Yes, currently Ronaldo looks quite active on his YouTube channel, some time ago Ronaldo even collaborated with the famous YouTuber MR Beast. However, in my opinion, Ronaldo has the right to decide what he will do after retiring from the world of football. Whether he wants to be a YouTuber or an entrepreneur, I think it's up to him. But even so, I personally am very sure that Ronaldo will definitely not leave the world of football. The reason is that Ronaldo will definitely not leave the profession that has made his name soar to this day. So, for example, Ronaldo has retired as a football player, he can buy a club or become a coach. Because Ronaldo can definitely get all of that, because he has a lot of money if, for example, he wants to buy a club and he also has great abilities if, for example, he wants to become a coach.

But for now, even though Ronaldo has a YouTube channel and looks focused on managing that channel. But I'm sure he will still prioritize his career as a football player. Because Ronaldo is a very professional football player, Ronaldo will definitely prioritize Al Nasr as his current club. Apart from that, Ronaldo also still has big dreams of being able to bring his country Portugal to win the world cup trophy. So I don't think Ronaldo will end his career in football anytime soon. Because Ronaldo still has very big ambitions at the moment.

In fact, this match is not much different from the match against Al Hilal, there is prestige in this match. In the last two matches last season, Al Ittihad always lost to Al Nassr, even always involving red cards and many goals scored. Currently, Al Ittihad is handled by Laurent Blanc whose performance is much better even though this is his first season, but this French coach has been able to bring Al Ittihad to appear more competitive and become the temporary leader of the standings in the Saudi Pro League. Al Ittihad is also quite good in defense, their only major defeat was when they played against Al Hilal with a score of 3-1. The rest, they were undefeated and did not even get a draw. In the Al Nassr camp, Stefano Pioli has not been able to lift the team he coaches into a superior team that leads the standings. From 12 matches played in the Saudi League, they only got 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. In addition, their productivity in scoring goals is also below Al Ittihad. so theoretically Al Ittihad is a strong opponent for Al Nassr this season, and it is not easy to repeat the victory like last season. I think this match will be quite tough and potentially tough, I mean there might be many players who get cards from the referee. let's just wait and see which team will win this match, because both have the same chance to defeat each other.

It is true that Al Nassr can beat Al Ittihad by relying on 1 player. However, i think there is a possibility that Al Nassr could win this match, although i believe there will be a significant resistance from Al Ittihad, which will make this match end with a draw score. Because based on their last two matches, and i highlighted these two last matches only because it can be a reference i think, so i can conclude that Al Nassr is very favored, and this is justified based on the odds available at this time.

Al-ittihad even has a very good attack line which will certainly be able to trouble Al-Nassr's defense. Al-ittihad's goal productivity is truly extraordinary this season. Benzema has even equaled Cristiano Ronaldo in the number of goals scored. And even this season Al-hilal is also unable to compete with Al-ittihad as can be seen from the current number of points where Al-ittihad is now at the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Al-hilal is in second place. And Al-Nassr is only in 3rd place with a point difference of 8 points with Al-ittihad. Well that's a big difference. But I hope Al-Nassr can win.

Having a plan to retire is certain, it's just that for now he can still play well which is his main capital to keep playing. I'm not sure, maybe he will retire after the World Cup? or maybe before the World Cup.
For this he will decide for himself, all decisions are completely in his hands, so when he will retire is still a secret.
What we thought before was that maybe the Qatar World Cup would be the last World Cup, but seeing now his chances of still being able to play in the World Cup are also big. So maybe he will take advantage of that before he decides to retire as a professional player.

It seems like my luck really isn't in good shape. because I have failed in 2 games. The match results of the 3 matches that have been held are as follows
- Damac vs Al-Feiha (2-2)
- Al Wahda vs Al-okhdood club (2-3)
- Al Shabab vs Al Fateh (2-2)

Damac and Al-Shabab were quite disappointing. And I hope Al-Qadisiyah will not disappoint.

Today we also have a match between Al-ittihad and Al-nassr. I think we shouldn't miss this.

Does anyone understand why the bookmakers believe that Al Nassr is the favorite in this game? it is not by much, but they are giving odds for Al Nassr that are suggesting Al Nassr is the slight favorite in this game and I don't get it. The table couldn't be more informative than it is. Al Ittihad is 8 points ahead, have won all their games in the league recently. They have the best defense in the league and they have about the best offense in the league, only Al Hilal scored 1 more goal. Does that make any sense or is this the typical Ronaldo bias that bookmakers have...

