It was good for shabab but it's bad for rakitic caused by he will be joining in the mediocre club. I think that i hope he will find a better club to play but since he will be using it as a retirement club then i think that's good enough consider he wil get good salary from there. I think that this is the main problem that has been encountered by him caused by there was no european club that has interest to recrit him as a new player. This offer is not that bad for him but i hope he can find a better option. He can start to send his proposal to go to the other club. Let's see what's gonna be his final decision but as long as he will find to play in al shabab and im feel good with it.

He can at least continue his career as a football player caused by he was not young anymore. This means that if may be looking for the good salary that being offered by saudi pro league club. this is very useful caused by the club can perform better with him.
Rakitic was not young anymore and  he can at very least play for the professional football competition like saudi pro league. I must say that if this is still an acceptable decision by him.

Ivan Rakitic has been a household name in European football for the last decade especially in Spain and his arrival to the Saudi Pro League will further expose the league to a wider global audience as many people would be turning their attention to the Saudi league whenever his new club Al Shabab is in action.

When I first read about the report that the former Barcelona player who helped Barcelona to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy in the 2014/15 season was bound to join Al Shabab, I was very surprised and also happy for the development of football in the Saudi league for the past one year. With the presence of Ivan Rakitic in the Al Shabab team, they're definitely going to improve in their performance because Rakitic isn't only going to bring his technical know-how to them but will also help in grooming other young players in the team in to becoming very solid and impressive performers with his experience as a former European star footballer.

but I don't want to see him coach any team. he is very good on the field, and he is also very good at encouraging his teammates. he can be the driving force of the team. and everything he has built amazingly, I hope it won't be destroyed when he coaches a club.
We have seen several names of top European players who have decided to train clubs. there are successful ones like Xavi and Xabi. but some always fail and even get cursed by fans.
If Ronaldo has to retire at Al Nassr, that wouldn't be a bad ending for him.

Rakitic is old and Al-Shabab knew about that so they only signed one year contract with Rakitic. They maybe will expand it if he plays well for them in his first season in Saudi Professional League. Rakitic is a midfielder from a generation of Modric, Mandzukic and Perisic in Croatia. Together they made a golden generation for Croatia and went too deep in World Cup, Euro and Nations League.

Al Shabab can hope that Rakitic with his experience will be able to help them to control midfield well and increase their creativeness in attacking as well.

Rakitic can not change Al-Shabab intirely because with his position, very few midfielders are able to change a whole team. Now with his age, it's harder to achieve that big mission but he can help them a little bit in quality, ball possession and can help other players in Al-Shabab play better.

Yes, it's true, he also looks happier, more comfortable and enthusiastic when he's here, we didn't see that when he was in the Manchester United uniform. I started to believe what Ronaldo said about the real situation at Manchester United, from the atmosphere in the dressing room to the situation surrounding Manachester United's management.
We can see him being successful once again with a different club, even though he hasn't won the SPL title for example, but we can't deny that his performance was also very good here and made a big contribution to Al Nassr's game.
But I'm still curious when he retires. Is he interested in coaching? Will he become a coach? If yes I want to see if he will be as successful as his career as a player? that's what's on my mind now.

Ah, it seems I'm missing out on information regarding the development of the Saudi Pro League teams. so, I immediately went looking for the latest information regarding Ronaldo. referring to several newspapers that I read, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly returned to training and is taking part in preparations for the duel between Al Nassr and Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup match at the Kingdom Stadium, next Friday. reportedly, after one week of recovery, Arab Media Arriadiyah reported that Cristiano Ronaldo participated in 70 percent of Al Nassr's training program in preparation for facing Al Hilal, Saturday, local time. in short, Ronaldo has reportedly recovered. so, it seems that Ronaldo will be fielded when Al Nassr plays against Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup. thus, this match should present a fierce battle between the two top Saudi Pro League teams.

Talking about Inter Miami, this team from the MLS League is filled with Barcelona legend players and one of them is Leonel Messi. IMO, just being an entertainment team or a complementary team, in the end the real match is the Al Nassr versus Al Hilal fight. referring to the last point you said, I would prefer if this match showed more of a battle of prestige between these two teams. so, we just hope that when the time comes, both teams will provide a very interesting battle for us to watch.

Still in the atmosphere of European player transfers, there are new arrivals in the Saudi league and they are certainly familiar with this great figure and yeah Ivan Rakitic has officially joined Al-Shabab. After spending his entire career in Germany and Spain, the former Schalke, Sevilla and Barcelona player finally started to think about ending his retirement by joining a Saudi league team. Ivan Rakitic will be in a competition with other European players such as Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane etc. and Ivan Rakitic's contract will end in 2025.

