Time is required to process a blow as hard as the elimination of a continental tournament.
And a double dose when you arrive as a favorite to the semifinal, when you have Cristiano Ronaldo in your team, when you have only the Asian Champions left to save a season.
That is the precise moment that Al-Nassr is going through, which now can only try to pass the bitter drink of its fall against the frontal Kawasaki (2-3) taking advantage of the rematch that football gives it. The only problem is that the opponent is nothing less than the leader of the Saudi Pro League, to the Ittihad of Benzema.
To get up from the ground soon and with forcefulness
The Arab League table says that the leader arrives with 68 units, 8 more than the Jhon Durán team, who is waiting for a broader revenge than that of his teammates.
The Colombian played a game for oblivion in the semifinal of Champions, in which he failed several very clear occasions, which were surprised when the Japanese, with the precision that he lacked, did the great damage.
That is why now he needs to claim himself before the most demanding possible rival, demonstrating that one day has any scorer.
The need to win is peremptory because a place in the Champions must be assured and that implies displacing the powerful to the Hilal, which is second with 62 points.
