Al Hilal progressed smoothly even without their mainstay striker, namely Mitrovic. they were able to overcome the match against Al Akhdood with a fairly big win, namely 3-0. Jorge Jesus' team was able to play optimally, even without their mainstay player as a goal scorer in their squad. Saleh Al-Shehri was able to answer Jorge Jesus' trust in this match, who was given the responsibility and opportunity to become the main starter as a pure striker. This local striker contributed 1 goal for his team, at least Al Hilal is still on the right track even though Mitrovic is absent. Jorge Jesus also gave local young stickers a chance, even if only as a substitute.

Referring to the course of the match, Al Hilal dominated ball possession. also, in terms of the opportunities they have as well as based on technicalities. as a result, Al Hilal has almost never been defeated in the 26 matches they have played in the Saudi Pro League. Nevertheless, it is very natural that Al Hilal was able to defeat the opposing team quite smoothly. After all, Al Akhdood is a promotion team which is currently ranked 15th. well, the Saudi Pro League only has a few more matches left in the future. Jorge Jesus' squad only has to win a few more matches in the future, so that the Saudi Pro League trophy will be theirs again.

Ronaldo wants to secure the top scorer position for him. That's why he is very motivated to continue scoring many goals. 
However, it is incredible that making 2 hat-tricks in a row. Moreover, the current hat-tricks is made in the first half of the match only. He is replaced by another player in the early of second half. So, he has no chance to score more goals.

It is good that Al Nassr still plays with their best performance although they will never win the trophy of Saudi league. It indicates that Al Nassr still has a good motivation to join the race for the title again in the next season. Winning the remaining matches is also important to secure their position as the runner up in Saud league.

They win with 8 goals, mate.
Yep. Ronaldo becomes the MVP in this match, scoring 3 goals and 1 assit.
I think Ronaldo can score more goals if he can play until the end of the match. But the coach seems to feel worried if he gets injury.

Whatever Ronaldo does after retiring, he will still make money every minute, become a coach or continue playing until whatever age Ronaldo is always a trending topic. We can see that the prestige of the Saudi League has become more prestigious after Ronaldo arrival, not only that, his presence has also become an attraction for other top European players at the moment.

I predict Ronaldo will become a coach, because his understanding of football is beyond doubt, he will also be a good leader for any dressing room. Besides that, we cannot predict with certainty how far Ronaldo will continue to play, but I think there is a possibility that he will retire at Al Nassr.

Currently, Ronaldo leads the list of top scorers in the SPL by collecting 29 goals, most recently Ronaldo scored a hat trick in the Al Nassr versus Al Abha match. Unfortunately, after being strengthened by Ronaldo, Al Nassr has not been able to win the SPL trophy, but it does not rule out the possibility that next season their dream will be realized. Al Nassr will again hunt for top European players to add depth to the squad.

What a great week for CR7! Ronaldo made 2 hat-tricks in just 3 days. Even though Al Nassr has lost their championship chance, they continue to get good results. Today they had an important away win with 7 goals. The score was 5-0 at half time. Ronaldo scored 3 goals and made 1 assist and didn't play in the second half. He did these in just 45 minutes, who knows what else he would have done in 90 minutes. But there was no need to risk him after this score at half time. Mane scored the other goal and was also substituted at half time.

Aleksandar Mitrovic played in the Premier League from 2015 to 2023 based on the graph, the performance is unstable maybe that's the reason why the top teams did not glance at him, Mitrovic decided move to Saudi Pro League at the age of 29 years well, that is the ideal age to get out because it is impossible to compete with other young players. Now Mitrovic reaches its peak in his career as a machine goal and maybe he will end his career in this league because he is not possible to compete in European leagues, we are still waiting for whether he is able to rival Ronaldo as the top score in the Saudi Pro League, he still has the opportunity to pursue based on the remaining match schedule.

Mitrovic is a fucking beast, i dont really know why he never has the chance to play in a much bigger team, he only reach Premier League ina  mid team like Fulham, maybe it was his behaviour or undiscipline in some cases? I dont know but he is a machine in goalscoring. Fighting with Cristiano now in this league to be the top goalscorer.

In the case that no Saudi League team has been approved to play in the Champions League so far, no matter how many goals different stars score in the Saudi League, they will not receive an annual award from UEFA. When Cristiano Ronaldo left Europe for Saudi Arabia, we thought he would be the best player in the Saudi league and top goal scorer every season. Cristiano Ronaldo is in his 40 but he has been doing well for the club so far and the star is seen scoring in almost every match.  
We have seen the results of many matches where Cristiano Ronaldo's goals alone have won his team. Ronaldo may stay in Saudi Arabia for a few more seasons even though he is over 40.

