The Spanish coach, Imanol Alguacil, of Al-Shabab Club, expressed his satisfaction with the draw against Al-Khaleej in the match that brought the two teams together in the eighteenth round of the Roshan Professional League.

The match was held at Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, where Al-Shabab secured a valuable point against a tough opponent who had the advantage of playing at home and in front of their fans this season.

During the press conference following the match, Al-Ghawasil emphasized that his team clearly relies on young Saudi players, noting that seven players under the age of 23 participated in the team's lineup.

The youth coach explained that the team is going through a noticeable phase of development, which has been reflected in their performance on the field, despite the challenges and difficult circumstances the players have faced in the past period.

The coach pointed out the significant absences in the team, notably Yacine Adli, Carrasco, and Hamdallah, emphasizing that their absence has had a clear impact on the tactical options.

He emphasized that Al-Khaleej is one of the strong teams on its home ground, noting that it rarely suffers losses this season, which makes a draw an acceptable result at this time.

Al-Ghwasil concluded his statements by affirming the continued efforts to improve the team's position in the standings, expressing his confidence that the new signings will provide a strong boost to the team in the upcoming phase.