Since I am not following the Saudi Professional League a lot, maybe anyone here knows whether Al Ittihad is suffering from injuries or something, but if they aren't, then I would say the odds don't make a lot of sense. Al Nassr's win rate is hardly above 50% while Al Ittihad is winning 90% of their games. Statistically it makes no sense and a Ronaldo bias would be stupid, too, as he is not even the best striker in the league.

Seeing Al Ittihad's consistent performance this season I doubt Al Nassr can beat Al Ittihad at the opponent's home especially if you only rely on 1 player it will be very difficult to win. I know Ronaldo will definitely try hard to score a goal in this match but it is not certain that the goal can create a victory if their defense is careless then Al Ittihad can penetrate Al Nassr's goal by exceeding the goals they created, Al Ittihad may try hard to win at home and create a points advantage at the top of the standings.

Of course, Ronaldo won't be a footballer forever. There should be the time that Ronaldo will decide to retire. I'm sure he already plans for the retirement. However, we don't know when he finally will announce his retirement. I guess he will keep playing in the next 2 years at least.

No, Ronaldo doesn't only move to SPL for money only. He also see the chance of playing regularly in SPL. If he stays in Europe, he may often sit on the bench. He already experienced it when he returned to Man United. Now, Ronaldo even becomes the captain in SPL, he always has the chance to play in each match.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not keep playing football until he becomes very old obviously and he has to keep a stable income for his future and the high expenses and quality of life of his family, thus he select Saudi Pro League first to collect the money and he is now diversifying the ways of income, because simply, social media with a lot of fans, will guarantee a good reward. I just appreciate the way he did to improve his income.

Anyone worried Ronaldo is becoming a bit more interested in other parts of his life outside of football? I mean he is of course a decent footballer even at 40 years old, there is no doubt about that part, but between youtube and other stuff, I keep seeing him do other stuff all the time, at this point it feels like he is not putting his 100% into football anymore, which could be just working towards getting a career after football maybe?

I do not think that he will be a youtuber after he retires of course, that would be wild, but he could just keep his popularity up that way even after he stops playing, because no matter how great you are as a baller, if you retire, and not play at all, then you would need to start small and grow at coaching levels, but with a high popularity, that could help him land a job based on popularity and marketing purposes which would not be bad for any team to hire him. I am not sure about the exact reason to be fair, but I know it's looking more and more like he is not really interested in the job as much as he used to.

No matter how they want to get results with players like Ronaldo in this team, the fact about Ronaldo and Al Nassr is about the results they got so far in the Saudi League. In fact, Ronaldo joined this team to win the Saudi league title with them and he also wanted to achieve some other goals in Asia since he thought he was the only superstar player in this country. But Sadly even having Ronaldo was not enough for Al Nassr so far and still, they failed to to win any title.
I think even if Ronaldo gets retired in the Saudi league this wouldn't be supering to see Ronaldo not win anything there.

Al-Ittihad's consistency will be seen when they meet strong opponents, for example this week against Al Nassr. In addition, the match against Al Hilal in the second session. If Al Ittihad is able to win over these two teams, then their progress to become champions of the Saudi Pro League is increasingly open. Currently, the points between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal are quite thin, at any time the top of the standings can change and take turns until one of them is able to widen the points gap to ensure the trophy title. Al Ittihad has performed quite well, they are undefeated in their last eight matches. This week, their opponent is one of the elite and strong teams, namely Al Nassr. Looking at the odds available, Al Nassr has a chance to overthrow Al Ittihad even in an away game. If Al Ittihad is unable to take advantage of the momentum of playing at home against Al Nassr, let alone losing full points, then Al Hilal has the potential to overtake the top position in the standings. So it is very interesting, because the match between Al Ittihad and Al Nassr will be very crucial to ensure that Al Ittihad remains at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.

This is my prediction and I don't think I bet on some of these matches because I'm disappointed with several defeats, making the number of defeats increase.
Of these 5 matches, there will definitely be 1 match that ends in a draw.

