Castro’s Curtain Call: Referee Hails Al-Nasr’s Dominant Display
Al-Nasr Fans Demand Coach Luis Castro’s Dismissal After 1-1 Draw with Al-Ahli
Demands by fans of the Al-Nasr first football team to sack Portuguese coach Luis Castro after a 1-1 draw with Al-Ahli in the third round of the Saudi Roshan League at Al-Awal Park Stadium dominated the scene.
Nasr fans asked their management to save the team for the sake of the future of other competitions, while Ahli fans blamed the referee for the tie. The interaction with “El Clasico” reached more than 3.1 million about an hour after the end.
Nasr Supporters React to the Draw
Nasr supporters demanded the dismissal of Castro, claiming that al-Nasr did not show the technical level required of them. One fan wrote: “This is not al-Nasr, a team without a soul, a weak layer, a failure. With this coach, we will not advance a single step.”
Muhammad al-Awni said: “Castro’s dismissal is a demand.” Abu Omari agreed with him, saying: “Castro is not sitting down: I swear to God, the situation in Al-Nasr is catastrophic. I am present in the stadium and I swear to God, we see wobbles and we cannot create chances only through individual efforts.”
Criticism of Ronaldo and Talisca
While some Yellow fans criticized Ronaldo’s level, one of them was Nawaf bin Hossam: ”I said that the season is over. I swear to God that Al-Nasr will win all the matches – provided that Ronaldo does not play as a starter.”
Others saw that Brazilian Anderson Talisca’s time with the Al-Nasr logo was over, such as Ali Al-Harbi, who said: “Talesca has been with Al-Nasr for four years, he missed 90 minutes, scored one goal. In short, this player is very bad and weakens the team.”
Al-Ahly Fans Criticize the Referee
Al-Ahly fans directed their criticism at Russian referee Sergey Karasev, insisting that he did not award them a penalty kick. Talal Al-Sadri said: “A draw with the taste of defeat for the Royal team, despite the lack of professional players and administrative weakness that referees take away match points.”
Majid wrote: “The referee’s situation is strange, and the strangest thing is the VAR technique. I don’t know what is required to count the obvious Al-Ahli penalty kick in this case.”
Coach Matthias Jessel’s Tactics Questioned
Ahmed Al-Ghamdi believes that German coach Matthias Jessel made a mistake with his substitution, saying: “I’ll give you a draw with the taste of defeat, I was ahead and the match was handed to Al-Nasr. It’s okay. The players, attack and attack after attack, 200%. comes with a goal.”
If you score the first goal, think about the second, and if you score the second, think about the third. If you score a goal and get back on defense, you can’t win.