Agree with your opinion, as a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo I don't agree if there are those who still have doubts about Cristiano Ronaldo's abilities to this day, yes, even though he is no longer as young as before, when compared to his performance, Cristiano Ronaldo's ability to play on the field can still be said to be worthy and still natural that many people admire his greatness.

It's true that even though the SPL doesn't exist as well as other European leagues or other leagues, the entry of top European player Cristiano Ronaldo will bring good luck to the SPL of course and maybe in the SPL there will be many young or new players who have the best qualities who are motivated by the SPL. The world's top stars will slowly try to explore the greatness of the success they have achieved so far.

It shall be blamed caused by al ittihad was showing garbage performance in this match. Look at this



Al ittihad would not be losing against ahli if it was not missing a lot of changes. I have seen that al ittihad threatening mendy several times but it has a very poor execution which was also costing the club a lot. The chance for al ittihad to climb up is not there. It makes many bad opinions are going to the al ittihad caused by its poor performance.
Ahli did very well even though it was getting a lot of pressures from al ittihad in the game. I was watching the game and ittihad was playing very offensive in this game. Glad to see that al ittihad's attackers were doing bottle jobs and they are all missed a lot of opprotunities.

The lost against al ahli is making the situation even worst for al ittihad caused by the club has no good progress even with the help a lot of european players.

Ronaldo has spent most of his career in the Europa League and even if Ronaldo wanted to, of course he could still play in Europe because his still good form as a footballer, we all consider European stars who play in the Arab League especially Ronaldo has entered the end of his career, but I personally assess if for now Ronaldo is still very capable to play in a competitive league as Zlatan Ibrahimovich once did Previously, as an experienced player of course he would be able to manage his style of play to play smarter than relying on his physique and that is why he is still a mainstay of Portugal today.

I think wherever Ronaldo plays he will certainly be highly respected because of his attitude that is not arrogant, besides that the healthy lifestyle that he continues to live until now is certainly an enviable example by other footballers and of course a role model for his fans around the world, admittedly or not but Ronaldo's arrival in the SPL has a great influence in lifting the popularity of the SPL today.

Who knows since ronaldo can change his mind anytime. Yet there was an article that has discussed about this https://www.goal.com/en/news/what-will-cristiano-ronaldo-do-when-he-retires/10rc1rz38smcd18aetazzo83dn

Ronaldo inconsistently saying about what's his plan after he will retire from football. Becoming a coach is still obviously possible to happen since he wasted all of his time since he was young in the football. At least become a director of club if he has no demand to be a coach.

True but i think that since ronaldo is fully experienced in the football and it sounds strange if he will be back again as an actor or something else. Becoming a coach makes sense. Ronaldo probably has plenty of business.

This can also become his alternative but i'd liked to see him to be a coach. Even if it's still in my imagination, but that's worth to wait it what's gonna be the future plan of him.

I will not blame Al-Ittihad's defeat against Al-Ahli because Marcelo Gallardo's squad has indeed experienced a decline in performance since the start of the season and even if they face a balanced team they cannot be fully expected to win. I am aware that Al-Ittihad is not a serious threat in the title race this season and against weak teams sometimes the results are less than satisfactory.

Al-Ahli deserved to win even with a narrow score and that could make them comfortably sit in 3rd position in the standings after not winning the previous two matches. I think next season Al-Ahli will have to work hard again in the title competition considering they have everything including the European players they have recruited which will make the team stronger.

That is the greater value of Cristiano Ronaldo. He is ambitious on the field which makes him the most enthusiastic player on the field. And he is a player who doesn't give up easily. He always builds motivation for his fellow teammates. So many of his teammates even admire him. And yes, his healthy lifestyle is actually worthy of emulation by other players who want to stay fit even though they are no longer young like Cristiano Ronaldo. So it is not surprising that he has so many fans throughout the world.
And what I like most about Cristiano Ronaldo is the way he respects his family, especially his mother. And actually Cristiano Ronaldo also always helps his colleagues in training, especially young players. Even in al-Nassr there are many videos circulating showing al-Nassr players practicing how to kick like Cristiano Ronaldo. And it seems Talisca succeeded in imitating him. So several times Talisca made beautiful free shots like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yes, the SPL is different from the European League where the competition is quite fierce, but is it wrong if we still admire the figure of Ronaldo who once made the European League proud thanks to his good performance as a star player in the European League, just like Messi and Myanmar. Ronaldo is the best player of his time as well as in the SPL because this league is not too difficult for Ronaldo to score a lot of goals. I think it doesn't matter if we admire him. There are not many European players who still play well in the SPL. Even though in the European League they play well. We shouldn't underestimate the SPL lower league just because Ronaldo is the top scorer in the SPL even though Ronaldo still has the same rival as Mitrovic in the SPL top scorer list.

