When asked on the eve ofthe game to reassure fans about his side's poor start, Maradona told the Gulf News: "If you're scared don't come to the matches. Stay at home and watch a DVD or a comedy series. "There is nothing to be scared about in football, it is about passion and entertainment. If you like to be entertained watch it, but if you dont then stay away." "I like to win and I'm here to win and achieve great results with Al Wasl. Al Wasl fans shouldn't feel worried, we'll be able to get great results -- we have a great squad with good skills and great ambition and work ethic. They are all very good men who want to achieve something in this sport."
