Sharjah coach, Abdulaziz Al-Anbari said, "Sharjah has lost the incentive to compete and it has become difficult for it to maintain the shield of the Arab Gulf League, in light of the big difference with Al-Ahly's youth leaders." He confirmed during the press conference after the hard 1-1 draw with Hatta in Round 18 the day before yesterday: "Everyone was not good in the first half, but we came back better in the second." He pointed out that Sharjah is now focusing on being among the first four. He added, "Hatta is an organized and difficult team that performs well for all teams."

He stressed that they are benefiting from the positive things in such matches, noting that the Hatta page should be folded. Regarding the participation of Igor essentially for the first time after a long absence, he said: "Igor did not complain to the technical staff during his participation in the first half of any injury."

On the other hand, the Hatta coach, the Greek Contess, stressed that according to the course of the meeting, the result was not fair to them, after they advanced in the result for a long time. He continued in the press conference: "The only problem we face is the inability of the players to preserve the result, and therefore Sharjah has given us more space on the field."
