Ronaldo this season has great potential to end the season with the title of top scorer but it is indeed incomplete without the championship trophy title that can be achieved by al nassr, being the top scorer without a club that wins the league is certainly not unusual in my opinion because so far there that have been many things happening in the top European leagues,  Like Kane and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Ronaldo performance this season is quite good and it can even be said that if he is in his best form if we see his age, Ronaldo ability and sharpness in scoring certainly makes Al Nassr able to compete at the top level even though it is not able to make Al Nassr become champions this season.

Al Nassr failure to win the league certainly cannot be attributed to Ronaldo because after all, 33 goals and 11 assists from 29 Al Nassr games in all competitions are clear evidence of Ronaldo contribution to Al Nassr this season, Ronaldo good performance is not able to improve Al Nassr performance and it is fitting that Al Nassr conduct a thorough evaluation of the squad and also the performance of their coach next season,  If al nassr really want to compete for the championship next season, of course Al Nassr should bring in some new players to add to the quality of the club, besides it seems that the coach of Al Nassr this season is no longer worth maintaining next season.

Talisca's absence did not cause Al-Nassr's attack line to decline. Because having Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane there is enough to keep Al-Nassr's attack line strong.

But still, Talisca is one of the most reliable players when he is paired with Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, honestly, I see that Cristiano Ronaldo and Talisca's collaboration is better than Mane's. This happened because Talisca has been playing with Cristiano Ronaldo since last season. Meanwhile, Mane is only in this season. But at the end of this season, when Talisca had to be absent due to injury, we could see that Mane was indeed able to work well with Cristiano Ronaldo. It's just that everything would be more perfect if Talisca was there too. In fact, I'm sure that if Talisca hadn't been injured, this player would probably have been the player who scored the third most goals this season in the SPL.

We should look at Al Nassr performance in several matches as whole this season, if we compare Ronaldo and Talisca, it is clear that Ronaldo is far superior and with Ronaldo Al Nassr is able to improve his performance more strongly.
We can say that Al Nassr without Talisca can still play well because of Ronaldo, but remember that when Ronaldo was absent from the match it was also thanks to Talisca and Mane that Al Nassr was still able to play well, everything will come back to how solid Al Nassr squad.
Moreover, Talisca is also quite sharp striker like Ronaldo and so far when there are 3 core players Ronaldo, Talisca and Mane, Al Nassr attack line is truly perfect, just look at the collaboration between these three players when carrying out attacks which is very dangerous.

Many people hope that Talisca can recover for next season and he can return to playing for Al Nassr, so that competition for points and winning every match will be much easier.

If we critically analyze Cristiano Ronaldo's number of goals and assists this season, we'll definitely agree to the fact that the Portuguese superstar have easily been the best player in Saudi league as far as football in the league is concerned but despite his individual records, Al Nassr still weren't able to win the league title which i think goes a long way to further explain the simple logic that a player can not single-handedly decide the fate an entire team.
Cristiano Ronaldo without doubt have done his best for his club but for them to win trophies, the rest of the club players have to be at their best and that I don't think is happening at the moment. Al Nassr management must try their best to bring in more players that'll be contributing as much as Cristiano Ronaldo is doing for the team if they really want to succeed next season.

Why you didn't expect it? Don't you see that Al Nassr performance looks better in the last few matches. They never got a lose or a draw, they always won the matches. Moreover, Ronaldo performance is quite convincing recently, it is a good sign for Al Nassr. But Al Nassr still can't defeat Al Hilal although they scored very early in minute 1'. It was a great assist from Ronaldo and Otavio converted it to a fast goal for Al Nassr. Sadly, after the goal, Al Nassr always failed to score more goals, Ronaldo missed too many chances. Even worse, Al Hilal scored in minute 90+1' that makes it ended with a draw.

This is good for Al Nassr, a draw isn't a too bad result. I know we all see something better with Al Nassr performance. But we don't know how they can maintain the performance. The problem of Al Nassr is about keeping the consistency in playing. However, Al Nassr must have a chance to beat Al Hilal, they may be not as strong as in this season anymore.

Talisca's role is important in Al Nassr. But Al Nassr has some other top players, they don't rely on Talisca only. Ronaldo still can play well without Talisca, he even can play more effectively. I know Talisca can make the attacking line of Al Nassr be stronger but it won't happen if they can't have a good teamwork with Ronaldo. So it is about the teamwork, having Talisca doesn't instantly make Al Nassr be stronger.

