It could cost him the Asian seat. Al-Qadisiya coach urges his players to take revenge on Al-Ittihad.

The Northern Ireland coach is early to ignite the Tigers’ situation

Northern Ireland’s Brendan Rodgers, the coach of Al-Qadisiyah team, has motivated his players to take revenge on Al-Ittihad in the upcoming match of the Saudi Rushen League.

Al-Qadisiya host Al-Ittihad in the thirty-fourth and final round of the Roshan League tomorrow, Thursday, at the Al-Enmaa Stadium in Jeddah.

According to the Saudi Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Rogers said at the press conference before the match.“Going into the last Al-Ittihad clash, our mindset is to win and that’s something we’ve been working hard on over the last period and I have full confidence in the team’s ability to achieve that.”

A loss for Al-Ittihad could cost them fifth place to qualify for the AFC Champions League elite preliminary round, especially if two points behind them Al-Taawoun beat their hosts Al-Hazm at the same time.

The Northern Ireland manager was asked if he would be encouraging his players to take revenge on Al Ittihad after their last-gasp win over Al Sharqai in the Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup last season.

Rogers replied. “We learned from the final and in football you get another chance and we want to finish this season with a win.”

Notably, Al-Qadisiya have already secured their place in the next AFC Champions League for Elite after securing fourth place in the Saudi league table.
