Inzaghi Reveals Behind-the-Scenes of Al-Hilal's Stumble and Reassures Fans About the Injured Trio
Italian Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Al-Hilal, explained the reasons why his team ended in a goalless draw against Al-Ahli in the top match of the twentieth round of the Saudi Professional League, which took place amid a strong contest between the two sides.
Inzaghi confirmed, in statements reported by the Saudi sports newspaper, that Al-Hilal delivered a good technical performance but lacked precision in finishing attacks, emphasizing that the final touch and pass were not up to the required standard.
The Italian coach pointed out that Al-Hilal faced a team that had played a match just a few days earlier, and with an opponent that differed technically from previous encounters, noting that his players endured the pressure of the match throughout the entire ninety minutes.
Inzaghi revealed details of his players' injuries, explaining that Al-Yami left due to an ankle injury, while Sergei had a strong collision with Kessie, yet he completed the match until the end.
The Al-Hilal coach explained that Muteb was unable to continue the match after the end of the first half, which necessitated forced changes that affected the team's options during the second half.
Inzaghi admitted that the third consecutive draw affects the team's start, but he emphasized that Al Hilal is still at the top, stressing the importance of winning the next match and quickly returning to victories.
Inzaghi concluded his remarks by noting that the match was characterized by physical strength and high intensity, considering it the toughest since the start of the league, reiterating that the lack of the final touch was the decisive factor.
