Inzaghi lauds Al Hilal's attack after win over Neom.

Post-match reflections from Inzaghi

The Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, for Al Hilal, spoke about victory over Neom in the Saudi Pro League.

He noted the comeback from a one-goal deficit to a 2-0 win, extending their lead after round sixteen.

He stated the attack was excellent with Nunez, Leonardo, and Malcolm, and he regrets they did not score.

He added the forwards were very effective with the trio, and not scoring everything important in this tough phase is regrettable; all teams chase us, so we must improve to keep the lead.

He also said he is happy for Al Hilal fans who hadn't been in Tabuk for a while and thanked them for attending.

He noted Murad Housawi and Ryan are being tracked; their quality is known and they will be additions, though he cannot comment on participation yet.

He said the management aims to sign a right-back; Yamai is good, but more moves are being pursued soon.

Punchline: Even rumors shoot; at least this one hits the net.
