Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.
~

I doubt that team results (by the way, the number of goals scored also largely depends on the team) can be transferred to a discussion about individual qualities. This is the first thing. Secondly, no matter how Ronaldo performs in the Saudi League, fans will argue about who is the GOAT based clearly not on his achievements here. All the most important things are already in the past - the Champions League. Of course, there are still games of national teams where Ronaldo is going to continue, but this will be, so to speak, “additional material” for discussion.

Anyway, if we consider the Saudi Pro League seems to have become a different level from the tough competition in the big leagues in Europe. So yes, if for example Ronaldo is still very productive in making goals in the Saudi Pro League, then I think it is still natural to happen because ya, at least the competition in the Saudi Pro League is not as difficult as the big league competition in Europe. Although indeed, currently in the Saudi Pro League also has many star players in certain teams but yes, it still does not have the high intensity of the big European leagues.

Therefore, I don't care whether Ronaldo a goat or not because anyway, the assumption still passes for fans and does not apply to those who are not fans and also have a neutral attitude. So yes, let or no problem if fans still consider Ronaldo as a goat because after all, Ronaldo basically also has extraordinary achievements and also has a big influence in the world of soccer.

We can not ask too much from Cristiano Ronaldo. Seeing he is still able to play already a magic. Witnessing he scored more than 50 goals and became a best scorer in 2023 globally is another magic. Many players at his age can not play and have to announce their retirement even at younger ages than 38 years old.
Agree. He is already 38 years old, it is no longer an ideal age for a footballer. Yes, in this age, many footballers already retire from their career. Meanwhile Ronaldo still has a good ambition to be the best player in SPL and he still contributed well for Al Nassr. Scoring above 50 goals is something extraordinary for a 38 years old player. So, he actually already did good work for Al Nassr.

To win Saudi Professional League, Al Nassr must be a best team with most total points through a long season. They must beat some competitors especially a most successful club in Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal. To do this, Al Nassr needs more than only Cristiano Ronaldo and they can have it with many star players in their squad. Mane, Brozovic, Otavio, Talisca and some domestic players, they have enough strong and competitive squad for the race.
It is not easy to win SPL title because there are some strong teams now. AL Nassr may have some top players, but they won't win the title if they can't play as a solid team. Ronaldo also can't make Al Nassr to win the title if he works alone. Al Hilal showed that they are a solid team, that's why they are difficult to be defeated. Al Nassr must follow what Al Nassr applied in their game if Al Nassr wants to win the title.

Al Nassr won't win the trophy and I think hardly anyone would bet against that. They are 7 points behind Al-Hilal, but the bigger problem is that Al-Hilal is in excellent shape and they are leaving no doubt that they will most likely continue with their performances until the end of the season. There are no good reasons to believe that this would soon drastically change. Al-Nassr will have one last chance and this is if they win 90% of their games from now on and then win the game against Al-Hilal during the second half of the season. Maybe then they have a chance.
Al Nassr started the season a little unluckily so wasting too many points has become a big problem for Al Nassr now which makes them 7 points behind Al Hilal, and I think this is normal because they have to adapt to a new coach at the start of the season. this season. season. Now Al Nassr's game is consistent and even Al Nassr's front line already has chemistry with each other which makes them very productive in scoring goals.

It's just that Al Hilal is also in good condition, they find it very difficult to make so many mistakes that they lose points. I predict that this season the SPL league title will be won by Al Hilal. It's true that the SPL still has a long way to go, but looking at Al Hilal's performance this season, I think it will be difficult to stop them. Al Hilal are unbeaten so far and their defense is also very strong so they have conceded minimal goals so far.

I guess it doesn't need a lot of wisdom to predict that Al Hilal is going to the win the Saudi Pro League title. The good condition they are in, the 7 points advantage and the fact that sometimes Al-Nassr can't bring home a lead successfully will ultimately make them the title winner this season. But Al-Nassr knows that if they want to win the title, no excuses are allowed and no minor mistakes as losing one or two games early in the season. I think even if they win every game now it would be hard to become the champion.

That's possible to happen once the al nassr will able to cut the gap to the al hilal. The only important question is whether al hilal will be missing some points. This is still remain unanswered question right now. I meant that if al hilal has been trying so hard to get the perfect result and this will be also impacting the mentality owned by al nassr. Mitrovic has become the only strongest player who can compete with ronaldo.

These guys were consistently competing each other in leading the top scorer this season. It's likely that if al hilal is targeting to get perfect result till the end of season. Im concerning about the performance of al hilal which is very stable.
The only main requirement for al hilal to miss some points when the players will miss some names like mitrovic and savic. Al nassr can try to put all of its focus to win AFC this season.

