Frenchman François Rodriguez, assistant coach of the Saudi national team, spoke about the match against the Comoros Islands scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, in the second round of the group stage of the Arab Cup.

François Rodriguez said at the pre-match press conference: "We noticed that this tournament is tough, and it was important for us to start the tournament with a win, which is what we did against Oman."

French assistant coach Hervé Renard added: "We will play against Comoros with great respect, and we want to continue to confirm our first victory."

Rodriguez commented on Haidar, the Comoros player, and the danger of his movements, emphasizing that the stars of Al-Akhdar did not focus on a single player. He said, "We noticed many things about the Comoros national team, and player number 7 is not the only standout."

He added: "Comoros has a good squad, especially in defensive aspects, and we do not have a specific plan to stop a particular player."

He added: "I don't know the reason behind Hervé Renard's absence, but the entire technical staff has prepared well, and we will do everything we can to win against Comoros in Renard's absence."

He continued: "My team is working at full capacity to assist me, and we will do our best to achieve victory. Renard will only be absent for the match against the Comoros Islands, and I will represent him in tomorrow's match. He will be with us for the match against Morocco."
