“The Saudi player is reliable.” Will Dennis debunk Renard’s theory at the World Cup?

Since his return to Saudi Arabia, France’s Herve Renard has not hesitated to point out one of the biggest challenges facing Al-Akhdar is the decline in playing minutes for local players following the growing reliance on overseas stars from the Roshan professional league.

Renard has more than once considered that the high level of competition in the Saudi League has given a lot of strength to the competition, but in return it has affected the fitness of many Saudi players in terms of continuous participation or maintaining the format of the game, which in some periods has been reflected in the level of the team.

But on the other hand, Greece’s Georgios Donis came with a completely different vision, after he expressed full confidence in the Saudi player’s capabilities, stressing that the current elements have enough quality to make a quick transition at national team level in a short period of time.

Between the two views, an important question arises ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Can Dennis prove that the green crisis was not in the players, but in the way they work and manage?
