The German coach Matthias Jaissle, the head coach of Al-Ahli team, warned against rushing to talk about securing the Saudi League title, despite the important victory his team achieved against Al-Ittihad in the Jeddah derby.

Al-Ahli's victory over Al-Ittihad came with a score of three goals to one, in the match that brought the two teams together in the twenty-fifth round of the Saudi Roshn League, at the Inma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City.

Yaisle praised the atmosphere witnessed during the derby, affirming that the match was strong and remarkable, and that Al-Ahly players delivered a performance that inspires pride against a major competitor.

The Al-Ahly coach explained that his team succeeded in imposing its control during most periods of the match, noting his satisfaction with the level displayed by the players despite the pressure of consecutive matches.

Yaisle emphasized that winning derby matches is of great importance to the fans and the team, but he also stressed that the league race is still long and resembles a marathon that requires continuity.

The German coach addressed the absence of defender Demiral, explaining that the team will play several matches without his services. However, he expressed his happiness with the development of Saudi defenders like Mohammed Bakr and Rayan Hamed.

Yaisle pointed out that developing local players is an important part of the club's project, emphasizing that the good performance of these players gives the Saudi national team reasons to be proud.

The Al-Ahly coach concluded his statements by emphasizing that hard work in training is the path to winning championships, praising the significant role that Al-Ahly fans play in supporting the team both on and off the field.

Al-Ahli tops the Saudi League standings with 62 points after their victory in the Jeddah Derby in the 25th round.
