The players have proven they can handle the pressure and are ready to fight until the very last moment. Facundo emphasized that the team has not yet secured its place in the tournament final, saying, "Regarding the second leg, we know full well that it will be different in nature and difficulty. Our goal is to compete for the title, but that requires a great deal of work in the coming days for the team to book its place in the final." Facundo also pointed out that the team is not focusing on just one tournament, confirming that the unity of goals in the dressing room gives the team the necessary balance. "We need to prepare with full concentration, enter the field believing in our ability to win, while showing great respect for our opponent," he added. Al-Wahda player Facundo Daniel confirmed that the victory over Al-Jazira holds great moral value for the team, noting that the encounter was by no means easy despite the "Al-Anabi"'s 3-0 win in the first leg of the Professional League Cup (Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup) the day before yesterday. Facundo stressed that the match required a huge effort and double concentration from the players. "I see the victory as an important step in our path this season, as it was by no means a simple matter. The team we faced put strong pressure on us, and we had to maintain our calm and organization on the field until the very end. I am fully satisfied with the performance we delivered and the team spirit that showed in the moments when we needed composure and a quick reaction," Facundo told "Al-Ittihad" newspaper. He added: "Matches like these reveal the team's character, and the way we handled the small details during the match was a key factor in achieving the result. We have ambitions in the league, we want to reach advanced stages in the AFC Elite Champions League, the same goes for the President's Cup and the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup. In every tournament we participate in, we want to show a strong performance. We were aware that any small mistake could cost us dearly, so everyone tried to follow the technical instructions and execute their roles precisely." We know the season is long, and it has many difficult moments, but the important thing is to maintain a winning mentality and benefit from every victory as a motivational boost to help us develop. Undoubtedly, the victory over Al-Jazira gives us confidence, but at the same time it reminds us that the road is still long and there is a lot more we have to offer. Facundo praised the support of the fans, noting that it had a clear impact on the team's performance during the match against Al-Jazira, saying: "The fans are always a motivating factor for us. The feeling that thousands of eyes are watching us and trusting us makes us give our all. Every match has its own special calculations and its own special atmosphere, and we must be in the highest state of mental and physical readiness. Every cheer and every chant gives us extra strength to continue fighting on the field, and we are grateful to them for their presence and continuous support." Facundo Daniel concluded his statements by saying: "We are at an important stage of the season, and I believe the team is moving in the right direction. There is still a lot of work ahead of us, but we have the determination, the desire, and the ability to achieve what we aspire to. We will continue to fight to make this season different and full of achievements for the Al-Wahda fans who always deserve the best. This club is used to big challenges, which is why we maintain the level of dedication and desire in every match."
