Ronaldo's SPL dominance with Al Nassr is amazing. I think his success is due to the team's full support, unlike at Man United. 20 goals is impressive, and he's a key player in Al Nassr's title race. With Mitrovic leading the way, Al Hilal is untouchable this season. I wonder whether Ronaldo can help Al Nassr pass them. It'll be hard, but Ronaldo can do it.

The key is consistency and seizing opportunities. Al Nassr has a good chance, but they must keep performing. Although strong, Al Hilal are not invincible. You can never count Al Nassr out with Ronaldo.

Al-Taawoun vs Al-Nassr Yesterday match of both teams enjoyed very nice match. Al-Taawoun did not play very well. Goalkeeper of Al-Taawoun team had a bad performance for which Al-Taawoun team scored 1 goal. Al-Taawoun team played  scored the first goal in the first 13 minutes of the start. On the other hand, Al-Nassr won the match by scoring 4 goals. I expected to see a tough fight between the two teams in this match, but I could not see it due to the poor performance of the Al-Taawoun team. The two teams were almost equal in the points table.

Last night was a victory that Al-Shabab really missed because in the last 6 matches in the Saudi league, Al-Shabab have never tasted victory again. They did this when they hosted al-Wehda at home and the win with a narrow score of 1-0 allowed Al-Shabab to breathe a sigh of relief to be able to move away from the relegation zone again. Abdullah Radif was a hero for Al-Shabab's victory in this match and if he had not scored a goal in the 86th minute then it is certain that the two teams would only be tied for 1 point.

Al-Shabab is indeed one of the teams that has experienced a drastic decline this season and they are very doubtful of being able to return to the top flight. But if they close this season without being relegated, that would be the best achievement they could do.

You can compare them and Ronaldo is all about full force, not about precision and smartness. You can see it when he takes a free kick, he never takes them as a smart shooter. He takes them with full force hoping he hits it right. Messi in contract is a smart player with unmatched precision and unprecedented short way acceleration and deceleration. If someone likes to watch beautiful soccer, Messi is the one to stick with. If someone prefers to watch soccer that is about pure force, Ronaldo might be the better choice.

I don't think we should compare Messi and Ronaldo, because they have their own strengths and to say who is better I think they are at the same level.
We are lucky to be able to witness their greatness and I think it will be difficult to find plyers like them in a very fierce competition. It will be very sad when they decide to retire as footballers.
They are footballers who last a very long time, even their dominance is unstoppable for more than a decade. Although many young players are born who have a good game, they remain a very interesting topic of conversation.
Now that they are old, they are just enjoying their career before deciding to retire later. They deserve to be considered as one of the legends of football.

maybe if Al Nassr fails to win the title this season it won't be a problem because as you said if Ronaldo wins the valuable title and one side Al Nassr is currently quite comfortable being runner up because all it needs is to have a big name that can be known throughout the world because it has a scoring machine with large numbers that can make Al Nassr big name known throughout the world and become a popular team in the SPL.
regarding the 5 week break, I also think the same thing if other leagues have a break that is not too long while the SPL is still in february or maybe every team will try to target european players in large numbers so it will take a long time.
but it shouldn't be 5 weeks and maybe there is something that causes the match schedule to be a bit longer but who knows what influences the gap that is too long because we haven't really studied everything in this SPL.

btw, it looks like after the break, I speculate that there will be a big surprise from Al Hilal, maybe they will lose at least once and bettors have to be careful betting on every Al Hilal match or else they will get a painful surprise. because for me a break that is too long has little influence on the players' performance and no matter how good a team is, it will definitely lose at least once in a season.

The match schedule that is paused in the SPL will indeed be very different from European football competitions, even the open transfer window will be much longer than what happened with European football, each country will have their own regulations and we can only accept them.
Moreover, longer break will also provide benefits for each team to be able to train better and prepare their best strengths for the next match after the transfer window has opened.
But it is true that many Ronaldo fans are little disappointed because they will not be able to see their idol player score goals during the break which takes place this January.

Now this is what is little confusing and of course there will be quite significant impact on each team and of course the most unexpected thing is injury problems which could possibly occur so that when the time comes to play in major competition such as the SPL team that experience problems like this will decreased in terms of performance and quality of play.
But that Asian football, it will never be as good as European football, it just that the SPL in my opinion will really be much better than competitions like the AFC Asian Cup.

