Saudi Professional League Clash: Al-Taawoun Prepares for Crucial Match Against Al Najma

Al-Taawoun's squad is largely injury-free. Key players like Jiang Guangtai, Li Shuai, Yan Junling, and Leonardo did not start in the previous match, although substitute goalkeeper Chen Wei has been performing well. Al Najma, however, will be without Lechet and Wei Shihao due to injuries, while goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo has been rotated. The substitutes are reportedly weak, and the starting players are feeling the strain. Al-Taawoun's coach, Slutsky, mentioned in a pre-match press conference that the team is focused on the league due to the recent break and will field a strong lineup for this match. The coach also faces pressure, especially after results from other teams. Al Najma held a pre-match training session. Following the training, Slutsky held a press conference, emphasizing the importance of the league with the break allowing the team to focus on preparation. He stated that the team will field its best lineup, aiming for a good performance and a positive result. The focus is on a good mentality and tactical approach.
