A new phase of the training: game playing tactics and working with kicking and scoring penalty shots.

The Saudi national team continues to train in Mirlo, Holland under the coach of Paqueta in the coming few days with games against Belgium on May 11th and Togo on May 14th. Under the supervision of the physical fitness coach, the players have been working on their physical capacity for the last 5 days. This is will no doubtfully help the team against tough opponents such Spain and Ukraine. The physical exercise takes the morning time, with the night time used to practice playing ball. Paqueta made players during the night session to practice kicking ball towards the goal keeper with one touch. Further he carried out further practice with free kicks and penalty shots.

Despite the smooth flow of the training, there are experiencing some setbacks. Osama Al Muwwalid, the defender, got injured. There is still some chance for him to return to the team. The Saudi team really needs a player like him, for he with Reda Tuker, Hamad Al Montashiri gives the hopes for a strong Saudi defending.
