Laurent Blanc, the coach of Al-Ittihad, spoke about his team's upcoming match against Al-Qadisiyah in the King’s Cup final.
Al-Ittihad will face Al-Qadisiyah in the King’s Cup final tomorrow, Friday, at 9 PM Cairo and Mecca time.
Blanc stated in the pre-match press conference that he is looking forward to a perfect end to the season, confirming that his players have had an exceptional season.
He added: "I hope the players are in good physical and mental condition for the match, so we can overcome a strong and organized team like Al-Qadisiyah."
Blanc was asked about the transformation that occurred in his team since losing the first classic against Al-Hilal in the league, to which he replied: "At that time, Al-Hilal was the best because they are the defending champions, but it was too early for us to improve, and we became the best throughout the rest of the season and won the title, and we overcame them afterwards."
The French coach emphasized the role of the fans in supporting the team.
He spoke about Al-Qadisiyah, saying: "They have distinguished players with speed and quality, but we are talking about a team sport, and with all due respect to Al-Qadisiyah, we respect them but we do not fear them."
