In the Saudi Pro League match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli that took place on Thursday, Jhon Duran scored one of the best solo goals of the season. This is just one example of how Jhon Duran is already more than proving his worth.
While there were only three days left in the January window, Duran signed a lucrative five-and-a-half year contract with Al Nassr.
Over the next few weeks, the 21-year-old player, who has been given an astounding salary of £16.7 million per year at Al-Awwal Park, will be playing alongside players such as Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the first game of his league career, which was played against Al Feiha, the Colombian scored two goals shortly after completing a transfer to the club based in Riyadh that cost £64 million.
As of right now, Duran has been one of the most productive players for Stefano Pioli’s team. He is currently leading the line alongside Ronaldo, who has won the Ballon d’Or five times. Ronaldo appears to be enjoying playing next to the former Chicago Fire striker.
And on Thursday night, he once again demonstrated his talent by scoring two more goals in their dramatic victory over Al Ahli, which they won by a score of 3-2.
After scoring the first goal in the 32nd minute, which was a goal that was greeted with applause from Ronaldo, who is a teammate of Duran’s at Al Nassr, Duran went on to score a quite outrageous solo goal in the 88th minute, which established his team with a 3-1 advantage.
Let’s take a look at how supporters responded to the goal on social media.
“It kills me how people were saying Duran is going to come back to Europe washed,” said one of the individuals. He is the best striker in the world under the age of 21 and is considered to be one of the best strikers in Europe.
The second person wrote, “Jhon Duran is simply incredible, man.” At other times, it doesn’t appear to be real. He is capable of everything. In the event that he makes the decision to return to Europe two years from now, I wouldn’t mind getting him at all.
A third individual expressed their regret by saying, “I’ve seen a better defense in Sunday League,” while a fourth individual remarked, “A goal that will be talked about for years to come.” This is the arrival of Jhon Duran.
One more person stated, “Duran is the best forward that Cristiano has played with in the past six to seven years.” Man, that is insane. He is a crazy crazy baller”.
After celebrating his league debut with Cristiano Ronaldo, Duran stated earlier this month that it “feels like I’m playing FIFA career mode.” This statement was made after Duran scored a goal.
“I’m really happy about the move,” told the player who had previously played for Aston Villa. Many things are the subject of speculation among the general public as well as the media. My family, my agent, and I are the only people I think about.
Then, Duran continued, “I am aware of the reasons behind the decisions that we make.” When it comes to these choices, my family is by far the most important factor. To me, it does not seem like a step in the wrong direction. I will be moving to a league that is highly competitive, and there are a lot of stars here.
“There are a great number of individuals who hold a completely different perspective regarding the league; however, in general, these individuals are thinking things that are not correct.
When it comes to those who are arguing that this is a step in the wrong direction, I will demonstrate my worth on the field. As far as I am concerned, I will be speaking on the pitch. Off the field, a lot of things are said, but on the field, it’s a completely different story.
