About Riyadh Crescent qualifying from the Club World Cup group stage and reaching the quarterfinals
We have performed well in the last three games and we have to continue to do so. Riyadh Crescent is playing football as a team while we control the ball as long as possible. So far, the results we have been getting are very good. I said from the beginning of the Club World Cup that we want to enter the knockout stage, and we did it.
About the injuries of the players on the team
Everyone knows how important Al Dosari to us in the game, but unfortunately he was injured and would not be able to play tomorrow, and Mitrovic would not be able to play tomorrow. We will try to find a solution for their absence.
Some people think that after you coach the Riyadh New Moon, you have had a huge impact on the team in a short period of time. I really didn't expect such an impact, but since I joined the team, I have been full of confidence in the team.
About my own changes to the Riyadh Crescent
The team I coached before always defended with 3 players. In the Riyadh Crescent, I started with four defensive players. We will determine the right roster for the team to play tomorrow after today’s training, I’m still evaluating the tactics I’m going to use in the game, we have a last training session and I’ll make a decision after that.
Praise our forward Al Dosari
Al Dosari was a wonderful surprise for me because I watched many games in the Riyadh Crescent before, I saw Dosari's performance, I know the level of all the players in the team, Dosari is always devoted in training and playing, and he is always trying to improve himself.
About myself going to play Guardiola in tomorrow's game
Facing Guardiola is a motivation for me, he introduced a new philosophy of football, and I think he is the best coach we have ever seen in the past two decades.
About tomorrow's game, Manchester City has many fans around the world. They have good ball control skills. They are the best team in the world. We will try our best to play against them.
