The head coach of Saudi Al-Hilal, Simone Inzaghi, refused to give his players a rest, despite securing qualification for the AFC Champions League knockout stage three rounds before the end of the group stage, following their fifth consecutive victory the day before yesterday. Al-Hilal won 4-0 against the Iraqi Police to maintain their perfect record in the tournament, while Inzaghi (49 years old) confirmed his intention to maintain the winning momentum until the end of the group stage, with topping the standings as a main goal. Inzaghi said in a press statement: "It was a good game, and I salute the players, I am happy with the performance of the starters and the substitutes, and the important thing is that we continue to work hard, and we have an important match on Saturday (against Al-Fateh in the King's Cup quarter-finals)".
