Talisca's performance has been extremely helpful to the club since his return from the red card he received the last time which includes the hat-trick he had in the previous match and other great goals he had made. But I also want you to also realize is that Ronaldo's presence all these while have brought more confidence to the team. Whenever he's around, the guys since to be more professional and hardworking to make more goals. That's the effect of having a star player like Ronaldo amongst your club.

After Neymar, now Al Hilal is near to signing a contract with Salah, he is currently playing for Liverpool but this player hasn't had a good performance so far. Salah was close to joining Al Ittihad during the summer but they failed and I don't think if they can hire another player during the winter but after the drama they had with Neymar now Al Hiala can hire Salah to have another superstar in their team.

Right, you are know how those of us who really hope to see CR7 play feel. And actually he has done his best in previous matches. So it's natural that he is tired and has to take a break. He is now almost 39 years old. And it seems CR7 also knows that the club will be fine even though he is absent from the match. Because Talisca and Mane have become extraordinary spearheads for Al-Nassr. Especially Talisca, who rarely wastes the opportunities she has in every match. Talisca did not play in several matches because of a red card. And when he returned he was able to make a hat trick. I think the Al-Nassr players this season have really made all Al-Nassr fans happy and satisfied with their performance.

For every football fan, missing CR7 in action is a heartbreaker. In the field, I was also keeping an eye out for him. But let's honor the man for his incredible endurance at 38 years old! It wears you out to play at maximum capacity every minute of the season. Additionally, our man needed that break to refuel after back-to-back games. Furthermore, the tactical layoff may indicate that he is fully committed to the next league games, which are vital for Al Nassr. Every point matters because they are vying for the title. My friend, it's all about the long game. Without a doubt, we'll see him shining shortly

Last night I was also curious why CR7 didn't play in the match against Al-Duhail. And I immediately looked for news related to this. But it turns out that around 8 hours before the match started, there was a lot of news circulating that CR7 would indeed be absent from the match. Because he was tired and needed rest. And this is quite normal. Because CR7 plays more full time and is rarely replaced. So it's natural that he's tired. Considering his age, he is also 38 years old. So actually it was quite extraordinary to see him still actively playing from the first minute to the end of the match. Because usually players at this age play more with limited time due to stamina problems. But CR7 always has good stamina. So occasionally being absent is a good thing for him. But I really hope to see his game in this match. But fortunately Talisca was able to bring victory well for the club even without CR7.

After the weak performance we saw from Nuno Santos during this season, he officially got fired from Al Ittihad.
Al Ittihad spent too much money during this season for this team and they bought many expensive players like Karim Benzema but this team hasn't gotten good results so far in this season.
It seems he also didn't have a good relationship with players in Al Ittihad like Benzema.

According to Relevo, Wednesday (8/11/2023), Al Ittihad is targeting well-known French coaches who are respected by Benzema and N'Golo Kante to fill the position left by Santo. On that basis, the club considers Zidane to be the most ideal candidate.

He has understood very well what his body condition is. He has known that age is not just a number, but age does have an effect on his stamina and movement in playing ball. If we observe at this time, Ronaldo has changed his playing style to adjust the condition of the body. He doesn't run much, doesn't hold the ball much to attract opponents. He's smart, he immediately gives the ball to a friend and looks for a new position. An Nassr understands that and the coach has certainly anticipated, and the transfer earlier this season was enough to help Ronaldo stay productive.

The smart guy will be obviously picking al shabab instead of raed. Raed was only collecting 6 points which are the worst club in the league. No doubt that if shabab will able to win easily against raed. Shabab is far superior in everything rather than raed.
The odds was not too bad but i think that it's still worth with the risk. Raed is always need a miracle to get draw or win against other team. It has become only the way to get easy points by other clubs.
Al shabab will be going to win the game with at least two goals. Al raed was always losing since the early season. It makes this club is not worthy opponent for al shabab.
The standing is telling us about which team that shall be picked for this match. Raed was a few step behind compared with al shabab this time. People will prefer to pick shabab instead of raed.

I think that if manchester untied much more respect ten hag instead of ronaldo. It's caused by ten hag was a coach of manchester united while ronaldo was a player. There is the different between the position of those.
That's the main reason MU let ronaldo to leave from the club rather than ten hag. The management thought that if ten hag is much more valuable than ronaldo. It has been proven how ten hag was able to bring manchester united into the 4th place last season and being qualified for the UCL.
MU terminated Ronaldo's contract instead of Ten Hag for this main reason, but it doesn't mean Ten Hag won't be fired if MU performs poorly.
Ronaldo is getting a place where he is able being very happy to play there. Al nassr has become his new home even he was interesting to extend his contract.

Even top players in other leagues are also like that, they will take a break for few matches especially against weak teams.

