Jesus: Nafbakhor deliberately wasted time.. and I am not worried about the draw
Jesus spoke in the press conference after the end of the confrontation with Navbakhor, saying: “The match was difficult, if it can be called a match, because the team we faced deliberately fell repeatedly to waste time and break the rhythm, and I am not accustomed to playing against this type of team.”
He added: “Due to the opponent’s repeated wasting of time, our players lost their focus in the match, and some players did not perform at their usual level, especially Salman Al-Faraj and Saud Abdul Hamid.”
He continued: “I have been coaching for 35 years, and in my life I have never seen a team waste time like the Navpahor team, and I am not worried about the draw because it was not a normal match in the first place.”
The Portuguese coach continued, saying: “Navbajor did not enter the match to play football. All they did was against football, repeatedly falling and wasting time amid leniency from the referee who did not seek to control this matter.”
Jesus concluded by saying: “The reason we finished with a draw was not a result of their defensive discipline, but rather due to matters far from football.”
