I don’t think Al Nassr have any problem now, the only reason they are behind Al Hilal is because they had a poor start, they lost two matches at the beginning of the season but ever since they have not lost a single match. The goals conceded is not the problem because they have won all the matches despite conceding goals, and in terms of good play and excellent performance they supersedes Al Hilala but they are just lucky to be ahead because they didn’t have a poor start like Al Nassr.

There seems to be something different with the Al Nassr team, they have a very different approach, mentality and pattern from that of last season and it is in favor of them so far. I just hope they don’t give up and keep fighting for the best

I am interested in Al Ittihad, after the departure of Nuno Santo from Al Ittihad. Currently the Al Ittihad coaching seat is empty, although now the Al Ittihad coaching hot seat has been taken over temporarily by the interim coach, Hassan Khalifa. However, it seems that he is more ideal with the offensive system that is implemented.
Hassan Khalifa was able to bring Al Ittihad to overthrow its opponent against Abha. Yep, even though Abha is a mediocre team. However, the interim coach was able to make his temporary team appear impressive. Benzema was able to prove himself by scoring a hat-trick, and one goal was scored by Igor Cornando.

To be honest, I just looked at the statistics of the Al Ittihad squad, which has been missing from our discussion for a while. I mean, most of the other members focus on Al Nassr and his Ronaldo. others, Al Hilal with Mitrovic. So, I decided to look for another theme. and yes, Al Ittihad seems very interesting. as I often say, Nuno Santo is a typical coach who chooses to play safe or defensive. That's why Al Ittihad is not showing good progress. Likewise with Bezema, his name is rarely heard in our discussion in this discussion. Most of us assess its performance as decreasing. However, I remain adamant that the coach is the one who is not competent enough to maximize his team's squad. although, last season he was able to bring Al Ittihad to win a trophy. but what I don't like is the system, it's monotonous and only relies on counter attacks. play offensively, if you face a team that is far from their level.

Well, let's wait and see which coach the club management will appoint. Will it still be led by an interim coach, or will they bring in someone more ideal.

There is really no discussion that Ronaldo is great to have on the team for Al-Nassr, of course he is and he would have probably helped a lot of teams in Europe as well if he decided to stay there, but he went for the money and that was his personal choice.

Whether he is the world's best player, that is a question that everyone can have their opinion of. But I think anything else but being the best scorer in the Saudi Professional League would have been a bad performance by Ronaldo. I think that is what everyone expected.

Watching Cristiano Ronaldo, the world best player play football gives me joy and puts a beautiful smile on my face. Ronaldo style of the game is quite different from the rest players, he's outstanding and go for goals and not impressive skills, he scores and gives points to Al Nassr this season, permit me to say Al Nassr are lucky enough to have him in the team. Al Nassr have to work on their defendlines because they have conceded much unexpected goals. Al Nassr is behind Al Hilal on the SPL table and they're working extremely harder to level points with the team that sits #1 on the table, we all know it's not going to be easy.

I don't think this has anything to do with Ronaldo having more freedom this season than last season. I doubt that the coach last year limited him in his decision making on the pitch. Ronaldo can always play whatever he wants. But as you can see Ronaldo scores more and yet they are behind. They have the most goals but concede about twice as many goals as Al-Hilal. That's a problem they need to work on.

It’s no news that football governing bodies like UEFA and FIFA all have a different perspective towards Ronaldo and that could be seen as envy and that has shown both in officiating and award ceremonies, there was a rumor to include Saudi Clubs into the UEFA competition. This alone won’t be any sort of an easy task to do.

 It’ll have to cause a  change to the competition’s name except FIFA would create a different competition where both European and Asian teams will be allowed in a football contest, and I doubt if they would do that cause alot of players are already complaining of being  overworked out, which is leading to too much fatigue lately. However, UEFA should come out and clear the air and save Cristiano from his critics in the media.

One can even believe that Ronaldo is a 38-year-old player because this player is even shows better performance than years ago when he was younger, we can't forget that Ronaldo is the top scorer in the national teams with 127 goals, and this this not easy to break this record. I think Al Nassr is very lucky to have a player like Ronaldo and regardless of his age, they should extend his contract for a long time.