It's still a good trophy to win. I was just aware how strong al hilal is right now. It's not a lot of club can get draw or even beat it. The chance owned by al nassr to get the SPL trophy becomes even less than before.
As long the match schedule is still very long, it looks like Al Nassr still has the opportunity to try to continue to catch up with the points that Al Hilal has because we never know whether Al hilal will be able to be consistent without being defeated until the end of the season, but in my opinion, Al Hilal could lose points, but not too much and on one hand, it is impossible for a club to perform consistently without being defeated until the end the season, there will definitely be at least several defeats because it is impossible for player to continue to have the physical strength to continue competing throughout the season and this causes decline in the club performance which results in defeat.
From the data I saw several seasons ago, Al Hilal lost at least twice and it could happen again this season.

The main problem Cristiano is having is the problem of not becoming champion in the arab league, so he need to win the trophy to become more important in that land.

And this year dont seem to be the one in wich he can be champion, at least until now with this Al hilal team in such good shape.
Last season we saw Cristiano Ronaldo's side win the Arab Cup and this season their performances have been consistent enough to win the Saudi League title this season. There are some clubs in the Saudi League including Al Hilal who are currently performing well and due to the good performance of those clubs, it seems that Al-Nassr may have some trouble to win the Saudi League title this season as well. We can see some effect of age taking its toll on Cristiano Ronaldo due to which we are not seeing the same performances from him that he could have before. But if the team does not rely only on Cristiano Ronaldo and if all the other players take responsibility then it will not be impossible for Al-Nassr to make the Saudi League.
I think it's too much when something that should be earned as a team becomes a burden for a player. After all Ronaldo is in a club and to become a champion it is determined by the team not individuals. I disagree if you say this is a problem faced by Ronaldo because he cannot become a champion in the SPL. Al Nassr as a team must bear that burden, because even if a player plays well but as a team still has shortcomings, then until whenever they will not become champions.
There is one player who feels this, Kane for example, he plays well, but his club still has many shortcomings so he cannot get a title in the Premier League.

Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.

However, this hope has the potential to be dashed for Ronaldo fans all over the world, if in the end Ronaldo is unable to bring Al Nassr to present the Saudi Pro League trophy plus the top scorer belongs to his rival Mitrovic. in this thread, it is very likely that almost most of them are Ronaldo fans, because Ronaldo is always the best-selling theme in every discussion in the Saudi Professional League thread. to be honest, I am a neutral supporter for this competition. the point is, I only enjoy matches that are interesting and crucial for me. the rest, I don't really follow the development of the lower middle teams. currently, the Saudi Pro League has presented 19 matches and Al Hilal is perched at the top of the standings.
meanwhile, Al Nassr is in the runner up position with a difference of seven points from Al Hilal. 7 points adrift of the top of the standings, this must be a strong motivation for Ronald and his colleagues to keep Al Nassr on the right track. apart from that, if Ronaldo cares about the competition for top scorers, Ronaldo automatically has to prove his capacity as a sharp player even though he is no longer young. after all, Ronaldo has a lot of support from his teammates. there are Sadio Mane, Talisca, Brozovic, and several other players. in terms of quality, Ronaldo gets special support from his teammates who have the ability to help him break into the opposing team's goal.

Apart from that, being 7 points behind doesn't have to discourage Ronaldo fans. after all, this competition still had a lot of matches left. and what is certain, overall Al Nassr will play on the right track. however, the rivals will not let their rivals get close to their points. which means, Jorge Jesus will try to ensure his squad stays on the winning track until they get closer to winning the trophy this season. likewise with Mitrovic, the Al Hilal center forward would be honored to compete with a star of Ronaldo's caliber. whether in terms of scoring goals, or bringing his team to win the League trophy. well, let's see how far these two teams compete and play their matches until the end of the season.
Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.

 The competition is still far way to its end and Al-Hilal must be able to maintain their form till the very end because any slip in 2 matches would make Al-Nassr overtake them and that’s pretty possible because football is a game and has 90 minutes to play. I think the competition between both teams is really fierce and interesting and the fans loves this healthy competition, Al-Hilal shouldn't be too comfortable with their spot on the table cause they're just 2 loses away from losing their position. And any mistake could see that become a reality which is something the CR7 fans are really hoping for.

