Historic Nine-Game Streak: Jorge Jesus Sparks Golden Memories with Al Nassr

Jesus Writes History

Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the manager of Al Nassr, etched his name in golden letters in the club's history after guiding his players to a 4-1 win over Al Gulf on Sunday night in round nine of the Roshn Pro League.

With this victory, Al Nassr climbed to 27 points at the top of the standings, having completed the perfect nine-match start, while Al Gulf remained on 14 points in sixth place.

Jesus Writes History

Jesus achieved this win to match his best-ever league start in the Saudi Pro League, dating back to the 2018-2019 season when he led his side to nine straight wins.

Six years later, he replicated the feat, but for Al Nassr, sending a clear message that he isn’t ready to concede the league title anytime soon.

He had left Al Hilal in the previous season to take over Al Nassr at the start of this campaign.

The Story Isn’t Over

The Portuguese coach proved that his attacking philosophy remains alive and his style still makes a difference. Clubs may change, but Jesus remains a constant force.

He helped Al Nassr regain its attacking spirit, confidence, and aura that had waned in recent years.

The team looked like they were facing a fresh test in every match, as Jesus closes in on his old record with Al Hilal.

Today, Jesus has nine consecutive wins and a steadily rising streak, with each game increasing tension, because the next win is not just three points, but a step closer to a historic milestone.

A Tough Phase

Teaching his squad to stay on top will be a critical challenge as the season intensifies, with the club leading Roshn Pro League on 27 points and chasing glory in the AFC Champions League 2.

The coming period will require careful squad management, rotation, and focus to maintain peak readiness amid a congested schedule and growing competition from rivals like Hilal, Al Ahli, and Al Ittihad.

Defensive gaps observed in some games demand attention, because even a minor lapse can decide high-stakes matches in Asia, where margins are thinner and the stakes higher.

Ultimately, physical load and mental preparation will be pivotal as the calendar tightens—injuries could reshape plans, and quick adaptation will be essential for continued success.

Punchline time: Bang, nine wins and counting—Jesus didn’t just find the net; he opened a souvenir shop for trophies.

Punchline two: If records were tickets, Jesus just filled the stadium—and my excuses for not starting the gym, well, they’re still in the nosebleeds.
