Spanish star Víctor Machín, known as "Vitolo", confirmed that Italian coach Simone Inzaghi will not abandon his well-known style in his new experience with Saudi club Al-Hilal, and will remain loyal to his usual tactical philosophy.

Vitolo pointed out in his statements to the program "Dourina Gheer" that Inzaghi relied on an organized defensive approach with Inter Milan, without compromising the offensive effectiveness that made a difference in major encounters.

He added that the presence of prominent players in Al-Hilal such as João Cancelo, Sergej Milinković-Savić, Aleksandar Mitrović, and Malcolm provides the Italian coach with sufficient tools to implement his plans comfortably.

On the field, reporter Saad Al-Sabai from the team's camp in Miami conveyed that Inzaghi is still studying the best option to face Real Madrid, amid hesitation between a four-man defense and a three-man defense bolstered by five players.

Al-Sabai clarified that recent training sessions have tested several playing styles, aiming to assess the players' harmony with each tactic, in preparation for finalizing the official approach in the last training session.

On another note, the tickets for the anticipated match between Al-Hilal and Real Madrid witnessed exceptional demand, as they sold out completely, making it one of the highest-priced matches in the tournament so far.
