A member of Sharjah Football Club, first-team supervisor Abdulmajid Al-Namr, emphasized the importance of the match that Sharjah will play tomorrow against Shabab Al-Ahli in the Super Cup, describing the match as "the beginning of a new start for Sharjah." He expressed hope that the team's squad will be strengthened by the return of some injured players, and affirmed his great confidence in the team's players to deliver a strong performance, judging by the high technical level the team showed in their last match against Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia in the AFC Elite League for Clubs, despite the 1-0 loss. Al-Namr said to "Al-Ittihad" in response to a question about the possibility of Sharjah winning the Super Cup and compensating their fans for the decline in results in the recent period: "The Super Cup is a one-match tournament, so the chances of both teams are equal at 50%, and the team that is better prepared and more focused will have the greater chance of winning." Sharjah continues its intensive preparations under the leadership of Portuguese coach José Moraes to face Shabab Al-Ahli, as the team seeks to restore the winning rhythm that has been absent in the recent period. Sharjah's last victory over Saudi Al-Ahli was achieved away with a single goal scored by player Ousmane Camara, in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League for Clubs, while the team's last victory in local competitions was against Al-Dhafra 2-0 in the sixth round of the ADNOC Pro League. Abdulmajid Al-Namr, who currently also holds the position of head of the Sharjah technical committee, led the team to an important victory over Saudi Al-Ahli at their home with a 1-0 goal scored by player Ousmane Camara, in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League for Clubs. Regarding what Sharjah lacked in their last match with Al-Hilal, which ended with the latter's 1-0 victory in the sixth round of the AFC Elite League for Clubs, Al-Namr said: "Sharjah played a good match against Al-Hilal, but it lacked finishing the attacks, after having many opportunities and reaching Al-Hilal's goal more than once without being able to score. And although Al-Hilal also played in the absence of a number of its key players, it has players at a high level, as the second-string players are no less than the first-string." Abdulmajid Al-Namr, who had previously coached Sharjah team on an interim basis after the departure of former Serbian coach Milosh, added: "I took over the task of coaching Sharjah on an interim basis and handed over all matters related to the team, especially regarding the players and their capabilities, to the new coach, Portuguese José Moraes."
