Sure, the match that took place last night between Al Nasr and Al Ettifaq was very fierce. Even though Al Nasr had superior possession of the ball over Al Etifaq, it could be said that Al Nasr had big difficulties in last night's match. The reason is, the attacks carried out by Ronaldo and his friends are very difficult to score. Even in the 29th minute, Al Nasr almost conceded. However, fortunately the defender from Al Nasr managed to block the ball and thwart Al ettifaq's chance.

Apart from that, what was even more unfortunate was that Talisca's goal was disallowed at the end of the first half and Talisca was even given a red card for hitting player Al ettifaq in the face. So in the second half Al Nasr lacked one of its best players. However, even until the second half, Al Nasr remained consistent in controlling the game by continuing to pressure Al Ettifaq. Then in extra time, Sadio Mane managed to take advantage of the flat pass given Yahya and resulted in the winning goal for Al Nasr.

And with the victory achieved by Al Nasr last night, Al Nasr managed to qualify for the top 8 of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup.

It's not really surprising me at this moment. in fact that if ettifaq played so garbage against al nassr. I think that the owned of ettifaq needs to sack gerrard as soon as possible as there is no improvement that is happening to the club. Ettifaq can start to think replace gerrard with mourinho. Mourinho has been offering himself to become a new coach for the saudi pro league.
The chance that has owned by ettifaq to recruit him is very big at this moment. I hope that ettifaq will sack gerrard soon. This guy was so garbage. Any club managed by him will always get lose streak.

Ettifaq shall have stopped in using him as appointment. That guy is so terrible in coaching a club. I don't even trust him anymore to handle ettifaq.
He can maximize the available resource at this moment. I hope that ettifaq will consider this as there is still a chance to recruit mourinho as a new appointment at this time.

Anyteam being managed by gerrard will become another flop. This guy is faily as a coach. He was not also winning a single EPL when he was playing for liverpool.

Apart from Neymar, Al Hilal is a strong enough club but the main reason for bringing Neymar to Al Hilal from PSG at a high price is to strengthen their club. The way Al Hilal is performing now, if Neymar was fully fit to play without being injured, Al Hilal's performance would have been even better. Knowing that Neymar is at risk of injury, the club in Saudi Arabia has comfortably completed the deal with Neymar. There are several reasons to bring Neymar to their club. First of all, if Neymar is brought to their club, the performance of their club will be much better, as well as the popularity of their club will increase and the followers of their club will increase. It will be good news for Al Hilal fans if Neymar recovers and returns to the field.

The referee's decision in the match clearly made things difficult for Al-Nassr. But fortunately Al-Nassr was still able to survive and still win the match. Mane was the hero in this match. The match was a bit heated because both teams in the end each received 1 red card.

For the Al-ittihad match, they managed to win with a good score, namely 0-3 over Al-ittihad's victory and Al-Hilal also managed to win against Al-Hazm. But Al-Nassr is the only one running full of drama. Because losing Talisca in the first half was really a big loss for Al-Nassr because Talisca is a player who always makes a big contribution in completing the attacks built by Al-Nassr. But the important thing is that Al-Nassr can win and will qualify for the next stage.

After seeing the improvement in Al-Nassr's performance I believe they have a great chance of winning the title this season and just waiting for the moment to replace Al-Hilal at the top of the standings. Previously I hoped that Al-Ittihad would be the main competitor for Al-Nassr but this season their performance has not been optimal they even dropped out of the top 4 but yeah there is still time to improve it.

Saudi Pro League title is for the leading team that can stands good chances of pressing and enduring under pressure, it's a normal thing for a team to have red card but using that terrible situation to win a game is impressive, the Knights of Najd are improving in every game for the main purpose of wining SPL title. Al Nassr have climbed to second place on SPL table after narrowly escaping a draw tie against Al Ettifaq. Facing them was one of the challenging games, but let's say they got really lucky. Sadio Mané saved the day with his incredible performance on the pitch against Al Ettifaq.

It seems that Al Nassr had quite a hard time beating Al Ettifaq in this match with a large number of goals, so the match will not last until extra time. to be honest, I didn't watch this match, but it looks like Steven Gerrard's squad plays more with a defensive system. because after all, the team they are playing against is a star-studded team.
Referring to the statistics of the match, it seems that this match was not going well. I don't know for sure, but referring to statistics, Al Ettifaq didn't put up much resistance. So I concluded that Steven Gerrard's squad only played defensively and counter-attacked if they had the chance. In the end, this match was won by Al Nassr with a narrow score from Sadio Mane's goal. 

