Topic: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 - page 49. (Read 118843 times)

The style of play in the Saudi Arabian league is not as competitive as Europe so it will be much easier for Pioli to improve the performance of his players to be better. Need to maximize some of the existing players so that he can give something much better to the team. Pioli is also experienced as a coach and I am optimistic that he can bring Al Nassr to become one of the title contenders and some of the players he has are also quite experienced.

There is still a lot of time to prepare for the match and facing Al Hilal is indeed not an easy matter because the rivalry between the two is quite big. But if Pioli can give something different then I am sure he can get three points in the match.

That was a narrow win and not a confident win, the both goals from Al Nassr was scored in extra time. The first goal came in the extra time for the first half and the second goal came in the extra time of the second half but it is good that the coach tried playing without Ronaldo and gave him a rest as he needs it. Ronaldo can not be playing every match or he won't be able to perform in all the matches as he's no longer a young player. Any coach that knows how to manage old players will get the best out of them and it looks like that's what is going to be happening as Ronaldo gets rested more in games that isn't the league games to regain his strength and score in league games.

Actually Al Nassr is a team that is rich enough to bring in quality players and in fact they also have quality players in their current squad, but overall the game still has many shortcomings that they have so this slightly hampers their development in pursuing achievements in the Saudi Pro League or in other competitions. What is in the spotlight is the performance of their defense line, yes they still have many weaknesses in that position.
somehow they seem to be late to fix all that, even though I think they are very aware that they still have some weaknesses in the defense line. There must be a definite step that they take, either from signing new players or rotating players in the current squad.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr only have difference of 4 points and it is still very possible for Al Nassr to catch up to match and surpass Al Hilal in the future, but if in the future Al Hilal is undefeated and the worst result with several draws to share points then that is still success because Al Nassr will not be able to catch up.
But the chance for Al Hilal not to lose also has fairly small percentage and I sure there must be some unexpected results where Al Hilal loses because the increase and decrease in the performance of each team cannot be really predicted with certainty.
What is clear is that I want to see Al Nassr be able to achieve more wins and minimize the occurrence of defeats, they must be able to save points from each match even if it is only 1 point because of draw, that way Al Nassr will never be left behind by large point difference.
In tomorrow match I sure Al Nassr will still be able to win against Al Wehda by utilizing all the advantages they have.

Pioli might have done well for Al Nassr but I think the result is still below expectations because they have the quality of players needed to win the KSA league but they always fail at doing that. For several matches, they have failed to win Al Hilal and still lacking in consistency as well. The season might be young but judging from last season, the patter and sequence of play still persist. I still do not believe they will beat Al Hilal when they meet because I am not seeing anything special that they are playing.

Correct. It is too early to conclude that Pioli succeeds to improve Al Nassr. But it is a good sign that Pioli can lead Al Nassr properly. Winning in 2 early matches is always crucial, it can boost the spirit and motivation of all players. I'm very sure Al Nassr players become more optimistic to play, they look more comfortable with Pioli's strategy.

If Pioli can win against Al Hilal, I no doubt that Al Nassr will return to the race of the champion. Now, they in the 5th place, the point gap with Al Hilal is quite large. It is difficult to overtake Al Hilal if Al Nassr fails to get full points again. But if Al Hilal can't get the points, it is the chance to shorten the point gap.

The match will be held in Al Nassr home. Al Nassr must win the match for the prestige and for the chance of winning the trophy. A draw should be the target because it doesn't bring any good impact for Al Nassr. In this time, it is a must to beat Al Hilal if Al Nassr still has a dream to win SPL trophy.

I think, the match against Al Ettifaq before is also still one of the difficult matches, and Pioli managed to make Al Nassr win and also with a big score in his first match. Because anyway, Al Ettifaq at the beginning of this season also had good results, and Al Ettifaq also has a coach and players who cannot be underestimated, so I think Pioli has had a good start. But indeed, I also agree about the match against Al Hilal is a difficult match,  because so far Al Nassr may always fail when playing against Al Hilal in the Ronaldo era. But with that said, at least there is still enough time for Pioli to prepare Al Nassr to be better and stronger to face Al Hilal later, of course, it must have a target of winning against Al Hilal to make Al Nassr have a good chance of winning the trophy.

I think Al-Nassr already has quite a lot of high quality players. And maybe the problem lies with their previous coach, Luis Castro, who didn't really get along with Al-Nassr because Castro didn't seem able to utilize the depth of Al-Nassr's squad well enough.

Now Al-Nassr is starting to look better after a change of coach occurred there. The former AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, has successfully made his debut with Al-Nassr very well. So far Al-Nassr have had consecutive wins after Pioli came to this club. So I started to see that the problems experienced by Al-Nassr might have found the best solution, namely by bringing in a coach who was more suited to the depth of the Al-Nassr squad. And actually I never expected to see a great coach like Pioli at Al-Nassr. And that is good news for those of us who also follow the SPL.

At least now we can hope that the presence of Stefano Pioli as the new coach at Al-Nassr can make Al-Nassr a more solid team than before. I believe Stefano Pioli is a great coach who can utilize the players Al-Nassr has who are actually no less qualified than Al-Hilal. Now it just remains how the coach utilizes the depth of the squad. And with a debut with good results, I think Stefano Pioli will be able to continue these good results throughout this season.

