Tuchel is the one that makes the most sense, not sure about Salah because he is from the region and there could be some political reason, not sure if there will be or not but I know there are some tensions for sure.

The thing about the rest is that those players are still on their prime, maybe not Casemiro but someone like Kevin De Bruyne? That dude is the most important player in Manchester City even at this age, he is passing the ball like crazy, just the other day everyone talked about how Haaland scored five goals, but did you notice that KDB actually had three assists that game as well? Both City will want to keep him, and KDB will want to stay at the very top, until he can't. I can see him going there in a few more years, but not anytime soon.

That's too bad to see Ronaldo is important like this for Al Nassr and without this player on their team they lose points even against a team like Al Hazm which is not a strong team to stand against a team like Al Nassr.
Maybe it's the time for Al Nassr to start thinking about alternative options and strategies for the time when they don't have Ronaldo in their team otherwise they are going to have problems like this happening again for Nassr in the game when they can't use Ronaldo for some reason.
I think this can show the difference between a team like Al Nassr and Al Hial because Al Hial got more points and had better performance because they weren't dependent on one player at all.

30 conceded goals is a sign that their bottom line needs to be improved. Laporte is good as an anchor below to guard Al Nassr's defense, but he himself will not be able to carry out his duties well if other defenders such as Amri and the two wing-backs forget their position when the team is building an attack.

What a good idea you offer that Al Nassr's defense is in trouble. Al Nassr's rival, Al Hilal, who will face Al Ittihad soon, has just conceded 10 goals.
If Al Nassr's bottom line is good, then they need to pay attention to defensive midfielders to help Brozovic.

In fact, Ronaldo's figure has an influence on Al-Nassr's performance. And yes, I was disappointed with the draw that Al-Nassr got in that match. But still it's much better than losing. But in that match Al-Nassr's attack line was actually fine. but the problem is in the midfield and back line which have many gaps. I think in that match Al-Nassr underestimated Al-Hazm so much that Al-Nassr focused their strategy too much on the attack line and they actually made the back line look weak. And the midfielders were also several times late in dropping back to help defend. And actually, both teams in this match had many opportunities which they failed to convert into goals. Especially Al-Nassr who had more opportunities but kept wasting them.

This match ended in a draw as the final result. Taawoun was not able to maximize the better statistic owned by the club. Taawoun has a poor defensive line that helped wehda to score three goals against it. There must be a rotation to be made in the defensive line of taawoun as a solution to fix this.



The result of ball possessions and total shot on target is explaining a lot. Taawoun owned the game, but it was missing many chances. Wehda was able defending quite well against taawoun even though it was not fortunate enough to win the game caused by taawound was scoring at the late game.
There is no change in the position in the current standing.

Taawoun has been missing an opportunity to gather three points. Wehda was almost amking it to steal three points but glad to see that taawoun scored the second goal.

No one yet knows for sure why Ronaldo was not played in the match against Al Hazm. However, one of the most reasonable assumptions is that Ronaldo is now old enough so that in the match against Al Hazm, Ronaldo was rested to restore his stamina. I think this assumption is also reasonable. However, if you suspect that Ronaldo was sanctioned for making inappropriate movements when Al Nasr faced Al Shabab, that makes sense. The reason is that many news media wrote news articles about Ronaldo's actions when dealing with Al Shabab. So basically these two things are reasonable reasons in my personal opinion.

Apart from Ronaldo not playing against Al Hazm. I think this has a negative impact on Al Nasr. Because I personally think it is very inappropriate for a team like Al Nasr to be held to a draw by Al Hazm. Because if you look at Al Hazm's footsteps in the SPL this season, your performance could be said to be less than good. So Al Nasr should be able to win easily over Al Hazm. However, Al Nasr was unable to bring home the win due to the negligence of its defenders in the final minutes.

So by failing to bring home victory over Al Hazm, Al Nasr must be able to learn lessons from the match. Because what I have monitored so far, Al Nasr's defense line is still a little weak. So even when faced with weak teams, Al Nasr often always concedes. Therefore, in my opinion Al Nasr needs new players for the defender position so that Al Nasr's defense can be even better.

After the altercation between Cristiano Ronaldo and the fans of Al Shabab last Sunday, the authorities of the Saudi Pro League found him guilty of violating their rules with the gestures he directed to the club fans and that was why he was handed a one match ban and was also asked to pay fine as punishment for what he did in that game. It was because of his one match ban that he was omitted from the Al Nassr's squad that played against Al Hazm last night in the Saudi Pro League. That being said, I think the Portuguese superstar must learn from what happened in that game at Al Shabab last weekend by controlling his anger against fans doesn't like him as a player and always wants to get to his nerves in other to avoid further similar punishment like the one that made him illegible to play for his team yesterday.

Away from the Cristiano Ronaldo's saga, the game between Al Nassr vs Al Hazm yesterday was truly an intriguing one for both teams. It was a thrilling encounter that saw both teams score four goals apiece and despite the fact that I wanted the home team to win the game, I mustn't shy away from the fact that I enjoyed every of the eight goals that was scored in the game. Talisca will be furious that in a game he managed to score a hat trick, it still didn't stop his team from failing to win. When Sadio Mane converted from the spot in the 94th minute of the game, I was thinking it was gonna be the last goal of the game and will ensure Al Nassr's win but surprisingly to me I think to many others, the visitors scored in the 99th minute to equalize and make sure they left with a point from that game.

