Portuguese coach Sérgio Conceição, the head coach of Saudi Arabian club "Al-Ittihad," sharply criticized his team's performance following a 2-4 away loss to Qatar's "Al-Duhail" in the AFC Champions League. Conceição's team was trailing 0-4 at one point, but managed to score two goals near the end of the match.
During the post-match press conference, Conceição did not hide his disappointment. "On the field, there wasn’t a team, just a collection of names.
This has happened for the first time in my coaching career. I am 50 years old (he turned 51 on November 15), but, honestly, even I could run at the pace my players showed today.
I hope the fans will forgive us for this game. That’s all I have to say for now," the coach told TMW in an interview.
Currently, "Al-Ittihad" ranks 8th in the Western Region standings with 6 points from 5 matches and continues to compete for playoff qualification.