It is very difficult when other strong teams have experienced coaches while Al-Ettifaq only has Steven Gerrard who has a big name as a former football player to boost their popularity. The results are as we can see now and Al-Ettifaq is sitting in 8th position in the standings and is still likely to drop again if they continue to suffer bad results in the next few matches. Al-Ettifaq also has not won again in the last 8 matches and all of them only ended in draws and defeats.

Obviously it is a bad result and I am not sure even if this January they bring in more players but as long as the coach is Steven Gerrard the results will remain the same and nothing will change. So the solution for Al-Ettifaq is to find a trainer who is competent in his field and of course quite experienced.

I agree that Steven Gerrard is not worthy of handling this team and competes with other teams he has a great squad but has not been able to give Al-Ettifaq a good performance for the team, luckily Al-Ettifaq is not alone there are also other teams like Al-Ittihad who experienced the same thing which is in position 7 so Steven Gerrard has a reason why he hasn't been able to bring Al-Ettifaq to the best position. In my opinion Al-Ettifaq will do something next season not for the transfer window this month, the owner will not let Al-Ettifaq fall down.
That's why I criticize him so much and this will continue to happen if the club management doesn't act immediately. Al-Ettifaq has invested a lot of money to bring in star players and I think even though they are not satisfied enough, if they immediately fire Steven Gerrard and look for a new coach then it is very likely that their goal will also be realized.

The competition in the Saudi League is quite difficult to predict this season because strong teams like Al-Ittihad have also fallen quite far from the top flight. Even though Al-Ittihad is the defending champion of the Saudi league and with the existing internal problems they are also unable to overcome problems related to their coach. So before it is too late and there is no solution, Al-Ettifaq must immediately take a stand and at the same time invest more funds to bring in European players.

It seems that the title of Saudi Pro League champion is no longer possible this season, but there are two tournaments that they are also competing in, namely the Asian Champions League where Al Nassr is still competing in the round of 16 and also the King's Cup where Al Nassr managed to advance to the semifinals but in the final round if If they manage to qualify, they will probably face Al Hilal, who are the strongest team at the moment, so their chances in the King's Cup will also be quite difficult. And the championship title is the only one that Ronaldo has not given to his club and it would be quite a shame if until he finishes his contract there there is no championship title that he can present because that would certainly not be a good record for his career.

When Ronaldo arrived to Al Nassr this team was compete for race title since last season and at that time Al Nassr have to finish at runner up place under Al Ittihad with 5 difference points at the end of season and now the situation is not so different that because Al Nassr has poor start at the beginning of league then they unable to keep up Al Hilal on league standings and indeed Al Nassr in the good shape because they gets the winning results for almost each matches but to compete with Al Hilal i think it's very hard now because Al Hilal was too consistent and until week 19 only Al Hilal who still unbeatable on Saudi Pro League

About the trophy Ronaldo has just gets his first trophy with Al Nassr several months ago through Arab club champions cup tournament at that time they beat Al Hilal at the final match and this season too Al Nassr still playing at several different competitions just like Asian Champion league or King Cup so they have good possibility to gets the trophy from those competitions but for Saudi Pro League i think it's hard for them to being an the champion considering Al Hilal is too consistent and it's really hard to beat them

The truth is signed, gerrard was the biggest mistake being made by ettifaq. There have been many people disagreed with such decision but ettifaq was still trying to sign him. It shall become the consequence of getting the worst coach.
Ettifaq needs to fine someone who can replace him. this will be hlping the club so much. In my opinion that if this club needs to be very careful when signing the new player. It's caused by ettifaq shall not repeat the same mistake again.

This team is still playing very bad till this time and gerrard has no impact to the club. The fans shall be urged the club to sack him as soon as possible before ettifaq will be going to the bottom.
The chance for ettifaq to go back at the top 4 was almost zero. This club is still performing so badly and i hope that everything will be fully recovered once gerrad will be officially sacked by the club.
Ettifaq wasted a lot of money to recruit the garbage players. It's surprised me to see that gerrard recruited by ettifaq coz he had been sacked by his old club.

at the moment, it seems like Al Hilal has been guaranteed to win the SPL title, but we can't know whether there will be any surprises because sometimes injuries come at the wrong time and injuries are also a nightmare for a player that can affect a team's performance.
currently, it will be very impossible for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hilal points, but it looks like there will still be changes because the match schedule is still a bit long and there are still many obstacles that must be faced.
With their form and big gap against Al Nassr, if they continue this form, they will be a new champion of Saudi Professional League. However, the league is so long and there is a second half of season with many matches. Many time left for Al Nassr to try and catch Al Hilal in this competition.

