Al Nassr already has a pretty perfect squad this season. Mane and Ronaldo are very compact on the front line which means ronaldo has quite suitable partner on the front line. However, in the previous match, when Al nassr played against Al Abha, they were unable to maximize their chances of getting full points. Even though Al nassr was able to score a quick goal in that match where in the 3rd minute the goal was scored by Otavinho and in the 28th minute the goal was scored by Talisca. but unfortunately they were too engrossed in attacking so that when there was a counterattack they were unable to thwart it.

Their winning streak was stopped by the Abha team. even though in that match, If Al nassr could get 3 points, they would probably sit in second place in the standings. But even so, I'm sure ronaldo and Sadio mane will be able to bring Al nassr to the top of the standings in the coming weeks. They have big ambitions to become champions this season so other teams must be wary of the pressure exerted by Al nassr on the standings.

I think winning the title is not the only thing Al Nassr wasn't to get with Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, they want to use this palyer to hire more top players from famous European teams and that's why Saudi Arabia is trying to keep Cristiano Ronaldo in this country. After Cristiano Ronaldo joined this league there were many players who followed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr missed good opportunity in the previous season. This one is very hard with many top teams coming to Saudi Pro League and annoying them seriously. Al-Hilal didn't lose any game. Al-Taawoun are resisting well. Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli are playing good too.
I believe Cristiano Ronaldo might leave the club once he wants to retire or when there is no intention to renew the contract.

I think that he might consider this to give a good ending for his career unless in case of injury or thinking of another plan for his career like coaching.

Indeed. As long as Ronaldo doesn't win SPL title with Al Nassr, I think he will never to consider leaving Al Nassr. Besides his ambition, Ronaldo needs to prove that Al Nassr didn't choose the wrong player and Al Nassr worth to pay him with huge money. Ronaldo actually has a big responsibility to Al Nassr, they expect Ronaldo can motivate all Al Nassr player to win prestige titles like SPL title. Last season, he failed although they have a chance to win it. They couldn't win in some crucial matches, so they failed to secure the first place. We expect Ronaldo will make it real in this season, sadly Al Nassr performed badly in the early season. Now, they seem improving their performance, they are in the right way of title race although they are still in the 3rd place.

Well, Sporting Lisbon will be the right place for him to end his career as a professional footballer. I also believe that Ronaldo will consider to return to Sporting Lisbon when his contract expires with Al Nassr.

Well i believe they've improved and it's even the  new signings they got this summer that's made them more better, the arrival of Mane have been very beneficial to Ronaldo cause they've got to understand themselves and it’s producing good results for Al-Nassr, atleast they've won a trophy this season, even beat Al-Hilal to win it, i think Al-Nassr are on the right track they're still very strong title contenders this season.

 Al-Nassr coach might have not won any  major trophy but he's won the Arab club  championship cup this season and that's a boost for him and his team to do better and try to win the Saudi league it might not be very easy due to Al-Hilal and Al-Taawon's performance, well there's still hope for them cause they're currently at the third place and just 4 poins behind the league leaders the gap is not even very wide.

If Al-Taawoun managed to take over the standings, it means that 5 top teams were humiliated, how could the top teams of Saudi League who had several top European players were unable to compete with Al-Taawoun we can call it a miracle. Previously I did not know the Al-Taawoun team but now we all know and pay attention to them and what makes me most curious is that none of their players are on the top scorer list I can only see álvaro medrán on the top assist list, the question is how they do it?

In my opinion, even with many signings that the team that Ronaldo plays for has made, they are still not being a consistent team and this only gets worse because the other teams have also made big signings and when that happens there is a situation in which the teams have the same quality in terms of squad, and what will decide which team will win will be the team with the best coach, and in that part and where Ronaldo's team is weak, they don't have a great coach who has been victorious in Europe, for example, if we look at what al - nassr's coach has already achieved, we will see that he has not coached any major team in Europe

Therefore, it will be very difficult for him to win the Saudi league, the problem with the managers of these clubs is that they think that because the league is less competitive, they can hire any coach and just hire good players who will win many things, but they are wrong. In this analysis, a league becomes small because it has average and low quality players, but the moment many teams sign many high quality players, then the league becomes more competitive and requires the coaches of these teams in that league to be great coaches. also

That's why in my opinion if Ronaldo doesn't win the league this season then he will be frustrated and next season he will play to just fulfill the schedule and finish his contract to retire, I think Ronaldo should pursue a career as a coach, the same happens with messi, if messi were a coach he would do very well. They have leadership skills on the field, and if they took a coaching course they could also have good results

Well some of the players who will be in their end of the career and know that they will not be having chances with the national team so they may opt also to get that Saudi national passport and take part in World Cup as usually Saudi Arabia qualifies for such events and these players old in age would love to be playing in such competition despite playing for another country.

