Iago dos Santos, Saudi youth defender (Al-Laith), took advantage of the Al-Jazira match presentation conference (the pride of Abu Dhabi) to talk regarding the influence of Marios Somodica, the team’s coach.
Al-Laith appointed Somodica in late March, and he previously led the capital team in the 2018-2019 season.
Al Shabab is doing well with its Romanian coach in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, as it leads Group B with 13 points.
Al-Laith will compete in the sixth and final rounds, where he will meet the pride of Abu Dhabi, which collected 4 points and placed it third.
Dos Santos praised his coach at the press conference, stressing, “Since Somodica came to the team, he gave us strength and self-confidence. This was clear to me personally.”
And the owner of the No. 3 shirt touched on Al-Jazira’s confrontation, declaring, “We are fully prepared for this match, and we are excited to play it.”
Dos Santos added, “Our goal is to win for a perfect conclusion to the group stage, and to continue the culture of winning.”
