Indeed, winning and losing are normal results. But, for Al Nassr who have struggled and made great efforts from season to season and then, Al Nassr lost at home against Al Qadisiya a promoted team, then it is clearly  a very bad result. After all, Al Nassr with its luxurious squad should also be a competing team in the first and second positions, but Al Nassr still  failed to be the best in the Saudi Pro League.

This problem for me is not just about Ronaldo, but because of their efforts by making many luxury signings, Al Nassr should also succeed in getting good results. Although they still failed to get the trophy, but a team as big as Al Nassr should not lose when playing at home, moreover the team he faced was a promotion team, Al Nassr is like a big team that  has no clear goals  or targets.

Actually, in this case I am not talking about the context of the top score in the SPL as you think, because this season Mitrovic is clearly superior to Ronaldo if we talk about the top score in the league, but from what I said above, the discussion is actually broader about Ronaldo ability to scoring goals from 200 different teams,  Is it done by Mitrovic as well at this time?
of course no, because so far their quality and also their level are very different, about Mitrovic ability to score better goals in the league, we should also not be able to deny that he has better support at Al Hillal, so it is not surprising that he can have better goals producticity, so just imagine if Ronaldo had the same support at Al Nassr,  Wouldn't he be better than Mitrovic in terms of goal productivity?

I am sure they must be incredibly excited about this game. They are the first team to beat Al Hilal in 1.5+ years, that's a huge achievement without a doubt, yeah they are not ranked that high, but they did stop the unbeaten streak of Al Hilal, that was like 40+ games or something if I am not wrong and that's in itself is a great achievement.

I would have expected either Al Ittihad or Al Nassr to finally be able to do this, but turns out they weren't and we are seeing some unexpected team that does it. In any case, they must be happy with the three points in itself of course, just like any other three points, but we are also seeing them do much better here as well, and getting a much better result without a trouble as well.

I am not sure Ronaldo has ever done anything out of love for a club. He was trying to pursue his own interest to the maximum, which is mostly about money and now it would be Sporting because nobody else would take him as he is a messy diva. But when Al Nassr offers him again 200 million, do you really think out of love he would go to Sporting? Of course not.

The teams you mentioned are struggling, but I am still careful to call Sporting a favorite now in the Champions League. They will go to the last 16 quite certainly, but so far except for Manchester City they haven't had strong opponents and even Tottenham was able to beat Manchester City away from home, but I would never argue that Tottenham were able to win the Champions League if they played in that competition.

The initial buzz was pretty big when Ronaldo went there, but as far as I can tell the buzz died down mostly. There are not that many people talking about Ronaldo anymore and while it is true that he increased popularity, the effect was temporary. They thought Ronaldo could get a snowball rolling, but that wasn't quite the case. Great players stopped joining the league because the Saudis made the mistake to offer Ronaldo half a billion for 2.5 years, which led other professionals to ask for a lot as well and that wasn't sustainable.

Chemistry and teamwork are still problems at Al Nasr to this day. I also don't understand why this is so difficult to overcome. In fact, as we know, Al Nasr is currently filled with experienced players. So these players should already know that unity and chemistry are very important for the team they are playing for, namely Al Nasr, to rise. But strangely, the Al Nasr players seem to only rely on Ronaldo. Even though this will not succeed in making Al Nasr successful, because no matter how great Ronaldo is, he will definitely be very tired if he is the only one who is the mainstay. Therefore, Pioli, as the new coach at Al Nasr, must make the Al Nasr players have unity and good chemistry. Because if we compare Al Hilal with Al Nasr, it is clear that Al Hilal is superior in terms of compactness. Therefore, it is not surprising that Al Hilal often wins the Saudi Arabian league.

But currently Al Hilal also seems to be experiencing a slight decline in performance. Because two days ago Al Hilal was defeated by a team like Al Khalej. So this defeat gives me a clear picture that this season Al Hilal's performance has experienced a slight decline. Because usually Al Hilal is always able to beat Al Khalej. Maybe now Al Ittihad will become champions in the Saudi Arabian league. Because currently Al Ittihad is able to become the top of the standings in the Saudi Arabian league. What do you think.

Apart from that, today Al Hilal will compete in the Asian Champions League follow-up match against Al Sadd. I think this match will be very exciting to watch and I personally might bet on Al Hilal in this match.

