Keizer: Al Jazira attacks and defends as one team

Marcel Keizer insisted that his players deserves all the praise for making the team the strongest in the league, on both defense and attack, and said playing and taking responsibilities as one team is the reason behind the positive results and stellar performances of Al Jazira during this season.

“Scoring 49 goals in 20 matches is not easy in this league, and let’s not forget that we also conceded the fewest goals, alongside Baniyas, which means that we are attacking and defending as one team and with the same intensity and discipline, and my players deserves all the praise for these positive numbers and good performances. Preparing for this season was not easy at all, considering the strange circumstances around the Covid19 pandemic, but the team did very well, and am happy and proud of every single one of them”, said Keizer during the pre-match press conference ahead of Monday home game against Fujairah”.

“I said since day one there is no simple game or easy opponent in the Arabian Gulf League, and nothing changed since then. Facing a team from the bottom of the table or a title contender is always the same in terms of difficulty and complexity, so I don’t agree with whoever said Al Jazira remaining matches are easy”.

“Everyone is fit and ready for Monday game, we are working on improving some aspects in our game, especially the performance in second half, but generally am happy with what we are doing at the moment. Fujairah improved a lot recently and they weren’t lucky when they lost important points in the last minutes of their games. They have creative midfield and strong forwards, but we need to look at ourselves first and keep doing our best without distracting ourselves with anything else”.