SPL is such an amazing league to watch their SPL games been played. Cristiano Ronaldo is the main key man in Al Nassr and his presence have lured them to be the most popular SPL club currently. They've growned in popularity on social media platforms, all thanks to Ronaldo who's here to eradicate mediocrity and inputs standard pattern of an elite performance. Al Nassr have been on fire this season but they have to exert more energy next season because there's more to accomplish.

Al Hilal was very lucky to survive defeat, after receiving a penalty in the 90+10 minute. Apart from that, Al Nassr also did something extraordinary, they scored a quick goal after just one minute of the game. Meanwhile, with this draw, Al Hilal still managed to maintain their unbeaten record at domestic level.

No team has been able to beat Al Hilal this season in the SPL, where now the SPL only has two matches remaining, and it looks like Al Hilal will be able to sweep all these matches clean by winning. In fact, Al Hilal will face Al Nassr again in the final match of the Saudi Arabian King Cup, which is a good momentum for Al Nassr to try to give Al Hilal their first defeat.

Al Nassr needs to build better squad depth, and it looks like they also need to change managers so they can impress and win trophies. I didn't expect Al Hilal to be able to maintain this unbeaten record until now, their strategy is quite effective in dealing with every pressure, so they managed to win a trophy in the SPL this season.

This match is considered to be the biggest match currently in the Saudi Pro League because of the standing of these two teams in the league and with that result you will understand well why it’s a clash of the big boys. Yes the match ended in a draw but I feel it has better positives than any of their previous matches as it showed progress of this Al-Nassr side. In that match, you could see evidently that Al-Hilal were lacking the right strategy to use in going about the match and to some extent you can see how much they struggled in the match.

 For Al-Nassr, though they were only able to get a goal, that got the crowds rendering applauds, after that it seemed they had nothing more up their sleeves. The result was from this match was needed more for the Al-Nassr players to help boost their mentality for the new season and I think now you can see how much they have improved. I don’t think the defense line is as it was before, if not, I think they would have conceded up to 2-3, so you must commend the team for improving on errors.

 I think the final between these two will be one very thrilling one as we might be having lots of fun after their draw display yesterday. I think this Al-Nassr side could be having the day at the end of the final whistle in the Saudi King’s Cup and it’s something I really want to see.

It's true that everything requires contribution from everyone on the team. And just relying on a few top players won't work well if the other players aren't able to contribute well enough either. and Cristiano Ronaldo he has contributed well and so has everyone in the team. It's just that Al-Nassr still has some work they need to do to make this team better. Namely, Al-Nassr still has a fatal weakness at the back. And this should be a concern for the club to be able to bring in better players for the back line.

For Al-nassr, I am quite optimistic that this team will continue to get better and better in the next season. Because even though maybe Cristiano Ronaldo will be older next season. but I am quite sure that this football legend will still be able to become a very good player in the next few seasons. because his contribution to date at Al-Nassr is still the best and exceeds that of the young players there. Mane also looks more comfortable now. And maybe next season there will be additional new players from Europe. We don't know who. but I hope it is for the back line or midfield. Because for the attack line I feel that Cristiano Ronaldo, Mane and Talisca are enough.

It is not impossible that Al Nassr management will look for a more ideal coach to manage their team in the coming season. referring to Luis Castro's performance, especially if he is defeated again by his competitor in the King's Cup. Maybe his career with Al Nassr will be over, especially since his contract with Al Nassr is only until 2025. Which means, he only has one season ahead to handle Al Nassr. Sadly, it could be said that Al Nassr is the team that has the most competitive squad with the depth of players in terms of the material of the players. It's a shame that Luis Castro was unable to bring a trophy to the club and Ronaldo fans this season. well, if in the King's Cup he is unable to bring his team to win the trophy, I am not sure if this Portuguese coach will still manage Al Nassr next season.

In contrast to Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus is also a coach from Portugal. the difference is, he is more familiar to the middle eastern league than Luis Castro. Apart from managing Al Hilal in 2018-19, Jorge Jesus also managed Fenerbache and the various trophies he won with other clubs and the team he managed at that time. Apart from that, at least he understands Saudi Pro League football better than Luis Castro. Maybe that's why the Al Hilal coach was able to optimize his team until the 32nd match without defeat. Another fact is that Al Hilal is one of the teams that is difficult for its opponents to beat in the Saudi Pro League. Before Al Ittihad won the trophy last season, the League trophy holders for three consecutive seasons were dominated by Al Hilal. Now, Al Hilal has returned to its position at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.

