Al-Sadd SC firmly dominate the
Qatar Stars League. Since they lost points on the previous manager’s last game, they count their matches as victories.
Four of four for
Javi Gracia, represented by
Promoesport, who went to the club to maintain the successful playing style that was being implemented and, so far, he is more than succeeding.
3-0 against
Al Khor, 0-2 against
Al-Sailiya, 1-5 against
Al-Shamal and 4-2 against
Al-Arabi. In total,
14 goals scored and 3 conceded in the four games of the coach from Navarra in charge of the project. These statistics reflect a playing style developed in the image of position football, basing their offensive and defensive strategy in the ball possession and the high pressure. Gracia’s liking for this trend translates on the thrashing scoreboards he is getting on his first steps in the Qatar league.
Al-Sadd lead the Stars League for points clear the second and with three games less. Their two next games will be the first crucial tests for the Pamplona coach: they will face the third qualified,
Al-Wakrah; and the fourth,
Al-Gharafa. Getting away with the six points from these two games, Javi Gracia and his team would set a statement and leave their direct rivals in the fight for the title very hurt.
