The Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição, manager of Al-Ittihad, expressed his satisfaction with his team's 2-1 victory over Al-Fayha in the 22nd round of the Saudi Roshn League, in the match held at the Al-Inma Stadium in Jeddah.

Conceição explained after the match that the victory holds great significance, especially after having played an Asian match a few days earlier, noting the difficulty of playing against a well-organized and strong opponent.

The Al-Ittihad coach pointed out that Al-Fayha entered the match with high spirits after a series of positive results, emphasizing that securing the three points was the main goal at this stage.

Regarding the lack of created opportunities, Conceição emphasized that the numbers do not reflect everything, explaining that the team has reached the final third more often and wasted more chances this season.

He added that Al-Fayha only threatened the goal on one occasion, considering that his team suffers from wasting opportunities despite its clear offensive superiority in most matches.

Conceição concluded his remarks by emphasizing that possession against teams like Al-Fayha gives an advantage, but facing teams that press at high speeds from the midfield poses natural challenges for any team.
