Tactical Surprise in Al-Nassr Before Facing Al-Najma
The Portuguese Jorge Jesus, coach of Al-Nassr, surprises his team's fans with a notable defensive adjustment during the match against Al-Najma, in the rescheduled tenth round of the Saudi Professional League.
According to what was reported by the newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah," Jesus decided to play the Spaniard Iñigo Martínez in the left-back position instead of his usual position in central defense.
Nawaf Boushal will participate on the right flank instead of Sultan Al-Ghannam, while the duo of Abdulilah Al-Omari and Mohamed Simakan will be responsible for positioning in the center of defense.
In the midfield, Jesus intends to assign the Portuguese Joao Felix the role of advanced pivot ahead of the Croatian Marcelo Brozovic, in a move aimed at increasing offensive effectiveness.
Al-Nassr will host Al-Najma at King Abdullah City Stadium in Buraidah on Wednesday evening at 10:00 PM Saudi time.
Al-Nassr enters the match in second place in the Saudi Professional League standings with 55 points, accumulated from 18 wins, one draw, and 3 losses.
