Neymar is in Al Hilal team, dude. But he didn't play because he got injury for a long time.
Sure, every team must work hard to perform with their best. If Al Hilal could win the trophy last season, it is because they have quality players and can play consistently in the whole season. I think it is the point. 

Ronaldo is an ambitious player, he will never stop to make harder efforts. He knows he is a key player for Al Nassr, so he will always to make the best effort. Although he is already 39 years old, Ronaldo has no problem to play with his good performance. His stats last season proves that he still can maintain good performance. However, he can't do it alone, it is impossible to win the trophy if Al Nassr only relies on Ronaldo's performance.

Ronaldo gets full support from the depth of the squad built by Al Nassr, which at first glance looks like every player will prioritize Ronaldo to score goals. In my opinion, this is very reasonable, and in accordance with the purpose of the Saudi Pro League recruiting him from Manchester United. The Saudi Pro League popularity has increased since Ronaldo landed, whatever the Portuguese national team captain does will be trending, especially if Ronaldo continues to score goals every week. It must be admitted that not many players are able to survive at a level like him, it is natural that Ronaldo is considered one of the best of all time. Meanwhile, the age factor will continue to make Ronaldo physical condition decline, maybe next season his productivity will decrease, and that is understandable. The point is that Ronaldo is the spirit of Al Nassr, and also a magnet that attracts a number of European players.

Yes, you are right. Every game is different and every day is different and every team has  good and bad day and every player have to face good and bad days either he is good player or a bad player. Inter Milan team is good but in last match their day was not in favour of them and they could not do any single goal in this match. I appreciate to Al-Ittihad Club after losing two matches from which they lose match one sided. But they improve their performance and I saw one good thing in Al-Ittihad Club, that is defense. After doing one goal, they always try to stop the goal at any cost. They didn't attack with intense but they set defensive field and that's why they are winners of this match.

Cristiano is an active player that doesn't give up and always available to deliver his team. In desperate moments, Ronaldo have turn up for this club and have become a key player for Al Nassr. They can completely not do without the player and this is recognizable to be the entire key moments for the Portugal international. Ronaldo at 39, still very competitive and even more valuable than other tender players, Ronaldo stats for his club surpass other players in the early 20s and 30s. He's entirely a different breed from the rest.

As a soccer fan we have to understand these pre-season games usually having no impact on clubs performance for the season but still many are feeling Al Nassr performance is going to be had no impact but coming season is going to be challenging for them and opponents because we are having some improvement in defense, and they are surely going to have positive things in coming season.

Most chances we will have all four cubs under PIF ownership going to have strong hold at the top because they are having enough sources for the staying at the op but as we are having some positive changes in few clubs things can go challenging which will surely increase the competition and fans will be able to have good soccer with Saudi League is already having good look in last season organizers are looking for more improvement because they are having good targets for this league and its future.

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo age of 39,  last season scored a whooping 44 goals for his club Al Nassr last season which included 33 league goals 31 league matches but following his goalless outing with the Portugal national team in the just concluded European Championship and the fact that he was showing signs of a man who's been caught up with age in the games he played this summer for his national team, I'm worried if the Al Nassr captain will be able to deliver another impressive performance for his club in the new season that'll kick off in 11 days from now. Do you think he'll do well this coming season or not?

My guess in the coming season is not only Al Hilal who is able to block Al Nassr's progress, several other teams who are competitors in the LPS are trying to deepen their team squads. Al Ittihad has started to move to bring in several newcomers, Moussa Diaby is one of them. Maybe there will be several newcomers that Al Ittihad will recruit, either for the defense line or several players for various positions. There are other teams who are also starting to move to increase their strength in this summer's transfer window, Al-Ahli is reportedly eyeing several European League players. Clearly this effort is made to deepen the team to be more competitive, they will work hard to compete with other top teams in the new season. There is also a promotion team that has brought in several well-known players, Al Qadisiyah seems to be planning to start right away in order to provide competition for the Saudi Pro League. As for Al Nassr, they have brought in Bento, a goalkeeper from Brazil. While Seko Fotana, he has returned from being loaned to Al Ettifaq. thus, Al Nassr has fulfilled their foreign player quota. So, I doubt they will bring in other players outside Saudi. unless, some of their foreign players leave or are loaned. Likewise with Al Hilal, they still have a quota to bring in European players. well, interesting isn't it, at least the competition next season is quite competitive.

