Savic responds to the skeptics .. This is the opinion of Guardiola in the star of Al Hilal

Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia starred as a full group in the epic victory over Manchester City in the price of the World Cup football final, and his Serbian midfielder Sergey Milinkovic-Savic, who was chanting the Italian coach, Simone Inzaghi again, was on a date with one of his most prominent matches, offering a performance that responded to the skeptics.
“He is a great player,” said Spanish coach City Pep Guardiola at the press conference of the former Italian Lazio midfielder.
The 30 -year -old was the focus of attention of many English clubs when he was playing in Italy, but he chose to move to Al Hilal in 2023 with a group of stars who were criticized for leaving them with European stadiums early.
Milinkovic-Savic responded after Al Hilal beat Manchester City 4-3 after the extension on Monday in Orlando, saying, “Let’s now if they will criticize us.”
The international midfielder added, “We showed them that it is not as they talk about the (Saudi) league. We have proven this against Real Madrid (Spanish), Salzburg (Austrian), Pachuca (Mexican), and (Monday) as well. I hope we will continue to prove this,” the international midfielder added.
Al-Hilal imposed a sudden tie on Real Madrid 1-1 in the first round, then tied negatively with Salzburg before defeating Pachuca 2-0.
Milinkovic-SAFICIC was not the only one who responded to the criticism, but his Brazilian colleague Marcus Leonardo, 22, who left Benfica, said to join Al Hilal last year ((victory) shows that whoever plays in Saudi Arabia does not hide from the challenges, and does not evade football. There are senior players, and I am very happy with what was achieved today. “
Why reunion
In 2016, Enzagi began his training career about eight years after he retired from playing. His start was from the club in which he concluded his career, Lazio.
Since his arrival at the technical staff, the Italian relied on Milinkovic-Savic, who preceded him to the Capital Club, coming from the Belgian riche.
With Inzaghi, the Serbian won the Italian Cup 2019, the 2017 and 2019 Cup, and won the award for the best midfielder in the Italian League for the 2018-2019 season.
The relationship of the duo was distinguished, but the Serbian who received many offers remained in Lazio after the Atzagi departure to Inter. In light of the interest of the top European clubs in the services of the midfielder, the Italian coach tried to tighten his former player to his new club, according to media reports.
“I made great progress in all respects thanks to him, whether as a player or as a man. Our relationship was excellent, and for his capabilities, it is sufficient to look at his results with Inter,” said Melinkovic-SAFICE in 2022 a year before his transfer to Al Hilal.
With the reunion between the Italian and the Serbian again in Al-Hilal, Inzaghi relied on the Milinkovic-Savic and Portuguese Robin Nevish dualism in the middle of the field.
In addition to his great defensive role and his second duo with the Brazilian Malcolm in Al-Hahoum, Milinkovic-Svic was behind the goal of Al-Hilal’s victory, when he reached a cross in the penalty area, he continued with his head towards the goal, and the Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson turned to her, but she was guilty in front of Leonardo to score the fourth.
An exceptional player
After the match, Milinkovic-Savic responded to Guardiola’s praise, saying, “It is of course great to receive a compliment from a coach like Guardiola. We have shown our real level today. I feel excellent here, we are working well in training while I am in my best physical condition.”
“Now there is also Simoni Inzaghi, whom I know well. All that remains is to believe to the end,” he added.
Infradion praised his player, saying, “There was no need to discover him … He is an exceptional player, able to combine quality and enthusiasm. He ran a lot tonight, as many others did.”
After two years with Al-Hilal, they were crowned with four titles, and a contract that will continue until the summer of 2026, is awaiting whether Milinkovic-Savic will leave the Saudi League after re-highlighting it, or will he complete the march with his old-new coach.
