Coach of Al Ettifaq: We invested the break to increase harmony

Al Ittifaq has taken advantage of the international break to reorganize and enhance the harmony among its players, especially after new elements joined the team following the conclusion of the external camp, according to the coaching staff's plan.

Arthur de Moura, the coach of Al Ettifaq, stated during the press conference ahead of the match against Al Khaleej that the team focused during the break on preparing for the upcoming challenges.

Babass explained that the preparation program included two parallel tracks: the first was to prepare the team for the resumption of the Saudi Pro League, and the second was to get ready for the upcoming matches of the Gulf Clubs Cup.

The coach of Al Ettifaq pointed out that the technical staff has taken into account the congestion of the match schedule, explaining that the team will play 7 matches within one month, which necessitates the need to maintain the players' readiness.

Al Ettifaq currently sits in 9th place in the Saudi Pro League with 11 points, while Al Khaleej is in 13th place with 5 points ahead of the anticipated clash between the two teams.
