This condition will be the same as last season, Al Nassr had the opportunity to become champions but it happened when Al Hilal made mistakes and suffered consecutive defeats but in the end all that did not happen and Al Hilal continued to perform well until the competition ended and they came out as champions which made Al Nassr have to accept being runners-up.
Maybe this season something similar will happen, but if Al Hilal also performs well again and Al Ittihad continues to survive more consistently and stably then it is likely that Al Nassr will only get top 3 ranking, which is certain for this season many Al Nassr fans have doubts, the next opportunity may be in some other competitions that Al Nassr can win.

Pioli seems to still have a lot of work that needs to be done, namely improving Al-Nassr's back line which still doesn't look solid. And actually this team experienced improvements in terms of defense at the beginning of Pioli's arrival. But for some reason Al-Nassr's defense got worse again and made this team not have good balance. The difference in points with the top teams is also getting wider and yes, this will really make it more difficult for this team to compete for the title. Because the teams above look more consistent and solid this season. especially Al-hilal and Al-ittihad. Meanwhile, I think Al-Qodisiyah is almost the same quality as Al-Nassr this season.

Al Nassr are currently in 4th place and 11 points behind the top team, they look like they are going to struggle a lot and although it is still early I think they will fail to win the title again with what they are showing. I am not saying their chances are closed, but it is certainly a very difficult thing to do considering their competitors can also show something very good and I can even say they are not better than the teams above them at the moment in the standings. Their teamwork still has a lot to improve, they must first fix that if they want to catch up with their competitors.

I don't have high expectations for Al Nassr this season, even though this club is an elite club and is believed to always provide fierce competition in the hunt for the title but I'm not sure Al Nassr can compete with Al Ittihad or Al Hilal because Al Nassr's consistency needs to be questioned, they are currently not so good. Even Al Nassr can be defeated by Al Qadsyah which is a promoted club this season, isn't this embarrassing for a class like Al Nassr? but indeed Al Qadsyah's performance this season is very impressive and has collected more points compared to Al Nassr and Al Ahli.

Neymar and Ronaldo indeed have very expensive salaries, so it is not surprising that because of this factor, Al Nasr and Al Hilal have not been able to bring in new players. However, if you look at the situation, Al Hilal might be able to bring in new players after releasing Neymar. However, Al Nasr's situation does look more complicated, because as you said, if Al Nasr kicks out Ronaldo, it is certain that Al Nasr's popularity will decline drastically. In fact, not only that, I think if Ronaldo is sold or expelled from Al Nasr and Ronaldo no longer plays in the Saudi Arabian League, you can be sure that the Saudi Arabian League will once again lack interest/fans. because it cannot be denied that Ronaldo's great popularity is able to boost or bring significant development to the Saudi Arabian league in terms of popularity.

So with this, Al Nasr will most likely continue to have difficulty bringing in new players. Because maybe Al Nasr won't be able to do it financially. Maybe the solution that Al Nasr can take is to bring in young players who have good potential but who have a cheap market price. Apart from that, the second way for Al Nasr is to bring in more investors or sponsors. So that way Al Nasr can have even greater finances. Maybe these two methods are the solutions that I can think of for Al Nasr.

Of course, there is still a chance for Al Nassr to improve its team and it is not impossible that Al Nassr will succeed in becoming champions this season. Of course, even though there are still a lot of matches scheduled, of course if you look at Al-Nassr's position, which is now in 4th position, it's certainly not an easy thing for Al-Nassr to be able to shift Ittihad's position, which of course now has a large point difference with Al-Nassr. especially if you look at Al-nassr's last match against Ittihad. Al-nassr had to swallow the bitter pill because they lost to Ittihad with a score of 2-1.

Yes, it is true that what you say is one of the things that if Al-Nassr wants to shift Ittihad's position, of course Al-Nassr has to see Ittihad lose when competing, but yes, it is true that it is very difficult to see Ittihad's performance going down because their current strength cannot be underestimated. but honestly, I personally hope that Al-nassr can get a trophy this season because I want to see Cristiano Ronaldo lift the trophy.

Of course, now Pioli has to really build Al-Nassr well because of course Al-Nassr fans now expect Pioli to be able to bring Al-Nassr's performance to increase.

