Falah went on: "We are working with the technical staff to correct past mistakes, focusing on tactical stability and physical fitness, because any match now requires us to give 100% of our capabilities."

He concluded: "The fans are an additional player on the field, and their continuous support gives us great motivation to achieve victories. We are determined to deliver a strong match against Erbil no matter the difficulties."
