It was definitely a game that I enjoyed a lot, I like the level of play, what did you bet on? I think the finish was very glorious for Al Hilal, the truth is I was hoping to see Neymar Jr play, unfortunately it didn't happen, but it doesn't matter, I think Saudi football has a great growth as comparable with European teams, and it's not to praise these players like CR7, Mané and those who make life in this team, but it is really very interesting, I bet on Al Nassr, I lost, but I was left with a good taste in my mouth because what a good game.

The issue of Al Hillal interest in Salah is no longer an open secret, because to be able to continue to dominate the league, inevitably Al Hillal must continue to make a breakthrough in the transfer market to recruit star players into their squad, not only Salah even now Al Hillal is associated with Vinicius, de Bruyne and also with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes, talking about Salah, I think their chances of getting him at the end of the season are very large, because so far Salah has not received a contract extension from Liverpool, If Al Hillal manages to get Salah of course their attack line will be very dangerous with a great striker in front of him, Salah is a very experienced player and has an extraordinary goal scoring ability, so we can imagine if we see him duet with Mitrovic later, while about Neymar, I think there is no point in keeping him in the squad anymore and it's better for them to discard Neymar at this time, because I think at this time his career is over after the injuries that keep happening.

The match ended with a big scoreline but I'm not happy that Ronaldo didn't get more goals. He scored but just one and should have gotten more. When Ronaldo is playing better and scoring, Al Nassr are always going to win but when he isn't in form, it becomes a problem for the club to win and this will make the fans become worried about his impact to the team. Al Nassr didn't give Al Ain any chance in this game, they dominated everything from the beginning and even got an extra time goal. The goal that Al Ain got was also an own goal therefore they didn't score any goal of their own in the game and this shows the dominance of the Al Nassr team.

Yes, so far Pioli has been able to give a little touch to Al Nassr's game, although not yet fully maximized. They are also 2 teams that have not been defeated until now, but they are still struggling to win, it can be seen from the number of draws they get. That means their current performance is not enough to achieve success this season.
But this is a process, Pioli has just joined Al Nassr, that means he needs time to make this team even stronger. I agree with you that Pioli's toughest challenge is when facing Al Hilal, of course this does not mean we underestimate the other teams either.

Pioli can bring Al Nassr to win the Saudi Pro League, not this season but the next season. This season Al Nassr is still difficult to rival Al Hilal in the acquisition of points even though the league is still running for 9 weeks.
This season will be a season for Pioli to form foundations in order to not collapse during the next season. If this season Pioli is able to shift Al Hilal's position, the public will be shocked by the news that Ronaldo's figure is not Pioli's figure.

Regarding Neymar, I am also concerned about his condition. He should have been able to continue to show more action, but injuries that made him have to have a lot outside the field.

Neymar's salary around 100 million euro every season and become most expensive salary players for Al Hilal but last two consecutives season less contributing although success winning domestic league trophy. In this season have two appearances in domestic league and AFC Champion League match but Neymar have returned with injury and seems will absent for longer time.
Actually reach mutual contract seems difficult because Neymar have contract left until June 2025 or this season over due higher salary receiving Neymar will stay until his contract over.

Al Hilal have adapt well loss one spot foreign player in their squad after last season Neymar got long term injury, however removing him from squad in this season still possibility but seems impossible reach mutual contract with him because Neymar will priority to earn much salary with Al Hilal until his contract expiry.

Just like you, i also believe that Pioli can take Al-Nassr to a higher level than in previous seasons. The real challenge for Pioli & Al-Nassr is Al-Hilal, no matter how high Pioli can take them, Al-Hilal will continue to shadow them in the Saudi Professional League. Even though Al-Hilal has not yet been strengthened by Neymar, they are already that strong, it is scary to imagine when Neymar can appear regularly at Al-Hilal.

I saw this news too, probably in January 2025 Neymar Jr will have his contract terminated, I even think the club was very good to the player, welcomed him, made a great contract but did not have the expected sporting return, the truth is that Neymar never had the performance he could have playing in Saudi Arabia, so it is only fair that he continues his career elsewhere, he will probably return to Brazil or go play football in the United States.

