Inzaghi: Happy with the team's performance and Pachuca is a strong opponent
Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Saudi Al Hilal, stated that he is happy with his team's performance against Salzburg in the match held today, Monday, as part of the second round of the group stage of the Club World Cup.
The match ended in a goalless draw 0-0, and Al Hilal displayed an outstanding performance during the encounter.
Inzaghi said in the press conference after the match: "I am very happy with the performance in this match, and it is natural for us to be unhappy about not scoring goals. We had many chances, Leonardo had a shot, and Savic had several opportunities. I can only say thank you for this good performance. This is a crucial match, and we put in a lot of effort, and we are working on improving and developing our performance as a team."
He added: "We have only worked together for a week. I just started here, and I had a week in Saudi Arabia, and we have been in America for ten days now. This club wanted to sign me, and of course, I accepted the offer, and I am happy and convinced with all the decisions I have made."
Regarding the injury of Hassan Tambakti, he said: "I don't think his injury is muscular, but he is fatigued from the match against Real Madrid. We have options like Lajami and Khalifa, and in the second half, I moved Ruben Neves to play as a center-back."
Inzaghi spoke about the Mexican team Pachuca, saying: "Pachuca showed a wonderful and competitive level, and I have not watched their match against Real Madrid yet. They play in the same way as Salzburg, and we need to be prepared. They are a strong opponent despite losing their first two matches, but they delivered a good performance."
