Al Nassr has a string of good results. The Riyadh club returned to victory and qualified for the round of 16 of the Saudi Arabian King’s Cup.
Moments after Al Nassr’s victory over Ohod Club (1-5) on Monday, coach Luís Castro praised the team’s attitude in the second half, which ensured their qualification for the round of 16 of the Cup of the King of Saudi Arabia. He also explained the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo on the match sheet by choice.
“Cup matches are always full of surprises. It almost happened in the first half, but we got what we wanted in the end with a great victory, that’s what counts.”he said, in statements cited by Desporto AO Minuto.
“We rested Cristiano Ronaldo and Brozovic to control their fatigue levels. You see, they did an internship in Japan, another in Portugal, then they started the Arab Champions League, the championship and the Asian Champions League. It was my choice and I think it was the right time for them to rest,” he added.
As a reminder, after 7 matches in the Saudi Pro-League, Al Nassr is not as well off as one might think. Cristiano Ronaldo’s club is 5th with 15 points.
