Ali Asad: Focus is our weapon to overcome Al-Gharafa

Al-Sadd star Ali Asad was full of confidence in his team’s ability to overcome Al-Gharafa in the quarter-final of the 2019 Amir’s Cup.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Ali said: “Cup matches are different from league matches. In the first phase, we drew 1-1 and in the Amir’s Cup, there are going to be surprises. So, we need to be focused and give our best. We look forward to ending the season with our second title and we will work to achieve that.”

Ali also went on to congratulate his teammates Akram Afif and Baghdad Bounedjah, and head coach Jesualdo Ferreira for winning the post-season awards.
