“We have enough time to reschedule the next matches. In my opinion, a correct and honest decision should be made at this point, and matches in the 16th round, the quarter-finals, maybe even the semi-finals should be postponed. It is an extraordinary situation and in such a situation, correct, normal decisions must be made, through which everyone must be respected and given the opportunity to defend our title on the field.
We all are here (No. in Qatar, where the last group and final matches are scheduled, which are played according to a system similar to the Champions League and Europa League), we live together and endanger each other’s health. Under normal conditions, everyone would have been at home and those infected could have been isolated from the rest of the group. It was very difficult for us, it was a difficult situation, but the Asian Federation must, is obliged to respect Al Hilal and reschedule the next matches.
Today we have 8 field players and 3 goalkeepers. What can we do? In Europe, in all countries, in all competitions, there are postponed matches. The Asian Federation must take into account this extraordinary situation, find a suitable date and give us the opportunity to play“said the technician.
Al-Hilal was the leader of the group, being undefeated after the first 5 stages. Tonight, the guys from Razvan Lucescu should have played Al Ahli.
