Inzaghi to shift philosophy as Al-Hilal weigh Malcom, Nunez and Cancelo futures | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi says Al-Hilal will adopt a more attacking approach this season, while keeping options open on squad changes involving Malcom, Darwin Nunez and Joao Cancelo. The Roshn Saudi Pro League campaign starts against Al-Faisaly on Friday.

He confirmed the market is still open and that discussions continue with the sporting management, declining to name possible arrivals or exits. Goal.com reports that club officials are continuing to work on several files.

Several players joined late after World Cup duty, which Inzaghi called a natural situation that will not affect preparations. Training remains in the evening for now, though he is willing to adjust the schedule.

Outlining his philosophy, the Italian said the side will look to take the initiative, a tweak that could reshape roles among his forwards.

At the back he backed Kalidou Koulibaly’s physical readiness after recent sessions. Ali Al-Bulaihi is training normally and Inzaghi intends to rotate to give young players opportunities.

He stressed the need for a strong start and respect for Al-Faisaly. Questions remain over the final squad list and transfer business as the opener approaches.