Ittihad FC lost by a narrow score to Al-Ahli, and this is the first defeat after three consecutive wins, for Ittihad FC no longer has a target for this season in the Saudi pro league, and Ittihad's only chance this season is in the Saudi Super cup.
Karim Benzema hasn't scored a goal for a long time and this is certainly not what Benzema and Ittihad FC want because this team expects him to be a productive striker and he has only scored nine goals with seven assists this season.

Next week they will face Al-Wahda in the semifinals Saudi Super Cup and their chances are very big to get to the final because Al-Wahda often had difficulty beating Ittihad. and their opponents in the final are quite tough, namely Al-Hilal or Al-Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo become an athlete with good healthy lifestyle, this was once told by his former colleague at Manchester United Patrice Evra, where at home Ronaldo never consumed soda, alcohol or drinks that were not good for his health. I think a healthy lifestyle means that Cristiano Ronaldo remains in pretty good form even though he is 39 years old and continues to consistently score goals every game until he becomes the temporary top scorer this season.
Usually many top European players when reaching their age over 39 years old most of them retired from football and not balance yet with their physical, I am so excited with Cristiano Ronaldo become most professional athlete and never drink or eat some thing outside as for football players. Not only with good lifestyle but also Ronaldo become good figure for young players how most early in training center and go home most lately to get additional training.

Ronaldo is a very great footballer today. So the possibility of him becoming a football coach will definitely be very big. Apart from that, if Ronaldo becomes a football coach in the future, I am sure the price to bring in Ronaldo will definitely be very expensive (to train). So in this case I totally agree with @x-ray. Because if, for example, Ronaldo continues to play football until he is over 45 years old, in my opinion it is unlikely. Because, even though Ronaldo is a footballer who is very disciplined in managing his lifestyle. So he can still be very fit today. But even so, Ronaldo is a human who certainly has certain limitations. So in my opinion, it is unlikely that Ronaldo will play football until he is 48 years old.

And talk about the wider career that Ronaldo could pursue after retiring as a football player. In this context I completely agree with @arallmuus' assumption. The reason is, currently Ronaldo is like a world superstar. Maybe most people in the world already know Ronaldo. So, if, for example, Ronaldo wants to become an artist or actor after retiring from football, I don't think it will be difficult for Ronaldo to get a positive response from this. The reason is that until now Ronaldo often stars in advertisements for various products.

So in essence, both of your opinions are not wrong. Because the two assumptions you both put forward are very reasonable. However, I personally would add a little, namely don't forget that Ronaldo currently owns a company. So it is also possible that after Ronaldo retires from the world of football, he will focus on the business world.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is the only player who is able to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo to become the top scorer in the Saudi league and the total goals obtained by Alexsandar Mitrovic are almost close to those obtained by Cristiano Ronaldo, therefore Ronaldo tries to continue scoring goals in every match he plays this season so that Alexsandar Mitrovic cannot have the opportunity to overtake Ronaldo in the top scorer list. It would be very painful if Ronaldo also failed to get the top scorer title because his club no longer got any titles, so at least one of the Al Nassr players got an individual title. At least Al Nassr's name was also dragged into it even though they didn't get a domestic title or the AFC Champions League.

And the hat trick that Ronaldo did in the Al Ta'ee match was really amazing because Ronaldo created the first two goals in close time and created the third goal as well as the final goal for Al Nassr's victory, thanks to the 3 goals created by Ronaldo Al Nassr won with a big score namely 5:1, really a very good win for Al Nassr because the club they were playing against was a weak club in the league so it was quite easy for Al Nassr to beat them and this hat trick adds to Ronaldo's goal collection in the Saudi league.

Wait what? I cant even picture him as a coach lol. I think he might even play until the age of 48 or something considering that his whole life was prepared to play football for almost forever.

If he ever retired, there will be tons of other jobs opportunities waiting for him. He could be pretty much a model for anything. Whatever he wears will most likely sells like crazy. Even better, picture him as an actor because thats a possibility for him as well. Imagine getting him on a screen, tons will be willing to watch him play a role on screen

Well, looking at Cristiano Ronaldo's current age, he has entered the age of 39 and is approaching 40, but he can still score a lot of goals even though only against ordinary teams, that is still an extraordinary achievement and an achievement that we very rarely see from a 39 year old player. In fact, many football legends in the past also moved to easier leagues when they entered old age. But most of these legends were unable to become top scorers even in mediocre leagues. But Cristiano Ronaldo managed to do his best at his current age. Well, we know that many European star players have come to the SPL and we can see that now only Cristiano Ronaldo is able to score lots of goals. And of all the European players who have come to the SPL, only Cristiano Ronaldo is over 39 years old. And yes, this is an extraordinary achievement for a player at his age.
