Al-Ittihad Struggles Post-International Break Amid Tactical Challenges

Al-Ittihad lost both matches after the extended FIFA international break, conceding five goals in two games. Coach Jens Wiesing’s high-press tactics faltered, leading to defensive gaps and weak pressing. The team’s form dipped significantly compared to before the break. Wiesing faces pressure to adjust tactics or player selection to restore the team’s performance in upcoming Saudi Roshn League and AFC Champions League matches.
