Gallardo praises the “Remontada” of the Jeddah Union
Riyadh: Issa Al-Hakami
Argentine Marcelo Gallardo, coach of Al-Ittihad Jeddah, confirmed his happiness with his team regaining control in its match once morest Al-Wahda and emerging victorious 2-1 at the end of the 21st round of the Saudi League.
He continued: The players made a technical response, and if they had not done so, I would have been worried. They were wonderful, and the fans gave off a positive response that contributed to our victory, and when we improve our handling of the final touch, we will be in a better position.
Regarding the team’s members, Benzema, Hamdallah, and Romarinho, and their technical value in the team’s balance, he said: These are my team’s players, and everything must be drawn according to their capabilities.
Al-Ittihad was able to overcome its deficit in the first half with a goal by Nigerian Ighalo in the 35th minute into a victory in the end with two goals.
Bad luck befell Karim Benzema once more when he missed an early penalty kick that was saved by goalkeeper Mounir Mohammadi in the 10th minute, and the referee canceled a goal by the former Real Madrid striker due to offside.
Moroccan Hamdallah was able to equalize the score for Al-Ameed in the 84th minute with a penalty kick he shot Panenka style once morest his compatriot Al-Mohammadi.
Hamdallah returned to complete his brace in the 90th + 4th minute, with a wonderful assist by Benzema, who scored a second goal for him, but it was disallowed due to the ball touching the latter’s hand.
The 89th minute witnessed the expulsion of Al-Ittihad defender Saad Al-Musa, becoming the first absent from Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad’s “Clasico” on Friday.
For his part, the Greek Donis attributed the loss of his team, Al-Wahda, to the general conditions of the club on the financial level, and the failure to register players in the winter “mercato” because the team was punished by “FIFA.”
Denis was surprised by the scheduling that would make the team face Al-Taawoun following 50 hours, while the opponent had 5 days of rest.
