjo, who scored both goals, emphasized that the mental state played a decisive role in the win. He quoted a famous phrase from Saudi Al-Nasr: 'Every victory begins in the mind.' Kodjo also admitted he could have scored more than five goals, but in football, that's how it goes: you miss a chance from 10 meters and score from 50. He stressed that his primary goal is to help the team, not to break records.
