Al Ahli manager Matthias Jaissle emphasizes the importance of winning the Saudi Super Cup final against Al Nassr.
Al Ahli manager Matthias Jaissle underlined the significance of winning the Saudi Super Cup final against Al Nassr, set to take place on Saturday in Hong Kong.
According to Jaissle, securing an early-season victory is crucial for his team's momentum this season.
He dismissed the notion that Al Ahli's late invitation to the tournament placed them at a disadvantage, emphasizing that the team has adjusted its schedule to represent the club properly.
Additionally, Jaissle noted the familiarity between him and Portuguese tactician Jorge Jesus, who will be facing each other once again in a final.
Despite this history, Jaissle acknowledged that a final presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities.
Furthermore, when asked about forward Firas Al-Buraikan's potential role in countering Marcelo Brozovic's playmaking, Jaissle expressed frustration with the speculation surrounding his player.
Finally, Jaissle remained composed regarding the anticipated support for Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and maintained that every challenge can be turned into an advantage for his team.
