Laurent Blanc talks about the Riyadh match

Saudi Al-Ittihad coach Laurent Blanc spoke about the Riyadh match scheduled for next Thursday as part of the eighth week of the Saudi League.

Blanc said: “I watched Riyadh’s last match and analyzed them, and I know coach Sabri Lamouchi, and there are teams facing us with a cluster at the back, and Riyadh’s team is one of them, and if they play in their defensive style, we must be patient, be patient, and take possession.” .

He added: “I hope we score early, and sometimes these closed matches need a goal at the beginning in order to change and become an open match.”

He continued: “There will be a rotation, especially since we will play 3 consecutive matches against Riyadh, Al-Jandal, and Al-Ahly, and I did it before that, and if I have the opportunity to rotate, I will do it.”

And he added: “The most important thing is always victory, and if the performance was equal in the two halves, there would be nothing to talk about. It is true that sometimes we suffer in the first half and this is because some teams cluster, and in the second half we find more solutions.” .
