Jafal: QSL or QatarGas League – which should be delayed?
05 Nov 2015
​Jafal Rashed, deputy head of football at Al-Sadd, spoke of his great confidence in the Al-Sadd players ahead of their upcoming match against Al-Gharafa in Round 8 of the Qatar Stars League, which will kick off at 6:30 PM on Friday at the Thani bin Jassim Stadium.
The former Al-Sadd captain said that any player who wears the jersey of Al-Sadd will be confident and will have the ability to help the team to victory. He added: “We have great trust in the ability of our players to get the win over Al-Gharafa which will be of help in our campaign.”
Speaking to the club website, Jafal went on to say: “Everyone at Al-Sadd Club are in a state of surprise at the call up of the six players to practice and play friendlies with the Olympic team.” He asked: “Is it more important to postpone the QatarGas League match or the match against Gharafa in the QSL when six players are absent?”
The deputy head added: “We do not look for excuses; Al-Sadd has gone through tougher phases and this is our fate, especially as we are the prime supporter of the national teams, which is a great honour for us. We are confident in the ability of the players who are currently with the team. But we ask: Why not postpone the league matches in light of the needs of the Olympic team if Al-Sadd is the only club affected in this round?”
Jafal concluded his talk by saying: “Al-Sadd can perform well and achieve the win and the players have a great responsibility to give their best.”
