Al Nassr's Talisca Defends New Signing Duran Amid Fan Discontent Following Defeat

March 1 News — In the early hours today, Al Nassr lost 1-2 to Al Urooba. Following this defeat, the team, managed by Pioli, is now 9 points behind league leaders Al Ittihad, with the title race looking increasingly precarious. Al Nassr's winter signing Duran had a lackluster performance, leading to some discontent among fans. After the match, former Al Nassr player Talisca expressed his support for Duran during a heated exchange with fans, stating that the real issue lies elsewhere.

"Duran is an excellent player who will make significant contributions to this club. The problem is that you always want to blame someone for the loss, without recognizing where the real mistakes are. Stop doing this."

"You all know where the problem lies; you just don't dare to say it. It's hilarious."

Talisca later updated his social media to elaborate on his comments:

"On top of that, you want to do to Duran what they did to me, to benefit others."
