Jorge Jesus speaks after breaking Al-Hilal's sequence: “There is no…”

After winning 34 consecutive matches, the Al-Hilal ended the positive sequence that resulted in the world record for victories in men's football, last Wednesday, 17th. The defeat came in the game against Al-Ainin a match valid for the semi-finals of the Asian Champions Leagueby the score of 4 to 2. At the press conference, Jorge Jesus talked about the team's performance. One of the questions was possible overconfidence, but the Portuguese denied it.

“There is no such thing as overconfidence. In football, you can't control what happens in a match. We are not used to conceding four goals, we have to analyze what happened and correct it”said the coach.

Despite the defeat, Al-Hilal remains alive in the search for a place in the Asian Champions League final. With the game back in Riyadh, the Saudi team needs to win by at least two goals to take the decision to extra time. Jorge Jesus believes that the team can achieve this turnaround.

Nothing has been decided, we still have the game in Riyadh”concluded.

Al-Hilal pauses its participation in the Saudi League and returns to action only next Tuesday, the 23rd, against Al-Ain, starring in the second game of the semifinal.
