We have worked very hard during the last period, whether in the training we conducted here in Doha or in our external camp in Austria and we are ready as we want to make a positive start to this season in our first match,”يوم المباراة ⚽️🔴 𝕄𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝔻𝕒𝕪#الدحيل الاسبوع الأول | #دوري_نجوم_QNB pic.twitter.com/MeY1TDfbP0— نادي الدحيل ALDUHAIL (@DuhailSC) August 3, 2022 “I do not promise to win titles, but I promise you that we will be competitors for all championships, and the players are working hard every day because everyone respects Al Duhail’s identity and wants the team to continue to provide the technical level it was known for,” Crespo said ahead of the Al Wakra game.Although the team will be without a majority of its players who have been called up to the national team, Olunga, Crespo and Duhail will be hoping to get their campaign off to the perfect start.The match kicks off at 1735EAT.##NAJAVA_MECA_6541364##
