Hussein Abdulghani, the former Al-Ahli star, expressed his concern about the Italian coach Simone Inzaghi's compatibility with Al-Hilal's playing style in the upcoming phase, considering that the biggest challenge lies in the team's defensive approach.

Abdulghani clarified that Al-Hilal has relied on an open attacking style for years, which contradicts the tactical balance that Inzaghi adopts, potentially creating a gap between the coach's philosophy and the players' performance.

He pointed out that Al-Hilal does not excel in defensive clustering, which may complicate the implementation of Inzaghi's plans that lean towards balance and discipline, raising questions about the team's ability to adapt to this shift.

In his comment on Abdulghani's opinion, the media figure Khaled Al-Shuneif believed that Al-Hilal possesses a distinguished group of foreign players, which gives the coach the opportunity to apply his philosophy regardless of its complexity.

Al-Shuneif confirmed that the diversity of foreign options provides Inzaghi with multiple tools to build a balanced team, with the possibility of overcoming any tactical gaps thanks to the high individual capabilities of the stars.
