'Final' for Thai Son Nam, Al Rayyan out to show progress

“Playing for third place for us, mentally or motivation-wise, is not a problem. We are the hosts, it is up to us to win this match. For us, this match is like playing in the final.

“The important thing mentally is to overcome the loss to the best team of this competition. Yesterday’s defeat to Chonburi was the worst match we've played in this competition so it is important to bounce back.

“This morning the players looked convinced, like they are ready to fight, to play our usual style of high-pressing and aggressive defence. I am confident that the stadium will be full. We really want to finish third for the fans.”
