Sports media personality Imad Al-Salmi provided decisive advice for Al-Nassr players before their match against Esteghlal Tehran in the AFC Champions League. He emphasized the need to intelligently address the opponent's strengths to ensure superiority in the match.

Al-Salmi pointed out the danger posed by the duo Alireza and Mehran Ahmad in the Esteghlal lineup, urging Al-Nassr players to close spaces in front of them. He confirmed that the duo Al-Hassan and Brozović could effectively execute this task, thereby reducing the threat of the opponent's attacks.

He also explained that Sadio Mané should move towards the depth of the pitch to enhance offensive effectiveness. He stressed that Al-Nassr's full-backs require additional support from the midfield to ensure control over the flow of the match.

Al-Salmi added that Al-Nassr players must have the audacity to shoot from outside the penalty area, noting that this weapon could be decisive against Esteghlal Tehran. He clarified that the team has capable names to execute this, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, John Durán, Brozović, and Sadio Mané.

Al-Salmi affirmed that Esteghlal's defensive weakness in dealing with long-range shots gives Al-Nassr an ideal opportunity to exploit this gap. He emphasized the importance of applying these ideas to ensure victory and continue the Asian journey strongly.
