Al Nassr like you rightly said I think knows they've lost the league title this season to league leaders Al Hilal but that will not stop them from making sure they win their remaining games of the season in the league. The club have been very impressive this season but their biggest problem is that they have an Al Hilal side who's been more impressive and have beaten Al Nassr in all their meetings this season. I believe that the technical team of Al Nassr have already observed where they're lacking and will likely solve their issues next season but will still continue to give their best till the end of the current season. The club's most priced asset Cristiano Ronaldo have been out of action in the last two games of the club because of the red card he picked in their game against Al Hilal few weeks ago but will be back to action soon

Al Nassr knows they already lost the Saudi League title and Al Hilal won this title because of the huge gap they have with the other teams like Al Nassr.
Maybe I was not even hoping to see a good performance from Al Nassr in the next games after they lost hope of winning the title because they completely lost motivation, but the game against Al Fayha was not a hard game for Ronaldo and his teammates because Al Fayha is a team in 11th place of the league and they won only one game in the last five matches they had.
 

Sadio Mane was the man of the match in this match, he managed to score 2 goals at the end of the match, his performance in that match was very good, he really could have been a substitute for Cristiano if CR7 didn't play.

In another match, Al Ittihad today managed to win 3-2 over Al Hazm, but Al Ittihad's 2 goals were own goals, if there weren't any then Al Hazm would have won this match. There is a lot of speculation that the 2 own goals were intentional but I don't believe it.

Ronaldo still has an ambition to be the best player in Saudi league. That's why he could keep good performance and even becomes the top scorer in this season. Sure, it won't be easy to challenge the domination of Ronaldo in Saudi league. Although Al Nassr fails to win the trophy of SPL, Ronaldo still showed his quality as he succeeded be the top scorer. Even with the current red card, it won't stop the productivity of Ronaldo.

Sure, Ronaldo is 38 years old, it is a quite old age for a professional player. Most players have retired when he is 35 years old. It is amazing to see Ronaldo playing at 38 years old with good performance. I think it will be difficult to follow by any other players in the future.

 Ronaldo is so desirous to play in the 2026 World Cup as he really wants to be able to help his team achieve victory in the World Cup which is one feat he sincerely wants to avhieve for Portugal. I think this achievement is his driving force and what makes him still play with this much fire he’s playing with. This achievement is one that Ronaldo wants for himself as he knows how much of a legacy that will be for him to be able to achieve that for his Nation. I think this legacy won’t just last for the Nation but also for the world of football generally as a whole.
 
 you can see how much he tries to maintain his body and follow strict guidance as this has helped him still remain active till this stage and able to take on challenges in whatever league or environment he finds himself. Ronaldo compared to his time at Real Madrid is way off it but even at that he still tries to be the most important in the Saudi League despite his age and that has shown how much he keeps up his fitness to still be able to play at this age.

 ⁠I think he’s not prideful as his ego is ok on the field and is one that almost all elite athletes are having. You can also see how meek he is whilst off the field ftom his philanthropic lifestyle amd this shows he’s dedicated to his job and also touching lives off the field. I think this qualites of Ronaldo is a lesson for elites in the society that you can posses range of qualities and above all be humanly in your society.

I don't think about how older Cristiano Ronaldo during he has perform well with Al Nassr and lead top scorer awhile, many youth talent players difficult to pressure Cristiano Ronaldo position as Saudi Pro League top scorer. He was absent last match after red card suspended and I think its the only way stopping his goals contribution in Saudi Pro League.
Many players has the same age with Cristiano Ronaldo retired and most of them playing with not popular teams, I think Cristiano Ronaldo can playing well for several season later and he has ambition for winning domestic league for every club playing.

There is no reason for Al Nassr to lose again in the SPL because their opponent is not strong enough when compared to Al Nassr, Al Nassr's previous defeat was due to facing the strongest club in the SPL currently Al Hilal and Al Nassr has been defeated many times by Al Hilal in every meeting between the two. So when facing other clubs Al Nassr can still appear strong like last night's match where Al Nassr won the match against Al Feiha in a short time even without its star player Ronaldo.

Even though Manè failed to execute the penalty, Manè scored 2 goals in 6 minutes, it was a very good performance and to be honest, I was quite impressed with Manè's performance even though Ronaldo gave the perception that Al Nassr was still good enough to face his opponents in the SPL while waiting for Ronaldo to arrive. is back in the squad and again contributing to Al Nassr, meanwhile Manè will replace Ronaldo as the goal scoring machine for Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo is getting older but if we compare him to other top players that retired at his age or even younger, Ronaldo is definitely fitter and better. I don't think he will continue playing for longer than two - three years, yet he is way useful than local and even many players in major European leagues.
Al-Nassr doesn't lack good forwarders and they have to count on themselves if they want to improve their stats.
Right now it is too late If I could say that about Al-Nassr and the Saudi Pro League title. Maybe next year but currently Al-Hilal are way better.

