Doha: Brazilian striker and Al Arabi’s fans favourite Paulinho believes the competition at this year’s Qatar Stars League (QSL) is tough and it will become even tougher as the league progresses. “The competition is very tough, all the teams are much better this season especially with regards to the top four teams,” the striker told the QSL Online.
He added: “The next game against El Jaish will be a tough task as they are second but we are confident in our abilities.”
The front man was hesitant to say who he thought would take the title, saying: “The QSL Shield is still on the pitch as they say; only eight Rounds have been played. We still have 18 Rounds left,” he said.
“All the teams in this league still have a chance to compete despite Rayyan having a great start to the season. There are still many games and I am sure there will be some surprised or upsets.”
He continued by saying that this year’s winter transfer window will also be an intriguing time with many transfers still to come.
