Portuguese international Vitinha, a player for Paris Saint-Germain, praised the coaching abilities of his compatriot Sérgio Conceição, the current manager of Al-Ittihad Club, emphasizing that working under his leadership had a significant impact on his professional career.

Vitinha explained in media statements that the experience of playing under the supervision of Conceição clearly helped him develop his technical and physical level, making him a more complete player on the field.

The Paris Saint-Germain player pointed out that the Portuguese coach relies on a strict training style, based on tactical discipline and continuous teamwork among all team members.

Vitinha confirmed that Conceição sets high standards during training sessions and matches, and he does not accept anything less than complete discipline from his players, which always drives them to give their utmost.

He added that the coach's philosophy heavily relies on constant pressure and precise execution of tactical instructions, which gives the teams he leads a strong character on the field.

Vitenha was described by the Union coach as a "real football school," noting that he learned from him the importance of commitment, discipline, and teamwork during their joint working periods.

The statement from the Paris Saint-Germain player comes at a time when Conceição is looking to make his mark with Al-Ittihad, having recently taken over the team following the departure of French coach Laurent Blanc.

The Al-Ittihad fans hope that the experience of the Portuguese coach and his European background will help return the team to the path of victories and strong competition in the Saudi Roshn League and the AFC Champions League.