Yes and this "mistake" has been made in other contexts as well. I understand the statistic and it would be sort of unfair if you put together a global statistic about the best goalscorers and then leave some leagues out because someone says they are not good enough. A global statistic is what it is and it should include every league and every player. But those who are using that statistic, I expect them to be more reasonable about it and put the achievements into perspective. Saying that Ronaldo is the no. 1 scorer in the world because he scored more goals in the SPL than Haaland in the EPL is really getting ridiculous. There is no point in mentioning and presenting it that way.

Yes that's right. Ronaldo is indeed a special player even though he is not so young, in fact this season Ronaldo scored more goals than Manchester United in 2023, this is something crazy. If someone says the SPL league is not competitive, what about the European Cup qualifiers? Ronaldo is also productive in terms of scoring goals. What's more special about Ronaldo, when Ronaldo is on the field, suddenly everyone on the team becomes like him. That's the effect! Very influential!

However, it looks like this season Al Nassr will have difficulty winning the SPL title because they started the season badly so they lost a lot of points. In contrast to Al Hilal, they started the season well and have yet to lose in the SPL by managing to maintain a 7 point gap with Al Nassr.

I believe Messi is a better football player, but I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo is a more hardworking football player. Even though he is 38 years old, he still runs a lot on the pitch and puts a lot of effort. I think it's impossible to do that with God-given talents. These are achievements that are the result of hard work, discipline and a regular life. Ronaldo is above all a good professional. And he works hard to live like a good professional.

This is of course very encouraging, especially for Cristiano Ronaldo fans from all over the world because their favorite player is still scoring lots of goals to this day, being over 38 years old is not a problem because what is certain is that Ronaldo's potential is still worthy of competing with other young players, Al Nassr. and the country of Portugal must be very proud to have Cristiano Ronaldo, and until now he has not lost his performance and what is certain is that Al Nassr did not spend big money in vain to bring Ronaldo to the Saudi league.

Yes, I hope that in 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance will still be strong enough so that he will be quite a tough competitor for the Saudi league, especially competing with Al Nassr. The victory over Al Taawon through Ronaldo's final goal was like a Christmas gift for his fans as well as ending 2023 and Ronaldo closed 2023 as the top scorer.

CR7 who has being on football spotlight for more than a decade and still on the spotlight. One thing that can be attributed to him are goals, he hits on goals for any club he’s signed to and when we thought he was all done, we’re having him heading the Goal scoring chart of the SPL and the highest goal scorer in 2023 calendar year. CR7’s workrate will give his counterpart Mitrovic headaches especially the way he manages to net in every match; this is one thing of worry for them. Al-Hilal. Who sits pretty top of the log might be having issues with Al-Nassr who doesn’t seem to stop the chase anytime soon.

 Now Al-Hilal is without Neymar and that’s one factor that reduces my confidence in this team, I’m scared they might falter at some points and let Al-Nassr take the title and that will be a win for CR7 and his fans as he’ll now be able to have won every league he’s played in. Al-Nassr are a delight to watch and it’s quite unfortunate we’ll have to wait a little while and Trust them to give us the fun when next they play and trust Ronaldo to get the spotlight.

I'm also not used to the current schedule that the SPL has. Because stopping for 5 weeks is quite a long time and yes, we here definitely miss the SPL matches during that 5 week period.
Cristiano Ronaldo fans will definitely feel a little bored 5 weeks from now. Because Al-Nassr will only compete in the second month on the 12th against Al-feiha in the LCA round of 16. that's still a long time and more than 5 weeks if you count from now.

But I'm currently quite curious about what will happen in the mid-season transfer market. Whether the teams from the SPL will be able to bring back top European players or not in the middle of this season.

Little funny with Saudi  Pro League match schedule how possibility second half season get more than 5 week break out and teams will not play any one match except teams still participants in AFC Champion League of AFC Cup. Usually second half season break out around one week only because its not first half season have get break out more than five weeks. As Cristiano Ronaldo fans little disappointed because he will not able scoring goals in January 2024 except his appearances in AFC Champion League.

Actually AFC Asian Cup make all Asian League competition have postponed awhile, its bad regulation from AFC how come they play tournament on middle competition begin, usually all tournament will play after end league exactly around May to June not in January.