We have to wait and see how these events will unfold but I think we had Romario from Brazil playing football up to near 50 years old so these players that come to Saudi Arabia to end their career may as well accept such offer.

Well, I think that Al-Nassr is a team that basically has a lot to give to CR7, it was the team that sheltered him and in fact CR7 has responded well, I think that if I was able to sign whatever years with the team, because he is like an icon, thanks to him Saudi football has reached a high level, in fact I think all the sheikhs in the world know that things are like that, there is something that they have always considered that when CR7 makes a difference they can allocate much more money for him Although things in championships sometimes go well or badly, for me CR7 has had a very good success rate, and this is something that is noticeable every time a game is played, I can see that his results are impressive, he always leaves or scores the winning goal, he has a lot of determination, I think that all the Saudis know when CR7 plays it is because there is going to be a great exhibition of good football and genius, on a personal level it seems to me that CR7 has He has done a great job, he is the captain of his country with the national team, they have a good streak, I think that CR7 in the next World Cup will make a difference, something that Neymar is also doing, because BNye is a player who is in Al-Hilal and it is being very well accepted by everyone, this is great what they can do.

Now, when it comes to how to make the Saudi league the best in the world, I don't know, but they are on a very good path, at least with UEFA they don't want to accept that they play with them, which I don't think, this It should be free, plus Saudi football is not like before, these people have a high level.

Something off topic, I don't know if you saw the news, but CR7 fulfilled the dream of a girl, or woman who stole some paintings from her, they have a condition and CR7 gave her a hug, and apparently this didn't go very well seen in Iran, well he said that the next time he enters the country he has to have a punishment of 99 lashes, because that is considered adultery, impressive things about these cultures.

The paradigm is already changing and it is so obvious to everyone and including the Europeans. Before now the Europeans uses the world best players to control football just like what they did with Ronaldo and Messi in Laliga for so many seasons. If Saudi Arabia has learnt how to buy important players despite their age, they are one step closer to thin down the competition line.

The successful takeover of Newcastle United and that of Manchester United about to happen is another signal. The main tool to control this football industry is money and the Saudi Arabians are really to invest even more funds to achieve their desire. Time will tell how fast they will be to achieve this.

Al-Ittihad and Al-Taawoun doesn't have much difference in the points. Odds were in support of Al-Ittihad, and Al-Taawoun could will surely give the high competence. Even in the previous encounter the odds were into Al-Ittihad and Al-Taawoun won the match. Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr were the much discussed teams, but silently Al-Taawoun is moving towards the top. If Al-Taawoun win the upcoming match, then Al-Taawoun reaches the first position on the points table.

Actually Al-Taawoun have better position standing than Al-Ittihad, with home match looks more interested odd with @4.9 for Al-Taawoun than Al-Ittihad with @1,66. In 9 matches, Al-Taawoun loss one match than Al-Ittihad have loss two matches in Saudi Pro League and indeed the home team not have many star player I think seems favorite for winning the match than Al-Ittihad. On position standings stable, Al-Taawoun have three points gap with Al-Ittihad its reason why favorable for winning match. Opportunity for Al-Taawoun back to top position from Al-Hilal if can win against Al-Ittihad on next match, but their position will drop few strip if loss on next match from Al-Ittihad will up to 2nd position placed.

It seems that what is interesting is not the result of their last match or meeting. Because I think the interesting factor at this moment is the quality of the squad of players that the Al Taawon squad has, at least it's not a luxury squad. But what is happening at this moment is about Al Taawon who managed in the second place in the Saudi Pro League standings at this time. Because team like Al Ittihad and several teams with luxurious squads should be able to dominate the top zone in the standings. But the facts are not as good as imagined, because even a team like Al Taawon has managed to compete well in the top zone of the Saudi Pro league standings so far this season.

