Jorge Jesus thrashes Al Taawon, warns: We weren’t at our best | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus directed his new club at Al Taawon - Al Nassr last Friday, August 29. After his stint at Al Hilal, the former Benfica coach arrived in Riyadh this summer to manage the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix, who debuted in the championship with a 5-0 victory, which included a hat-trick from the forward trained at Seixal Campus.

At the end of the match, the former forward of Benfica received some words from Jorge Jesus, who praised the player and spoke of the influence he could have at Al Nassr: ""João Félix is currently the league's top scorer, with three goals, and we all know that he has played for big clubs".

"We know he will contribute a lot this season", he added, about the 25-year-old player who shone at Al Taawon - Al Nassr, after being signed from Chelsea this summer, for a fixed 30 million euros plus 20 for objectives. Remember that the forward was close to moving to Benfica.

After addressing the Portuguese international, Jorge Jesus gave an analysis of the team's state, after the victory at Al Tawoon - Al Nassr: ""I've been at Al Nassr for a month now and we've played two high-level matches in the Super Cup. Today we didn't play at the level I wanted, but the team was in good physical shape".

"This was our first championship game and our goal was to win and get a positive result against a strong opponent. I think it was the potential of the players that helped us achieve this victory and, over time, we will reach the level we aspire to", Jorge Jesus concluded.