Even few things are cleared but still we need to stop these comparisons because these are never been ideal for any player everyone is playing with his comfort zone so if he is achieving records it's all about his fitness and performance so comparing with others is not ideal at all just go ahead with these statics and enjoy the game is best option Cristiano Ronaldo is 38 years old with Eric Haaland is 22 and both are completely in different worlds for their play with different conditions and level of competitiveness is also completely different for these both players if we have Haaland fit as he is currently then surely in near future we will have many records in front of his name as well but no one can prediction about anything with injury and other problems can ruin anything with Cristiano Ronaldo is surely one of the best we have no many like him in recent times.

It's true that even though Al-Nassr lost, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to win the golden boot if he can maintain his ranking as the top scorer in the SPL. But I personally hope that Cristiano Ronaldo can lift the trophy this season with Al-Nassr. Because he is quite old and maybe next season he won't be as good as now. So in my view this season is like the most successful season for Cristiano Ronaldo and I hope he and Al-Nassr can win the title this season.

I also don't know for sure why the holidays there are so long and not like in other leagues. But this certainly gives enough time for all teams to start improving their shortcomings. And it could be that when the League starts again, there will be many changes in terms of performance for all the teams.

Cristiano Ronaldo always performs well in any team and even when defending his country (Portugal) Cristiano Ronaldo is always good and always scores goals and when he appeared against Al-Taawon he was also very good, even though in yesterday's match there was an opportunity that he couldn't take advantage of. but of course he can cover up his failures through the goals he scores.

Realistically, it should be Aleksandar Mitrovic who holds the highest top score because Al-Hilal is the best and strongest team at the moment, but yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed a great player so it's not surprising even though Al-Nassr is in 2nd he currently holds the highest score. by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al-Hilal is the strongest team currently in the SPL and I am sure that if Neymar plays and is not injured, I think Al-Hilal will definitely be even stronger, of course we will not know whether Al-Hilal will always be consistent. win or not, but what is clear is that I think Al-hilal has the potential to continue winning.

Yes, of course Al-Nassr's opportunities are very wide open and of course if Al-Hilal is not consistent in winning then Al-Nassr's points definitely have the potential to surpass Al-Hilal as long as Al-Nassr is consistent. win.

I can't wait to see Al-Nassr play again but unfortunately the time is still far away so I will wait patiently.

I do agree with it. I think that it's not even considering the difficulty of any league. I meant that comparison was just meaningless here. The comparison only considered SPL from the Asian continent, despite the fact that the majority of it actually comes from the European continent.
I can't even put SPL to have the same difficulty as premier league. It's amazing ronaldo to scores a lot in the saudi pro league but let's back to the when ronaldo was playing for manchester united in the premier league.

He created 18 goals from 30 matches on MU in 21 - 22, 1 goal from 10 matches in 22-23. The author failed to take into account the challenges of any league and instead, solely focused on the number of goals scored by players in their respective competitions.
It makes that comparison being so meaningless. It's not a fair comparison.

If not as the top scorer it is not Ronaldo, it's fake Ronaldo there is no doubt that its ability can be relied upon in any league if he can compete in European leagues so there is no reason to exclude the Saudi Pro League. If Al-Nassr fails to win the title this season at least Ronaldo can secure golden shoes it can save him from fans' ridicule, We will watch the match in this league in February. lol what they do this month without a match, nearly 5 weeks without a match, why did the league break up to 5 weeks?

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved an extraordinary achievement, who is more than 38 years old but his performance is still good. Yes, I personally feel happy when Cristiano Ronaldo achieves this extraordinary achievement. and I think Al-Nassr is currently very lucky to have Cristiano Ronaldo. and in 2023, Cristiano ronaldo will succeed in becoming the top scorer, especially in the Saudi Arabian league, and now Cristiano Ronaldo has got 20 goals and Cristiano Ronaldo's rival, Aleksandar Mitrovic, has currently only got 17 goals. Yes, but the point is that the top scorer at the end of 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo, is still leading and in this new year, Cristiano Ronaldo's top scorer is also still leading. and I also hope that in 2024 Cristiano Ronaldo's performance will be even better and I want to see him win the golden boot.

I think Al-Nassr's victory against Al-Taawon and the goal that Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Al-Taawon in the last minute can be said to be a good New Year's gift for Cristiano Ronaldo's family and his fans.
