  /  autty

Following Saudi Arabia's 0-4 defeat to Spain in the second match of the FIFA World Cup group stage, Saudi international Hamdan spoke to Al Riyadh newspaper.

On the match

"First, we feel as bad as you do, perhaps even worse. We wish we could have performed better."

On Renard Coaching Tunisia

"Now is not the right time to discuss this. We are in a critical period, and our campaign is not over yet. We still have a crucial match to play."

"I can tell you that this coach has been away from us for a long time, and this is also the first time we have implemented this style of play. I could make many excuses, but now is not the time for them."

On Qualification Prospects

"We have a crucial match in four days, and we came here with only one objective: to advance to the next round. The outcome of our final match is in our hands; if we lose, it means we do not deserve to be here at all."
