Al-Wahda player, Brazilian Gianluca Muniz, confirmed that Al-Anabi could have achieved better results than the ones it has achieved since the beginning of this season, pointing out that the team is capable of improving its position in the league standings and competing for the title, as the team currently occupies third place with 13. One point, five points behind leaders Shabab Al-Ahly, while Al-Sharjah comes second with 15 points.
Moniz told Emirates Al-Youm that Al-Wahda presented good levels in many matches, noting that “the team includes an integrated group of players who possess high skills and abilities that place Al-Wahda among the teams that will compete for titles during the current season.”
He added: “We deserve to achieve better results than we have achieved so far, but the good thing is that we are at the beginning of the season, and we have an opportunity to improve results and advance in the league standings.”
Regarding the impact of the team’s exit from the round of 16 in the President’s Cup against Al Wasl, he said: “We played a strong match against a good competitor, and we were not lucky during the match, even though we gave everything we had, but cup matches depend on small details, and in the end one team qualifies.” In the playoffs, there is no doubt that we hoped to continue our journey in the tournament, which was among our priorities, but this is football, and we closed this page, and we are currently focusing on the league championships and the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup.
He pointed out that “Al-Anabi” has no problem in matches against teams competing for the title, and said: “I see that we presented good levels in the matches that we played against direct competitors. Despite our loss to Shabab Al-Ahly, we played a strong match, and it ended with the competitor’s victory by five goals to four. In an exciting match, while we achieved a victory over Al Ain outside our stadium, and we lost to Al Wasl in the cup, and these matches are fun and strong, and depend on success many times, but in general I see that Al Wahda plays well in these matches.”
The Brazilian player explained that the unit must be more focused in the next stage, and said: “The matches will become more difficult after the end of the beginning of the season, which is sometimes characterized by instability, and the focus of the players must increase, because with the successive matches, the level of the competing teams will develop, and we must At the same time, we must develop and fight in all matches to achieve victory.”
As for the extent of his satisfaction with his performance during the current season, he said: “I am very satisfied with the level I have performed with the team so far, as I am giving everything I have, but despite that, there is no player who can say about himself that he has become 100% complete. There is always room to improve and appear better, and I certainly want to improve and help my team achieve victories.”