Let's return to Luis Castro's discussion, based on the statistics of these two coaches, Jorge Jesus is more experienced than coach Al Nassr. Perhaps, the language problem was one of the obstacles why Al Nassr was less than optimal at the start of the season. After all, in the Saudi Pro League Al Nassr only lost 4 times in 32 matches. Luis Castro could be removed, and vice versa. he will probably be retained, especially if he is ultimately able to provide one trophy, even the King's Cup. but that is important for Al Nassr, especially since their opponents will be Al Hilal. If you lose in the King's Cup Final, then be prepared for Luis Castro, if his role as coach of the Al Nassr squad will be replaced. well, this is just based on my personal point of view and assumptions. We'll see what will develop after this season ends.

It's interesting what you think, unlike you I think that even CR7 can make a difference, not everyone at 39 years old looks like him and has the resistance, strength and speed of him, that is something that only CR7 demonstrates, if we compare He with the players who are from Portugal, is much more than Cancelo, Bruno Fernandez together, they do not have the experience or technique of him, much less the titles, and he continues to maintain himself, even so playing in a league. that is not the European team, it maintains a much higher level than the players who are shining in the UCL right now, that is like saying that Toni Kross and Modric are already old and can no longer do anything and should retire, that is what Should look at the quality and what is the best moment of a player, we remember that Buffon, the Italian goalkeeper, retired at the age of 44 and was still doing very well.

A single player can never make a match result for his team. A team consists of various players and each one tries to perform well in his position. When every player performs well in their respective positions, those who are responsible for the goals play better. Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely a name of inspiration for Al-Nassr and all the players of this club look to Ronaldo as their inspiration. Ronaldo is without a doubt the best player in the world and he has come to Saudi Arabia and he has done well for the team he has played for but as well as he has done well we have to say that all the other players have made important contributions. If Ronaldo stays in Saudi Arabia for a few more seasons and if he plays for Al Nasser I believe he will do well next season.

This season Al-Hilal is indeed superior to Al-Nassr, because Al-Nassr started the season poorly, resulting in losing several points at the start of the season, and Al-Hilal played very well from the start of the season, and yesterday's match between the two Al-Hilal teams Hilal managed to hold Al-Nassr to a draw at Al-Nassr's home ground, something good for Al-Hilal, but Al-Nassr's failure which you said was caused by C. Ronaldo's mistake was very excessive, Ronaldo played very well in that match, Ronaldo also managed to provide bait and became Otavio's goal.

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal's games were both good, Al-Nassr should have won, but a penalty in the last minute helped Al-Hilal make it 1-1, even though Al-Nassr played very well their defense was quite difficult to penetrate but With this mistake, they had to settle for sharing points with Al-Hilal.
In the King's Cup they will meet again, in my opinion here Al-Nassr can beat Al-Hilal to become champions, because with the match that happened yesterday there is a big possibility that Al-Nassr will win the match.

That's right, who would have thought that the victory that was clearly visible before our eyes would disappear after Al-Hilal managed to equalize in the final minute. In the end, Al-Nassr was still unable to overthrow Al-Hilal's dominance throughout this season and for Al-Hilal they continued to progress as the only unbeaten team in the Saudi league this season.

I think whether it's a penalty or not, it's still a detrimental thing because Al-Nassr can't increase their goal difference anymore and Ronaldo has disappeared again in a big match like this. It is also worth asking why Ronaldo always underperforms in important matches and is more productive when playing against relatively weak teams. If it continues like this then Al-Nassr will not continue to be able to depend on the star from Portugal and Ronaldo will also not be able to win his first Saudi league title here.

Your opinion is right and I don't blame you for that, yes it could be that by recruiting Neymar to join the Al Hilal team in the future Al Hilal will become increasingly well known by world football fans, because the factor of having the nickname of world famous player Neymar will have a huge influence on progress and development. al hilal in world football.
And of course, when recruiting Neymar to join the Al Hilal team, the management already has very thorough views and thoughts because the transfer fee is definitely expensive and hopes that Neymar can prove that he can be relied on for the development and progress of the Al Hilal team in particular.