Major League Soccer and Saudi Pro League are competitive but I think SPL captures more attention from Europe this season, it's simply because of one man, we all know how popular he becomes, Cristiano Ronaldo. Ballon d'Or are simply for the best players, Ronaldo and Messi have become rival over the past decades and there's good results between both of them. Leo Messi was favorite to win Ballon d'Or this season because they rated him to be among the best after lifting the World Cup with his national team, Argentina. We understand how these things works and we're hoping to see another promising young player to win Ballon d'Or.

I feel like that has something to do with the fact that he keeps talking, and when you talk then there will be people who dislike what you say, or even if you do not talk like Mbappe doesn't talk, but he creates contract issues all the time. So not all footballers will have the same result, Messi got booed off basically on his very last game at PSG, that dude won the league title twice and even finished assist leader of the league on his last year, at like 34 or 35 years old, and he was still basically chased away from the club.

Footballers are not really loved or hated the same amount, it's easier to hate them, it's harder to love them but when someone loves a footballer, we can see how Ronaldo fans are, you can't go online without seeing someone showering love of Ronaldo, I keep saying people literally putting Messi out of top 10, just to put Ronaldo at first place, that doesn't make sense as we all know it, so you get the hate, you get the love, you get them both.

But indeed, I think it is not proper if Messi gets the Ballon d'Or this year. Although indeed,I also realize that Messi managed to get the WorldCup title for Argentina but atleast, Messi did not succeed after that or at this moment with LA Galaxy. But about Ronaldo, atleast Ronaldo still has great efforts to get titles and trophies with Al Nassr so far, and here in the Saudi Pro League also Ronaldo can still be consistent in making goals to getting good result for Al Nassr. Therefore, at least Ronaldo is also still better at this moment because he still managed to make a big contribution to Al Nassr.

I understand if a fan will defend their idol player and I really respect every opinion, but we have to be patient and wait for confirmation that is truly confirmed if the Saudi Arabian club can enter the Champions League to prove to the world that the Arab club currently in Ronaldo place can reach the highest level.
Furthermore, regarding Al Nassr who will compete against Al-Okhdood it should be a very easy match to continue to get points to catch up with the difference in points from Al Hilal and if Al Nassr cannot take advantage of this opportunity there is little hope of being able to take over first place in the points table but I believes CR7 is still capable of providing a big score for Al Nassr.

I want to see Alnasrr or other teams in a new Champions League or whatever it called the torunament, but i dont like to see this invitations to events, that is not in football, maybe in tennis or other sports, but in high level club football no.

So i hope a new league with all the powerfull teams from europe and middle east but in a good way, no entering from the window.

The news of Al Nassr taking part in next season's UEFA Champions League contest is one that is so our of the jurisdiction of the European Football body. There are so many points to counter this decision but let's focus on one which seems as the key point, Al Nassr is a club in a league that doesn't fall under the European umbrella.

 How and where's it that that UEFA, Europe's football body would now because of some interests we may not have a single idea about give a go ahead for an Asian Club to be a part of its competition, that's more or less corrupt, no one knows the motive behind this decision but the truth is it's just not a right decision, if things are to be appropriate, there ought to be a lot of counters against this verdict.

 It's more or less diminishing to the capacity of European football, its occurrence would bring negative looks at the football body and it has to be avoided, some say it's a rumor and some say it's a news that stands at the start of the new season, whichever one it is, it just won't be right for it to ever happen, football shouldn't be made to seem as something else from its original vìew, there should be correctness in all it entails.

The coach has quite a big role for a club and I see that Luis Castro's ability to give tasks to Ronaldo is very intelligent. Last season, Ronaldo's contribution in scoring goals was quite limited, but this season we can see how productive Ronaldo is in scoring goals. This happened inseparable from how Luis Castro gave Ronaldo freedom to play. Al-Nassr has experienced quite rapid progress this season and the arrival of several players in the last transfer window makes their squad look very complete in the front line positions.

