Enzo Millot’s Blunder Sparks Anger Among Al Ahli Fans in Al Ettifaq Friendly

French midfielder Enzo Millot continues to trigger frustration among Al Ahli Saudi fans after committing a costly error during his team's friendly match against Al Ettifaq, played in preparation for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.

Details of Millot’s Error

During the 31st minute of the match, while Al Ahli was trailing by a goal, Millot made a critical mistake during the build-up phase. After receiving the ball near the edge of the penalty box from goalkeeper Abdulrahman Al-Sanbi, he misplaced a pass directly to Al Ettifaq forward Yasser Al-Shammari, who converted the opportunity into a goal to double the lead.

Fan Outrage and Calls for Departure

The incident sparked widespread criticism among Al Ahli supporters across social media platforms, amplifying earlier frustrations over the player's dip in form toward the end of last season.

A segment of the fanbase had called for Millot’s departure during the current summer transfer window. However, the lack of suitable offers and the player's intention to stay have kept him with the Saudi club.

Increased Pressure Following Kessié’s Exit

Despite spending significant time on the bench last season, the coaching staff may be forced to rely on Millot as a starter in the midfield for the upcoming campaign. This comes following the departure of Ivoirian midfielder Franck Kessié at the end of last season, leaving a key spot open in the squad.

Millot joined Al Ahli last summer from German side VfB Stuttgart, starting strong before experiencing a notable decline in performances.
