Cheslav Mikhnevich began his chapter as a coach of the Abha club with a defeat. The team, led by the former coach of the “white-reds”, lost to Al-Hilal at the opening of the Saudi Arabian League. There was no shortage of Grzegorz Krychowiak on the field.
Czesław Mihniewicz took on an interesting task after completing his job as coach of the Polish national football team. The coach led the “white-reds” to the 1/8 finals of the World Cup in Qatar. However, this did not convince the leadership of the PZPN, who decided to part ways with the Polish coach and hire Fernando Santos.
Lost debut of Cheslav Mikhnevich in Saudi Arabia
Admittedly, the transfer offensive of the Saudi clubs this summer has reached a higher level. So far, the most famous Saudi Arabian league player has been Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese decided to move to the football periphery, at least from a European point of view, in December 2022.
CR7 continues to be the face of the transformation of club football in Saudi Arabia. However, several notable figures joined the Portuguese in the summer transfer window. In addition to Cristiano playing for Al-Nasr, fans from Saudi Arabia can watch live, for example, Karim Benzema. That is, the owner of the Golden Ball in 2022, the recent star of Real Madrid. However, the Frenchman decided to move out of Europe. The former Royals sniper has become a player for Al-Ittihad.
Neymar will move to Al Hilal in a few days. The Brazilian chose the Saudis for Paris Saint-Germain, from which Lionel Messi recently “escaped” - however, in the United States. Al-Hilal is a well-deserved club with big money. Although the Brazilian was absent at the opening of the league, M. included another Brazilian, Malcolm, the Portuguese Ruben Neves - and Sergei Milinkovic-Savic. The Serb has been a Serie A star so far, defending the colors of Rome’s Lazio for years.
Al-Hilal started the 2023/24 season with a 3-1 away win over Abha. That is, a team led by coach Mikhnevich. Grzegorz Krychowiak, who joined the team in the summer of 2023, was also in the colors of the hosts of the meeting.
Grzegorz Krychowiak didn’t help stop the favorites
Abha Club compared to Al-Hilal certainly have different goals for the season in league tournaments. Mikhnevich and his team bravely faced the favorites on Monday evening. Before the break, there was still a score of 1:1, but already in the second part, the already mentioned Malcolm summed up his spectacular game. The Brazilian scored a hat-trick.
Interestingly, Krychowiak scored an assist with an honorable goal for Mihnevich’s team. However, the former representative of Poland failed to stop the favorite along with his colleagues. The next rounds will show if Mikhnevich’s marriage to the Saudi league was the right one. For now, you need to bypass taste in the context of the league’s eyes for the inauguration.
