Hi Koura – The use of French coach Hervé Renard, coach of the Saudi national team, some Al-Akhdar players in unfamiliar positions, started a wide controversy, because of his contribution to creating tactical surprises for the opponent, which caused the issue.
This case was criticized by Saad Al-Shehri, who was the coach of the Saudi Olympic team, as well as Renard's delay in calling Marwan the journalist, Belgian striker Bershkot, and he describing it as the strangest decision in the history of the French by Al-Ahdar, saying:
“This decision could give an indication of his confidence in the players of the Saudi national team, but the truth proves that we need Marwan Al-Sahafi from the beginning of the tournament, especially since Firas Al-Braikan suffered an injury before the tournament.
“It is possible that you will see more strange decisions than what Renard did in the Gulf Championship.
“The list includes one player in the right-hand position, namely Muhammad Al-Qahtani, and it was up to other players who changed positions to fulfill this role, and held Al-Qahtani as a substitute!
