Former Al-Ettifak stars have confirmed that their team’s remaining league matches are considered cup ties, which are only allowed to win if the deal wants to continue in the big leagues.
At first, former Ettifaq star and technical analyst Hamad Al-Dubaihi considered the match between Al-Ettifaq and Al-Hilal to be very important for the two teams, as it is a key one for each of them.
He added that an agreement with the outside camp had been prepared ahead of today’s fight while Al Hilal continued to play at a high pace in the AFC Champions League group stage.
He continued, both teams will be under a lot of pressure, but each of them will come to the match in good spirits, after winning the last round, agreeing to cooperate (4-0) and Al Hilal include you (4-2). ). Al-Debihi explained that Al-Ettifaq would play conservatively, hoping to score through fast rebounding, which is the preferred style of play for French manager Cartieron.
Diaz prefers possession of the ball and intense attacking pressure from all sides with a build-up of attack from the middle of the field. Al-Dabaikhi indicated that the return of Al-Hilal players Salman Al-Faraj and Salem Al-Dosari would complete the squad. Al-Dabaikhi ruled out that the match would end in a draw because it would not help the two teams reach their goals at this stage in the life of the league.
For his part, Jamal Al Ruwaish, one of the members of the golden generation of the agreement, wished that the Al Ittifaq players took advantage of the technical shock that Al Hilal experienced after the Al Faiha match and also had to trust their opportunities, especially after the excellent result with which the team completed the last round match against Al-Taawon.
Al Ruwaish indicated that all Al Ittifaq matches starting today against Al Hilal are considered cup matches where only a win is accepted so that the team can continue playing with the seniors.
