I actually agree with you, winning a title or not, it's not really something that Ronaldo has to get. He doesn't work alone and at his age, when he makes a big contribution to the team's game, it's a very extraordinary thing. However, I also understand, because there are so many expectations on him considering he is one of the best players in the world, so things like this are normal. For the fans, they will want their idol to win the Saudi Pro League title and for the haters, they will use this to attack Ronaldo personally. This is something we always see coming from big players like him.

Al Ittihad has really performed much better since they were handled by Laurent Blanc, their performance has improved a lot. In the last 5 matches in this competition, Al Ittihad was able to win with a clean sheet. What an extraordinary achievement, even though this season is not over yet. At least, Laurent Blanc was able to bring Al Ittihad back to being a dangerous team. They were able to compete tightly, even though they were defeated by Al Hilal. Oh yes, Al Ittihad's only major defeat was when they visited Al Hilal's headquarters, they lost with a score of 3-1. The rest, Al Ittihad only conceded 5 goals in their 11 matches in the Saudi Pro League. Initially I thought it would be difficult for any team to shift Al Hilal who were on fire, but it seems that Al Ittihad is currently worthy of consideration and perhaps they are able to maintain their ranking at the top of the standings in this competition. Based on statistics, Al Ittihad is slightly better than Al Hilal so far, maybe because Al Itiihad does not have a schedule like Al Hilal and Al Nassr who are competing in the Asian Champions League. but anyway, Al Ittihad is now at the top of the standings and they have a great chance to maintain it as far as possible. in fact, it is not impossible for Al Itihad to snatch the League title from Al Hilal this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo has enough titles and adding another one in Saudi Pro League will be optional. At his age, playing football and scoring goals is a big achievement for him. He is the best one in the team so far and unfortunately he isn't that lucky since Al-Hilal dominated the league and now, they have another problem called Al-Ittihad, which is leading the ranking with 8 points difference comparing to Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo definitely providing haters with good results and making sure that he shuts them up. Although, his team isn't really doing anything extra, he scores and he wins games but then you look at the standings and you see that they are just third and do not look like they are going to win the league.

It must feel terrible for Ronaldo to be nearly 40 years old, still playing amazing but not winning the title, he must be wanting that title even more now because that would be probably his last, and without that title, he will end with just individual achievements. He will most probably not even be the top scorer this season neither, so he will not have a good season, his team won't win anything and he won't win anything personally neither, which will make it very hard for him to go on. I am sure if he decides to leave, that wouldn't be really a bad thing because he has that right, the team didn't build a great roster around him to win the league.

For a player that's currently the wealthiest footballer in the world, I don't think Cristiano Ronaldo is still playing football because of the financial gains that comes from it rather I think he's doing so because of his passionate love for the game of football.
Cristiano Ronaldo have said before now that he'll continue to play professional football as long as his legs can carry him and considering his fitness level, I think the Portuguese star will continue to play top football till he clocks 42 years.

Ronaldo will no longer think about the money he gets from the club. He is not short of money, even if he retires now he will not be poor because of it.
The reason he is still playing very energetically is that he enjoys his game with the team. He likes and enjoys his career even though he knows he is not as good as when he was in his golden age.
He is a driving force for his team to play with enthusiasm. Whether at the club or in the national team, we see his figure is always extraordinary. Al Nassr made history when he managed to bring in great stars in the world.

Well I guess that's how it is. Because Cristiano Ronaldo still seems to have quite high ambitions even though he is no longer young. That's why Cristiano Ronaldo still always plays to his maximum and he always fights until the end without giving up. He always looks like the most enthusiastic player among the other players on the field. This indeed indicates that he still has high ambition and passion in the world of football and that is a positive thing that every football player must have so that he can always play with maximum strength in every match.

But another reason might also be because Cristiano Ronaldo just wants to enjoy football more and he needs a league and club that can still accept him and respect him better. And in the SPL and in AL-NASSR we see that Cristiano Ronaldo is always highly respected by everyone and the players here. So Cristiano Ronaldo always seems to enjoy the game very well here. And because he is no longer young, he might be able to think more about finances while continuing to play before finally retiring. What is clear is that I still see great enthusiasm in Cristiano Ronaldo.