I one of Al Nassr fans and indeed Al Nassr performance is often beyond expectations by performing quite badly even though they are strong team and still have more wins here, I believe Al Nassr will be able to rise again and start fixing everything in order to get stable performance for the completion of this season but I no longer expect Al Nassr to win the SPL title considering their difference from Al Ittihad who are at the top of the standings to be 11 points.
Obviously this gap is quite large and the only thing that can make it even thinner is the decline and poor performance of Al Ittihad in the future, but that is impossible because Al Ittihad is really very impressive for now, finishing in the top 3 I think can still be Al Nassr achievement for this season even though the journey is still quite long.

Consistency isn't that easy to have specially the opponent is preparing well for the match, and indeed only luck will prevail on how this team could take over their opponent team. They really need a strong and dedicated player to become a team captain to prevent being defeated all over again. That's not a good sign for the team to loss recurringly in a game, because each of them has the sponsorship promotion which also requires excellence performance.

Ronaldo's lifestyle is much better than other players and he is a fresh young player even after we know about his age. Even younger players than Ronaldo cannot run like this player in the field and they won't have the same good stamina as you already said. That's why Ronaldo is still playing in Al Nassr and regardless of his age, they don't want to lose this player at all. Even Portugal prefers to keep Ronaldo.
Even this Ronaldo we see can play for more years if he continues his good performance and stays in good form as we see from him in Al Nassr.

In my opinion, these two teams did not make any major signings in the last transfer window because they have spent a lot of money on Neymar's salaries at Al Hilal and Ronaldo's at Al Nassr. I doubt very much that the Arabs have infinite money and do not want to at least recover part of the money invested. As long as both teams are spending a lot of money on Neymar and Ronaldo's salaries, these two teams will not make any major new signings. At least Al Hilal will release Neymar in June, and that is what everything indicates. Then they will be able to sign many good players without spending a lot of money and the team will remain strong. While in the case of Al Nassr, if they remove Ronaldo, no one will be interested in the Saudi league anymore and they will forget about Al Nassr.

Yes, this season, Al Hilal and Al Nasr are experiencing bad performance. I also don't know for sure what is the exact cause of the decline in the performance of these two teams. But I personally have the assumption that Al Nasr and Al Hilal are too satisfied with the squad they currently have. Because in the past summer transfer market, Al Nasr or Al Hilal did not bring in many new players of good quality. I think it is because of this that the performance of Al Nasr and Al Hila has decreased this season. In contrast to Al Ittihad, this season Al Ittihad brought in many great players from big European teams, such as Mousa Diaby and Steven Bergwijn. For this reason, this season Al Ittihad has a very mature squad balance and therefore it is not surprising if, for example, its performance has improved drastically this season. Likewise with Al Qadisiyah, even though this team has just been promoted to the Saudi Arabian league, this team is already able to compete with big teams like Al Nasr. This also cannot be separated from the players that Al Qadisiyah brought in in the transfer market.

Therefore, if for example Al Hilal or Al Nasr want to be able to compete again for the top of the standings, it is clear that these two teams must make their squads balanced in every line. Especially for Al Nasr, this season its performance can really be said to be much worse than last season. Because this season Al Nasr is really having difficulty catching up on points from Al Hilal or Al Ittihad. So if you look at this, I personally really doubt that Al Nasr can finish in 3rd or 2nd place in the Saudi Arabian league.

While I agree that Ronaldo is still playing like a young kid, he is not really creating chances like he used to. He is great at finishing, probably the best ever at one touch scoring in all of football, that dude knows where to send the ball so easily, it's insane, and even at forty years old, he is better than anyone I have seen. But, I remember years where Ronaldo would take the ball, either from the wing, or from the midfield and still find and create chances, now he is too much relying on finding good passes come to him, and relies too heavily on good assists.

In any case, I believe the team just not good enough for them to win, they didn't make good transfers like other teams and that's the issue and that's why I believe they are not going to win anything. If you do not build a good team around Ronaldo, he himself can't win anything all by himself, no player in the world does. Look at all the championship teams all around the world, they always have a good team, and never win because of one player.

In essence, Ronaldo will still be fine to continue playing at such an old age but, the problem is because Ronaldo is still very ambitious to get more titles and or trophies. That ambition I believe puts a burden and pressure on himself, so that even though Ronaldo still looks strong and fit but in reality Ronaldo is not as good as when he was young. Thus, I think it would be better for Ronaldo to retire because pursuing a career with the wrong team, it could also be a failure that will continue and will only waste the chance he has at the rest of his age to be able to continue playing and to get trophies.

