The defeat of Al-Ittihad Saudi Club by Al-Riyadh Saudi Club sparked a wide wave of anger among the fans, following the match that brought them together in the 26th round of the Saudi Roshn League at Al-Malaz Stadium.

Sources close to the club revealed that the team did not conduct any training sessions in Riyadh before the match, as Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao decided to suffice with the final training session 48 hours before the game.

This decision sparked discontent among a large number of Al-Ittihad fans, who believed that missing the final training session might have affected the players' readiness before the important league match.

The loss against Riyadh increased the pressure on the coaching staff, especially since it was the team's second consecutive defeat with the same score.

The Union suffered another defeat in the last round against Al-Ahli Saudi, losing three goals to one in the match held at Al-Inma Stadium as part of the league competition.

The Union's score froze at 42 points, placing them sixth in the Roshan League standings, which led to the team moving away from the competition's top four.

Al-Ittihad fans fear the continued decline in results, especially since the team is at risk of missing out on participating in continental tournaments next season if the negative results persist.
