Al-Breik: This is an excellent start to the season

Al-Sadd first team manager Abdullah Al-Breik praised the team’s performance in the 4-2 victory over Al-Duhail, which clinched the first trophy of the season for the Wolves.

Al-Breik said: “We are very happy with this big victory over Al-Duhail and the Super Cup title win. This is an excellent achievement and I want to praise the brilliant youngsters who succeeded in performing strongly and making up for the absence of regular players. This comes as a result of the hard work done over the recent period.”

The manager added: “We were keen to prepare the team for a start like this since the end of last season. This goes down to the efforts of the coaching staff, led by respected head coach Jesualdo Ferreira who worked to develop the team and the management provided stability for that. I hope the success continues to come in the remaining tournaments, which will be a huge challenge for us but we are capable of maintaining our level of performance and look for more titles, after this excellent start.”
