The head of the Saudi Crescent clarifies the fate of Lucescu after the recent failures
The president of the Saudi Al Hilal Club, Fahd bin Nafal, said that what is rumored about the desire of the Romanian coach Rizafan Lucescu to obtain the penalty clause in order to leave the team's training is not true.
He said in an interview with "SBC": "We will not anticipate the events in the decision to leave or stay the coach, and at the end of the season the results will be happy for the Al Hilal fans. The coach works and is able with the players to achieve the aspirations of the public, and we are in a low stage after a season we started without preparation." ".
The league title holders Al Hilal is going through a bad period, having won an orphan time in their last seven matches.
Bin Nafel added: "It is not true that the injuries (occur) during the exercise and I wish Salman Al-Faraj will recover, and his absence will become clear after the operation."
Al-Hilal is currently ranked third, 5 points behind leaders Al-Shabab and 3 from Al-Ahly II.
"We have submitted a request for Al Hilal Club to host the matches of our group in the Asian Champions League," which includes UAE youth Al Ahly Dubai, Esteghlal Dushanbe of Tajikistan, the winner from Qatari Al Gharafa and the Uzbek AJMK, revealed, "We have turned the page of the past and are working to win the Asian title this season."
It is noteworthy that the East and West matches within the group stage will be held in the grouping system due to the repercussions of the Corona virus.
And the president of Al Hilal continued: "The Peruvian player Andre Carrillo is bound by a contract with the club and continues with us, while the exit of Nawaf Al-Abed was a technical decision and the technical staff in the team was the one who recommended a contract with Abdullah Al-Hamdan from the beginning of the winter period, while Italian Sebastian Govinco will have a year with the club."
"Brazilian Alex Taksera was one of Al Hilal's goals, and some leaks damaged the contract file with him," Ben Nafel explained.
And he added, "Al-Hilal will be a competitor and we will win the league. Al-Hilal is a global team, and the retreat happened in big clubs, and we work day and night to get out of this decline."
Al-Hilal faces, without its injured player Salman Al-Faraj, its low-ranking host Al Ain with its new Spanish coach Pablo Machin at the King Saud Sports City Stadium in Al-Baha, tomorrow, Tuesday, in a postponed match from the sixteenth stage, due to his Super Cup, which he lost to Al-Nasr last Saturday.
The first match that brought them together in Riyadh, ended with Al-Hilal winning 1-0, scored by Ali Al-Blaihi.
Al-Nasr looks forward to continuing its strong performances and results when it comes to the 13th conquest at Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium in Al-Ahsa.
After a bad start, Al Nassr is sixth, 11 points off the pace.
The Al-Asmi team managed to avoid losing in the last eight matches and advanced from the penultimate to sixth place, as well as being crowned the Super Cup at the expense of its rival Al Hilal.
The team ranks will witness the return of Ali Al Hassan and Abdel Fattah Asiri, while Abdul Rahman Al Obaid's efforts will be missed due to injury and the Brazilian Petros due to the accumulation of cards.
