What now for Al Wahda?
The former Ajax boss pointed out Goa's humidity, just like Al Rayyan boss Laurent Blanc, put Al Wahda in an unfavourable position. But he has now set sights on the remaining four games in the 2021 ACL group stage.
"Humidity is undoubtedly an influencing factor because players lose a lot of fluids. Undoubtedly, teams with players who are fasting will face the same problem," he spoke of the weather conditions in Goa which are not conducive for players observing Ramadan.
"We are trying our best to make the players look their best in these circumstances. Now we are working on recovering the players and we will make preparations for the next match directly. There is always a place for development and in these matches we talk to the players and we are still in competition as we have four matches. I hope that luck will be on our side during the upcoming matches," ten Cate signed out.
