Matchday Triumph and Return to the Summit

The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, head coach of Al Nassr, addressed the supporters after guiding the team back to the top of the Saudi Pro League following a convincing display against Al Hazm.

Al Nassr defeated Al Hazm 4-0 on Saturday, in the 23rd round of the competition.

With this win, Al Nassr climbs back to the summit with 55 points, one point clear of Al Hilal (54), while Al Ahli sits third on 53.

Coach’s Vision and Defensive Solidity

In the post-match press conference, Jesus said: “Nassr had been distant from the title race in recent years, but this season could be different, and we promise the fans a title fight until the end.”

He added: “Being in the lead now is good, but the key is to stay there, and we will continue to work in the same way.”

The coach affirmed that the defensive approach remains unchanged, with a compact block and maximum participation from players, noting the lack of goals conceded in recent matches.

He closed with a confident outlook as the campaign moves toward its conclusion.

Punchline time: If this league were a buffet, Jesus just plated a crown—and the staff forgot to charge for seconds.

Punchline time: They say the trophy hides; Jorge Jesus just texted it, “Meet me at the finish line, I’ve already booked us a victory lap.”
