On his form from the start of the season, Kandil said: “The coach gives me confidence, I am feeling good and know I must take the chances I receive. I want to prove myself in every chance I get this year. I work hard and feel that my form is improving, but in football people have a short memory so one has to work all the time. I am feeling good and hope to continue in this direction”.

On Villarreal: “Everyone knows what opponent we are facing but in every game we believe in ourselves, especially at home. The coaching staff will prepare us for the game as they always do”.
