Our predictions turned out to be wrong, friends. Because it turned out that Al Nasr lost badly to Al Raed with a score of 3-1. I personally don't understand why in recent weeks Al Nasr has always experienced unsatisfactory results in every match. In fact, if you look at ball control and the opportunities created, Al Nasr is far superior to the clubs they are opposing. For example, last night's match between Al Nasr and Al Raed. From the first minute to the final minute of the second half, Al Nasr continued to dominate the game. But unfortunately, even though Al Nasr dominated the game, unfortunately Ronaldo and his friends couldn't score any additional goals, apart from the goal scored by Yahya in the 24th minute.
This was a result that was very unexpected and certainly caused disappointment for their fans who hoped that this team would be able to perform well to get three points, but what happened was the opposite.
The away team, which only had around 28% possession of the ball, was actually more effective in maximizing every opportunity that existed, because of the 7 attempts, 5 managed to threaten Al-Nassr's goal with 3 succeeding in scoring goals, while Al-Nassr, which had 16 attempts, only 3 succeeded in threatening. Al-Raed's goal and what's worse is that only 1 can be a goal.
This time, Al-Nassr's defense, which was easily penetrated by the away team, was the cause of defeat, plus their midfielders were unable to make the perfect assist for Al-Nassr's striker to take advantage of.
Honestly, right now I'm a little disappointed with Al Nasr's performance. Because even against lower level clubs, Al Nasr suffered defeat. So how do you want to compete with big clubs like Al Hilal or with clubs that have entered the Asian Champions League? Maybe with the poor performance shown recently, this season it is unlikely that Al Nasr will win any trophies. Because what I see is that the performance of the Al Nasr players currently tends towards less solidity among the players. Ronaldo also couldn't do much in last night's match, so the point is that Al Nasr must be able to learn from his current mistakes. In order to improve performance in the future. Because I feel it's a shame, because Al Nasr has bought a lot of expensive players this season, but the results obtained are less than optimal.
This was indeed a bad performance, especially when they faced a relatively weak team, so in two matches losing five points was enough to make their chances of continuing to stick to Al-Hilal closed because it was quite impossible to see Al-Nassr move at the top of the standings. .
Meanwhile, in my opinion, their opportunities in other competitions are still quite open because usually there will be different performances in different competitions, and the Asian Champions League has the opportunity to reach the semifinals because it only requires a win with a two goal margin and in my opinion Al-Nassr can still catch it, but we can't judge about the semifinals yet because it could be that they will be more alert to perform well in the Asian Champions League to be able to win the title this season, because this is their only chance.
