Portugal’s Vitor Pereira, coach of the al-shabab team, expressed his pleasure at winning his debut with the team in the face of being damac in the 20th round of the Saudi Professional League.
Pereira spoke to reporters, saying: “It is true that this match today was my first game and I spent a little time with the team, happy with the three points.”
He added: “The difference between my periods with Al Ahly and with al-shabab, the value of the league is now much stronger before and happy with this development.”
In response to the question about his high pressure and acquisition and whether he would apply it with al-shabab, he said: “I need more time at work, and this is my way of always pressing and I like to have possession with all the teams I train and this is my way.”
For his part, Romanian Kosmin Contra, the head coach of damac team, told the press conference: “A serious error of judgment caused our expulsion and loss of the match and it is not normal for an international referee to make such mistakes.”
“After the expulsion, the game became very different for al-shabab players with individual skills.”
Kuzmin Contra revealed: “Stopping has an impact on everyone, the game ended in simple details, and all teams will not show the required level due to the stoppage.”
