He said: “We face some challenges as we missed some key players like Riquelme, but we are looking for solutions in an effort to achieve victory and qualify for the next stage. We play good football, with ambition and passion, and work on creating chances and scoring goals to win”
Our player Luka Milivojevic confirmed his full respect for Sharjah Club as a strong opponent, indicating that they are ready for the match despite the challenges, hoping that the team will receive great support from the fans.
He said: “One of the strange things in my football career is that I face the same team in five consecutive matches, within one month, but on the other hand, we will do our best and see what happens at the end of this month. We need to take each match separately, to achieve what is required.”
