Ahmed Hossam Mido, the former Zamalek star, confirmed that Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Al Hilal, will change his team's playing style and implement his preferred tactics.

Mido stated in television remarks: "Inzaghi prefers the 3-5-2 formation, but it requires time to implement due to its complexity. Therefore, he relied on a four-man defense in the match against Real Madrid to avoid confusing the players."

He added: "Conte did something similar with Chelsea in 2016, where he relied on a defensive quartet in the first 9 matches, then changed the plan to a three-man defense during the international break, leading the team to win the Premier League that year."

Mido continued: "Malcom is the only one in the attacking third who excels at playing on the flanks, and he will be a crucial asset in Inzaghi's plans."

Mido predicted Renan Lodi's departure from the team, saying: "If Inzaghi implements the three-defender formation, Lodi may not have a significant role, making his departure likely."
