Regarding the comment from Bani Yas coach that luck was on Al-Jazira's side, Busić explained that he understands the coach's feeling that the match did not go as expected, pointing out that his team was in control and the best throughout the game, with the opponent threatening Al-Jazira's goal only around the 80th minute. He confirmed that the course of the match and the chances his team created clearly show its superiority in terms of performance, which reflects the quality of the team. Al-Jazira coach Marino Busić revealed that Egyptian player Ibrahim Adel requested the club to allow him to turn professional in Europe, stating that "the pride of Abu Dhabi" will not stand in his way. "Emirates Today" learned that the international player has reached an agreement to join Danish club Nordsjælland during the current transfer window, with Busić commenting: "Adel is an important player, and he has had the desire for a long time to turn professional in Europe, and we will not stand in his way." As for the possible departure of Congolese Simon Banza, Busić said: "Indeed, there is interest from one European club to sign him, but I hope he continues with the team, and we will see what happens in the coming days." He also spoke about Al-Jazira's qualification for the semi-finals, saying: "We had clear control over the match until around the 80th minute, before the opponent got his first chance after 80 minutes," while praising his players' ability to play good football, pointing out that the team took the lead with a goal and had several chances to score a second goal. Busić added that football is characterized by uncertainty, and the absence of a second goal keeps the match open, explaining that the opponent used the final minutes for intensive attacks and scored an equalizer from a corner kick.
