The Romanian coach told the press after the Arabian Gulf League matchday 17 clash: “My players got used to the conditions as the match wore on, and we scored from a set-piece, and wasted lots of chances, but the most important thing is the win and the three points.”
The defending champions’ tactician concluded: “Diop was demoralized after missing the penalty, he’s a player with strong will, and ran a lot in the match, I’m satisfied with his performance and the fans’ presence despite the cold weather.”
