“I was very happy when Al Nassr contacted me because I wanted to start a new experience, different from the 20 years of coaching I had in Italy. They convinced me because Al Nassr is an important club; they have ambitions.”
“Because the management I spoke to, I felt confident, I felt that they want to grow and want to improve. The fact that Cristiano was in the team was also an important thing, and so I accepted very willingly, with a lot of enthusiasm, with a great desire to be able to do well.”

“We are very motivated to try to be competitive, to try to win. Al Nassr is a big club, a historic club in Saudi Arabia. It is clear that we have very strong rivals, but we want to reach that level.” “It is clear that since I started - that was 25 years ago - I have changed a lot. Each experience has taught me; each group. Each team is different; each player is different".

“I had no luck at all, neither me, nor Neymar, nor Al-Hilal. He spent 15 months at the club with a very serious injury, which took him out of the team. He was the best player I worked with. Technically, when he had the ball, he did things that made me say: ‘How does he do that?’. We didn’t have much time to show everything he has”. “A good professional, a good friend to his teammates, not a star. Simple, but the fact is that things didn’t work out. That’s the truth, but I feel frustrated sometimes, talking to myself. How come I couldn’t get this player, who is a superstar, to do well?” “He left sadly, especially with me, I know. It was hard for me, it still is hard for me today, because he is a star. He is out of the box".

Al-Nassr's likely starting line-up for the clash with Al-Hilal on Friday is set to be: Bento; Simakan, Lajami, Al-Fatil, Alnajdi; Angelo, Al-Hassan, Brozovic, Mane; Duran, Ronaldo.

Al-Hilal's probable line-up for the clash with Al-Nassr is expected to be formed by: Bono; Yami, Tambakti, Koulibaly, Lodi; Neves, Kanno; Cesar, Malcolm, Al-Dawsari; Leonardo. Al-Hilal will be looking for a win to catch up with leaders Al-Ittihad.

Right-back Nawaf Boushal will serve a suspension and is therefore out of the match. Mohamed Simakan is likely to be used as a makeshift player, with Mohammed Al-Fatil joining the back line as a centre-back. Wingers Angelo and Sadio Mane will try to help the attacking duo of Jhon Duran and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al-Hilal's defensive sector has Kalidou Koulibaly and Hassan Al Tambakti in the defense of coach Jorge Jesus' team, in addition to Hamad Al Yami and Renan Lodi on the wing. The midfield continues to be formed by Ruben Neves and Mohamed Kanno. In attack, Marcos Leonardo will play alongside Malcolm in an attacking midfielder position. Kaio Cesar and Salem Al-Dawsari will provide width.

Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr face each other on Friday (04), at 3 pm, at the Kingdom Arena. The match is valid for the 26th round of the Saudi Pro League. Follow the live broadcast of the match with us on VAVEL.