Well, there is something interesting about the next match in this King's Cup competition. I don't know what the competition system is like, but it looks like Al Nassr will meet Al Iithad in the next round. or, there will be another draw, honestly I don't know the system of this competition. However, it is very likely that these two will meet in the next phase of the King's Cup competition between Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad. If I'm wrong, please correct. and if you win like that, this match will offer an exciting, interesting and prestigious match.

Many decisions did not favor Al Nassr, almost like there was an agenda against them, and even with the red card they still found the will to win this very crucial game necessary for qualification to the other round in the kings cup. In games where Ronaldo does not score , Sadio Mane steps up and fills up. Al Nassr supporters will be happy to have them both in their team. Ronaldo's influence is big in the club and for Saudi Football in general as we saw many players move to the league after him, and the country becoming more recognized. They also have just been confirmed as the host for the FIFA world cup in 2034. It is a big achievement for them.

Mane scored an important goal and Al Nassr managed to win the match after missing 75 minutes. Talisca committed great indiscipline by leaving his team missing at the end of the first half. There should be a punishment for this. Fortunately, their teammates helped them get past Al Nassr for another round.

Mane brings the victory for Al Nasrr in the extratime, they sweat a lot to get this victory, more than they want i think. But it was against a good team with a lot of european stars like them.

Only one game left for this 16 round in Kings cup.

After a VAR review, the goal for Al-Nassr was cancelled. The second half has started and it looks like it will be a tough game for Al-Nassr because they lost one key important player, although there are still have Ronaldo and Mane, but losing Talisca might have an impact on the sharpness of Al Nassr attack. But I hope Ronaldo or Mane can make a surprise in this match.
Meanwhile, in another match Ittihad still leads with a score of 1 against Al Feiha.

Maybe you need cup of coffee, bro.
Al Nassr lost Talisca and got a red card in the final minutes of the first half but that doesn't rule out the possibility of Al Nassr losing because Ronaldo looks very ready to carry Al Nasr to win and hopefully Al Nasr will win even though will only get narrow score.
This will really affect next match when we play against Al Khaleej.
I'm worried that I not be able to immediately catch Al Hilal points because of course Talisca will experience period suspension for several matches, while Talisca the player who relied on after Ronaldo.

As you predicted, it seems that Al-Nassr will indeed win this match. Because now the first half seems to be ending and Al-Nassr has gained a 1 goal lead. Because the current score is 1-0 with Al-Nassr's advantage.

But I personally can't underestimate Al-Ettifaq because Al-Ettifaq has quite good coaches and players. Even the captain and coach Al-Ettifaq were both former captains of the Liverpool squad at that time. So don't be surprised if Al-Ettifaq also becomes stronger than other clubs apart from clubs under PIF ownership. But indeed Al-Nassr has more high-quality players. Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo are definitely two legends who cannot be ignored. These two people were monsters in the world of European football when they were young.

Edit: I don't know what happened but the score changed back to 0-0. (Did I see wrong?) And Talisca actually got a red card and was withdrawn from the field. I've only been away for a while and I don't know what caused it but what I saw before has changed.

Saudi Arabia King's cup round 16,
Today's match is going to be held soon Al Nassr vs Al Ettifaq and in this match I think Al Nassr will win comfortably. Al Nassr is a strong team this season so I think Al Ettifaq will not be able to match them. Moreover, Al Nassr has the best European stars in the club who can attack brilliantly, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. If these two European League players are on the field, it will be very difficult for the opposition to score because they are great players and world famous stars. And today's match of course, I think Al Nasser has a chance to win 3-1, besides, they are the best team in the current season. And if you follow the bad odds today, it means that most people bet in favor of Al Nasser, and if you see this difference of bets, it means that Al Ettifaq will lose with Al Nassr today.

