Al Hilal’s coach, Portuguese Jorge Jesus, argued that the victory against Al Nassr (3-0)in the big game of the 15th round of the Saudi league, was deserved, which could even have been due to a bigger difference (four or five goals) and relativized the statements made by compatriot Luís Castro, coach of the opposing team, about refereeing.
«Nothing has been achieved yet, it’s just three points and nothing more. If they are demanding a penalty on Ronaldo, they must first understand the law. If the refereeing had been good, we would have won by five goals. I believe that Luís Castro spoke about refereeing only to justify the defeat and I will not comment further on what he said”, said Jesus, in a press conference, highlighting that the advantage in the lead, which is now seven points, does not decide anything in the championship.
«The increase in the difference between us and second, to seven points, does not give us any guarantee that we have decided anything. The league still has many obstacles and the level of competition is difficult,” he said.
«We congratulate everyone on the success of this event in Saudi Arabia. International stars, great crowd presence and a wonderful match,” he said.
The coach also left a question in the air, regarding the absence of Neymar, Al Hilal’s great star, due to injury, talking about the references of the other teams in Saudi Arabia. «What if stars from other teams were absent due to injury, like Neymar? We missed him, but we were not affected as a group and we continued to win victories. What if Ronaldo was absent from Al Nassr, Benzema from Al-Ittihad or Mahrez from Al Ahli? », He shot.