In how much time we are gonna start to see the royal family starting to ask to some players to nationalize into Saudi Arabia and also, to start to ask to no stop the league when is a FIFA round?

You know they only want to live they lives as they want.

Even though this match is a home match for Al-Taawoun, it's true that the bookies still favor Al-Ittihad. Currently the odds on the 1X2 bet on Rollbit are:


What's unique about this match is that even though the bookies are favorites with Al-Ittihad, in the last meeting between the two teams, Al-Ittihad lost with a score of Al-Taawoun 2 - 1 Al-Ittihad. I think the current odds might trap bettors, for me, it's better to avoid this match than to take a high risk.

I think the Arab world is giving more attention to Football.

I am seeing a take over of Football interests from Europe as concerns are now heightened from the Saudis. More resources being pumped into the game and even offers rolling in to buy Manchester United with a whooping sum of money. This only tells me one thing, the game of soccer is about to change hands

As I understand it, Ronaldo said this in the context of the fact that he is not young and theoretically if his health (in itself or injury) does not allow him to play further, then he may finish. But until then, he plays and is happy that he can do it. Given that he continues to set ambitious goals for himself (playing at Euro 2024 and reaching the 900 goal mark), he has the desire and ambition to continue as long as he can.

Even someone who doesn't like sports can find out who Ronaldo is and what club he is currently at.
Almost the whole world knows how Ronaldo always defends with the talent he has currently making a good contribution in every match and it is not surprising that the Saudi pro league quickly increased its audience after Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nasr and until I saw someone I know who usually watches football European club football but at that time he watched the club's match in the SPL.
I hereby declare that the Saudi Arabian club has had big changes at this time and it is very fitting that Ronaldo is highly rewarded with very large salary at Al Nasr and he will also continue to try to score in the upcoming matches.

If I try to examine it based only on data and statistics. because, there is not much information that I can dig deeper into. At the start of the first season, Nuno Santo was quite confident in his team when playing match after match, he tended to apply a 4-2-3-1 pattern. However, recently, especially since Benzema was absent for several weeks when Al Ittihad played their matches. Nuno Santo tends to change his patterns and systems several times. However, in some matches, he tends to use a 3-5-2 pattern, more often 4-4-2. either because several players were injured, including Benzema, or there was a decline in performance in last season's trophy-winning squad.
In the match against Al-Ahli, Al Ittihad again used a 4-4-2 pattern. even though, in that match Benzema played again. There were many opportunities in that match, but Nuno Santo's team was unable to maximize them and convert them into goals. Plus, their defense line was a little slack which resulted in their carelessness allowing Kassie to stand freely and take advantage of his chance to score a goal. As a result, Al Ittihad lost for the second time in the 9 matches they played.

In the next few days, Al Ittihad will face an away match against Al Taawon. Even though Al Taawon is in 2nd place in the Saudi Pro League standings, they are theoretically not an equal opponent considering that Al Ittihad has several former top European players. However, Al Taawon is also filled with foreign players for their front line. Maybe that's why, now this team is quite strong when playing match after match. But no matter what, Al Ittihad is much stronger, as we can see from the betting odds. the home team with @4.70, while Al Ittihad with @1.63. So, now back to how Nuno Santo prepared his team to face this meeting. If Nuno Santo returns to his initial pattern and system, not 4-4-2 or 3-5-2, I'm sure Al Ittihad will win this match.

You guys must also remember how ronaldo was also trying to ask nassr to extend his contract. That proves how loyal ronaldo to the nassr. I was doubting him when he was coming to the nassr but it seemed to me that if ronaldo really likes to play in the saudi pro league to finish his career. Ronaldo is showing his commitment to the club. I do really support al nassr to extend ronaldo's contract. Ronaldo is very useful for the club as a captain.
he was also able helping the club to win his first trophy with al nassr. Nassr needs to reconsider in extending his contract. Ronaldo is able to attract more players to come massively.
He is having a very good mentality to help his teammates to improve their gamplay. Ronaldo needs to stay even longer in the al nassr and i do support this.
