Jaissle lauds Al-Ahli's winning run and explains changes

German coach Matias Jaissle spoke after Al-Ahli's 3-0 win over Neom in the 18th round of the Saudi Pro League.

Key quotes and rotation rationale

He described the match as tough, noting the result came in the final minutes and that his side controlled the game, created chances, and scored three goals—the seventh straight win.

He added there is little difference between seasons, noting last year’s title was the continent’s biggest trophy and this year provides a broader pool of players.

Defender Ryan Hamid is developing noticeably on and off the pitch, becoming a role model in Saudi football; Jaissle hopes the progress continues.

He also praised former Al-Ahli star Hussein Abdul Ghani, saying he read the veteran’s comments with appreciation and gratitude for a club legend.

Regarding travel to Tabuk, the coach joked the cold weather made them feel at home and he looked forward to returning to Jeddah soon.

On Enzo Miu’s involvement, Jaissle explained the schedule was busy, rotating Enzo Miu in place of Firas as part of a broader rotation plan; everyone was ready.

Punchline: If rotations were a sport, Jaissle would win the World Cup of Benches.

Punchline: My jokes rotate faster than the players—benches included.
