Al Hilal coach criticizes Navbahor players for anti-gambling in the Asian Champions match that ended in a draw (1-1)

Jorge Jesus, coach of Al Hilal, harshly criticized the attitude of Navbahor players, accusing them of anti-gambling in the match between the two, this Monday, which ended in a draw (1-1) and referring to the 1st round of the group stage of the Asian Champions League.

“It was an abnormal game! We are prepared to play against closed opponents, but what the other team did today goes against football. They were constant wastes of time, which made my players lose focus”, criticized Jorge Jesus.

He continued: “The game was difficult, if you can call it a game, because the team we faced was repeatedly wasting time and breaking the rhythm, and I’m not used to playing against this type of team. I’ve been a coach for 35 years and I’ve never seen anything like this, a team wasting time like Navbahor. They didn’t come in to play football. All they did was anti-play, successive fouls and wasting time and the referee didn’t control the situation. Our draw It didn’t come from their defensive discipline, but from something far removed from football.”
