Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi confirmed his team's complete readiness for their upcoming match against Al-Fayha in the 17th round of the Saudi Professional League. The match, which holds particular importance for Al-Hilal as they strive to maintain their lead in the standings, will be held at the Kingdom Arena, the club's new home ground.
Intensive preparations at Kingdom Arena
In the pre-match press conference, Inzaghi explained that the team is entering the game with high morale and a strong desire to secure the three points. He said, "We are fully prepared for the Al-Fayha match, and the players are highly motivated to continue our winning streak and extend our lead at the top of the league." These statements come at a time of intense competition in the Roshan League, as the top clubs strive to improve their positions in the standings as the season enters its decisive stages.
The difficulty of the opponent and the importance of points
The Italian coach didn't neglect to praise his opponent, noting that Al-Fayha is not an easy team to beat, known for its organized defense and ability to trouble even the biggest clubs. Inzaghi added, "I warned the players against complacency. The Al-Fayha match requires mental and physical focus for the full ninety minutes. Our goal is clear: to win and continue our journey towards the title, bringing joy to Al-Hilal's fans." This match is doubly important as it comes at a crucial point in the season, where dropping any points is unacceptable to secure the domestic title.
Winter transfer window and team needs
Regarding the transfer market, Inzaghi addressed the winter signings, expressing initial satisfaction with what had been accomplished, but clearly indicating that there were technical shortcomings he was working to address before the window closed. He stated, "I am satisfied with the players who have joined us, but we still have time to strengthen the squad, particularly at right-back, a position that needs reinforcement to ensure the team's defensive and offensive balance.".
Murad Hawsawi and the future plan
The coach concluded by praising the club's management for responding to the coaching staff's requests, emphasizing that work is progressing rapidly to complete the ideal squad. He specifically mentioned Murad Hawsawi, considering him one of the promising players who will make a significant technical contribution to the team in the coming period. This focus on quality signings is part of the club's strategy to compete on all fronts, both domestically and continentally, placing a great responsibility on the coaching staff and players to fulfill the aspirations of the club's vast fan base.
