English coach Steven Gerrard has put pressure on his leaders at Al-Ettifaq in order to have reinforcements during the transfer window.
Al-Ettifaq coach, Steven Gerrard, judges that his squad is not sufficiently provided with qualities. He wants new blood and quickly.
Gerrard’s pressure strike
The Liverpool legend is under pressure due to his side’s poor results. Al-Ettifaq are mid-table in the Saudi Pro League and results are increasingly declining over time.
Gerrard believes the club must be ‘ruthless’ in their January transfer plans: “We must demonstrate during this transfer window and also during the summer that we are serious and that we want to be competitive at the top of the championship, and not where we are currently. »
This surge of pressure may not be to the taste of management, which has already invested during the summer by recruiting Moussa Dembélé and Jordan Henderson in particular. But Gerrard doesn’t care. “ We hope to be able to make significant changes to the team and group and that at the end of January we will see a different, stronger and more competitive team. We have to be ruthless and make many changes to make this team more competitive.”he added.
