Fiery Statements from Renard and Talayich Before the Clash of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain
French coach Hervé Renard, the head coach of the Saudi national team, confirmed that the upcoming match against Bahrain in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup will be decisive, noting that the Green Falcons are fully prepared to achieve victory.
Renard emphasized the importance of the anticipated match, saying that his players are in excellent physical and technical condition, and all of them regularly participate in their club matches, adding: "We are in third place and we fully understand that we have no alternative but to win our last two matches."
In his statements, Renard described the Bahraini national team as a tough opponent, saying: "I have faced them three times in the Gulf tournaments, but this time is completely different," stressing that preparations are proceeding according to a clear and advanced plan.
Renard pointed out the importance of psychological readiness, especially since the match comes at the end of a tiring season, adding: "We have players who have shown excellent performances with their clubs like Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad, and they have high morale and great ambitions to reach the World Cup."
For his part, Croatian Dragan Talayich, the coach of the Bahraini national team, expressed his great respect for the Saudi Green Falcons, but at the same time confirmed his absolute confidence in his players, clarifying: "We are approaching the match focusing only on ourselves, and we do not think about the results of other teams."
Talayich stated that the Bahraini team seeks to secure full points from the last two matches in the qualifiers, adding: "We face Saudi Arabia with full concentration, and we know they have great potential, but we play 11 against 11, and my confidence in my players is limitless."
Talayich did not shy away from making bold remarks, jokingly saying: "I hope for the loss of Saudi Arabia and Australia, so that joy prevails in Bahrain," and added: "Previously, we faced Mancini and now we face Renard, both are distinguished coaches, but on the field, we are not friends."
