Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, head of Al-Nassr, confirmed that the match against Al-Ettifaq was one of his team's best games this season, describing the encounter as enjoyable for both sides despite Al-Nassr's dominant control. He explained that football does not always reward the superior team, noting that the statistics and overall performance were in his team's favor.

Jesus said during the post-match press conference: "The most important thing is that we did not lose. The opponent played well and relied on quick counterattacks." He added that the team will return to Riyadh to prepare for the upcoming matches and focus on what lies ahead.

The Al-Nassr coach expressed his satisfaction with the level of performance and chance creation, emphasizing that he does not agree with opinions suggesting the team needed a "shock." He clarified that Al-Nassr has won all its matches except for one draw, which reflects consistency in their performance.

Jesus talked about offensive options and involving certain players, saying that having big names like Ronaldo, Wesley, João, and Coman makes it difficult to find substitutes of the same caliber.

Emphasizing that his technical decisions are based on readiness, and that including Saad Al-Nasser was not the reason for losing points, as he is the most familiar with the condition of his players.