If there's someone hate Ronaldo because he was just taking a break for few matches, it's really unbelievable. The guy who should be hated is Neymar, he's intentionally skipped Al Hilal's match and play for his national team. Now he's out from a season and still get paid for it lol.

What I know is that the club has a contract agreement until it ends and paying players' salaries is the club's obligation even if they suffer injuries and cannot play for their team. I also saw the list of players released by the Brazilian coach, there was no Neymar's name in it so the potential injury suffered by Neymar could take quite a long time to recover. Neymar's transfer value is much higher than Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, which is why the Saudi Arabian public has been so excited since his move.

But now the club will face a difficult situation where Neymar will be sidelined for a long period of time due to his injury, so he cannot make any contribution to the club. Regarding arrogance, I don't really know because what I see is that Neymar can adapt quickly to any team he strengthens.

~snip~ Talisca scored a hat-trick to put on the team's victory, and they are still top of the group with twelve points. Even though Al Nassr didn't win they will still be leading the group, because even if they lose, they will still qualify. I think Cristiano Ronaldo was absent because he need to rest, of they lose it wouldn't be a problem. I can't wait to see him back on the field.

I think given time, Benzema will be able to perform well for his team. And I think we should also remember that the Saudi league has actually become competitive right now. So if we think that he should be performing well because it is an easy competition, we would definitely be very wrong.  I understand that it is definitely a little easier when compared to the competition that he was facing in La Liga. But still, this is good competition right now, and the other clubs are always improving. so I think we would need to give him a little more time. I still believe that he will be able to redeem himself.

How he's going to get paid? He is out due to injury. So unless he has a good insurance package against injury, he's not going to get anything from his club. And this guy has been behaving very arrogantly ever since he landed in Saudi Arabia. He should not forget the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are paid more than him, and they are playing for their respective clubs without much drama. This is exactly one of the reasons why Brazil national team is in such a pathetic state right now. They have arrogant players like Neymar who doesn't respect anyone.  

Al-Raed vs Al-Shabab two team match is going to start tomorrow in Saudi Professional League. Waiting to enjoy the match of these two teams. Still I don't understand which team will win this match. Al-Shabab played very well in previous matches.  Al-Shabab is still in 10th position in the points table, so I hope Al-Shabab team players will play well in this match. But Al-Raed team is in 18th position in the points table. It will be very difficult for Al-Raed team players to win this match.  -Al-Shabab team is much stronger than Raed team, so I think Al-Shabab team has more chances to win this match.

Since the year of 2001 when Cristiano Ronaldo started his official appearance in hid football career, he has appeared in 1,229 official matches and have scored a total of 881 goals making him the 4th player in the ranking of most appearances in the football history and highest goal scorer in the same ranking. That's a lot of history to break and it is only a testament of his unrelenting efforts and capacity to play matches.

For the sake of history, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most performing striker in the history of football going by this ranking especially as we factor in his longevity to play so many matches in the span of 22 years approximately. I think Ronaldo is still looking at breaking the record of becoming the player with the highest appearance as he has an additional 182 matches to play to take over the ranking ahead of Peter Shilton, an England goalkeeper who kept the record since 1997.

In my calculations, right me if I'm wrong, Ronaldo needs approximately 6 more league seasons to play to lead the ranking of the most appearance in the football history. I don't think this is necessary as he's already the highest forward with such great achievement.

Like you have mentioned, it's better if Ronaldo takes good rest off some unimportant match while he allows other young upcoming star players to shine too. Else he could end up with an injury as it only normal to think of that if he continues to play every match. If Ronaldo goes into retirement because of an injury, it will be a greedy thing to deal with.

Plus, Benzema likes to be at the right place and the right time, his positioning is what makes him good, but that also requires him to get good passes, look at all his goals during his ballon d'or season and you will see that he is not a player that gets the ball and dribbles and scores, he stays at places that are so well that he just touches the ball once, to shoot, and then he scores like that easily.

When we are talking about a player like that, the team may not be good enough to pass him those passes, they are not good enough all around him to give him the ball right at the correct place. He no longer has players like vini jr. that could pass the ball to him at the right time and that's why he is having harder time to adjust as well.

It's a good thing they defeated the opposition team even after they've gathered alot of points, atleast it shows how strong the are in the competition and also they've avoided the opposition team from getting a win record against them, Al-Nassr showed their dominance with Cristiano Ronaldo it shows how good they've become playing without their star player and preforming very brilliantly is a very good thing for the team incases where he's sick or injured for a while.

 Cr7 is one player I really admire alot, he's very hardworking and makes his age not to be a very big problem for him, like most players who could barely last on the pitch for 45mins but are much more younger than him, I think he'll be among one of those players that lasted till their 40's or even beyond due the love he has for the game.
