Jorge Jesus: The Saudi League is Broadcast in 50 Countries
Wednesday 08-10-2025
Portuguese Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al-Nassr, appeared to discuss the joining of his compatriot Joao Felix, the team's winger, to the Roshen Professional League.

Jesus said: "Joao Felix is a wonderful player; he is a talented player who chose a better league. He became globally famous in Portugal, but the Saudi league is broadcast in 50 countries. He chose a stronger and more competitive league than the Portuguese league."

He also touched on the title race in Portugal during the Portuguese Football Awards ceremony, stating: "It has just begun. Porto is much stronger than last year, Benfica has added individual value, and there are many new players."

He added: "On the other hand, Sporting has maintained the same lineup and lost one of its key players, Gyokeres. It will be a battle between the three teams, but Porto is undoubtedly stronger than last year."

Regarding the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the new head coach of Benfica, when asked if he was surprised, he replied: "No, because Benfica is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. He was a head coach at Fenerbahce, where I also worked, and I believe this change is for the better."

About the Porto and Benfica derby that took place last week, he said: "It is always a different match. It was a very close match tactically, where tactical creativity prevailed over individual creativity, resulting in a draw."
