Win Over Argentina Has Not Changed Us, S’ Arabia Renard Insist

Saudi Arabia national team coach Herve Renard insists that his side glorious 2-1 comeback victory over Argentina in their World Cup Group C was just one of three difficult group games, as they prepare to face Poland next on Saturday.

In a post-match media conference, Renard said that the sensational win had done nothing to change the players going into the Poland match.

Renard said: "Nothing has changed. We are still the lowest team in the group in terms of ranking and experience. So nothing changes in our mind or the favourites for the World Cup. We know where we come from and we keep our humility because if we don't have the humility we won't be able to play a good game tomorrow. There is no limit. We love to believe in ourselves. That is the most important in life and in football as well."

The Gulf nation will be without key players in their clash against Poland, including defender Yasser Al-Shahrani, who underwent surgery following a severe facial and abdomen injury in the first match, and captain Salman Al-Faraj.
