The coach continued, saying: "The team is fully prepared for this big confrontation, and we have been working since the beginning of the week to correct some mistakes that appeared in the previous rounds. Such matches are not subject to predictions, and are often decided by small details, so focus and calmness will be the most important weapons."

Jaber added: "I always say that the league is still in its early stages, and fluctuations are present in every round, but the Clasico match is different because it represents a huge moral incentive for any team that wins it. We respect Al-Zawraa as a big team, but we will play in our style and rely on the readiness of our players to provide the performance that befits the name of Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya."

Jaber concluded his statements by saying: "This match will be a real test for both sides in the competition for the advanced positions, and we hope that the performance will be enjoyable for the fans who are eagerly awaiting this summit, and we will strive with all we have to please them and achieve victory."
