Al-Nassr head coach Stefano Pioli expressed sympathy for his players after their recent 2-2 draw against Al Shabab, which further diminished their chances of winning the Saudi Pro League. Despite a strong performance from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored, the team could not secure a victory, leaving them 10 points behind the leaders. Pioli attributed the lackluster performance to fatigue caused by fixture congestion and reaffirmed his commitment to improving the team's mental readiness and focus for upcoming matches, particularly in the AFC Champions League.
I am sad about the result of the match, and I promise the audience that I will present a better level in the next match.
We have been going through a lot of pressure lately, so we have to prepare the players mentally.
In the last matches, Al Nassr did not score before the opponent, and this made us run after the goal in order to score the equaliser and win.
With the fatigue we're experiencing, we must focus on the next important match in the AFC Champions League.
