“His Performance Is Low” – After Shock Draw With Cristiano Ronaldo Firing Blank Al Nassr Coach Discusses Poor Form of CR7’s Strike Partner

Cristiano Ronaldo led Al Nassr had a chance to keep the pressure on the league leaders Al Ittihad when they played Al Khaleej. However, the club lost more ground with a disappointing draw. Ronaldo seemed to be frustrated after the draw. But Al Nassr’s coach pointed out the differences between the performances of one of Ronaldo’s teammate on the pitch and in training after the game.

Al Ittihad took advantage of Al Nassr sharing the spoils with Al Khaleej. They won their game and increased their lead at the top to five points. It will take a miracle for Al Nassr to overturn the deficit in the remaining five games. They might have to wait one more season for winning the title. Al Nassr last won the Saudi Pro League in the 2018-19 season. 

Al Nassr’s coach concerned with the poor form of Talisca

At one point, Anderson Talisca was in the driver’s seat to win the Golden Boot in the Saudi Pro League this season. The Brazilian was the primary man of the club, especially in the first half of the season. He had 13 goals in his first 15 appearances for the club. Meanwhile, the forward is going through a rough patch recently.

Talisca has scored only three goals in his last eight outings in all competitions for Al Nassr. It has raised concerns over his performances, with many connecting it to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. Talking about it, head coach Dinko Jelicic said, “Talisca is good with Cristiano in training, but in matches his performance is low.”

Jelicic feels the Brazilian is not able to bring his training form to the pitch. He will hope for Talisca and Ronaldo to start scoring goals ahead of the new season. Al Nassr is eyeing a Saudi Pro League title. In their attempt, they have broken the bank to sign Ronaldo, who hasn’t been able to inspire them due to his inconsistent form this season.

What’s next for Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr?

The Saudi Pro League title is slipping away. Only a miracle can help Al Nassr to overturn the five-point lead in the remaining four games. The club will hope to win all the remaining games to end the season on a good note. They were once leading the title race, but a few disappointing results took the lead away from them.

Cristiano Ronaldo would hope to get his goalscoring form back in the remaining games before starting their title charge next season. It will be interesting to see who will be the manager of the Saudi Arabian club next season, with Jelicic being the interim after the sacking of Rudi Garcia.