If you think about it, what you say is very true because last season we could clearly see that Al Hilal was the team that would become champions because the difference was clearly visible. but yes, it is true that this time the competition in the SPL has become very tight because Al Hilal lost in their match against Al Khaleej, but of course this is very profitable for Ittihad because now Ittihad can finally shift Al Hilal's position.

but yes, the 3 teams are now competing fiercely and it is certain that if it is like this until the end of the season of course this will be exciting because the 3 teams will be competing to get 1st place. But in my opinion Al Nassr will definitely be more difficult to becoming champion because of course being in 3rd position is certainly not an easy thing to be able to shift 2nd and 1st positions.

but of course now Ittihad definitely wants to maintain its position at the top of the standings and what is certain is that this is very exciting. because Jorge Jesus' troops will definitely not remain silent and will not let Ittihad be at the top of the standings

We can't compare the Saudi Pro League with the top leagues in Europe, because they are very different and even in the last few years the Saudi Pro League has become popular because there are many star players coming to the Saudi Pro League and one of the players who started it is Ronaldo. It is also natural that no team wants to extend the contract for a long time, or for example 2 years. As you said, at his age many players have retired and there are only a few players who can survive until they are at his age. So it is very risky for a team to contract for a long time.

That's right, all of this is nothing but the effect of Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nassr. And I'm Asian, but previously I never knew about Saudi Arabian clubs and their players. But after CR7 came, this league immediately became the world's spotlight, even becoming the best in Asia.

And before CR7 came to the Saudi Arabian league, there were already several top European players who moved there, but the effect given to the popularity of the league, the impact was very small, unlike CR7 who was able to provide a significant shock effect on the popularity of the club. People always want to see CR7 wherever he plays, fans continue to follow CR7, so it's no wonder that Al Nassr and the Arab league don't want to lose CR7, because this can reduce the popularity of the league and the club. However, maintaining CR7 is only a short-term solution, considering his age is no longer young, the league needs to find other solutions to maintain its popularity.

In my opinion, the match between Al Hilal and Al Shabab was a very exciting match because in that match both teams really fought tooth and nail to win and luckily in betting I won because I bet on Al Hilal winning with a score of 1-2.

At first I thought that after being defeated by Al Khaleej Al Hilal would be defeated again in this match by Al Shabab because of course Al Shabab in this match was the first to score a goal through Hamdallah but fortunately Al Hilal was able to reply to Al Shabab's goal through Milinkovic Savic and of course I saw it in the match Al Hilal is really lucky because of course there was a goal scored by an Al Shabab player which was disallowed for offside by the referee because of course if it wasn't disallowed, of course Al Hilal would not have won this match and of course Will end in a draw.

but yes, now in my opinion Al Hilal's performance has decreased slightly even though he won the match and I see that Al Hilal's defense and attack has experienced a slight decline in performance, but yes, I hope that Jorge Jesus can improve all of that and in the end Al Hilal's performance can be even better. but honestly, in this match (Al Hilal vs Al Shabab) I was amazed to see Milinkovic, he was certainly a hero and the second goal he scored was really impressive. What do you all think, whether Al Hilal will continue to win or not in the upcoming matches?

Actually it all depends on Ronaldo himself and also Al Nassr whether they want to work together longer or not because Ronaldo himself will definitely continue to play until the 2026 World Cup is over because it is the most prestigious and most important competition for him so if both reach mutual agreement then Ronaldo and Al Nassr might be together until 2027.

Actually Ronaldo teammates in the Al Nassr squad are quite good and the only problem there is the defense line, look at Talisca, Mane who always perform well with Ronaldo for the front line and they often bring victory to Al Nassr.
If the defense line is getting stronger and can really perform optimally to minimize conceding goal then winning can definitely be more for Al Nassr, just like Al Hilal they are stronger for the front line and defense.

It is untrue if there are people said Ronaldo is very weak. Ronaldo performance is still quite well, he even still can compete for the top scorer.
What natural game do you mean? Ronaldo plays well if he is in a good mood and he is supported by the whole players. We shouldn't doubt with his ability in scoring goals, he is still one of the best strikers in the world until now.

