The Talisca Connection: Why Anderson Talisca is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Perfect Attacking Partner at Al-Nassr
Although the Saudi Pro League has been known in recent months for its ability to attract household names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Benzema, and N’Golo Kante, they have also made some good deals for less-known players.
Anderson Talisca is one such player currently playing his trade in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr. Not many people kept tabs on the player before Cristino Ronaldo’s mega move to Al-Nassr.
But Talisca has not shrunk in the glare of the global attention brought by the massive changes and the meteoric rise of the league; instead, he is thriving alongside the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo is the leading man for this Al-Nassr team, Talisca has emerged as one of the better-performing and influential players alongside the Portuguese captain.
Talisca’s upturn in form has also seen the Al-Nassr form turn for the better as they have shot up the table and advanced their title credentials as they fight it out with Al-Hilal at the top of the Saudi Pro League.
After scoring a hat-trick against Al-Duhail, Talisca said, “I have a wonderful relationship with both Al-Nassr and its fans.
“They are well aware of the fact. I was a club member during a period of transformation in Al-Nassr. I am really proud of the fact I was part of the club’s growth to the point where it is now considered one of the largest in the world.”
He is enjoying his form currently, and Al-Nassr are reaping the rewards.
