The international Al -Wahda player, Lucas Pimanta, described that the choice of Romanian coach Olario Cosmin to take over the training of the national team is the “best option”, because of the great experience of “Caesar” with the Emirati football, noting that the “article” coach, Portuguese Paulo Pinto, was also a good coach.
He told «Emirates Today»: “Very happy to choose coach Cosmin, he knows everything about Emirati football, and knows all the players and the ADNOC Professional League, and I think he is able to do something, because he is a great coach and an expert, and everyone respects him from players and coaches, and our goal is clear and is to reach the World Cup, and we will search for that in the next two rounds.”
He added: “Kozmin is a great coach, and former coach Pinto is also a good coach, but we are now in front of a new stage led by Cosmin, and we will search for our goal.”
Regarding the deterioration of the results of his team Al -Wahda during the recent period, Pimanta said: “Loss of six points in three games is not good for a team looking to participate in the AFC Champions League next season. But we lost points, and I am very sad, as this situation should not be the team. ”
Al-Wahda fell to the fourth place in the league with 37 points, late with a difference of goals from the third link, after it tied in the last three games against Al-Nasr 2-2, and Al-Wasl with the same result, and Arabism 1-1, respectively.
And on the reason for these results and those who bear the responsibility, he said: “The responsibility falls on all of us, players, coach and bench, the coach puts the plan and we are the one who implements it, and we must bear the responsibility all after these results, which cost us to lose six points in only three games, and now we must fight on the third place, and get it in any way, I do not know how, but we must get the third place qualified for the next season.”
He added: «We have five games, unlike the teams competing for us, and the largest number of points must be obtained in order to get the third place, let’s see what will happen in the upcoming matches. We know that there are mistakes in the team, but the defense line does not bear the responsibility for the deterioration of results in the recent period. ”
Pimanta played with Al -Wahda 18 games this season, during which he scored three goals, and was found in the last gathering of the national team for Iran and North Korea.
