Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, head coach of Saudi club Al Hilal, revealed the behind-the-scenes details of the hard-fought victory over UAE's Sharjah in the sixth round of the AFC Champions League Elite.

Inzaghi explained that the match took place under exceptional circumstances, after Savic encountered minor issues before the game, which led the coaching staff to urge the players to put in extra effort following the break.

The Al-Hilal coach pointed out that the many absences and the pressure of upcoming matches forced him to resort to a rotation policy, emphasizing his need for all available players in the upcoming phase.

Inzaghi spoke about rotating the goalkeepers, explaining that all the team's goalkeepers perform strongly in training, and the most suitable goalkeeper is chosen based on the nature of each match.

The Italian coach expressed his satisfaction with the performance and the result, noting that the team created several opportunities and was able to score early. However, the most important thing is achieving the victory and continuing to improve.

Inzaghi sent a direct message to Al-Hilal fans, urging them to provide continuous support and emphasizing that work is ongoing daily to make them happy and improve the team in all areas.

Al Hilal continues to lead Group B in the AFC Champions League Elite with 18 points, having secured six consecutive victories and strengthened their positive run of results.