When it about Al-Nassr not making many player purchases, the reality is that Al-Hilal is also the same as Al-Nassr who are not active in the transfer market this time. After all, the fact that is very active in bringing in players in this transfer market is Al-Ittihad when comparing between the three teams. Thus, then I think it is not a big problem if they are not too active in this transfer market because perhaps, they are still confident in the squad they have at this time with Ronaldo who is still very ready to compete.

Also about Al-Hilal, to be honest I personally really look forward to Neymar to play actively next season, unlike last season who only tried to recover from his long injury. But indeed, the hope for Ronaldo fans is to get a trophy, because so far Ronaldo has still failed to make Al-Nassr get a trophy in this Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr is having a quieter transfer period. They sent Ospina off the team and brought in Bento. Bento is a young Brazilian goalkeeper. They saw great potential in him. The fact that young players are also joining the Saudi league shows that Saudi Arabia has become a center of attraction. They have become one of the important countries for football in two years. This is an important investment for the Saudis

Al Nasr's side have changed their game this season especially compared to last season, although Al Hilal won the trophy last season.  But now in the present time Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nasr's team still performs best if he gets the support of the unique player. As always, Al Hilal teams have played without Neymar for a few days when they are leading this season. 

Although Neymar was not present in the Al Hilal team, that is why Al Hilal team is at the top of the points table but they have to work hard this season. Because the players have to work hard. A hardworking one is enough to take them to the top of success.

Al-Nassr is still the main competitor of Al Hilal next season. My mind initially about several teams in the Saudi League still did not get answers even though last season Al Hilal remained a team that won the Trophy.
The competition next season will not change at least the two teams, maybe those who will enter the team competition such as Al experts and Al Ittihad.
Ronaldo is still possible to get new colleagues because Al Nassr is still trying to get players with the current recruitment strategy.

Being positive is great, but let's not sugarcoat the truth. Al-Nassr's preseason is messy. It's not just preseason nerves when you see methods that don't work together and mistakes in strategy. Yes, these games are just a practice run, but you need to see some kind of plan. Now? These people seem to be winging it. And SPL is a race to get more powerful. Teams are changing and getting better. Al-Nassr? They're not moving at all. That's not good

During the preseason, you should look for flaws and fix them. Quickly. Those in charge of Al-Nassr? It looks like they're not paying attention at the wheel.  They need to wake up quickly because they are going to lose when the season starts. Dear reader, this is not a practice run. It's a shot to warn. Change or die. That's how the SPL really works

Maybe you don't know that Al-Nassr has brought in a new player for next season? He is a goalkeeper from Brazil and he is still quite young. Bento Matheus Krepski previously started his career at the Brazilian team Athletico Paranaense and spent three years there. He is also registered as a goalkeeper for the Brazilian national team even though he rarely gets the chance to play.

So for the defense line, especially the goalkeeper, it is quite safe for Al-Nassr because they get a pretty good goalkeeper and it's just a matter of how they can reduce the number of goals conceded to be less. Although Bento Matheus Krepski is not a big name, it is hoped that he can be the best solution for Al-Nassr at this time.

Things like these are part of play and life for the sportsman but still mostly are feeling second tenure of Cristiano Ronaldo at the Manchester United were mistake because things were not ideal, and he was also having problems with coach Eric Ten Hag which ended his career in UEFA, and now he is enjoying his last session of play in Saudi League where now he is having too many records in front of his name and his performance is also at the top even he fails to bring trophies for the Al Nassr, but things are impressive.

Now we are having extension for him with most chances his career will be ended after the end of the 2026 as he is also having his eyes fixed on becoming first player in soccer history with 1000 goals in career which could be huge achievement for him and Al Nassr with his performance in last season we can expect another good season for him.

