Al-Hilal became the only team from Asia to reach the playoff round of the FIFA Club World Cup. The club's newly appointed head coach, Simone Inzaghi, expressed his satisfaction with the result, despite having had little time to get acquainted with his squad.
Details: Inzaghi made it clear that Al-Hilal did not come to the USA just to make up the numbers—they came to compete for the highest honors. Securing a place among the world's top 16 teams is a matter of great pride for him.
Quote: "Our goal was to join the ranks of the world's best teams. It wasn't an easy task, but the team stayed united. They fought through three matches for a big objective... We didn't come here just to have fun; we came to play at the World Cup and wanted to reach this stage.
Now we face Manchester City—one of the strongest teams in the world. It's in matches like these that you can grow and mature as a team, so I'm extremely proud of this," Inzaghi told Reuters.
