Hamed Ismail: We have a strong desire to win

Al-Sadd’s Hamed Ismail spoke about the importance of his side’s decisive second leg game against Al-Duhail in the AFC Champions League Round of 16.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Hamed said: “We weren’t able to win the first leg but the draw isn’t a bad result. We consider this tie a match of two halves. We are done with one half, and there’s another remaining which we need to win so that we can qualify for the quarterfinals.”

He added: “We know very well that it’s not an easy match but we have a strong desire to win. Both teams know each other very well, their weak and strong points. We will work to give our best and win the game.”