Yes, in the match against Al Feiha the Al Nasr players really wasted a lot of opportunities. A big example is the penalty given to Al Nasr, but unfortunately Sadio Mane could not execute it well and in the end the opportunity was wasted. Apart from that, what made me a little disappointed with Al Nasr's game in that match was that in the first half Al Nasr was unable to score a single goal against Al Feiha. However, it was Al Nasr who conceded 1 goal in the first half. However, fortunately in the second half, in the 72nd minute to be precise, Al Nasr was able to equalize through a goal scored by Alamri. Then after that Sadio Mane paid for the mistake he made in the first half, when he failed to execute a penalty, by scoring 2 goals as Al Nasr's winning goal.

And in that match Ronaldo was not used, because if I'm not mistaken it was because of the red card he received in the previous match. Well, maybe this is what caused Al Nasr's front line performance to weaken slightly. Apart from that, in this match Al Nasr's back line still did not improve. I don't understand why coach Al Nasr doesn't also correct these shortcomings. Because the Al Nasr coach must be able to learn from the mistakes in the previous match and immediately correct these shortcomings. However, even until the match against Al Feiha, Al Nasr's back line did not perform well. And this was visible because Al Nasr conceded in the 6th minute.

And Al Nasr's attack line also needs to be improved a little. Because what I see is that Al Nasr's front line will only be sharp if Ronaldo and Talisca are there. But when Ronaldo and Talisca didn't play, Al Nasr's attack line became a little less sharp.

Well, the percentage is quite low compared to the number of opportunities they have. But only a few were able to convert it into a goal. But scoring 3 goals is good enough, even though Al-Nassr should have had more goals if they could take advantage of opportunities well. In that match, Mane became a hero by scoring 2 goals. And Al-feiha was actually surprising at the start of the match by scoring early in the 6th minute and the first half was still Al-feiha's possession until finally in the second half Al-Nassr scored 3 goals in fairly close time.

And speaking of the attackers in Al-Nassr I am very curious about the news from Talisca. I think this player is rarely played and rarely seen for quite a while. And I looked for information about Talisca and haven't found anything useful. Maybe some of you know where Talisca actually is so it hasn't been played for quite a while. even though this player is one of the best bombers in Al-Nassr. In fact, I always like the duet from Talisca with C. Ronaldo.

Al Nassr played only relying on Mane, but even though he made mistakes, he proved that he was capable of helping Al Nassr win the match.
Al Nassr is currently experiencing quite difficult conditions due to the temporary loss of two core players, Ronaldo has been banned from playing for 2 matches and Talisca has been injured.
If these two players were not prevented, it is very likely that Al Nassr could have gained a much easier lead from the start and of course they would have won big.
Most important thing is that Al Nassr in the Saudi Arabian King Cup will be able to play Ronaldo in the semifinals against Al Khaleej.
This is an important match because there is an opportunity for Al Nassr to win the title this season considering that the SPL is guaranteed to be owned by Al Hilal.

Ronaldo, Talisca and Mane are 3 goal machines for Al Nassr and the presence of these three players has proven that Al Nassr is capable of having truly deadly attacks.
I want to see the three of them on the same field again for every match in the future, but from the rumors circulating it is shame because it is predicted that Talisca will be absent until the end of the season.

Al-Feiha is just a mediocre team, this team only won once against Al-Nassr in many of their meetings so the victory achieved by Al-Nassr even without Ronaldo was not surprising, in fact this provided an opportunity for Sadio Mane to play as the foundation of the team and he managed to contribute two goals, if there was Ronaldo, of course this Portuguese striker would be the focus.
Talisca was also the player who was the focus when Ronaldo had not yet arrived at this club and he was quite productive, but everything changed because Ronaldo was the goal machine for Al-Nassr.
Indeed, Al-Nassr has had to reduce its dependence on Ronaldo because he may only play for the next two seasons and will retire as a footballer and maximize the existing ones or buy a new striker to strengthen this team so that it can compete with Al-Hilal next season.

Ronaldo seems to be in the recovery stage and it is definitely not easy to continue playing at the age of 39 because he has to keep his body fit and have good stamina. What is clear is that this victory is still important even if he doesn't play and Sadio Mane has indeed proven to be one of the best former strikers ever. The goals he scored past several Al-Feiha players proved his quality and his finishing was also quite sharp even though he was starting to age.

Al-Nassr will not let the remaining matches go without a win and therefore they will not relax at all even though they have lost the opportunity to win the title. Providing consistent performances will certainly add to the same performance next season and that is what they need to maintain rather than feeling frustrated because they cannot win the Saudi league title.

