Former Al-Nassr forward Talisca said he “knows where the real mistake is” after the club fell nine points behind the leaders of the Saudi Al-ITtihad championship with their first defeat to Al-Orobah on Friday.
Although it has five times Ballon d’Or Winner Cristiano Ronaldo and £ 65 million new signature Jhon duran In the attack, Stefano Pioli’s side suffered a second loss in three league games as former Burnley and Charlton Midfielder Johann Gudmundsson scored the winner for the second team in the second level of last season.
“(Duran) is a great player and he will do a lot for this club,” said Talisca, who left the Fenerbahce Club on January 29, responding to a list of statistics by former Aston Villa striker from the game published by the BYNASS.
He is a great player and will do a lot for this club. The problem is that you always want to find someone to blame for defeats, but you don’t see where the real mistake is. Stop acting so all the time
You know where the mistake is, you are just afraid to say it, lol

And above that, you want to do to Doran what they did for me to take advantage of others. ”

Al Nassr: Talisca Statistics

Al Orobah vs Al Nassr: Pioli ‘Paradox’
“Our team was good and played well,” Pioli said (through Alriyadiyah), who won the Italian title with Milan in 2022, but was fired by Rossoneri in May after more than four years.
“Our performance in the field was good and this is a difficult paradox: for your team to be good and missing. We had many attacks and we didn’t score from them, but Al-Orobah had two opportunities and took advantage of them well.”
Pioli said the cold weather at Sakaka University of Sakaka had given his team “positive energy”, but suggested that his players had only two days of rest before their second defeat in three league games.
Al-NASSR is next in action when they visit Iranian opponents Esteghlal on the first leg of AFC Champions League Round 16 on Monday (4pm).