Al Hilal team is the best team this season as they occupy the first place in the points table. No matter how many unique teams perform well, Al Hilal team has to come and lose because Al Hilal team is winning for five consecutive matches. At the moment most people will bet on Al Hilal team because they have many experienced players, but comparatively Al Ittihad team has less experienced players than Al Hilal team. So I think definitely Al Helal team will win this match.

Cristiano Ronaldo gets easily pissed by the supporters of his rivals and this will make him receive unnecessary sanctions.. He did it in a previous match against Al-Hilal were he put some clothes of Al-Hilal in his pants when a fan threw it on him and now this..
At the end, he failed to join the match of Al-Nassr vs Al-Hazm and his team lost two points. Talisca and Mane tried to replace him, especially Talisca with the three goals he scored but at the end the game ended with a draw.
Soon 10 points difference will be seen between the top two teams once Al-Hilal win against Al-Ittihad today.

Indeed, the effect is very visible if Cristiano Ronaldo is absent from the match then Al Nassr will not perform optimally because of the weakening of the Al Nassr team's defense and not only that apart from the weakening of Al Nassr's defensive strength. teams in the stadium also had an impact due to the lack of spectators present. there, because we all know that Cristiano Ronaldo is a public figure who is really liked by his fans so that not only the teams he supports compete but also the world's top players.
If at that time Cristiano Ronaldo could calm his emotions and not commit obscene acts towards the audience there, of course this would not have been possible and inevitably Cristiano Ronaldo would also have to pay a fine for the sanctions issued by Saudi Arabia. Football Federation (SAFF). ).

And this can be utilized well by the Al Hazm club because this is a big opportunity to score goals or win this match because in my opinion Al Nassr if there is no Cristiano Ronaldo then the Al Nassr team will have difficulty scoring goals.
The Cristiano Ronaldo factor is the one who often manages to score goals to defend the club he currently manages. In fact, what we currently know is that the Al Hazm club is a very weak team and the team is currently in a relegation period because the Al Hazm team has not been able to show their abilities in a match and it is possible that they will lose. The team often experiences many defeats so that the Al Hazm team is in the relegation zone this season in the Saudi Arabian League.
But can the Al Hazm team show all the fans when playing against Al Nassr without Cristiano Ronaldo that they are capable of winning this match? Let's just wait for the results.

It's ridiculous what he does when he hears name Messi. He is a 39 years old man, should be a lot mature to not do that. Even some 18 years old kids are more mature than him. Messi has more golden boots than him, won World Cup, even got an award of FIFA player of 2023. This drives him crazy and on top of that, fans chanting his name everywhere he moves, really makes him crazy, it's a total nightmare for him, for mentally such an obsessed guy to hear the name of this opponent everywhere. To be honest, he is living a nightmare.

I have no problem with mid and attack but al nassr really have very poor defensive line. It was performing even worst than before. How can al nassr get draw against al hazm? No more chance to talk about contender to win the trophy here. The game from al hilal vs al ittihad will begin soon. Here's the odds

Hilal 1.46 - Draw 4.60 - ittihad 5.60

Stadium : Kingdom arena (hilal's home)

I think that the gap will be even bigger and there's no chance for al nassr to get saudi pro league trophy this season. Al hilal is fully dominating the game and it will be winning the game against ittihad soon.
FYI. al hilal keeps being unbeaten and it will continue after al hilal will destroy al ittihad soon. It's only matter of time until al hilal will be winning the competition with big gap.

The result achieved by nassr will not even change the final result if al hilal will be winning the competition soon. Al hilal is the most balanced club and it will be once again faces ittihad. Benzema has been coming back to play as a winger but that shall not be a serious problem for al hilal.

yeah, it's true! Without Ronaldo, Al-Nassr struggles to secure a win. Their defensive line seems weak, but they show promise in their attacking game. However, defensively, Al-Nassr falls short of being world-class, which is a significant problem.

Despite taking the lead four times, they ended up conceding four times. Talisca always puts on a remarkable performance when Ronaldo is absent, but even his hat-trick couldn't secure a win. It's frustrating to see their defenders continuously giving away leads.

After their disappointing result against Hazm, I'm convinced that Al-Nassr is no longer a strong contender, so the league title will likely go to Al-Hilal. Al-Nassr definitely needs to strengthen their goalkeeper position. Al-Hilal's success can be attributed to having a solid goalkeeper like Bono.

Ronaldo absence in yesterday's match caused many losses from outside the field and inside the field, as you mentioned, the audience will be quiet when Ronaldo is absent because fans will not be present to see his performance and the streamers will only get a few viewers and on the field Al Nassr will suffer losses only able to share a draw against a team in the relegation zone while Al Hazm was actually unable to beat Al Nassr but in the absence of Ronaldo the victory could not be achieved to add 3 points to get closer to Al Hilal points.

