Portuguese Sharjah coach Jose Mourinho stated that his team's 0:2 loss to Bataeh in the postponed match of the 10th round of the ADNOC Pro League for football was a clear defeat. He pointed out that Sharjah did not deserve to win this match. Mourinho clarified during the post-match press conference that the problem was not limited to failing to score, but also included the defensive aspect, as the team conceded two goals. At the same time, he emphasized the need to focus on the future and work on correcting mistakes. "We appeared in this match at a level lower than what is needed to win," said the Sharjah coach, stressing the importance of focusing and working diligently in upcoming matches to get the team back on track. Mourinho added that the reason for the loss was not complacency, but the failure to deliver the required performance that would qualify the team for a win, confirming the need to continue working until Sharjah reaches a level that enables it to win future matches and compensate for this failure.
