Speaking to the newsmen at the UFL premises in Dubai during a brief ceremony to launch the new UFL logo and website, Nohra said they are thinking big and they know very well the amount of challenges and difficulties which they will be facing.
“I admit that our start was not as perfect as it should be. We made mistakes, and mistakes are part of the game,” he said. Meanwhile, the UAE clubs have almost completed their preparations for the start of the season.
Former champions Al Ahli have arrived in the western region Al Dhafra to start their campaign from there. The Red Knights are believed to be in their best form after a successful move by the club’s new management to secure the services of the Premiership coach David O’Leary and three top foreign players. They included Juventus international defender Canavaro, Al Wahda’s brilliant midfielder Pinga and Mainz 05 smart striker Aristide Bance.
In Dubai, defending champions Al Wahda will have an uphill task against the Gulf champions Al Wasl when the two giants lock horns at Zabeel Stadium.
Al Wahda had an unexpected start of the season when they went 1-3 down to relegated Al Emarat in the Super Cup last week and they have too much work to do to pacify with their angry fans.
On Friday, promoted Ittihad Kalba host Sharjah and Al Jazira entertain Al Wasl. And on Saturday Al Ain take on Dubai at Al Qattara Stadium and Al Shabab play Bani Yas at Maktoum bin Rashid Stadium in Dubai.