If you look at Al-Shabab's performance this season, it has dropped quite drastically and they really need to add depth to their European players so they can compete again with the elite Saudi league teams and I think the right decision was to choose Ivan Rakitic in this transfer. He is an experienced midfielder and there is no doubt about his quality. Even though his prime is over, at least at the Saudi league level he is still good enough to boost the team.

With the benefits that Saudi Arabia has gained by bringing Ronaldo to its club, it is evident that La Liga Saudi Pro is slowly starting to become known to everyone and as a supporter of the Saudi club, currently I see Cristiano Ronaldo looking very enthusiastic and enthusiastic. have fun. His career is currently in Saudi Arabia and as proven by Ronaldo's goal contribution which reached 4-1, he ended 2023 sweetly after winning against Al Taawoun on Sunday, December 31.


What you say is true, apart from contributing on the field, Cristiano Ronaldo also has a big influence in advancing the Saudi Pro League in the world because with his current popularity, Cristiano Ronaldo has made the Saudi Pro League one of the best leagues in the world. world. that's the main goal.
And of course, to support the progress of Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to invite European footballer friends to come to Saudi Arabia, even though only a few players such as Karim Benzema, Neymar, Sadio Mane etc. Cristiano Ronaldo hopes so. his friends will soon follow Al Nasr. . Let's just wait for further news.😊

The Saudi League is a rich league, therefore clubs in the Saudi League do not have financial problems and they can easily recruit European star players with the finances they have even at high prices, such as when Al Nassr bought Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, Al Hilal bought Neymar from PSG and also Ittihad brought Karim Benzema from Real Madrid. They are star players in the European league and the transfer fees are not small so the Saudi league can still recruit these star players to advance the league itself.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the player who has had the biggest impact in the Saudi League and thanks to him the Saudi League has become famous because there are so many Ronaldo fans in various parts of the world that it has made the Saudi League even more popular since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi League, especially clubs like Al Nassr and even got tickets playing in the Champions League like a rumor I've heard because there might be Ronaldo at the Al Nassr club.

This injury seems to be serious for Cristiano Ronaldo and in his career, he rarely missed many matches because of injuries. It seems that ageing starts to affect his body and his recovery speed. Al Hilal and Al Nassr seem to at similar level and their direct match can be decided by star players. Missing Cristiano Ronaldo in a big match like this will be a big minus for Al Nassr but if he has yet recovered, he can not play and Al Nassr's coach can not request Cristiano to play.

Al Nassr does not have only Cristiano Ronaldo and with Talisca, Mane, they still have good attacking power. They must focus on defense in the match and avoid to start with serious attacking because it will give Al Hilal's great chances to make dangerous counter attacks.

What I know is that currently Ronaldo has a hamstring injury and usually injuries like this are not too serious and will recover soon, but I can't confirm whether Ronaldo will be able to compete against Al Hilal because I haven't found out from several media, but that's definitely the hope of Al Hilal fans. Nassr Ronaldo soon recovered and was able to compete against his rival club.
If Ronaldo has not fully recovered, it seems that the Al Nassr coach will not force Ronaldo to appear on the field because it will be very risky in the long term, but if Ronaldo cannot appear in the match it will be a loss for Al Nassr because he is guaranteed to lose again against Al Hilal.

Meanwhile, from the history of meetings between the two clubs, Al Hilal can always get an advantage when competing at home and from the performance of the players, Al Hilal has quite good performance and has a very consistent defense and in the last match, Al Nassr lost while at that time Ronaldo also appeared. compete against Al Hilal.
I can't imagine how Al Nassr would fare competing without Ronaldo and only relying on Talisca and Sadio Mane, which I think is a little difficult.

I will still say that Ronaldo is the best player in the history of football, he doesn't have as many Ballon d'Or titles as Messi but he has much better skills than Messi and Ronaldo also proved that he doesn't need the Ballon d'Or but he just need to provide proof of its greatness.
Several team that Ronaldo played for are proof that he is indeed great player because every team that Ronaldo plays for will be able to win more easily, this is real hill that cannot be denied.
As striker, Ronaldo has also broken the record for headed goals, the last I looked at the figure was 145 goals, this surpassed the record of German legend Gerd Muller with 144 headed goals, who previously held the most headed goals.
From Ronaldo various achievements it is clear that he is the best attacking player in the history of football.

I sure that in the future Ronaldo will always be remembered by Saudi football, when he decides to leave or retire, Ronaldo will make history in Saudi football.
Al Nassr has become part of the life of Saudi football because thanks to Al Nassr bringing in Ronaldo, he has had huge influence on the development of Saudi football.

Now we just need to see Ronaldo bring Al Nassr to win the title either this season or next season.

Of course, Saudi teams have very good financial status. The owners of Saudi teams are the people who have almost unlimited money. That's why they are very easy to spend a lot of money for a superstar player like Ronaldo. Sure, they don't need to sell their stock, what for? The owners have no problem with the financial stability, they are not the owner of Barcelona. 