It's clearly that if Al Hilal won't suddenly lose their excellent performances, it will be hopeless for Al Nassr to catch the blue team.

you said the right thing regarding Ronaldo performance, it is indeed very good, contributing a large number of scores but there is no solid cooperation and in my opinion Al Nassr only needs to strengthen its defense line which is currently still conceding often and in this transfer season there is an opportunity for Al Nassr to get new, more qualified players and I hope Al Nassr management understands this weakness and immediately fixes it.
Previously, perhaps Al Nssr was too focused on strengthening the attack line so that it did not focus on the defense line, which in the end the line up was unbalanced because only the attack line was strong but the defense line was weak.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues his good performances and has yet stopped making us surprised. At this age, he has yet given up his ambition and he still has a lot of energy for matches he particpates in. I ask myself that will Cristiano ends his career with 1000+ goals or more. If he can play like 3 or 4 more seasons and maintain his scoring intensity, he will hit that goal scoring milestone that is absolutely amazing and unbelievable in modern football.

It is impossible if we expect Ronaldo alone to win the trophy.

Steven Gerrard the coach of Al Ettifaq got a warning from the team.
In Al Ettifaq they spent lots of money for players and coaches to have better results and they Al Ettifaq was hoping to see many better results after investing too much money for this team.
But even after all the money they spent, there is a huge gap between Al Ettifaq and the top of the table and that's why they said Gerrard wants them to improve the team during winter and buy more players but we also asked Gerrard to get them together and to improve the team faster.


It is very difficult when other strong teams have experienced coaches while Al-Ettifaq only has Steven Gerrard who has a big name as a former football player to boost their popularity.

We can not ask too much from Cristiano Ronaldo. Seeing he is still able to play already a magic. Witnessing he scored more than 50 goals and became a best scorer in 2023 globally is another magic. Many players at his age can not play and have to announce their retirement even at younger ages than 38 years old.

To win Saudi Professional League, Al Nassr must be a best team with most total points through a long season. They must beat some competitors especially a most successful club in Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal. To do this, Al Nassr needs more than only Cristiano Ronaldo and they can have it with many star players in their squad. Mane, Brozovic, Otavio, Talisca and some domestic players, they have enough strong and competitive squad for the race.

The main problem Cristiano is having is the problem of not becoming champion in the arab league, so he need to win the trophy to become more important in that land.
And this year dont seem to be the one in wich he can be champion, at least until now with this Al hilal team in such good shape.
It it true that Ronaldo still can't win SPL trophy but he already contributed much for Al Nassr. Being the current top scorer is just a proof that Ronaldo has done good job. But he can't win the trophy alone, he needs other players to play as a solid team. So, to get the dream winning the trophy, it needs good teamwork among Al Nassr players. It is impossible if we expect Ronaldo alone to win the trophy.

For this season, it is still possible to win the SPL trophy. However, the chance seems not really high after they got defeated by Al Hilal. Al Nassr and Ronaldo needs a miracle to win SPL trophy this season.

In my opinion, I will not judge for now that Al Nassr will fail to become champions this season because the Saudi Arabian league still has 11 more matches left. which is very likely if Al Hilal loses its best form then there is an opportunity for Al Nassr to seize the main position from Al Hilal. However, it is true that so far Al Hilal are still able to be in their best form because they are unbeaten until their 19th match this season. Yes, the point gap between the two is 7 points, where Al Nassr still has the opportunity to reduce the gap if they are able to perform consistently until the end of the season, but with one condition, Al Hilal must suffer 3 defeats so that Al Nassr can become the leader of the standings.

Ronaldo has indeed performed well this season and he is even the top scorer in 2023. I think he just failed to bring Al Nassr to the lead in the standings because until week 19 Al Nassr was still stuck in second place in the standings. It seems like Al Hilal hasn't been careless in the slightest this season because they have been really consistent this season. Ronaldo is still under contract until the summer of 2025, so if he fails this season, Ronaldo still has one more chance in the next season.

11 more matches? The Saudi Professional League has 18 teams and if everyone plays against everyone as it usually should be, they would still have to go for another 15 games in most cases. Some teams have only played 18 games so far, which means it would still be 16 games for them.

Anyway, the advantage is quite significant and Al-Nassr most likely lost this title early in the season when they had a couple of games in which they acted quite sloppy. The expectations were high because of their offensive duo consisting of Mane and Ronaldo and while they have been delivering goals in the beginning and Ronaldo is still doing so, it is not enough to compete with Al-Hilal.
