French coach Francois Rodrigues, assistant coach of the Saudi national team, commented on the impact of the absence of his compatriot Herve Renard. Rodrigues noted that Renard's absence is a serious challenge for the team, but he is confident that the coaching staff can handle the situation. He emphasized that the team remains determined to achieve high results and is prepared for the upcoming matches. Renard, who led the Saudis to victory in the 2019 Asian Cup, left his post at the beginning of this year.
