""I've already been at Al Hilal," Jorge Jesus said. "I've been on the other side, so I know what that's like. I've already benefited from it. They have more economic power. When I was there, I benefited as a coach. It's normal. Al Nassr, with different resources, has to compete for the top spots. We have to continue to be strong.""
""That's why I was hired, to reduce the gap between Al Hilal and Al Nassr, in terms of titles and points," the Portuguese coach said. "And that's what we're doing. We have a lot of confidence in Al Nassr's structure, a structure that, little by little, is increasingly managing to balance the group. "But not only the group of players who play, but also a group off the field, a team that is aware of the difficulties, a team that knows it will be fighting against opponents with greater economic power, not sporting power.""
Al Nassr secured a 2-0 win at Al-Fateh, maintaining pressure on league leaders Al Hilal and marking Cristiano Ronaldo's return after a two-game protest. Jorge Jesus acknowledged that Al Hilal has greater economic power and emphasized that Al Nassr must find ways to compete despite different resources. Jesus said his hiring aimed to reduce the gap in titles and points and that confidence in Al Nassr's structure is growing. He stressed that improvement involves both the on-field squad and an off-field team aware of financial disparities and determined to compete.