I actually didn't expect Ronaldo to be absent from the match, in fact I thought everything was fine and after this I read a lot of media talking about this problem and it was a shame that Ronaldo was suspended just because of a problem at that time.

The value of the football played in Saudi Arabian right now has increased a lot, any player can actually move there. For Mo Salah, he looks already out of Liverpool because the club will not be able to keep him when klopp leaves, I believe he always knew that this was his last season at Anfield. Van Dijk may also make the money move since he has a very successful record already in Europe. Casemiro is another player who should accept to move to Saudi, Manchester United is too stressful for someone of his age.

Ronaldo is not a defender, and in Al Nassr's game, the defense was their problem. Al Nassr have good attacking players even without Ronaldo, they can rely on Talisca and Mane. Al Nassr will need to focus on bringing some defenders to join the team in the next transfer opportunity.

Honestly, I was very surprised by this news and seeing that Ronaldo was not on the squad list against Al-Hazm, it is possible that the speculation circulating was true. I think it was a one match penalty in last night's match because as we saw there was no Ronaldo in that match but strangely there was no further confirmation from Al-Nassr regarding this issue. I know that punishment will always apply, including for star players like Ronaldo, but it is quite strange that just because Ronaldo's previous response could make the Saudi league lose its appeal.

I mean, if Ronaldo doesn't play, I think few people will want to watch the Al-Nassr match and streaming services will also suffer if the star doesn't play. But despite all that, fortunately the depth of the Al-Nassr squad is filled with other great players so that everything can still be resolved. Anyway, last night Al-Nassr failed to win after drawing 4-4 against Al-Hazm and to be honest it was a very close match and everyone was still fighting before the end of the game.

Firstly, no ronaldo no party.

Secondly, weak defensive line as always.

There are no better words rather than calling the defensive line of al nassr as a garbage defensive line. What the heck these defenders were doing? They let al hazem scored 4 goals to equalize the game and got 1 point.

The fact is, al nassr has good attacking line, but it has very weak defensive lines combined with bad goal keeper that was always performing so awfully. We can't argue if al nassr is not comparable to the al hilal caused by it was not able fucking win against a mediocre club in saudi pro league.

This is another disaster for the club. Ronaldo was out caused by he got punishment after card accumulation, but he was feeling very disappointed with the result against hazm. I can't even believe it how hazm forced nassr to get draw against it. It's fucking crazy.

Al nassr was so garbage and its goal keeper reminds me with onana. I see no different between al nassr's goal keeper and onana.

Al-Nassr only can feel regret about themselves by scoring 4 goals but could not win the match. Again their players show that they are strong in attacking, not worse than Al-Hilal in attacking but they are not good in defense and it is core problem for their competition against Al-Hilal in this season.

Giving a weak team to score four goals and fails to get 3 points from this weak opponent, Al-Nassr wasted an opportunity to reduce difference against Al-Hilal. Al-Ittihad potentially can have points from Al-Hilal but with this draw, even a draw from Al-Hilal will not help Al-Nassr to reduce the point difference. The difference will be remain as 7 points or will be expanded to 9 points and Al-Nassr are farther from the Saudi Professional League title.

Al Nassr experienced 4 - 4 draw today in the match against Al Hazm and indeed this draw made Al Nassr have to be willing to lose full points because they only gave 1 point, they were even further behind and of course this made Al Nassr even more and find it difficult to pursue Al Hilal.
Indeed, in this match they were without Ronaldo and many people said that the failure was due to the absence of Al Nassr mainstay player who is goal machine, but I agree that this is an inaccurate statement.
Their opponents were only the lower team who occupy 17th position in the standings, plus this was a home match, I think this defeat occurred because of mistake from the back line which was less competitive.
For the front line, there are Mane and Talisca who can always play well and can create more goals in every match, they have quite good playing qualities and can even replace Ronaldo in contributing in every match.

This is surprise that often happens and makes big teams always feel big losses when they fail to save full points, in several other competitions, incidents like this happen very often and are experienced by big, strong team.

Ah your prediction was coming true. Wehda got draw against taawon. Tawwon was starting the game so badly but finally it did to scored the third goal and force the result to be draw. Mateus castro has scored the last goal for taawoun. Taawon was missed too many chances.
It has 9 shots on target in total but three goals scored against wehda. It surprises me to see that how al wehda was playing so equally against al taawound. Many people were wrongly predicted the result from this game. Losing three goals during the first half made me scared but draw is not the result that wanted by many bettors.

They were suffering huge lose from this match caused by i think that majority of bettors had put their bets on taawoun caused by the superiority owned by the club. It means that if al taawoun had been favored to win the game.

Surprisingly, wehda was able giving a hard game against taawoun and i was not even expecting it. Im also losing, this is the result that i didn't wanna see to happen. Wehda was scoring three goals at the firsthalf which was amazing.
Unable to win against wehda has put ittihad in another advantage caused by it will able to surpass taawoun and take 4th place position but since it doesn't even matter a lot caused by al hilal is totally owning the title. There's no team that can chase it.