Al-Nassr's current points tally is the same as that of Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Shabab. The only difference is the number of goals scored by Al-Nassr, which is far superior. And this condition gives an idea that Al-nassr has really experienced a decline compared to previous seasons. Especially at the start of this season. But new hope did come after Pioli arrived. because Al-nassr has had more positive results thanks to Pioli. It's just that Al-nassr is still having difficulty catching up with Al-Ittihad and Al-hilal. And it seems that many people's dream of seeing Al-Nassr become champions in the SPL will not be easy to come true. With the current condition of the Al-NASSR squad, I still have doubts. Unless maybe Al-Nassr doesn't lose again for the rest of this season, which is still long. But I doubt they can do it because the season is still long. but we also don't know whether Al-hilal and Al-ittihad will continue to be consistent or not. So there is still hope for everyone.

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo always performs well and always breaks records, that's why so many people admire him. Yes, Al Qadisiyah performed very well and they attacked very well, making it difficult for the Al Nassr defenders and of course this will certainly make Pioli have to improve the Al Nassr defenders. What you say is absolutely true, a defeat is something that definitely applies to all clubs, including elite clubs and other clubs.

But yes, Cristiano Ronaldo will of course soon turn 40, but he still performed well in the Al Nassr match against Al Qadsiyah and he scored a goal in that match. and most recently in the Al Nassr match against Al Gharafa at LCA I also saw that Ronaldo also performed very well because he scored 2 goals and of course this made Cristiano Ronaldo's name even better and what is certain is that his performance was extraordinary.

but honestly, I hope Ronaldo can win the title with Al Nassr this season and in my opinion there is certainly still time for Al Nassr to become champions and I hope Al Nassr will not experience another defeat in the upcoming match. and of course Pioli will definitely make the best strategy and I also see that Pioli always learns from experience, that's why I saw that in the Al Nassr match against Al Gharafa at LCA Al Nassr players appeared more confident and were able to take advantage of opportunities well.

Ittihad really got lucky with this week, Hilal normally do not lose and with Al Hilal losing this week, Ittihad finally took the top spot, first time in two seasons that we are seeing someone other than Al Hilal being the leader. Neymar is really an unlucky person lol, he is getting adjusted to the team and just as he is, we are seeing them losing the top spot.

All in all, Ronaldo must be very angry with his teammates, they could have won and closed the gap a bit more and they still ended up losing and the gap stayed the same. Gap staying the same isn't a good thing, because they could have closed that, just because the gap isn't bigger, they shouldn't be happy about it. We are going to see them regret this week a lot.

Ronalod will want to leave at the end of the season if you ask me, and I honestly believe that we should be seeing him play at Portugal now. Doesn't even have to be like some good team, he doesn't have to go back to sporting, go back to Andorinha or Nacional etc, his youth teams. He could do a lot of wonders there, he could literally own the team if Portugal allows that, and just play there for fun, he can do that for many years. It's both retirement, but also not, he would be still playing each week, but also having fun.

Al-hilal is always consistent and shows extraordinary performance. even though they had just experienced their first defeat. But I think that's a natural thing because they won't always be able to maintain the unbeaten record they had last season and since the start of this season. Apart from Al-hilal, we also see that Al-ittihad is much more consistent this season compared to last season.

But it's really unfortunate because Al-Nassr hasn't been very consistent since the start of the season. And if Pioli had been brought in earlier then perhaps Al-Nassr's points tally would not have been much different from Al-hilal and Al-ittihad. But now, as we can see, Al-Nassr has a very different point score from Al-ittihad.

Winning & losing is normal, we can't see these teams always winning their matches. Al-Qadisiyah, even though they're a promoted team, they have a strong intention to continue being in the SPL title race. Look at their current position, they're at the top of the SPL standings. Moreover, talking about win and lose, you should focus more on Al-Hilal, about how they could lose to Al-Khaleej .

The football world expects a lot from a talented player like Ronaldo and many call him a goal machine, which is certainly logical. In the last match, Ronaldo's team Al Nasr won a great victory against Al Gharafa and he was able to score a pair of goals. Of the two goals he scored, both were scored from inside the box. He scored the first goal in the 46th minute of the match with a header and the second goal was scored in the 64th minute of the match with a great tactical shot. With the pair of goals, Ronaldo has scored a total of 913 goals in his career. He has scored 13 goals in a total of 17 matches for Al Nasr this season and has also assisted on 3 goals.

What I know is that Al Nassr has ambitions to win the title, but their squad performance does not show good teamwork and if we look at Al Hilal, their players work hard to make their team appear solid, it is only natural that Al Hilal is still consistent in the SPL.
Even so indeed since Pioli took over Al Nassr, the club's performance has been better and so far from what I have observed, they have managed to achieve 10 wins and 2 losses in all competitions, they need to improve their performance so that their position does not continue to decline because Al Shabab and Al Qadsyah are targeting 3rd position and currently these three teams have the same points.