In just a few weeks the Arab League will start but so far a team like Al Nassr has not made many changes to their squad, Al Nassr has had several friendly matches and the majority of these matches ended badly for Al Nassr, this is also what makes me doubt that Al Nassr will be able to  compete next season in the championship trophy competition, Indeed the results of pre-season matches do not always indicate whether the team performance is bad or not in official matches, but if we look at Al Nassr performance in last season and also the current pre-season we cannot deny that next season Al Nassr  with the same squad will not be much different from last season, competition in the Arabian league next season will be very tight considering that the big teams and even the teams that were promoted this season have carried out a lot of transfer activities to strengthen their squad.

That way they will also get a lot of experience that they will get by facing teams from Europe, clearly this is something that is beneficial by utilizing the time available before the league starts. Indeed, in friendly matches they have to find a team that is stronger than them so that it can add flying hours when facing teams that are stronger than them. Victory is not everything in a match like this, because there are other things they can get than just chasing victory.
The teams must get rid of the mindset of being able to win in friendly matches, not that they are not allowed to achieve it, but they must not be very disappointed when they lose, because there are other things they can get. This is a form of preparation before they play the real match, so they must use this to try the strategies they have, and they can also try all the players in the squad.

A player's career is like night and day, sometimes his life is very bright and other times he is very dark.  

Ronaldo's first club in Europe was Manchester United. He probably wanted to finish his career with Manchester United. Joining Manchester United in the second round was the biggest mistake for Ronaldo as we saw him never get the respect he deserved and he was sidelined and other players were allowed to play. When he was regularly disappointing for Manchester United, we didn't imagine that he could come to Saudi Arabia as his next destination because we didn't know much about this league before. He introduced us to a new league by signing Al Nasser and since his departure the number of European players going to the Saudi League has increased.  

Al Nasser and Ronaldo have mutually benefited from signing each other so I think Al Nasser will definitely let him finish his career at the club with respect.

For next season I don't expect much from Al-Nassr because I didn't see them doing anything I mean they are not trying to get new players to compete with Al-hilal even though we know that with the current squad Al-Nassr is always under Al-Hilal so Al-Nassr should prepare itself if it really wants to compete. Do you think Ronaldo will get a new teammate? I hope so yeah especially in defense and goalkeeping which looks weaker than last season.

Edit: Oh yeah Al-Nassr already have a new goalkeeper from the Brazilian league Bento is one of the goalkeepers from the Brazil team who made his debut last March so that means Al-Nassr just need a few more players in the defense line. 18 Million is a cheap price for Bento? as a young player he preferred the Saudi Pro League than Europa clubs.

Al Nassr have bad pre season matches but its not problem because their current starting line up still not completed yet and Cristiano Ronaldo not return yet to the club. I think Al Nasr have huge target for next season keep in the domestic league winner indeed the rival teams such as Al Ittihad got good result on pre season matches.
Recently Al Ittihad success defeating Inter Milan on pre season matches and unbelievable result have the Saudi Pro League teams success defeating the Scudetto winner team.

The schedule of Saudi Pro League matches still take two weeks later, all team have ebough time get prepare with their squad and improving performance on pre season match, for next season seems difficult for predicting who will be the winner.

I did not watch the friendly match between Al Ittihad and Real Betis, nor do I have any statistical data for this match. However, considering that Betis is a mid-table La Liga team, it is natural that Al Ittihad lost. In addition, this match is just a friendly match. Whether Pellegrini or Laurent Blanc prioritizes the readiness of their players, while trying to tinker with the rotation of players and the system they implement. What is certain is that Laurent Blanc will use this friendly match to measure and evaluate his team. I suspect that Laurent Blanc will be targeting some reliable defenders. At least, Al Ittihad has the option to bring in some European players. In another friendly match, Laurent Blanc experimented again and changed his system. The results were quite good, Al Ittihad won over Inter. Once again, this match is just a friendly match, usually coaches will use it to experiment or prepare the fitness of their players ahead of the official campaign. Referring to the pre-season match played by Al Ittihad, I am quite sure that the club or Laurent Blanc will evaluate their team and perhaps target the players they are targeting as needed in the team.  well, at least in the friendly match played by Al Ittihad finally won one match and defeated a strong team from Serie A. However, winning or losing does not affect their points, it is a friendly match. However, the results they get in the pre-season can be evaluated so that Al Ittihad is much more prepared and stronger when the Saudi Pro League starts.