He has given up a lot and become very health conscious to maintain his fitness which other players could not do. Still, with the pace of Cristiano Ronaldo, we can compare him to a 24-year-old player. Ronaldo is a big name in football and the fact that he is playing football till now just for the name but not like that but he is playing high salary in Saudi league till now due to his qualifications. Personal Achievements Cristiano Ronaldo has all kinds of achievements when it comes to club achievements, but his only achievement is the World Cup. He has tried but has not been successful so far so he wants to take another chance if the team wants him. 

Maybe even after playing 26 World Cups, he will have to finish the World Cup tournament without a Toffee because there are teams that can compete hard with the Latin American teams as well as the big European teams, but not Portugal.

I don't think Portugal struggle without Ronaldo. In fact, Portugal plays better without Ronaldo recently. He is a good player but he's not what he used to and he needs to understand that. Ronaldo needs a team where they play for him. A team that creates chances for him. He is not the kind of player that takes the ball and creates chances anymore.
At this level, he needs to understand that and stop trying to be the elephant in the room all the time. He may be scoring goals, but his goals might not lead the team to any silverware because when it really matters, his team is outplayed and he can't step up to do something about it because he doesn't have it in him anymore and that's normal.

Al Nassr may get bad results without Ronaldo because they don't have another prolific goal scorer like him but Portugal has all the talent to be fine without Ronaldo currently and that's why they don't struggle without him. In my opinion, I think Ronaldo should quit playing before he becomes worse than he already is and young fans only remember him for his twilight years.

I feel like Al Hilal is doing fine, just because Al Ittihad is doing great, doesn't mean that we are dealing with anything further, it's just as simple as that, we need to remember that we are going to have some difference there, and shouldn't be worried about it at all. Al Hilal still goes unbeaten aside from one game, which means that Ittihad will eventually lose out a game, and when that happens, we are going to see Al Hilal end up making a comeback.

Al Nassr is totally different in that case, they are really  bad, and Ronaldo is trying his best, but it is not enough and the team is just not good enough, I do not know what's the main reason but they end up losing points at games they should be easily winning. So they are pretty screwed in that sense.

Al Qadsiah, a promoted team that was able to skyrocket in its first season in the Saudi Pro League. The team filled with Aubameyang as its star, and Nacho Fernandez, a former Real Madrid defender and also several other foreign players. The team designed by Michel was quite impressive in its first season in the Saudi Pro League, they are currently able to compete with other elite teams and overtake them such as Al-Ahli, Al Taawoun and even Al Nassr who are 3 points behind. Al Qadsiah could remain in its position until the end of this season if there is no improvement from its rival teams, especially those below their ranking in the standings. Al Qadsiah can also be a threat to the teams above it, namely Al Hilal who are 6 points ahead, Al Ittihad 8 points. If these two teams slip, then Al Qadsiah has the opportunity to reduce the points gap from them. Unfortunately, Al Qadsiah is not so exposed because it is less popular than teams filled with big stars. In fact, this team can develop and become stronger in the next season or two.

This season is still very long and we are currently in week 13 and heading into week 14. Meanwhile, the total number of matches in the SPL is 34 matches. So it can be said that Al-Nassr's opportunity to change the situation in the standings is still quite wide open. It's just that this can happen if AL-Nassr can get continuous wins from now on and hope that Al-hilal, Al-ittihad and Al-qodisiyah lose several points in the next few matches. because it would be useless even if Al-nassr continued to win the match but the three teams at the same time also continued to win. Because the ranking and points obtained will remain the same and will keep Al-nassr in 4th place.

We are currently well on our way to mid-season. And I am sure that Al-ittihad and Al-hilal will not always be at their best. But Al-Nassr is required not to experience defeat again if they want to continue chasing the title this season. The difference in points between Al-Nassr and Al-ittihad is currently quite large. And it takes luck and stable consistency to be able to catch up again.

That's impossible to change that result of the match since these leading team performed amazingly and I believed Al-Nassr is now coping up to recover their losses from previous match.
The players did well despite of hardships they've done in the midst of the game, well that's part of the game there's always wins and losses. To all the fans of Al Nassr, it's not the end yet and soon I believed their team will again be risen for their performances and will thrive.

Al-Ittihad Club played excellent against Al-Nassr football team. I am taking about match of Saudi Pro League. Benzema gave good effort in this match and everyone saw the performance of the players of both teams. Benzema gave good start before his goal no one could goal in this match and after Ronaldo did goal and tried to played critical role in this match and he did goal at 57 minutes. Last goal did by Bergwijn and he did winner goal of match . Al-Ittihad Club has good position on the table because that team won many matches in this tournament and has 36 points and have top position on the table.Al-Nassr  football team tried to resist in this match but they could not change the result of match
