Amid widespread fan anticipation and significant media interest leading up to the kickoff of the awaited capital classic, Al-Shorta's coaching staff and stars have made efforts to send messages of reassurance and confidence to supporters, confirming the Green Lyre's readiness to face the major battle against Al Zawraa tomorrow evening at the Al-Madina International Stadium as part of the Iraq Stars League.

Police Club coach Hussein Abdul Wahid has stated that tomorrow's match against Al Zawraa carries a special and exceptional character, regardless of the results and levels of both teams in previous rounds. He pointed out that any player in the league wishes to participate in such major crowd-pleasing matches.

Abbas Fadhil stated: "Our players are up to the responsibility and fully ready for this summit, and they do not need any additional motivation as the match is against a respected and big team like Al Zawraa."

Expressing his happiness with the rapid development, he said: "I have noticed a clear and quick response from the players over the last three days to correct mistakes, which will certainly reflect on the team's performance in upcoming matches and lead to better levels."

He stressed the need for the team to have some time: "Yes, I need some time to apply the technical and tactical ideas in the best way, and there is a great response from the players. I would like to reassure the loyal Al Zawraa fans that the team will return soon to its usual level."

The head coach highlighted the human challenges facing the team, stating: "We are suffering from some absences due to injuries such as Ahmed Zero and Abbas Fadhil, along with the absence of professional Abdul Majid Abu Bakr due to a red card in the previous match, but the rest of the players are fully ready for the challenge."

Bassam Shakir, the star of the team, spoke about the difficulty of the match, stating: "The match will not be easy at all and will be characterized by great competitiveness between the two sides. The team that is more prepared and smarter in dealing with the details of the match will be the closest to snatch the three points."

Shakir clarified regarding the harmony with the new ideas: "Everyone is in complete readiness for tomorrow's clash and most of the players have already started implementing the new tactical duties set by the coaching staff led by Captain Hussein Abdul Wahid."

The star concluded his remarks with a message regarding absences and fan support: "We have some significant absences due to injuries and suspensions, but this does not change the fact that Al-Shorta always plays with whoever is available to give their all. All we ask from our fans is some patience and support so we can fully regain our required level."

Confident and realistic statements reflect a serious desire within Al-Shorta to overcome the phase of technical change and present a strong performance worthy of the club's name and status. Will Abdul Wahid's sons succeed in unraveling the mysteries of the clásico and snatching the ticket to the forefront? This will be revealed in the battle on the pitch tomorrow evening!