Al-Hilal To Terminate Neymar's Contract Amid Mohamed Salah Interest

Salah has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League with his Liverpool contract set to expire at the end of the current season. Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal are considering parting ways with Neymar after suffering a hamstring injury on Monday amid interest in Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

The Brazil international, who has been hampered by injuries since moving to the Gulf State is expected to undergo treatment and rehabilitation lasting four to six weeks. Neymar was replaced in the 58th minute of Al Hilal's 3-0 win over Esteghlal of Iran in the AFC Champions League Elite on Monday.

It was the former Barcelona forward's second appearance for Al Hilal following a 12-month injury layoff.

"Unfortunately, it is not a simple injury and he seems to be suffering from muscle pain and it is not a knee issue," Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus said Wednesday in a news conference in Riyadh

I love the decision of Al Nassr management in hiring Stefano Pioli as there manager because if he would achieve those things he did on the AC Milan that means that there is no limits to his achievement on this Al Nassr within the three years of his contract and besides is an excitement for Ronaldo to have an Italian coach because his style will remind him of his time when he was on the Series A league, so actually the results Stefano Pioli will bring for Al Nassr will make some other club to consider more of foreign coaches, I'm happy with what I'm seeing on the Al Nassr team under the help of Ronaldo who was a huge help to the club on the last match with AI Ain they won 5:1.

Yes, it's a shame that Neymar had to suffer another injury. Even though he had just recovered from a long injury that befell him. Then for the current injury, it is reported that Neymar suffered a tear in his hamstring muscle and it is reported that Neymar will have to be absent for at least 6 weeks before he can recover. I personally am quite concerned about Neymar's current condition, because he continues to suffer injuries and this of course will have a very bad impact on him. Because it is possible that Neymar will be sold again by Al Hilal in the winter transfer market. Because Al Hilal certainly doesn't want to suffer even bigger losses from Neymar. Because Neymar came to Al Hilal at a high price, but Neymar did not contribute much to Al Hilal because of the injury he experienced. For this reason, it is very likely that Al Hilal will sell Neymar more quickly.

Apart from that, I personally am quite worried about Neymar's fate, because most likely at this time there will definitely not be many clubs who want to recruit him. Because if a football team dares to bring in Neymar, they definitely have to be prepared for the consequences. Therefore, it is possible that Neymar will retire sooner from the world of football. Because the current situation seems to no longer be possible for Neymar to continue being an active football player.

Stefano Pioli showed his ability as one of the top coaches in Europe. He directly bring positive impacts on Al Nassr performance so far, but I think we don't expect too much because it is his first season and he didn't build the current squad from the beginning. I'm not really sure Al Nassr will win the SPL title but I hope Al Nassr can give the good battle in the title race.

Anyway, I think Al Nassr isn't in their top form yet. They should beat Al Hilal firstly to prove their best form. As long as Al Nassr can't win against Al Hilal, I don't think Al Nassr has reached the best level in their performance. If Al Nassr can strengthen their squad with new good players in the next transfer windows, I think Al Nassr has a chance to beat Al Hilal and prove their best form.

Stefano Pioli is incharge and we ought to expect more from the new manager in Saudi Arabia. He has bright vision for the club and working towards accomplish big dreams for the Knights of Najd this season. Al Nassr are one of the best team in SPL currently and I've watched their league games, they're the very best club that will be able to stand up to Al Hilal this season. Al Nassr are in top form this season and able to smashed more numbers this season, bravo for them. They're 3rd position on the league table with 5W 4D and 0D this season, prior good enough to reach competitive runs this season.

Exactly. There is an improvement in Al Nassr performance since Stefano Pioli becomes the coach. If they didn't get a lose in King Cup, they could keep positive results in every match. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in King Cup, it becomes the first lose under Stefano Pioli's management. However, got a draw against Al Hilal (SPL winner) and won with big scores against Al Ain (AFC Champions League winner) are good results.