He scored 2 goals in this match. He proves that his scoring ability is still great. He deserves to be the mainstay player of Al Nassr.

I'm not really sure to see Ronaldo scoring 1000 goals. But it is not impossible if he keeps playing until 45 years old.

Al Nassr dispatched their visitors Damac in the Saudi Pro League yesterday with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the only two goals in that game. Al Nassr haven't been consistent with their results in the Saudi Pro League this season which is why they're currently 8 points behind league leaders despite defeating Damac.

Al Nassr won the game against Damac which this match was not a hard game at all for a team like Al Nassr considering the players they have in this team and they could even win the game with a better result than this. Now people start talking about Ronaldo again since he is the player who scored two goals for Al Nassr but I think scoring goals against a team like Damac is not a hard and important move for any player.
The only good thing they had against Damac with Ronaldo was this player having more chance to become the top scorer.

It's a good one that Al Nasar is gradually covering up with the gap, and as for Ronald I'm so happy he's still in a very good form to the point he's able to deliver his team this much and not even have any reason for his team to want to doubt him for his performance even with his age, he's still doing so well already. Even if he eventually retire at Al Nasar I believe he's still going to be seen as an asset and a legend through the time he spent with them.

It is a good result for Al Nassr and Ronaldo. Al Nassr can shorten the point gap with this 3 points, meanwhile Ronaldo could show his ability as a top striker. Ronaldo sends the message to everyone who doubt him that he isn't over yet. He is still one of the best strikers in the world, he has the ability to help Al Nassr winning trophies. For a 39 years old player, he is still very productive and performs very impressively. By the way, his physical looks never changed, he is still like a player under 30 years old. 

Saudi league will be forced to do whatever they can, and pay Ronaldo whatever they can, even if it's half a billion dollars a year, no matter what you do, just try to keep him there. I always say, the greatest example of his contribution to this league is this topic itself, it's at 800 pages nearly, and it didn't existed before Ronaldo joined. So in the 1.5 years or give or take 2 years, he has been there, he made sure that the fame and marketing of Saudi league went up so much that we talked 800+ pages long about it.

Without him, this league is once again boring, sure they have some other stars, Neymar is there, Mane is there, they have some names, even Benzema is there, but at the moment it doesn't feel like it would be anything similar at all, none of them could get as much attention as Ronaldo himself. All of those names combined do not get attention as much as Ronaldo gets all by himself. So one or another, Al Nassr, or even some other team in the league, someone has to keep him at Saudi League.

Al Nassr defeated Damac with 2-0 score yesterday, Ronaldo is being the hot topic as his efforts paid off, both goals were scored by him. His performance silence their opponents as well as them who keep taking about his age, performance and physical ability. From the start of the match, Al Nassr tried to take control of the field and they took several attempts of goals but failed. but they got an opportunity when their opponent team player unfortunately touch the football with his hand and Al Nassr got the plenty which was excellently done by Rolando at 17th minutes. Later Damac also tried enough but they failed before the defense system of Al Nassr. After the 2nd half started, Damac took the control but did several mistakes. Abdelkader Bedrane got the red card at 56th minutes due to hitting opponent player although i think that was happened mistakenly but bad luck, he got the red. And at 79th minutes a smooth goal was scored by Ronaldo again which made Al Nassr squard safe and build strong mentality to go ahead during that time. +9 minutes was added as extra minutes, Damac tired enough but unfortunately they unable to afford a single goal in that match and lost the game. Apart from that, Al Nassr standing on 3rd position with 25 points and Damac got 11th rank in the qualifying table

We should never write Ronaldo off as when you don't expect him to score, he's going to make you proud as a fan just as he made some of his fans proud yesterday when he scored twice. The last goal was a penalty and not an opened goal like the first one he scored in the games although it's still a goal. Al Nassr are currently at third on the table and still have a chance of winning the league if they continue to play very well and not lose any games. Al Nassr are worth playing in a way they get the opportunity to win the league and not always coming short of it as they begin to lose some games. Al nassr has played more games but it mightn't matter of they still loae.
