The Portuguese Jorge Jesus, head coach of Al-Nassr, confirmed the difficulty of the upcoming match against Iraqi Al-Zawraa, and noted that his team is ready for competition.

Jesus said during the press conference: "I am very happy to be in Iraq and I hope the team is ready for the match."

The Portuguese coach added: "The players are very eager to win and they have a strong desire to continue the victories in the Asian championship, and all Al-Nassr players are ready for the match."

Jesus responded to a question about the exclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo from the match list, saying: "I thought that this is the best time to rest Ronaldo."

He continued: "Ronaldo is currently 40 years old, and we fear he may get injured, which is why I excluded him from the match against Al-Zawraa."
