Let's talk about Saudi Arabia. I was impressed by Saudi Arabia before the tournament started and by the way they were able to play. It was logical based on the type of players they have: short passing distances, a clear tendency to progress through short combinations by overloading the left side, and great protection during defensive transitions. It was also quite impressive considering their coach, Georgios Donis, was appointed only a few weeks ago. I felt the first half against Uruguay was impressive, and they played the type of football that suits them best. I have mentioned it many times, but the overloads they created on the left side with Abu Al-Shamat, the right winger, crossing the whole pitch to combine there, showed very clearly their intentions. With their 4-2-3-1 structure in possession and a 4-4-2 defensive shape, Saudi Arabia had some very good moments with the ball in the first half vs Uruguay. They were able to get players like Salem Al-Dawsari, Musab Al-Juwayr, and Abu Al-Shamat involved in short combinations in tight spaces, and you could see they have technical quality. Later, Saudi Arabia lacked more presence in the final third and were not clinical enough to score goals, but at least there was a clear idea to build on. Also playing in short distances between their players allowed them to counter-press more effectively. Another player who impressed me was Mohammed Kanno. He had enough quality to combine with the rest of the team, but he was also very important in bringing physicality to the midfield, winning duels and helping Saudi Arabia recover the ball many times. This allowed them to keep attacking. The issue is that Saudi Arabia were not able to play like that again during the tournament, apart from that first half against Uruguay. In the second half, Uruguay’s intensity and rhythm caused them many problems. Saudi Arabia ended up defending deeper and were not able to counter-attack effectively, as they do not really have players who can attack large spaces in transition. They struggled to cope with the physical demands and intensity of the match. Then, against Spain, Saudi Arabia changed to a more defensive 5-4-1 shape, leaving out important players such as Abu Al-Shamat and Mohammed Kanno from the starting line-up. The 5-4-1 did not work well, mainly because it was clear that the team was not comfortable defending in this structure. Some players were following more zonal references, while others were looking for more man-to-man references and following their opponents. This created spaces for Spain to penetrate through the Saudi defensive block, because of a lack of clarity and organization. These types of matches are very difficult for Saudi Arabia because they are not a team naturally suited to defending in a low block. This is probably one of the reasons why former coach Hervé Renard tried to keep the defensive line very high. In the last game against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia had an opportunity to show that they could be a dominant side with the ball. However, my feeling was that some of their best players were missing, such as Abu Al-Shamat and Musab Al-Juwayr, while Mohammed Kanno was used as a number 10, a role where he looked uncomfortable. Mohammed Kanno is a centre midfielder. The offensive dynamics that allowed Saudi Arabia to control possession disappeared, and the team looked far away from its identity. I understand these are young players, but they have quality to play. Considering Saudi Arabia’s ceiling, it would have been better to trust them in this type of match and give them experience for the future. What is also true is that Saudi Arabia lack athleticism compared to many opponents. When games become more open, especially in the second half, teams like Uruguay and Cape Verde were physically stronger. This is a reality they need to consider. Saudi Arabia cannot handle transitional or chaotic matches as well as other teams because they will often be physically outmatched. Therefore, the more possession they can have, and the more compact they can remain both with and without the ball, the more they can compensate for their lack of athleticism through collective structure. Their game needs to be based on short combinations, short distances, and keeping players close together so that they can counter-press quickly after losing the ball. Overall, Saudi Arabia were able to compete and draw against Cape Verde and Uruguay, but it wasn't enough to go through the group stage. Their future should be based on a clear playing identity: being a possession-oriented team built around short combinations, short distances between players, a compact defensive structure, and trust in the young players who are emerging.
