New Al-Nassr head coach Jorge Jesus praised Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in a 2-1 victory against Al Ittihad in the Super Cup semi-final. Despite not scoring, Ronaldo assisted Joao Felix for the winning goal after Sadio Mane put Al-Nassr ahead before his red card. Jesus highlighted Ronaldo's influence, noting that many fans attend matches primarily to see him play. He also commented on the challenging conditions and the significance of the victory against a rival that had previously defeated Al-Nassr twice.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is a great example for world football, a 40-year-old player who delivers athletic and physical performance, and 80% of the fans in attendance are here for Ronaldo."
"For me, the match ended 3-1, and I have nothing to do with the referee's decision; he bears his own responsibility. Al Ittihad created one chance and didn't generate many opportunities after that."
