The Saudi League duel between Al Ahli and Al Nassr had a high-tension ending, marked by a heated argument between two Portuguese: Rui Pedro Braz, sporting director of the home team, who won 3-2, and João Félix, player for the visitors.
The discussion arose following a sprint carried out by Braz, at the end of the game, towards Al Ahli goalkeeper, Abdulrahman Al-Sanbi, passing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix, who reportedly saw the stance as a provocation. Especially the former Benfica player, who got into an argument with the director, who curiously left Luz not long ago, and also headed to Saudi Arabia.
BOLA knows that, after some time, with calmer moods, Rui Pedro Braz sent a message to João Félix, Cristiano Ronaldo and also Jorge Jesus, apologizing for what he classified as a misunderstanding.
The Portuguese leader assured that he was only focused on celebrating the triumph with the goalkeeper in particular, as he had suffered a ‘chicken’ in the first half, meaning he was very shaken at half-time.
Rui Pedro Braz added, in contact with his compatriots, that he had later realized that his reaction could be seen as a provocation, but assured that this was not the intention, expressing maximum respect for Al Nassr’s compatriots, even due to the close relationship he has with some.
