Mahdi Ali explained that the Super match is very important for Shabab Alahli, stressing that every effort will be made within ninety minutes to achieve the set goal, adding that their preparations for the match went well and that they worked hard to prepare the team for super cup.

Mahdi Ali said: “The two teams have same chances; it is fifty fifty for both sides. We hope that we will present together a good match that satisfies the fans, and whatever the outcome is in the end, the loser will congratulate the winner.”

He added: “There is a big difference between playing the Super at the beginning or middle of the season, the rhythm will be higher because the teams played many matches.
