Sérgio Conceição’s message to Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus after Al-Nassr v Al-Ittihad | OneFootball

Al-Nassr vs. Al-Ittihad ended with a victory for Sérgio Conceição’s team over the side of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus. At the end of the match, the former Porto coach left a message for Jorge Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo, praising the quality of the opponent, despite the win.

“We knew it would be a difficult game because we were facing a strong opponent, with an experienced coach and great knowledge of the Saudi league. We only won because we were very well prepared for the match, but we just won a game, we haven’t achieved anything yet,” Sérgio Conceição began by saying.

“[Jorge Jesus] was once again my opponent, something that has happened several times in recent years. I have the utmost respect for Jesus. He was my coach when I was a player and, for me, he is one of the five best in the history of Portuguese football,” said Sérgio Conceição, praising the former Benfica coach.

“Throughout his career, Jorge Jesus has done exceptional work. He has won with every team he has coached,” Sérgio Conceição concluded, leaving very positive words about the Al-Nassr coach, who manages Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix – who has been in great form – in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Nassr will be back in action next Saturday at 5:00 PM, hosting Al-Fayha. The match is part of the seventh round of the Saudi Premier League. The team of Jorge Jesus, Cristiano Ronaldo, and João Félix is the sole leader of the competition, with 18 points, one more than second-placed Al-Taawoun.
