The Police Club held its press conference regarding the match against Naft Maysan within the 31st round of the Iraqi Stars League. Head coach Moamen Soliman and player Sherif Abdul Kadhim spoke about the importance of the meeting and the team's conditions before traveling to Maysan to play the match on Sunday afternoon at the Olympic Stadium.

Coach Moamen Soliman began his remarks by warning about the difficulty of the match despite the numbers: 'The match will not be easy tomorrow, even though all our previous encounters against Naft Maysan have been successful. History does not play, and each match has its circumstances.'

Soliman confirmed his respect for the opponent and that he studied the team well: 'Naft Maysan has distinguished players, and we are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. No team in this league can be underestimated, especially when they play at home and among their fans.'

Regarding his players' readiness, the Egyptian coach praised the group's commitment: 'Our players always prove their worth through high concentration and attention to match details in order to secure its points. This is what makes the difference in such encounters.'

Soliman revealed his adaptation to the tough season conditions: 'As a head coach, I have adapted to the injury conditions, especially this season. There are many absences, but we deal with reality and prepare all players to be up to the responsibility.'

The Police coach gave special praise to the fitness coach: 'I must commend fitness coach Dr. Haider Abdul Qader. I have worked with many coaches, but the truth is that Abdul Qader is the best for his culture and knowledge. His role is significant in preparing players physically despite the match pressure.'

Regarding the title race, Soliman said: 'I haven't thought much about the point difference, as much as I work on instilling confidence in our players' minds to achieve victory. We play each match separately, focusing only on what is in our hands.'

For his part, player Sherif Abdul Kadhim confirmed the team's readiness for the confrontation: 'We have completed our preparations for tomorrow's match. Despite its difficulty, our goal as players is to make our fans happy and achieve victory. We know the importance of the three points at this time.'

Abdul Kadhim, who scored in the recent win over Al-Qasim, stressed that the upcoming stage cannot afford any lapses: 'We have eight matches ahead of us like finals, and we look forward to returning to Baghdad with full marks. There is no room for mistakes, and every point may determine the fate of the title.'

Regarding his role with the team, he said: 'Focus is the most important factor in the upcoming rounds, and whenever the coach needs me, I will be ready at any time. The important thing is the team's interest, whether I play as a starter or a substitute.'

Naft Maysan is in 18th place with 26 points and is fighting relegation, making it a dangerous opponent on its home ground. The first-leg match ended with a hard-fought 2-1 victory for the Police, which explains Soliman's warnings against underestimation.
