Ahead of the upcoming Riyadh Season Cup 2024 final clash , Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo gave an epic reply to Al-Hilal head coach Jorge Jesus for claiming to win against them by 3-0. Turki Al-Sheikh, Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Chairman, revealed the conversation between the two, wherein Ronaldo gave an epic response to Jorge Jesus.
The comment from Jorge Jesus seemed like a reference to the Saudi Pro League win for Al-Hilal against Al-Nassr by 3-0 in December, which saw Cristiano Ronaldo have an uncharacteristically tough day on the football pitch. In the ongoing domestic league season, Al-Hilal are seven points clear of Al-Nassr on the points table after winning 17 and drawing two in 19 matches.
Turki Al-Sheikh spoke about the exchange between the Portuguese duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus. Turki said “In my meeting with Jorge Jesus and Cristiano, Jesus said, ‘We’ll beat Al Nassr by 3 goals’. And Cristiano replied, ‘You’ll win by 3 goals only on PlayStation'.”
Jorge Jesus calls Cristiano Ronaldo world-class player
During the build-up to the Al-Hilal versus Al-Nassr clash at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Thursday, February 8, Jorge Jesus called Cristiano Ronaldo a world-class player who has done much in his footballing career. In the ongoing season for Al-Nassr, the 39-year-old has scored 24 goals and provided 11 assists in 25 matches across all competitions.
Jorge Jesus said, “Cristiano Ronaldo is a world-class player, and he has done a lot in his football career, but professionalism in Saudi Arabia has become an important thing, and we must reflect a positive image of Saudi sports in front of Al Nassr.”