Currently Al-Nassr is in second place in the standings, four points behind Al-Hilal, so this match is considered important enough for Ronaldo to win it. Al-Hilal has the advantage of playing at home and maybe Jurge Jesus will try to take advantage of the home match to distance himself from Al-Nassr's points. It will be quite difficult to see who will emerge victorious in this match, but I am more confident that Al-Nassr will lead the match on a winning path.

Cristiano Ronaldo keeps defying age and setting records. Scoring 46 goals and making 12 assists in just 50 games in a single year is truly remarkable. At 38 years old, he's proving that age is just a number, especially when other players of his generation are transitioning into coaching roles in recent years. Cristiano's talent and determination are unmatched, making him a true legend in the world of football. We need to raise our voices and celebrate while he's still active. This is a once-in-a-generation milestone. It's no wonder he's still making headlines at 38; he just can't stop impressing not only his fans but the whole world.

I totally agree with you on everything you have said regarding CR7. And the fact is that not many players can still maintain their goal productivity when they are approaching 40 years of age. Currently, CR7 will be 39 years old in a few months. And even though this season CR7 may still be productive, we have to understand that next season his productivity will decrease slightly. It's just that it is extraordinary to see a 38 year old player still being the top scorer in the UEFA European Championship Qualifying, beating the young players there. People may ignore CR7 who is the top scorer in the SPL. But they should not underestimate the top scorer in the UEFA European Championship Qualifying, which currently has CR7 at the top there.

It is remarkable for Ronaldo at the age of 38 but still consistent with scoring the most goals at this time, while for the generation of his age is no longer productive except to become a coach while some of them still failed to become a coach except Xabi Alonso and Xavi who are still successful in holding big clubs.

But here we see Ronaldo can still continue to prove he still deserves to play in a few seasons if he continues to score goals, what I see now in the Arab League being the top scorer and European league qualifications being the most goals at this time, while there are easily greater players but Ronaldo still leads the goal, so I think no one can argue with that.

About that point I think Man United's mistake was too fast without thinking long, as a result they could not perform well even though someone said Ronaldo when at Man United became a burden.

But I think that Haaland is on the best way to take Ronaldo's position. Ronaldo is about striking and deciding games, that is also what Haaland is about.

Messi is about making the game look like art while at the same time set unbreakable records as an individual player, too.

But given the numbers that Haaland is producing as a scorer, I think he will definitely be able to overtake Ronaldo in all competitions, but he will never be able to make the game look as beautiful and driven by high precision as Messi.

Not liked by many people? it's a big no. ronaldo will never become a footballer with the biggest fan base in the world if theer are many who disliked him. In fact, it's not people but UEFA was always dislike him. I don't know what the reason is but UEFA seems always try to deny him.
There was a rumor if al nassr will go to the UEFA champion league but in my opinion if this rumor was not true. There will be conflicts between UEFA and european as they were not allowing non EU team to play in their territorial.
It shall not be called as UEFA champion league anymore. It will be only destroying the reputation of al nassr.

FIFA needs to facilitate that a new competition between european team vs asian team. This will far better rather than force the unnecessary thing to be implemented. This is only triggering many people to hate the club.
I think that rumor related to the politic rather than football.

The passion for playing football is still very high for Cristiano Ronaldo in his old age and he can still do the same things that much younger players usually do. I have to say that he doesn't lack anything other than age and in terms of performance he can still be relied on, especially finishing in front of the opponent's goal. After all, any defender would be afraid if the player they had to guard was Cristiano Ronaldo, especially as his experience in finding spots to score goals cannot be underestimated.

If at a younger age for the Saudi league the possibility would be closer to 60 goals and we cannot deny that in the top European league alone he is often the top scorer by scoring more than 20 to 30 goals every season.

However, everyone thought Cristiano Ronaldo was the problem at Manchester United at that time and after he left, most people finally realized that the crux of the problem was not Cristiano Ronaldo but that Manchester United had been destroyed from the start. Cristiano Ronaldo came to Old Trafford to help his team recover from adversity and at the same time he was labeled as a troublemaker. It is strange to see these fans who have even criticized their own club legend. But in the end I was happy to see Cristiano Ronaldo smiling again with Al-Nassr and he has definitely found a new home to continue his football career.
