Roy Vitoria, head coach of Al Wasl FC, stated that he is currently concerned with the players who are with the club. The goalkeeper who played in the match against Ajman, Suhail Abdullah, had a good game, as did the players who played their first match, their performance was positive. Ultimately, these are decisions that concern the administration. Neither the coach nor the player is the most important, but the club and its culture are, and this is what we must preserve. Vitoria confirmed that the team is approaching an important match in another tournament, and the players, technical staff, administration, and fans are aware of its difficulty. "I know the Al Nasr team well because I worked there several years ago, and I believe that Al Nasr is currently one of the best teams in the Middle East, with very distinguished players," he said. "We will now start thinking about and preparing for this match. We know it will be a big challenge, but we will prepare as we always do against every opponent." He added: "We will fight strongly against a big team and distinguished players, and we must be in our best condition. We all know our fans will be present for that confrontation, which will give us great morale." Vitoria also referred to the big victory his team brought back from Ajman, saying: "My team played a very distinguished match, and I really appreciate what the players did. We executed what we needed in this match, which is to be fighters on the field first, then play when the opportunity arises. This is the foundation." He added: "When we achieve a victory, we must be happy, but at the same time, I did not like the goal we conceded in the Ajman match, although that is part of football. Overall, we were organized throughout the match, and the players committed to all the tasks required of them." The players presented a wonderful team effort, especially the young elements who trained with us and participated, some of whom played their first match and showed very good behavior on the field. This is a positive thing that reflects the quality of work within the team. This is the image of Al Wasl that we want, and it is the team's identity that we are working to strengthen for the future, in terms of commitment, fighting spirit, and ambition. Regarding the struggle for third place after Al Jazira widened the gap between them and Al Wasl to four points, Vitoria said: "I don't want to think about competitors before we solve our problems and develop ourselves. This is the main idea I want to convey. We cannot achieve our goals if we are not disciplined with ourselves first. The fighting spirit, courage, and ambition that we put on the field are the most important, and after that we can think about any competitor. We have matches against teams that compete with us, but the most important thing today is not the competitors, but our way inside the field is the basis."
