2-0 for Fenerbahçe at halftime! 😬
Y’all know the admin’s take on Laurent Blanc… but let’s be fair and find him some excuses for this defensive mess.
Ahmed Sharahili is starting after two years out, and there’s no real right-back today. https://t.co/g2xKJb1hjL

Fenerbahçe keeps showing everyone how good they are in the Super Lig with how smart they play and plan their games. In this match, they’re really showing how good they are at taking advantage when the other team’s defense messes up.
Laurent Blanc’s Managerial Challenges
Laurent Blanc who did really good when he was at Paris Saint-Germain, is having a tough time at Al-Ittihad. He started in 2024 and is trying to figure out the Saudi Pro League, where everyone’s looking at how bad his team’s defense is doing. Not having a proper right-back and Sharahili coming back is making things really difficult for their defense.
Blanc’s got to change how the team plays when players come back and fix what’s wrong with their tactics. If you want to know more about what teams in the Saudi Pro League deal with, you should look at what happened with the managers at Al-Hilal.
Ahmed Sharahili’s Return
Ahmed Sharahili starting games again after two years is a big deal for Al-Ittihad. But it’s causing problems cause he’s not match fit and the team’s already having trouble with their defense. They really need Sharahili right now cause they don’t have anyone else who can play right-back properly.
Sharahili coming back reminds people of other players who came back in the Saudi Pro League like Mourad Batna when he played for Al-Fateh which shows how important it is to be fit and in good form. How he plays in the next few games will be super important for making Al-Ittihad’s defense better.
This game shows the bigger problems in the Saudi Pro League where managing your team smart and keeping players fit is really important to do good.
