It was Al-Ittihad club, which is sometimes the least important in the football game; This club represents Saudi Arabia, which will host the World Cup in the future, and I thank you for the warm welcome at the airport.

Karim Benzema was with me for 3 years in Madrid, Mourinho brought Fabinho to the senior team and I spent a lot of time with this player. A team that makes us proud to play against them, if the conditions were more natural, maybe the result would have been equal, but we have nothing to do with hard or easy; Ittihad is a high-quality team and we must be high-quality, it doesn’t matter how many goals we concede or score and we must perform well, the opponent team is respectable and we don’t know about the future.
