“(The comeback) should be like that. This is Al-Nassr, we have to respond … We must continue to win and let's see what will happen. '
Ronaldo said that the team's focus is on both the SPL and AFC Champions League elite, where they will be confronted opposite Esteghlal Tehran on Monday.
“Game-per game, we have to rebuild trust,” added Ronaldo. “We have to do it again, we have to win, win, win and let's see what will happen.”
