  "account": "In preparation for their Asian Champions League Elite round match against Shabab Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad coach Jens Wissing emphasized the importance of improving decision-making abilities among his players. Speaking at a press conference, Wissing stated that making the right choices during a game is a significant challenge for even the world's best athletes, requiring continuous effort and repetition to overcome. Al-Ittihad aims to score and secure a positive result, with the team's focus currently centered on correcting mistakes made during their recent loss to Al-Hilal. Wissing acknowledged that Al-Hilal deserved their victory due to their strong performance, but stressed that errors can be rectified in future matches if the team remains diligent in their work. For Shabab Al-Ahli coach André Jardine, his team possesses a robust roster of players and is striving to find the right balance between attack and defense. Despite the squad losing some players during the international break and a dip in form for certain individuals, Jardine affirmed his team's determination to deliver a compelling performance. Eid Khamis, a player for Shabab Al-Ahli, noted that Al-Ittihad will have the advantage of home support in Jeddah, recognizing the influence of the team's passionate fans while stressing the importance of not allowing the crowd pressure to impact their performance.",
