Portuguese coach: We have all the elements to win. We are better than Sharjah in our recent matches. Portuguese coach Paulo Sousa will be under pressure, especially as he is tasked with improving the image of the 'Knights' team after their exit from the League Cup and two heavy defeats in the AFC Champions League Elite Round against the Qatari Al-Duhail 1-4 and Al-Sadd 2-4. Paulo Sousa confirmed before the match that the goal at Al Ahli Youth is to reach the podium. He said: 'I came to Al Ahli Youth to win titles. I am happy with my team, which has a vision and the ambition to always win. We have full confidence in ourselves, in our style of play, and in our outstanding players who execute all instructions and seek to develop themselves. We operate like a family.'