Damac vs Al Feiha (Damac win)
Al Wahda vs Al-Okhdood Club (Wahda win)
Al Shabab vs Al Fateh (Shabab win)
Al Kholood vs Al-Qadisiyah (Qadisiyah win)
Al Orubah vs Al Riyadh (Orubah win)

Today's match schedule in the Saudi Pro League is
- Damac vs Al Feiha
- Al Wahda vs Al-Okhdood Club
- Al Shabab vs Al Fateh
- Al Kholood vs Al-Qadisiyah
- Al Orubah vs Al Riyadh

for these 5 matches I will probably miss some and will only bet on 3 matches, namely I will favor Al Shabab against Al-Fateh, then I will favor Damac against Al-Feiha and finally I will favor Al-Qadisiyah who will face Al kholood. I think Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Shabab have pretty good consistency. But Damac might not. It's just that Damac always performs brilliantly when facing ordinary teams. And since last season I have always been quite lucky when choosing Damac. Hopefully this season will be the same.

If you look at the current standings, Ittihad is still leading the standings and in second place is Al Hilal. Yes, it seems that if you look at a situation like this, it will be difficult for Al Nassr to have their dreams come true because they see the difference in points between Al Nassr and Ittihad and Al The crescent moon certainly has a big difference in points which will definitely make it difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends to win this season. However, yes, what you say is very true because this season is still long so of course there is still the potential for changes in the club's position in the SPL standings at the end of the season because of course all teams will not give up fighting to be the best at the end of the season.

apparently in this discussion I agree with you because it seems that only Ittihad and Al Hilal have great potential to become SPL champions because this is the strongest team currently in the SPL. but honestly I think I want to see Al Nassr become champions because I want to see Cristiano Ronaldo win a trophy with Al Nassr at the end of this season. What about you, do you also want to see Cristiano Ronaldo lift the trophy?
but yes, unfortunately it is not easy for Al Nassr to get to that stage and become champions in the SPL because in my opinion Al Nassr's rivals in the SPL this season are really tougher than last season because Al Nassr has many rivals who are difficult to beat. Yes, we'll see in the upcoming match, namely Ittihad against Al Nassr. I'm sure this will be very exciting.

It is not surprising if you believe that Al Hilal will again become champions in the Saudi Arabian league. Because it cannot be denied that Al Hilal's performance can be said to be the best and also the most consistent so far. Therefore, it is only natural that this season Al Hilal will become champions again in the Saudi Arabian league. But even so, don't forget that Al Ittihad is currently experiencing a very good increase in performance. Because I see that currently the chemistry in the Al Ittihad team is getting better and better, so that Al Ittihad can experience quite rapid progress in its performance. Apart from that, currently Al Ittihad also has several great new players too, such as Mousa Diaby from Aston Villa, Steven Bergwijn from Ajax, and Houssem Aouar from Roma. So with these new players, it has been proven that Al Ittihad's performance has increased very significantly. Therefore, for this season, I personally don't know which team will be champion in the Saudi Arabian league, but in essence, as I said, the strongest candidates are only Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. So in essence, these two teams will really compete very hard this season. And I am really looking forward to the great drama that will occur in the Saudi Arabian league this season. Because last season there was no significant competition because only Al Hilal continued to dominate. But this season is quite different, because there is Al Ittihad who is ready to compete with Al Hilal.

I don't think your prediction is reasonable because if Al Hilal is there, maybe it will be very difficult for other clubs in the Saudi League to win the titl. Al Hilal is a much stronger football team. So if Al Ittihad wants to win this year's Saudi League title, they may have to face tough competition with Al Hilal. It has to be admitted that Al Ittihad is playing well in the current season of Saudi Pro League, they have won most of the matches which is why they have more points than other clubs.

Al Hilal and Al Ittihad faced each other in a match on September 22. Did you enjoy/watch that match? Al Hilal won that match 3-1 Goal. Only Karim Benzema scored a goal for Al Ittihad in that match and all the other players did not perform so well.

Yes ,you are right. We are  also expecting that Al-Ittihad will be winner of that tournament because that team played excellent in all matches and occupied first position on the table and that team has dominant personality players which can attack at any time and their team could win this match. Al-Hilal position is also good because that team have 31 points and that team played 12 matches and won 10 matches and 1 match was draw and 1 match lost by that team.  In the comparison Al-Nassr and Al-Qadisiyah are at low level and their players are not in this situation to play Openly.Al-Ittihad football team  is all time favorite team and no one can deny that because their performance is at top.

The Saudi Pro League is mainly for the competitive teams, they understand and know the routes to follow towards making sure, they lift major winning. The match we all be waiting for is finally here. Tomorrow is D-day, winning comes with huge differences. Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr, who you voting for the winning? For me, the best team will always come out with winning strategies and points. This is a cruel game for the Knights of Najd because winning comes with evident features. They recorded loss in previous meetings but when it was time for the big games, atleast they exhibits tangible odds that are placed up for grabs.
