Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia criticises Ronaldo and his teammates after damaging draw in Saudi League

Rudi Garcia has hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates after Al-Nassr dropped valuable points in a damaging draw with Al-Feiha last Sunday.

The French tactician did not hold back his feelings when expressing his disappointment with his charges, as they lost further ground to league leaders, Al-Ittihad, who currently lead the Saudi top flight with three points.

With seven games to spare, Garcia and his side have their work cut out for them and would hope Al-Ittihad stumbles in their subsequent games, in order to stand a chance of Al-Nassr winning their first league crown since the 2018–19 season, 90 Min reported.

Reflecting on the disappointing draw, the manager stated, as quoted by GOAL: "The result is definitely bad, and we are not happy."

He continued, aiming a remark at his players: "I don’t feel satisfied with [their] performance. I asked them to play at the same level as the last game [a 5-0 win over Al-Adalah], but this didn’t happen."

Nonetheless, the former Olympique Lyon and AS Roma boss remained optimistic about Al-Nassr's chances of winning the Saudi Pro League.

"There are seven games left, we will try to recover, and we realise that it’s not easy after we lost two points, but everything is possible."
