Regarding the victory over Al Ain, he said: “I am happy with the victory for the sake of the fans and the players, especially the Saudi players. Most of the match was played by local players, and this is a source of happiness.”
Blanc explained, saying: “I was not afraid to include the substitutes. I have great confidence in the entire group, and I believe in the abilities of all the players.”
The coach added Union“We have four players who arrived on September 2, and there are players who arrived on September 8, and this is a large percentage of the team, so we need time. Bergwijn has not played much, and we are still getting to know the characteristics of the team, and this is something that needs time.”
He continued: “We are also working on the team spirit. Danilo did not play much, Bergwijn is at Ajax, and Abdulelah Al-Amri is at Al-Nassr. In my personal opinion, this is the truth and not an excuse. We need time to work.”
