Joao Felix has been warned by Jorge Jesus that he must 'prepare better' if he is to return to his peak form after an underwhelming debut for Al-Nassr.

Joao Felix’s Saudi Arabian adventure has started with fireworks and controversy over his decision. The 25-year-old former Benfica prodigy sparked debate over his career direction when he joined Al-Nassr in July while former team Benfica were chasing him. However, coach Jorge Jesus insists the move was the right call, claiming the Saudi league is “much stronger” than Portugal’s, and says Félix’s link-up with Cristiano Ronaldo can boost Portugal’s World Cup hopes.

Jorge Jesus has explained why he decided to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench during Al-Nassr's Saudi King Cup of Champions round of 32 clash with Jeddah on Tuesday. In Ronaldo's absence, his compatriot Joao Felix starred for Al-Nassr as the Saudi giants beat Jeddah 4-0. Felix contributed with a goal and an assist to continue his dream start to life in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Nassr boss Jorge Jesus has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as a "great example" after their Saudi Super Cup semi-final win over Al-Ittihad.

Cristiano Ronaldo's influence on the Saudi Pro League has stunned Jorge Jesus, with it claimed nobody would watch if CR7 was not in the division.
