Sharjah 24: Ahead of their upcoming match in the ADNOC Professional League, Sharjah Club's technical director Cosmin Olaroiu and player Khaled Bawazir held a press conference to discuss the team's preparations and expectations.
Cosmin opened the conference by acknowledging the difficulty of the upcoming match, highlighting Al Nasr's strength and skill as a formidable opponent. He stated, "Al Nasr is a distinguished team with exceptional players and a unique style of play that can pose challenges for any team. To face such a team, we must have great patience and remain fully focused throughout the game. Their players are capable of individual moments of brilliance, making them a dangerous opponent."
The coach also drew a parallel between this league match and the previous cup encounter with Al Nasr, which he described as a tough battle.

He added, "We have tomorrow to finalise preparations and will decide the lineup based on that."
Addressing the team’s recent setbacks, Cosmin emphasised the importance of learning from mistakes and improving performance, saying, "We always aim for victory, but it’s normal to lose occasionally. What matters is how we learn from those losses and work hard to get back to winning ways."
Khaled Bawazir, for his part, expressed confidence in the team’s readiness, acknowledging Al Nasr’s strong form this season. He said, "Al Nasr is a team in good form, but we are ready for the match and will do our best to achieve victory."
Bawazir also reached out to Sharjah's fans, urging them to show their support in this important home game. "We always count on the support of our loyal fans. This is our first match at home this season, and we hope to see them in large numbers. We will give our all to make them proud and secure the win."
