Jesus: Al-Raed players deliberately wasted time

Hilal coach Georgie Jesus confirmed that Al-Raed's players deliberately wasted time in today's match.

Al-Hilal defeated its counterpart Al-Raed with a score of 3-2 in a match within the framework of the 13th round of the Saudi Professional League.

Jesus said during the press conference after the match: “Since I supervised the team until now, we have not achieved a number of chances as high as 35 chances, like today’s match against Al-Raed.”

He continued: “Al-Raed’s players deliberately wasted time, and this method is not popular anywhere in the world, and I do not want football to be played this way.”

He continued: “In the last ten minutes, we ventured a lot towards Al-Raed’s goal, and played many crosses, and I am happy that we succeeded in coming out with the win.”

And he added: “We will give the team a 7-day leave, after that we will resume training, while I am still waiting for any clear news regarding Salem’s injury. I am waiting for what the medical system will tell me.”

He continued: “We will continue to strengthen the physical aspects after the return of training after the vacation, and we will work to arrange some friendly matches during the break.”

He continued: “I did not like the level of the referee in today’s match. He did not know how to manage the match. We had a penalty kick for interfering with Salem Al-Dosari that was not awarded, and the officials should bring in high-level foreign referees, not have them come to us.” Second-class referees."
