Pioli Shows Satisfaction As Al Nassr Beats Esteghlal
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Al Nassr football team head coach Stefano Pioli is satisfied due to beating Esteghlal and is now focused on erasing last season’s quarter-final defeat to eventual champion Al Ain FC.
The Saudi Arabian team defeated Esteghlal 3-0 Monday night thanks to goals from Jhon Duran and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I am very happy with the qualification, our goal was to go to the final stages in Jeddah and we achieved this,” said Pioli.
“I always have great confidence in the players because of our hard work in training, and sometimes the results do not do us justice but we know that we are on the right path,” the Italian added.
“For now, the next league match is the most important but after the international break, we will get back some players who we are missing, and we hope to go as far as possible in this competition,” he concluded.
