Blanc said in the press conference after the match: “I think that the Al-Ittihad players could have performed better. I think that the month of January is always difficult for all teams, and this is a period Complex".
He added: "Yesterday I watched two league matches. The matter is complicated for all the teams. The December hiatus was long, and it casts a shadow on all the teams."
He noted: “I did not have many players in attack, and with Karim Benzema’s fatigue, I preferred to modify the way I played.”
He continued: “The best characteristic of my team is that it can adapt to all styles of play. We have strength in the flanks and depth, and the availability of these capabilities is a positive thing for us.”
