Danilo Pereira, the midfielder of Al-Ittihad, announced the team's full readiness to face Al-Duhail in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League Elite. He emphasized that the team arrived in Qatar with a clear intention: to secure all three points.

During the press conference, Pereira pointed out that the team is looking to deliver a strong performance that reflects their desire to improve their position in the group, especially with the competition heating up ahead of the final rounds.

The player also addressed the issue of the repeated red cards that have accompanied Al-Ittihad this season, emphasizing that those incidents were never intentional and that the players are working diligently to reduce mistakes that could lead to expulsions.

Pereira explained that the paradox lies in Al-Ittihad's success in winning most of the matches that involved red cards, considering this as evidence of the team's strong character and its ability to overcome difficult circumstances on the field.

The Portuguese midfielder indicated that the federation trusts his abilities to return from Doha with a positive result, especially since the team enters the match with six points, placing them sixth in Group B.

Al-Ittihad is preparing for the match against Al-Duhail, who have four points, placing them in seventh position. Meanwhile, the Saudi team enters the encounter following their recent 2-1 victory over Al-Riyadh in the ninth round of the Saudi League.
