Al-Nassr coach, Dutchman Alfred Schroeder, expressed his disappointment at his players’ loss of victory in today’s match against Al-Wasl, which ended with the latter winning 3-1 in the third round of the Professional League.
“I hope I don’t see the victory that appeared in the second half against Al Wasl again,” Schroeder said in a press conference after the match. “We played in a way that was not what we are used to. We were sending long balls forward randomly, and we missed the most important feature that we used to play with, which is preparing from the back areas. I warned the players more than once, and I told them that they must be brave and play in their usual way.”
“My team was excellent in the first half. We created a chance to score and we could have scored the second goal from a chance by Ali Mabkhout, which Al Wasl’s goalkeeper intervened to prevent us from being completely alone in front of his goal. Even before Al Wasl scored the equaliser, we missed another chance to score. We let the result slip away from our hands and this is a fact that we must admit, but we must continue working and we must not be discouraged by the loss,” he added.
