«We will not give up and we aim to deliver a good performance and achieve a positive result,» he said. He added: «We, the technical staff, are working to correct issues, regroup the team, and restore unity.» He continued: «We apologize to the Sharjah fans for the performance and the unexpected result against Bani Yas.».Sharjah lost to Bani Yas 1-4. The team currently sits in 11th place in the league standings with seven points. In the AFC Champions League, they have played four matches: one win against Qatar's Al-Gharafah, one draw with Al-Sadd, and two losses against Iran's Tractor and Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad.Sharjah, the champions of the last edition of the AFC Champions League Elite, is temporarily shifting focus from the league. The team's delegation is traveling to Saudi Arabia today to prepare for tomorrow's match against Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli, the current Asian champions.Namr explained that some players returning from national team duty were not ready for the match against Bani Yas, which took place two days ago. He said he preferred not to risk them, as they had played nearly 100 minutes for the national team against Iraq just 48 hours prior, increasing their risk of injury.Namr also addressed the psychological aspect, stating: «Even the psychological side needs time. The team has been suffering from negative results for a long time, and we are doing our best to improve the situation.»He concluded: «The past period was difficult for the team in the league and other competitions, even in the Asian tournament, especially with the lack of stability, consecutive losses, and poor performance. Perhaps for this reason, the club's management decided to change the technical staff in hopes of a change, but that won't happen overnight.».Amid an atmosphere of anxiety among Sharjah fans following the heavy defeat to Bani Yas, Sharjah's coach, Abdelmajid Al-Namr, tried to instill a sense of calm, assuring the «King's» supporters that the team stands at a crucial turning point before the anticipated match against Al-Ahli in the AFC Champions League Elite.Al-Namr, who took charge of the team just three days ago, emphasized that the short timeframe does not allow for radical changes, but he pledged to fight and present a better image in the upcoming «Asian challenge.» He urged the fans to give the technical staff and players more patience, pointing out that Sharjah has the quality and the weapons to face Al-Ahli.As he told «Emarat Al Youm», Namr said: «After the Bani Yas match, we only had two days to prepare the team for the match against Al-Ahli, the champions of the last edition of the AFC Champions League Elite.»
