Al-Nassr's coach Jorge Jesus praised Cristiano Ronaldo, calling him “great example” after his victory in the semi-final of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup against Al-Ittihad.
Portuguese international Ronaldo got closer to his first trophy in Saudi Arabia after helping Al-Nassr beat Al-Ittihad 2-1 on Tuesday. After the victory, coach Jesus stressed the importance of the former Manchester United player.
He declared, via Ojogo: ” Ronaldo is a great example for world football. He is 40 years old and performs athletic and physical performance. And let's not forget that 80 % of the supporters present in the stadium are there thanks to Ronaldo. Al-Nassr deserves to have this world star. »»
Al-Nassr is battu Al-It’s 2-1
Jesus has only been at the head of Al-Nassr for a few weeks, but he has no praise for the former Real Madrid striker. Few of the footballers have continued to play after 40 years, but Ronaldo goes against the tide. He will remain among the greatest players in football history and now hopes to win his first trophy in Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo greeted as a “big example”
The Ronaldo team will now wait to see who, Al-Ahli or Al-Qadisiyah, will qualify for the final of the Saudi Arabian Supercoupe on Saturday. Until then, Jesus hopes that his players will be able to recover for this big meeting.
He added: ” This match exhausted us physically, the humidity was very strong and we played ten, but it is a great victory that gives a lot of confidence to the team. Al Ittihad was created an opportunity and did not create many others afterwards. »»