The positive results on few latest matches surely bring more confident among Al Nassr players. Although it seems too early to talk about their consistency, they could play a more solidly at least. I like the way Pioli builds this team, he could combine both star players and average players properly. And he could choose the right players in each line.

of course this is a fairly good achievement for the progress of a team, by being able to play with a draw when facing al hilal in RSL, and in the LCA beating Al Ain 5-1 in a one-sided contest. Those are very solid results, indicating that the team is putting in some collective efforts to control their own whilst.

The consistency that Al-Nassr have shown in their last few games at least gives them the confidence and momentum needed to believe they can tackle the challenges in the coming competition.

This brilliant performance is definitely going to ring in bells for their challengers, especially in the coming big clashes. If Al-Nassr continue playing this way, not only will they be putting pressure at the top of the table, they will be among the leading contenders in the title race. This success can also be one of the momentum needed to interest other top talents in joining and reinforcing the team in pursuing the big target this season.

Al-Nassr football team played very well in last match and gave all effort to win this match in which they became successful to win this match. Talisca did 2 goals in this match and he was top performer of this match because after his goals , opponent team came in pressure and they could not do next goals in this match.  Ronaldo also did one goal in this match and he did goal at 31 minutes. After his goal Fábio Cardoso did struggle for his team and after all he did goal at 37 minutes and at that moment that was totally one sided match but after that we saw one goal from opponent team and match was ended with 5-1 ratio.

Al Ain squad's performance this season seems to have declined, in the 4 matches they played including last night's match against Al Nassr, the team coached by Henan Crespo experienced poor results. in 4 matches, 3 matches lost and one draw. their performance in the domestic competition is very messy, I don't know what made it so because I don't follow the United Arab Emirates league. in this match we can see, if Pioli applies a different system. my assumption is that every player who has a chance can convert it into a goal. like Talisca, he opened the lead with a quick goal in the 5th minute. followed by goals from Ronaldo, Wesley and closed again by a goal created by Talisca in injury time. overall the Al Nassr players played quite well, it's just that some of their defenders were not optimal. this result brought Al Nassr to 3rd position below Al-Ahli, in first place is Al Hilal. if I look at Al Nassr's match schedule across competitions, their opponents are not tough opponents. So, Pioli should be able to continue Al Nassr on a positive trend. who will be a tough opponent for them is Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League in week 13, this will be a crucial match.

After 2 draws in Professional League and 1 lost in Kings Cup we have won for the Al Nassr which is good sign because with this win now all three Saudi Clubs are dominating into this group of AFC Champions League which is clearly showing how strong they are and difference of quality between them and other clubs, but fans are looking for good results into league which is looking not easy while we have two draws which bring more problems for them as they are looking for having good chance for coming back into title race.

No doubt Stefano Pioli having his impact, but it's going to take time because now it's not easy for any team to have top spot while Al Hilal is having the best side and their chances are also high for lifting another title in this season currently they have 1 point difference from Al Ittihad and 6 points from Al Nassr which is surely not good sign.

Neymar is regularly injured and this is pissing badly the administration of Al-Hilal. They paid a lot for a player that he barely played 7 matches since he joined the team. They spent a lot for just one goal and 7 appearances in the field.
There is serious talk inside the team to get ride of him since January transfer window if his injury is bad, otherwise he might continue his contract with them until the next summer. Al-Hilal has the problem of limited foreign players imposed by Saudi Pro League and that was a wasted spot for them.
At the age of 32, Neymar seems like an old man who lost a lot because of these injuries and I doubt any top team will recruit him and if done, the salary will be way lower than this.

Being a huge fan of Neymar, it is always a matter of regret for me that after a year and a half of waiting, when Neymar returns to the field after recovering, after playing a match, he is again injured and sidelined for a long time. Al Hilal's Facebook page has already posted various social media posts about Neymar in the last match in which Al Hilal played. It was nice to see that Neymar was finally going to return to the field but that joy was short lived. Moments into the game, he suffered a leg muscle strain that caused him to leave the field immediately, and as he left the field, he looked like he was just bored, maybe he and he were tired of fighting back and forth with injuries.  Now it's time to wait again and watch the various media to see how well Neymar recovers or when he can return to the field.
