Jesus talks about Al Hilal's landslide victory over Al Orouba
Hilal coach Jorge Jesus spoke about the landslide victory his team achieved over Al-Orouba today.
Al Hilal won over its counterpart Al Orouba with a score of 5-0 in the 14th round of the Saudi Professional League.
Jesus said in the press conference after the match: “Whoever watches the result thinks it is an easy match, but the quality of Al Hilal’s players made the match difficult for the opponent, by preventing him from reaching the goal.”
He added: “I think we fought the Al-Orouba match in the same style as the Al-Ittihad match, but the difference is that the opponent was different, and from my point of view, Al-Hilal performed well in the two matches.” ".
He continued: “Marcus Leonardo is a young player with good potential. He plays primarily as a striker, and he succeeded in proving himself during the matches between Al-Ittihad and Al-Orouba. Today he scored a brace, and he prefers to be inside the penalty area.”
Regarding the injury of Al-Hilal star Al-Dosari, Jesus said: “He felt some pain in the second extra half against Al-Ittihad, because he joined the Saudi national team and played in the Gulf Cup, even though he did not fully recover.”
He continued: “The injury he suffered was a result of physical decline, so we decided to rest him in the Al-Orouba match, and I believe he will be ready for the next confrontation, as he is one of the best players on the offensive side in the Rushen League.”
