Milan Milush, the head coach of Al-Wasl, stated that his team performed a great match and deserved the victory over Shabab Al-Ahli with a score of 2:1 in the match of the 23rd round of the Professional League yesterday. The coach emphasized that the players managed to cope with the high pressure, and that the victory was due to two reasons. The first - the performance against Al-Wasl in the match of the "Derby" against Shabab Al-Ahli, and the second - the team's striving for third place, which required securing three points.
Al-Wasl was brave to end Shabab Al-Ahli's first undefeated streak, which previously lasted three matches this season in the Supercup OAD, the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup, and in the first round of the League. This match was particularly significant as it was related to Shabab Al-Ahli's finishing title in the League, if they were to qualify.
Milush shared his opinion with the newspaper Emirates Today: "The victory was very important for the players and fans after the team's return to its normal level and earned 23 points in the second part of the season. I believe that we did not cope with the League this season in the necessary manner, the situation is similar to the team Shardja in the last season, when the team drew in seven matches, the same number of draws as Al-Wasl has in the current season.
He added: "The League requires a lot of work and players participating in several tournaments, and right now we need to concentrate only on the next three matches to achieve the main goal - to secure third place, which allows participation in Asia."
