I am looking forward to the match after the long break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Asked about preparing for the Asian Champions League fixture, Wissing said his approach remained the same as for any other match.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cMy preparation is like any other match. We are working to correct our mistakes,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to reveal the plan, but we want to score goals. That is our way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Wissing also stressed the importance of improving the quality of his players\u2019 decision-making.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cWe are working to improve the quality of our decisions, and sometimes we lack a bit of luck,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cMaking the right decision at the right time can sometimes be difficult even for world-class players. We are working on it, and it will not happen overnight. It comes through work and repetition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Al-Ittihad midfielder Wijnaldum also acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming match, particularly given the circumstances surrounding the team and the recent events in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cIt will be a difficult match after the recent events,\u201d Wijnaldum said. \u201cOur heartfelt condolences go to the families of those who lost their lives. Despite everything, we are looking forward to the match and to achieving a victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Wijnaldum also referred to the difficult encounter against Al-Hilal, as Al-Ittihad looks to respond quickly on the continental stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Jeddah side will now look to put the disappointment of the league defeat behind them as they turn their attention to their AFC Champions League campaign on Tuesday night in Jeddah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"10:I[67601,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\"],\\\"WebVitalsReporter\\\"]\\n11:I[39683,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2d3jm_azdsoua.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/04hvlg7gpzexw.js\\\"],\\\"SearchForm\\\"]\\n12:I[22016,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2d3jm_azdsoua.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/15zl3gbc-xumt.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2x1ykt3v697lm.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/01qf75_n803dw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0f0ug5mch3pkr.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n13:I[79520,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n14:I[32700,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\"],\\\"ChartbeatTracker\\\"]\\n2:[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"dir\\\":\\\"ltr\\\",\\\"className\\\":\\\"playfair_9b22208d-module__j_-Mhq__className
