Hierro admitted that the team lost many points that did not make him lead, stressing that they are working to plant passion for the players and made a stronger team in the new season.
He added: «When I got here, I spoke that we must build within 5 years, we went out of the AFC Champions League and I was sorry for our exit, and at a certain stage of the league we were good, but the injuries overcame us, we competed with great difference, such as Al -Hilal, Al -Ahly and Al -Ittihad, and I entered the line other competition teams.
On the continuation of the Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo with victory, he said: “The clear and real thing is that Ronaldo has a contract until June 30, as for the teams wishing to sign with him, I say that more than 30 clubs want to sign with Ronaldo, everyone wants to be in his club, and the presence of Ronaldo from the beginning is a project for Saudi Arabia, and he chose victory to represent this project, Ronaldo is a phenomenon in football. This great country helped open the door and attract players, and officials present a great work, and hold it with us until June 30, and we communicate with him to renew and continue with victory, and I did not see the Portuguese star’s publication and I do not think that Ronaldo will leave us, and I will be positive in this regard.
Hierro stressed that the club needs to complete the construction, create the team that the fan wants and entering the mindset.
He continued: «What we miss is to raise the pace of the club’s employees, players, technical staff and all employees, and this is the responsibility of everyone, and we prepare for this team and choose the players, and my thinking is to invest in young energies, and this is what makes the club rise and has a strong local cadre in terms of the players.
The Sports Director in Al -Nasr criticized the AFC decision regarding the participation of the hero of the continent for the elite in the next version.
He stated: «It is assumed that the third place gives victory to participate in the AFC Champions League for the elite next season, in Europe, the third place qualifies for participation and not the title holder.
In response to the “Sports” question in how to choose the Colombian John Duran, he answered: “We chose Duran for the characteristics he owned, we were looking for a player No. 9 helps Ronaldo in the attack and brought us young players, such as the French Mohamed Semakan, 23, the Brazilian Pinto 24 years old, and the rotation of 21 years, and they are talented players, and victory can reap the fruits of them in the coming years.”
Hierro indicated that the club made the appropriate offer for Ali Lafeami, but the latter refused him and preferred to go to another club, noting that negotiations with him were negative.
And he added: “I respect Ali Lajami a lot, and he is a wonderful person and an excellent player, our negotiations with him were negative, and the interest of victory was our goal, there are negotiations that succeed and negotiations fail, and what happened is that the negotiations did not advance and in the negotiations the two parties must agree, we did not agree with the player, the club wanted an order, and my order wanted another matter, and he chose his future, and the club does not stand on anyone.”
Hierro explained that Nawaf Al -Aqidi made a decision to play with Al -Fateh, in order to help the Saudi national team, stressing that the Brazilian’s exit Talska was a decision from the technical staff.
He continued, “Laporte was injured, and then moved away from the team, but there are no problems with the coach.”
Hierro responded to one of the journalists, who was surprised that he did not submit his resignation, saying: “This is your thinking, and I respect this thinking, but it is unreasonable when you do not win the championships to change everyone in the club when the construction process begins without achieving successes, everyone will go towards the coach directly, and there is no easier than change, and we review what happened at the end of the season with my team, and we need the most important factor of success The club would have gave me no problem. ”
The sports director in Al -Nasr presented his apology to all the fans of his club, stressing that he requested this conference for respect for them, and to clarify the image for what happened this season.
He said: «I understand the anger of the masses, and we promise them one thing, which is to continue to work. We know that the challenge is great, and we hope to bring senior players and crown next season. ”