There is a lot to think about when it comes to the upcoming King Cup match. The defending champions, Al Feiha, are in bad shape when you look at their recent past with Al Ittihad. Its helpful to look at how someone did in the past. In their last five games, Al Feiha's record has been bad, losing all four times. This is a tough task, especially since Karim Benzema is now playing for Al Ittihad and hasnt quite reached his full potential since moving there. Do you remember when he played for Real Madrid? Many people think that style will come back. Even though Al Ittihad's odds of 1.63 might be appealing, would it be smart to put all your faith in them after how inconsistent they have been this season?

I think that Erling Haaland deserve to have that trophy since he is the best player in Europe, best scorer and won 3 trophies in one season. Nevertheless, Messi led his team to perform very well in MLS, led Argentina to win CONMEBOL and World Cup so these were the reasons why he overtake Haaland. It might be also his last chance to get it before retiring at the opposite of Haaland.
For Cristiano Ronaldo, he lacks international trophies to compete Messi. His role in Saudi Pro League isn't enough for that prize.

If you look at the quality of the players and also the head to head record of the two teams, Al Hilal is indeed superior to Al Fateh. The reason is, the last 5 meetings between the two teams which took place from 2021 to 2023 were dominated by Al Hilal with 3 wins and Al Fateh with 2 wins. So even though the head to head difference is small, Al Hilal is indeed superior to Al Fateh. Even though Neymar is currently injured and cannot play with Al Hilal, Al Hilal is able to prove that even without Neymar, Al Hilal can still win in every match. For example, against Al Ahli, Al Hilal still managed to win the match with a score of 3-1. Therefore, even though Neymar was injured, the Al Hilal team's performance was still good and impressive.

Apart from that, the Al Fateh team's game is also worth watching out for. Because currently, if you look at the last matches played by Al Fateh, they are really good and neat. If you look at the standings too, Al Fateh is in a pretty good ranking. The reason is that currently Al Fateh is in 4th place. Therefore, although Al Hilal is currently superior to Al Fateh in all aspects. However, in predicting the victory that Al Hilal can achieve against Al Fateh, I am also sure that the scores between the two teams will not be much different.

So in this gambling bet (Al Hilal vs Al Fateh), I will also play it safe by choosing Al Hilal only.

In reality, in cyberspace, many people even feel that Cristiano Ronaldi deserves to be nominated for the Ballon D'Or. Because currently even at EUFA EURO we can see the name Cristiano Ronaldo as the 2nd top scorer at the moment. So I wonder why Cristiano Ronaldo, whose quality is so clear, is even better than other younger players, but I didn't hear his name even mentioned there. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo didn't win the Ballon D'Or, I'm sure most of us football fans admit that Cristiano Ronaldo is the one who deserves it. I'm not saying Messi is bad. But I see that Cristiano Ronaldo can surpass his age, he is no longer young but can still appear extraordinary.

But despite all that. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best players.

And I'm happy to see Cristiano Ronaldo playing at Al-Nassr. Because Cristiano Ronaldo's popularity is now increasing thanks to him joining the Arab League. And the quality of the game has also improved again.

Do you wonder why Lionel Messi is still the winner of the Balon de'or? me too. Maybe he is win the world cup but i think is not enaugh.  Is Messi better this year than Ronaldo, Haaland, Lewandowski, Mbaape or Kane or others? I don't think so, in fact I see Messi's contribution worse than the name I mentioned above and Ronaldo should be more deserving if he sees his ability and role in the team. But actually I prefer Haaland to get that if you look at his performance. Ronaldo at An Nassr does not look as good as it currently does, and there should no longer be Messi's name in the candidates. Maybe you must watching the videos on tiktok (Speed reaction) https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSNS4DtsW/
 
Ronaldo with An Nassr is currently performing very well. This is partly due to the arrival of Mane, who has left him with supporters to perform as a finisher. He always has a role in the results either as a passer (assist) or a goal scorer.

The quality of the players of these two teams is clearly very different and I also agree with you that Al-Ittihad will still be the winners. Maybe Al-Ittihad has experienced a decline in performance so far but as the defending champions of the Saudi League, they have to prove their quality with the recruitment of star players they have brought in since the start of the season.

The King Cup competition is not much different because they will still be playing against Al-Feiha which is a team from the Saudi league too and we already know quite clearly who is far superior. Karim Benzema has had quite a difficult time so far and I hope he can score another winning goal for Al-Ittihad and that will also prove that he is not finished at this age.
