Al-Khaleej coach José Gomes reacts to Al-Shabab draw

Al-Khaleej head coach José Gomes described the scoreless draw against Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League as a fair result, given the difficult playing conditions and weather that impacted the match.

Gomes noted that while both teams had genuine scoring opportunities, the overall atmosphere negatively affected the technical performance and final outcome. He urged fans and analysts to view the point positively, considering the strength and quality of the Al-Shabab squad.

However, the Portuguese manager expressed significant concern regarding the upcoming schedule. He highlighted the physical pressure of consecutive matches and travel, specifically noting a disadvantage in rest periods ahead of a match against Al-Hilal, where his team will have significantly less recovery time compared to their opponents.