No doubt that Ronaldo brings a very big impact. Having him on the club is a part of the club's advertisement. Al Nassr also can use his name in any event of Al Nassr team. We know Ronaldo has huge fans around the world, they are quite loyal to follow Ronaldo's journey. When Ronaldo joined Saudi league, they are starting to watch Saudi matches and joined the social media of Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently injured and I'm yet to confirm if he'll be fit enough to feature for his club as they play against their Saudi Pro League rival Al Hilal later this week. Just two days ago, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami played against Al Nassr but were humiliated with an embarrassing result as they were thumped with a 6:0 scoreline and after Lionel Messi was introduced after the 80th minute mark, Inter Miami still failed to find the back of the net.
In the league, Al Nassr and Al Hilal have been the top two sides in
the Saudi Pro League table and that's I'm sure that the two clubs will be putting in their all to win against each if not for anything, for the bragging rights of the club's fans.

Many gamblers worry for the Ronaldo buying sharing in the Saudi Arabia League,because the Saudi Arabia government had their investment in the Saudi Arabia League.So the Saudi Arabia League was the strongest one compared to the German League.The German government never had their share in the League,Saudi Arabia League was financed by the government and had huge root for the future.If you compared the future aspects the Saudi Arabia League was more successful in the future.The Ronaldo is the professional football player,So he know which give him huge profit for the long run in the future game.

In the next four days, we will watch a big match between the two rivals, namely Al Hilal vs Al Nassr. even though it is not in the Saudi Pro League, this match is likely to present a contest of high prestige between the two competing clubs. in the Ryadh Season Cup 2024, I haven't gotten the odds based on the betting exchange. I don't know which team is superior, but this match will be a prestigious match for the two teams that will compete. even though this competition is not actually an important match, it will be very important for the two teams to beat each other. moreover, Al Hilal seems to have a target to appear impressive with their positive trend in every match they play. that's why, I think this match will be a serious fight.

Likewise with Al Nassr, as a rival and has more competitive depth. Luis Castro's team will not allow his team to be overthrown easily. onstead, Ronaldo and his colleagues will do their best to overthrow their rivals. unless the two teams consider this match to be purely a friendly match. then the players being played could be second tier players. Well, to be sure, let's wait for these two teams to meet.

The Saudi Arabia teams are usually in the good financial situation and they have rich owners, in fact, the owners of these teams have enough money to supply everything they need and the owners are the family of the King of Saud Arabia. That's why they don't need to sell any stock to anyone including Ronaldo. But this can be a good advertisement for Al Nassr and Saudi teams to have a person like Ronaldo buying stocks.

Ronaldo, the G.O.A.T and his unwavering display of goal scoring abilities, skillfulness, agility and strength which generally goes contrary to every activity his age can be able to carry out. Age is not a hindrance to him, he works hard to keep himself active and truthfully, there's every possibility that he'd take part in the next world cup cos he's just got all it'd take.

 He'd definitely look far younger than his age by then as well.
So in essence, age won't deprive him as long as he wants it to happen, he can work towards it, it's just for him to keep his body shape, he's just got all it takes so the task won't be so bulky on him. The world cup is just in 3years, that's not so much time to say that he'd loose his shape and form of professional football. He makes football seem like his hobby cos he strives to keep on going with it. Yes a day for his retirement would come but it's very highly possible that 2026 world cup would go on with Ronaldo and his Portuguese internationals with him.

Well, this can be one side of the coin. I can still turn the coin to say that Ronaldo want to secure the future of his son because in Al Nassr, there is little competition compared as compared to the premiers League so it is easier for the son to grow and shine in such kind of a environment than in Premier League or La Liga.

Secondly, they also have more money to spend on his son, Ronaldo Jr. It's like an insurance for his child to grow under a more comfortable environment. He also got some training from his dad and is also going to get the likes of Talisca to do other good stuff for them.

So, yeah, Ronaldo may have the intention to be a coach but that isn't just only his aspirations but because he also wants his child to have a comfortable place to start with as finances are concerned and support of other experienced players including growing tutelage

I am not sure how ownership works there in Saudi Arabia, not saying that people do not own companies, they do, I have worked with at least 2 people from there who had their own companies, so I know even though they are a kingdom (hence a dictatorship) with a king who does what he pleases, he knows world economy doesn't allow that much dictatorship so he has to let free market be.

But is that still true for football? I am not so sure, we all know that clubs are basically ruled by the king himself, hence Ronaldo getting a share from the club may not look all that smart. Imagine him not being in the club, that will not make much for him after he retires. Look at R9 Ronaldo, he owns a club too, does people cheer for that club more because he owns it? Of course not.
