Former Al-Qadisiyah football team manager Mohammed Al-Dalaan urged the team's players to focus and avoid rushing into tomorrow's (Sunday) Al-Ettifaq match, which is part of the 27th round of the Saudi Roshan League.
Al-Dalaan told Okaz: “The Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Qadisiyah match will be difficult for both teams, especially given the intense rivalry between them as they are from the same region. Al-Qadisiyah wants to win the match and continue the consecutive victories the team has achieved since the arrival of Irish coach Brendan Rodgers, who is doing a great job with the Al-Qadisiyah team, as attested by all Al-Qadisiyah fans. As for the Al-Ettifaq team, it will strive strongly to win the match and compensate for its previous loss to Al-Qadisiyah about a month ago, which it lost by four goals that were not expected. Its players will enter the match to gain the three points and restore the prestige of the Al-Ettifaq team again under the leadership of the national coach Saad Al-Shehri, who will strive to make his team appear differently in the match against Al-Qadisiyah.”.
Al-Dalaan hoped that the match would be distinguished and worthy of the Eastern Province derby, especially since both teams have high-level stars. He appealed to Al-Qadisiyah fans to support and stand by the Al-Qadisiyah team on the green field, stressing that the support of the Al-Qadisiyah fans would lead the players to win the match, gain the three points, and reach 63 points.

The team has been achieved since the arrival of Irish coach Brendan Rodgers, who is doing a wonderful job with Al-Qadisiyah, as augmented by all Qadisiyah fans. On the other hand, the Al-Ettifaq team will strongly strive to win the match and compensate for their previous loss to Al-Qadisiyah about a month ago, where they lost by a surprising four goals.
