Al Ain coach, Ivan Lecco, said: "The way to be in the starting lineup is determined by the player's tender only in training sessions and what he offers during his participation in the official matches, noting that he does not care about the salary and the type of cars. And that does not raise the value of a player as much as giving on the field training and games.
Lecco stressed that the «leader» appeared poorly against Al Nasr, despite winning in the fourth round of the Arabian Gulf Cup yesterday 3-1. Al Ain boosted their chances to reach the quarter-finals after reaching the seventh point of three games in Group A, while Al Nasr's chances were reduced by only four points from four games. "We performed poorly in an easy game," he told the news conference. “I have 27 players, 11 of whom will pay them on the green rectangle,” he said. “Every minute they spend during training sessions and matches they have to look for a chance to play. It doesn't matter how much they get. "And the type of their cars, the most important is the tender to reserve a site in the list of my options." Ivan Lecco confirmed that his team performed the worst performance in a very easy game, said: «We did not take advantage of the lack of numerical in the ranks of victory, and we missed the ball easily, and yet we achieved a good win, and I can not fail to pay tribute to goalkeeper Mohamed Said Bousenda who faced offensive attempts achieved, in In the match against Sharjah, we showed a strong performance in a difficult game but we lost the result, and we must congratulate the team to win because the main goal in any confrontation is to win the three points, and secondly to improve performance from one game to another ».
When asked about his opinion on the performance of the players returning from injury, he said: «Cayo made a great performance and was one of the best three players in the game, he is a player with a strong spirit of leadership and has a great mentality and a high fighting spirit, and for Mohammed Ahmed has shown a good level compared to his distance from "For nine months it is a very long and difficult period, but the player needs to play four to five games in order to regain his level." He added: «I believe that Mohamed Said Bousenda gave a wonderful performance, and a personal performance was evaluated by 10 to 10, and Mohammed Khalfan also showed a good level and possesses a high technical skill and demands to redouble efforts in order to follow the development, while Jamal Maarouf is a very high artistic value, On the numbers and statistics, comes second after Caillou Canido in the registry ».
Versailles: We were denied a right goal
"The goal scored by his team at the beginning of the game, and the referee Ahmad Khalfan canceled it for offside, despite his health, was the turning point in the meeting," Dutch coach Jan Verslein said at the press conference. "We entered the game and we are determined to win, to restore confidence in ourselves." "After the negative results, we had a good start, because we came forward with a goal, but we were deprived of it despite its validity."
He added: «In my estimation of the goal was correct, and if not canceled things would be very different, because we would play on the areas in the line of defense Al Ain, but the red card obtained by our Brazilian player Glauber before the end of the first half, made it difficult for us to return to the game again, "Although we narrowed the gap before the end of the game."
Al Nasr's chances of securing a place in the quarter-finals of the trophy diminished after the loss, while Al Ain strengthened their position in Group A with point seven.
