Al-Sadd’s Iranian international defender Morteza Pouraliganji has stressed on the importance of his side’s upcoming QNB Stars League Round 18 game against Al-Ahli.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Pouraliganji said: “It is an important game for us. We need to fight in all the remaining games, which are like finals for us, so that we can stay in the title race.”

He went on: “This will be a tough game, especially as we know that the next game against Al-Duhail will be the toughest and most decisive. I will work hard with the rest of my teammates to get the win.”

Pouraliganji concluded by saying: “I thank Allah for what I have achieved with Al-Sadd. I also want to thank the coach for the experience I have benefited from. This is not just for me, but for all the players. I will work towards improving my performance. There are many important players in defence and we always work as one group.”
