Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al-Nassr team, spoke about the anticipated match against Al-Qadsiah and revealed updates on the condition of French defender Mohamed Simakan, as well as his opinion on the winter transfer market.

The "Al-Ol Park" stadium will host the Al-Nassr vs. Al-Qadsiah match on Thursday evening, as part of the 14th round of the Roshn Saudi Professional League, in a game where Al-Alami is keen to make a strong comeback.

Jesus confirmed during the press conference that the match against Al-Qadsiah will not be easy, pointing out that the opposing team has strong players and a structure that allows them to compete with the top teams.

The Al-Nassr coach explained that preparations for this match were better than before, as the players completed three full training sessions, after previous periods when the team suffered from a lack of time.

Jesus indicated that Simakan has fully recovered medically and participated in training, but still needs to improve his physical readiness, confirming that his absence from the Al-Qadsiah match means he will be ready for the match against Al-Hilal.

The Portuguese coach also touched on the match schedule pressure, expressing surprise at the refusal to postpone the Al-Nassr vs. Al-Ahli match, considering that it physically affected his team in the last Clasico.

Jesus admitted that Al-Ahli was superior in fitness in the previous match, explaining that the physical factor was decisive in the loss, more than the technical or tactical aspects.

He concluded by emphasizing that the current January period witnesses health stability within the team, noting that strengthening the squad in the winter is difficult, and if no deals are made, Al-Nassr will continue to compete with its current players.
