The match between Esteghlal y Al Nassr for the group stage of the 2024/25 AFC Champions League the Tuesday, October 22, 2024. Both teams are looking to secure their place in the next phase of the tournament, and it will be a key match at this stage of the championship.
Below we leave you with the possible Al-Nassr for this AFC Champions League match:
BY: BENTO – The Brazilian goalkeeper is firm in his position and is indisputable for Pioli. He is a goalkeeper with excellent reflexes and control of the area. In addition, it is a good command voice for the order of the line of defenders.
LD: AL-GHANNAM – He is characterized by being a careful footballer to escalate the attack. He is an agile player with great speed, offering offensive options on the wing. On a defensive level, he has good vision and the ability to anticipate rivals.
DFC: TAKE CARE – The 24-year-old Frenchman arrived in the last market after having worn the RB Leipzig shirt in the previous four years. The one who emerged from Strasbourg is a footballer who, if he continues to progress, can find an important place in Europe without major problems in the future.
DFC: LAPORTE – This is possibly the Saudi team’s main bastion in defence: the Spanish international brings experience and personality to the last line. He has a good aerial game and the ability to dominate the ball from the first meters of the field.
TO: AL-NADJI – He is a fast and young footballer, at 21 years old he is already an interesting option for Stefano Pioli in the formation of his starting teams. Al-Nassr placed their hopes in this player: they bought him from Al-Fateh for more than four million euros in August.
MC: AL-KHAIBARI – The 28-year-old midfielder was a World Cup player in 2018 and undoubtedly brings good experience to the team’s second line. He arrived at Al-Nassr from Al-Shabab at the beginning of 2019. He brings a brand and presence to the team.
MC: BROZOVIC – The Croatian international is the lynchpin of the game in Pioli’s team and his quality helps make difficult things easy. He nourishes his teammates with good balls and commands the footballers who accompany him both in offensive and defensive aspects.
ED: OTÁVIO – He is creative and dynamic, adding play to the Pioli team’s half of the field. He is skilled with the ball at his feet and knows how to quickly find his teammates in the offensive transition. He is a great assistant.
MCO: TALISCA – The Brazilian playmaker is one of Al-Nassr’s main threats in attack. His powerful long-distance shot and his ability to head make him an unbalanced player. Furthermore, his height and physical presence make him dominant in set pieces, both in defense and attack.
HEY: MANÉ – In his last move to Bayern Munich, the Senegalese is one of the team’s figures and contributes what he already gave to the Bavarians and Liverpool. The explosion in attack, the ability with the ball and his nose for goals make him a crucial footballer in the coach’s team.
DC:CRISTIANO RONALDO–The area reference does not need further introductions or descriptions: he is one of the heaviest names in the sport and a born and relentless scorer. His countless records and awards endorse him as one of the best in history, while his validity is demonstrated match by match.
