Murad Al-Masry (Abu Dhabi)
Al Jazira coach Gregory recalled the memories of the winning goal he scored as a player against Baniyas in 2011, as he searched for the first victory with “Abu Dhabi Pride” since he took over the job, when he meets “Al Samawi”, on Sunday, in the “22nd round” of the “ADNOC League”. For professionals.
The coach, who was then a player in Ittihad Kalba, spoke and scored the winning goal in stoppage time, and said, “I consider it one of the most beautiful goals I scored in my career in the Emirates, because it came with a header, and I do not usually score with headers, and in the last minute, and I have played here since 2006.” “I try to harness my experiences on the field as a coach and help the current players. Despite this, I consider that the level of strikers on Al Jazira currently is better than when I was a striker.”
Gregory expressed his satisfaction with the preparations and the spirit shown by the players during the preparations, but he stressed that victory is a requirement in the confrontation against a team that has the quality and capabilities to make the match difficult. He said, “We sought to correct some simple mistakes, and we play to win in front of our fans and continue on the right path.” ».
The coach explained that each team must adapt to the absences it suffers from, and said, “We have the necessary quality to compete in all positions. As for Abdullah Ramadan, he needs some time to play the full 90 minutes, and we are not in a rush to have him return fully prepared, and everyone realizes his technical value to Al Jazeera and the national team.” ».
Al Jazira did not win the last 8 matches in a row in the “ADNOC Professional League”, but the team improved under Gregory’s leadership, and won 3 valuable draws away from home against Al Ain, Sharjah and Al Wasl, respectively, and is now looking forward to victory in the “Derby”.
