We have two Portuguese players, who are friends of the deceased, and today was difficult for everyone. We tried to work together and move forward."

Inzaghi explained that his players were prepared from the moment he arrived, saying: "From day one, I found beautiful behavior. I found an excellent group ready to work and understanding the principles I want to establish. The club supports me every day."

At the end of his speech, he addressed the Al Hilal fans, saying, "I thank them profusely. They were present in large numbers and with great influence, and we felt their support."
