Renard's Surprise Plan to Block Morocco in the Arab Cup!
The French coach Hervé Renard, head of the Saudi national team, adopted an intensive defensive approach in preparation for today's match against Morocco in the third round of Group C in the Arab Cup tournament held in Qatar.
Saudi sports reports indicated that Renard tested his starting lineup during the recent drill, relying on five players in the backline in anticipation of the Moroccan team's strong offensive capabilities.
The Saudi defensive line consisted of Nawaf Bushal, Mohammed Bakr, Abdulilah Al-Omari, Ali Majrashi, and Waleed Al-Ahmad, in an effort to secure the depth and flanks more solidly during the upcoming match.
The duo Murad Hawsawi and Musab Al-Juwair took on the role of linking in midfield behind the attacking trio consisting of Saleh Abu Al-Shamat, Abdulrahman Al-Aboud, and the forward Saleh Al-Shehri.
This ranking came after the Saudi national team secured their spot in the quarterfinals following a well-deserved 3-1 victory over the Comoros Islands in the second round.
Al-Akhdar retains the top spot in Group Three with 6 points, two points ahead of Morocco, which follows in second place, giving the upcoming match great importance in shaping the competition.