Al Khaleej performed very well and they were very strong and their defense line worked optimally, yes, even though Al Hilal controlled a lot of the ball in that match, the players Al khaleej appeared confident and they had a strong mentality which in the end, even though Al Hilal was the first to score the goal, but with Al Khaleej's good spirit and mentality was finally able to turn things around, Al Salem, he performed very well and he was the hero in that match. Yes, unfortunately in that match the Al Hilal fans were definitely sad because usually Al Hilal always wins, but in that match the Al Hilal fans definitely saw the team they supported lose and they definitely didn't expect something like that to happen.

because Al Khaleej has won that match, now Al Khaleej will definitely be ready for another match because there will definitely be a high level of self-confidence from the Al Khaleej players and for sure Al Khaleej will now definitely be respected by other clubs because they have succeeded in defeating a strong club. in SPL.

In my opinion, there will definitely be an exciting match in Al Khaleej's next match because Al Qadisiyah will fight Al Khaleej, which of course will definitely be very exciting because Al Qadisiyah in their last match successfully beat Al-Nassr and now Al Qadisiyah will fight a team that can beat Al Hilal. . Who do You think will win that match?

Cristiano Ronaldo in his recent interview after his match for his national team, said that at his age now, he simply enjoys football, every match and doesn't think too much about future. I agree with him, because at this age, a serious injury can terminate his career immediately but hopefully he will be able to avoid such injuries and prolong his career in more years.

He is a goal machince since a 2006 - 2007 season after returing from World Cup 2006, and he has some big targets in rest of his career. Hit 1000th goal milestone, and has an official match with his kid Cristiano Ronaldo Junior. If he continues his career in Saudi Arabia, and can score about 40 goals each seasons, I think 1000th goal target will be hit.

Rumor is Jose Mourinho made a phone call and asked Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Saudi Arabia, move to Turkey for joining Fenerbahçe.

Of course because he is goal machine that does not disappoint, Ronaldo is the same as goal and when he plays then the chances of getting goal for Al Nassr are greater and we can also see directly the statistics of Al Nassr match there almost in every match creating goal and the percentage may be more than 80%.
Yesterday in the AFC Champions League match showed Al Nassr winning against Al Gharafa with 3 goal and only 1 goal in return, Ronaldo also gave 2 goal for the victory in the match.

Al Qadisiyah was strong enough to withstand the pressure Al Nassr this season. The Knights of Najd defeats was quite shocking but that's simply a mere setback for them because they've bounce back to form. Losses is general and can simply happen to any elite team in football. That's the evident factor that an elite team needs adjustments and fixing from the manager, not only him but it also affects the players. There is this special player in Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo have triggered big winnings and this have become a major transformation for the SPL elite side. At his late 30s, Cristiano Ronaldo is breaking records and examining to be th very best player currently in Saudi Arabia. He's one of the best player to elevate his team's performance to reach the very top.

It is all good and nice, but how is it possible that Mitrovic is so far ahead. He has almost double the number of goals as Ronaldo and I think we would agree that Ronaldo is supposed to be the superior player. But you can see how it is not about Ronaldo's talent as a player, but about his public status that they paid so much money for him. Saying that the age is the problem here, even Benzema is in front of him in the goal scorer list and he played two games less than Ronaldo this season.

But Ronaldo couldn't care less. Nobody knows what is really in the making and it was once said he is supposed to become an ambassador for Saudi Arabia, which I think will perhaps add another billion to his wealth.

Although he did not manage to bring his team to victory with the goal he scored in the match, but at least we still see the consistency and extraordinary ability can still be shown by Ronaldo at this time, Al nassr under Pioli coaching have great hopes to develop, but I think they still need to improve the quality of their squad in the transfer market later to be better because relying on Ronaldo alone is certainly not enough to be able to break the dominance Al Hillal in SPL.

One by one record has been created by Ronaldo during his incredible career, achieving the record as a player scoring against 200 different teams is certainly an amazing thing, but honestly I wish he could complete a record even bigger than that, which is to become a player who manages to score 1000 goals before he retires later.

Over the weekend in the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr did suffer a home defeat in the hands of Al Qadisiyah. In the game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his team's only goal ajd this morning, there's a report by International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) that the Portuguese star is now the only player to have scored against 200 different opponents. Statistics they say don't lie and that's why I totally believe this report. Even when he's not winning a game, Cristiano Ronaldo is still breaking records

 

I didn't follow Saudi Pro League this weekend and I am surprised by the result I am seeing right here. Al-Hilal was defeated, not by Al-Ittihad or Al-Nassr or any other top Saudi team but by an ordinary team of the other half of the table and coming few years ago from a lower division
Now Al-Ittihad profited from the situation very well and moved to the first place and ironically, Al-Nassr lost their game vs Aramco team called Al Qadsiah.. Another defeat and they will move to the 5th place .
