AL-HILAL manager Jorge Jesus launched a startling rant at opponents Navbahor after his side's frustrating 1-1 draw in their AFC Champions League opener.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ex-Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Fenerbahce head coach Jesus, 69, has seen a host of stars come through the door since he returned to Al-Hilal in July after four and a half years away.<\/p>\n They included Brazilian legend Neymar, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.<\/p>\n And Neymar, 31, made his debut in a 6-1 win over Al-Riyadh on Friday.<\/p>\n However, his first start did not end in victory as Uzbek visitors Navbahor earned an impressive 1-1 draw in the AFC Champions League.<\/p>\n Al-Hilal had 77 per-cent possession and 20 shots to their opponent's five, yet only salvaged a point in the 10th minute of stoppage time through Ali Albulayhi.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And Jesus was unhappy with how Navbahor approached the game as he claimed their tactics were "far removed from football".<\/p>\n He said: "It was an abnormal game. We are prepared to play against closed opponents, but what the other team did today goes against football.<\/p>\n "They were constant wastes of time, which made my players lose focus.<\/p>\n "The game was difficult, if you can call it a game, because the team we faced was repeatedly wasting time and breaking the rhythm, and I'm not used to playing against this type of team.<\/p>\n <\/picture>FAN KNIFED <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>DEVIL MAY CARE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>FOR REAL? <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>EUR JOKING <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "I've been a coach for 35 years and I've never seen anything like this, a team wasting time like Navbahor.<\/p>\n "They didn't come in to play football. All they did was anti-play, successive fouls and wasting time and the referee didn't control the situation.<\/p>\n "Our draw, it didn't come from their defensive discipline, but from something far removed from football."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Neymar is still awaiting his first goal in an Al-Hilal shirt.<\/p>\n Fans were disappointed on his debut when Salem Aldawsari stepped up to take a penalty instead of Brazil's record scorer.<\/p>\n Al-Hilal sit top of the Saudi Pro League with five wins and one draw from their opening six games.<\/p>\n Ex-Fulham man Mitrovic, 29, has netted five league goals – two adrift of the division's top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