Yes, there is no doubt that being a world-famous player has a big influence not only on his team but also on his teammates in his team and the events or clubs that are related to him.
What this means is that it could be that by bringing in Neymar as a transfer in the Saudi Arabian league, this event could become as popular as other league events and it is certain that there will be more and more people interested in watching every match in the Saudi Arabian league because it is increasingly visible that Saudi Arabia dares to recruit top European players to join Saudi Arabian clubs and this is a big advantage to increase the amount of profit earned by the Saudi Arabian league team in particular and it is not only Neymar who has contributed to the progress and development of the Saudi professional league this season, there is the player Cristiano Ronaldo who also has a big influence here.

Al-Hilal has certainly been better than Al-Nassr, humiliating them many times, but this time Al-Nassr seemed like the better side. However, Al-Hilal stole a draw with a last-minute penalty. Al-Hilal always fights until the last minute in every game, showing great spirit. The match ended 1-1, and Cristiano Ronaldo is to blame for Al-Nassr dropping points because he missed easy goal-scoring chances. It was a poor performance by Ronaldo, and his misses were costly for Al-Nassr, while Al-Hilal kept their unbeaten record in the Saudi Pro League.
At the beginning, Al-Nassr started strong with Otavio scoring an unexpected long-range screamer. Al-Hilal struggled to regularly get the ball into Al-Nassr's box. Hopefully, Al-Hilal will find their rhythm in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup.

yes, the match between Al-nassr and Al-hilal, even though the result was a draw, was exciting and lively because of course this is a prestigious match in the SPL because currently Al-nassr and Al-hilal are the strongest teams at the moment and of course Luis Castro succeeded in making Al- nassr was better than the previous match in the saudi super cup.

and in that match Jorge Jesus failed to create a powerful strategy to score a goal other than Mitrovic's penalty kick. The initial goal opened by Otavinho was completely unexpected and made the Al-hilal goalkeeper really not expect that Otavinho would make a hard and accurate kick. Yes, it's actually a shame that the time remaining after Otavinho scored Al-Nassr's goal couldn't score again even though time was still long and finally Al-Hilal got the chance to take a penalty kick and finally Al-Hilal scored against Al-Nassr and of course Al-Nassr is now getting better because usually Al-Nassr's defense always fails to prevent Al-Hilal, but now Castro is really showing Al-Nassr's way of playing and good strategy.

and it looks like in the Saudi Arabian king's cup Al-nassr will definitely appear confident because they were able to draw against Al-hilal in their last meeting against Al-hilal.

Maybe your assessment is right, but as far as I remember, Al-Nassr's 4 defeats so far, two of which occurred in the first two matches of the season, so it could be said that they started the season not well, but after that everything went better, but clearly not as good as their competitor, Al-Hilal, so, in my opinion, the team is in good condition, even if it fails to win the title, it may not be the right choice, even though it might change the team for the better, but to be able to match Al-Hilal's record next season, it's not entirely because of the coach but also the supporting squad, because they won't be defeated in one season is not an easy task, and not many coaches can achieve that, so I doubt replacing Luiz Castro will bring big changes at Al-Nassr

It Is unfortunate that Al Nassr failed to give the first defeat of the season to Al Hillal, apart from the penalty that the referee probably should not have given in the match but in my opinion Al Hillal is still too tough for Al Nassr, Throughout the match we can see if indeed Al Hillal is able to dominate the match and make the Al Nassr defense have to work hard enough to stop the attack that Al Hillal continues to build,  I see the strategy and tactics applied by Jorge Jesus are more effective in containing the defense built by Al Nassr after Al Nassr won a quick goal in the game, Al Nassr who only focused on playing on the wing they failed to improve the midfield that continued to be Exploited by Al Hillal players.

I think Al Nassr should consIder replacing Luiz Castro next season, because so far the tactics and strategies he has applied in the Al Nassr game have only been effective when facing weak teams, but when they face strong teams of course it Is clear that the Al Nassr game is not effective and that is why Al Nassr has to lose a lot of points this season.

This good performance of Al Nassr comes from an unimportant match with Al Hilal and this means it's hard to assess improvement of Al Nassr's performance and their defense ability in this match. Assume it is actual improvement, they must maintain it, continue to improve it in the summer and return next season to beat Al Hilal in their direct matches and in Saudi Professional League.

If Al Nassr actually recognized that their biggest weakness is in defense system, they will spend money to buy defensive players and improve this area in their squad. By doing this, they will become stronger in defense and more competitive against Al Hilal for the league title next season.
