Laurent Blanc, the coach of Ittihad, acknowledged the poor level of his team against Al-Fateh in the match held on Thursday evening in the 28th round of the Saudi league.

Al-Fateh won against Ittihad with a score of two goals to none.

Blanc said in the press conference after the match: "We did not perform well on both an individual and collective level, and I believe we did not deserve to win. The opponent played a great match, and I congratulate the coach on achieving victory."

He continued: "I respect all opponents, and I started with a formation that was supposed to be good, but it did not yield results. Al-Fateh was good defensively and in counter-attacks."

He added: "We did not deserve to win, but at the same time, we are suffering from several injuries that affected us, and I do not want to make excuses, nor do I want to talk about this matter at length."

Blanc confirmed: "The individual aspect has always made a difference for Ittihad. We missed this aspect in today's match, and when you lose individual performances, the collective performance is also affected."

He concluded: "The Al-Fateh goalkeeper had an amazing match, and we need to forget what happened in tonight's game and focus on the upcoming match at our home."