I thought they were going to lose again, but luckily, they managed to win even without their star player Cristiano Ronaldo. Even with their main man missing, Al Nassr couldn't be stopped, showing they're still strong. Al-Nassr scored three goals in just 10 minutes against Al-Fayha, and they could have scored even more. Sadio Mané had a great performance, although he missed a penalty shot that could have given him a hat-trick. Still, Mané did an outstanding job!
Their destination seems pretty clear, but they're pushing themselves as much as possible to get some good results before the season ends. Their results this season haven't been as promising, but that's how it goes sometimes. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes and come back even stronger.

A nervous start for the Al Nassr in this game with Cristiano Ronaldo was not playing as he was suspended, and then they concede early goal which score by Sakala, and we have missed penalty from Sadio Mané as well which create problems for them but in second half we have very good comeback from them with change of strategy works, and they were able to fight back and have three goals which helps them to have all three points from this game and good booster for them as well without Ronaldo playing was also increased their confidence.

Sadio Mané is now also having 12 goals which is clearly showing he is adjusted and now having better use of these playing conditions which are helping him for having better performance and good results for his team which is looking for the stronger comeback in next season as well after having poor run in this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not rested for this game against Al Feiha as he was suspended for the game while having red card in his last game and also having fine as well due to his behaviour now we are in 28th round of this season with just 6 games remaining and mostly players are trying to give their best contribution for his club as things will be good for them during off season and having good practice as well because after the end of this season we will be having Euro 2024 in Germany which also need good performance for having better results.

In Saudi League, now we have Al Hilal as champions and Al Nassr as second spotted team, but they have chance for winning Kings Cup while we have some problems for the Al Hilal due to injuries as they also lost their winning streak while they lost against Al Ain in the UAE.

Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely one of Al Nasser's best stars and when he is with the team, the morale of the team along with the performance of all the players in the team is strong, but if he is absent for any reason, the performance of the team will be much worse. Al Nasser may have relied only on Cristiano Ronaldo in previous seasons but last season they enriched their club so much that even if they don't get the services of Cristiano Ronaldo in any match, they can make up for the lack of Ronaldo. Al Nasser won by a big margin in the last match, a much needed win for them as they are way behind Al Hilal in terms of points. Al Nasser may not be successful in the competition against Al Hilal but they must win the upcoming matches to maintain the second position in the points table. Based on the current situation of the game and the state of the points table, we can say that Cristiano Ronaldo's team Al Nasser will end the season at the second position of the points table and Neymar's team Al-Hilal will win the title of this season from the number one point table.

In my opinion, there is no need to worry about the number of shots that Al Nassr took, in fact many other clubs who did the same thing took a lot of shots and only a few of them were able to be converted into goals. This is not a serious problem because Al Nassr attack line no doubt, maybe if there is Cristiano Ronaldo was there, he would have added to Al Nassr's total goals, even though there were so many attacks, this could have put a lot of pressure on Al Feiha. The most important thing for Al Nassr itself was to be able to win and get the full 3 points and the goals that Al Nassr created were also not complete bad 3 goals is not a small score, it is quite difficult to break into the goal because goalkeeper Al Feiha himself was able to make a lot of very good saves in that match.

Sadio Mane scored 2 goals in that match, he can be relied on by the coach when Ronaldo has to serve his sentence, so for the time being Al Nassr is not worried about the performance of his players even though key players are not in the squad because there is still Sadio Mane who will fill Al's attack line Nassr, maybe if Talischa was there it would help Sadio Mane but unfortunately there is no clarity regarding Talischa who is currently absent and I don't know the cause even though I have read the Saudi League news.

Al Nassr won big and it shown that they don't only have Cristiano Ronaldo. Without Cristiano Ronaldo, other players can score goals and help them to win matches. Talisca and Mane are very good attacking players for Al Nassr. This season is a failure for Al Nassr in competition with Al Hilal in Saudi Professional League but they need to analyze matches in this season without Cristiano Ronaldo, and build up their strategies for a next season.

They must reduce dependence on Cristiano Ronaldo to become a more unpredictable and dangerous team in a next season. They will be only competitive enough against Al Hilal if they can complete this task.

Another EZ game happened last days. Al nassr has been successfully beating al feiha with decent scores but im concerning about al nassr's attacking lines. It's caused by these statistics.

28 shoots
12 shoots on target
60 percents ball possessions

That's amazing statistics but al nassr was only scoring three goals which is very very far from what has already recorded by the club in the last game. I think that they can do better in the upcoming game. There have been many opportunities wasted for nothing.
Im concerning about how al nassr was performing so badly and this keeps continue. I consider won the game against feiha is good but the goals is very far compared to the total shots on target.
