During the press conference held on Friday evening, Gomez stated that his team needs to make up for what happened against Al-Taawoun, emphasizing the importance of taking advantage of available scoring opportunities and not hesitating in front of the opponent's goal in the upcoming matches.

The coach pointed out that the team needs to improve its ability to counter quickly and launch surprise attacks, while focusing on enhancing shooting accuracy, especially against teams that apply constant pressure throughout the match.

Gomez takes full responsibility for the heavy defeat the team suffered with a score of 5-2 against Al-Taawoun, clarifying that he is the team's primary captain and that the shortcomings in performance fall on him personally.

The Portuguese coach revealed that he had warned his players about the strength of the opponent before the match, but the performance was not up to the required level, which led to conceding consecutive goals during the first half of the game.

Gomez concluded his remarks by emphasizing that the preparations for the match against Al-Taawoun were organized and based on a clear plan. However, losing control of the ball at critical moments led to a collapse in defensive balance. He promised Al-Fateh fans that there would be intensive work ahead of the anticipated match against Al-Hilal.
