Italian specialist Luigi Di Biagio, appointed head coach of Saudi Arabia's youth national team this year, shared his thoughts about the friendly matches against Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The games will take place on September 5 and 8. According to Di Biagio, the team will try to demonstrate all the knowledge and skills they have acquired recently.
They aim to play effective and result-oriented football. The coach emphasized that his players strive for growth and development, which is an important quality for the team.
The Saudi Arabia national team has been Asian champion once and runner-up twice. Most of their players compete in the local championship.
In the matches last June, the coach involved two legionnaires. Among them are midfielder Abdulmalik Al-Jaber from Bosnia's "Željezničar" club and midfielder Rakan Al-Ghamdi from the Netherlands' "NEC Nijmegen" club.
These players serve to strengthen the team's power.