Tomorrow Al-Nassr will face Al Wahda and hopefully it will be another victory for Al-Nassr.

I dont know if Al Nassr needs more player, why? They have super players and they only need to start to play better as a team, nothing more and nothing less. You can buy more players and that cant garantize so much.

Ronaldo that's what I said months ago when Ronaldo was the reason for some players to join this team. Ronaldo is definitely more than just a player and he is even making the team sometimes to hire the other players and I think he is the reason for Al Nassr started working with Pioli. Maybe Ronaldo will even stay in Al Nassr after he got retires as a player and ever we see some rumors about Ronaldo investing in Al Nassr.

Pioli who this season replaced the role of Luis Castro as a coach so far is still able to show quite good performance, to be honest, although maybe two matches are still too early for us to praise Pioli performance but we cannot deny that his ability to coaching is quite good so far, Milan is able to continue to be in the top of Serie A thanks to his expertise in coaching and also applying game strategies, so that there is indeed great hope for us to see Al Nassr has become even better under Pioli coaching this season, what has happened with Al Nassr so far to requires Pioli to work hard to improve Al Nassr performance in league.
I think  the match against Al Hillal in my opinion will not prove anything if indeed Pioli is able to bring victory in every match they play, but indeed defeating Al Hillal will at least give a plus to Pioli job performance later in Al Nassr.

I have seen this first player in the history of football who plays for his team to win and therefore tries to perform better in every match.  That is why he is called the king of football and playing like him is not for everyone.  It gives 120 percent for its happiness.  Yes, I am very surprised that a player like Rolando who is everything to the team will not be entitled to the team trophy.  There is no consensus that they will be out of reach for the trophy if they improve themselves from now on.  Even if he does not  make it, those who like him will be disappoint.  This is because of their winning matches and their strength. If not for this Al Hilal is a useless team and if it was, Al Nasr would have been in their place at that time and would have been on their way to the trophy.

We are having positive changes in Al Nassr after arrival of the Stefano Pioli who is well experienced and can bring good development in this team which is looking for trophies and having nothing against the best club in Saudi Pro League Al Hilal. 2 wins from their last 2 games mean things are on track, and they are going to have good improvement which will surely create problems for the other competitors in this league Al Ittihad is also having improvement with this season is going to be more competitive.

Al Hilal is having best squad which is giving them good results in all competitions with in this season they are having 7 games and all won without any big problem is clearly giving all view about their future and mission for having another good season and keep things at the top level for their opponents but now Stefano Pioli factor is also going to have good impact on title race.

At least these 2 matches with wins give a little spirit and confidence to the players after having a new coach. Not too sure if Pioli needs a quick time to bring Al Nassr to a higher level but seeing his contribution makes me a little sure that Pioli is able to provide improvements. The match will start in the coming month and we can still see how much improvement the coach has given. Don't expect too much when playing against Al Hilal or just a draw is enough to give good results for Al Nassr.

Al-hilal always performs well and is impressive because he has strong players and it is very difficult to find Al-hilal's weaknesses. Last season Al-hilal became champions and it looks like this season too Al-hilal will definitely try as hard as possible to become champions. But of course we won't know what happens this season because there could be a team that causes Al-Hilal to lose and ultimately not become champions.

To be honest, I personally doubt that Ittihad and Al-Nassr will be able to stop Al-Hilal from becoming champions. Of course we can see that in Ittihad's last match against Al-hilal, of course Ittihad still couldn't beat Al-hilal, so of course Ittihad definitely has great potential won't be an obstacle for Al-hilal to win the trophy.

but if Al-nassr now has a new coach (Stefano Pioli) of course this will be a mystery because so far Pioli has managed to win matches with Al-nassr and of course it will be different from the era when Al-nassr was coached by Luis Castro. So I think Jorge Jesus needs to be careful because Al-Nassr could be a threat to Al-Hilal. but I personally predict that Al-hilal will be difficult for any team to beat, but what is clear is that Al-nassr will definitely be a mystery and of course there could be the potential for Al-nassr's strength to increase which will ultimately be dangerous for Al-hilal.

I think the AL Nassr need a coach who is doing well but that can't still confuse me that AL Nassr is doing fine and they are ready to defeat AL Hilal, AL Nassr needs more players, AL Nassr's president should know that the problem of the team is not the coach, the problem of the team is from the player's because players are the one that is allowing the opponents to pass through them and score goals, AL Nassr need to sign player's if not AL Hilal will still be their problem in every see, AL Hilal never lose any match to any team season and AL Nassr don't care about that and find a way to make their team performance look good.

The former coach is not having a problem with AL Nassr because the man has a good career as a coach and I believe if it was his fault many would have complained about it, AL Nassr just played two games under the coach we couldn't predict their performance now, so we have to wait and see what will at the end of the season because I'm still not sure that AL Nassr can defeat AL Hilal.

Two matches have not proven anything because there are still many other crucial matches that Pioli needs to prove, but so far the two matches that have taken place at least he has given his best for the team. The match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal will be proof of how far Pioli is able to make changes in his team and victory will be something that is expected as a step to build a more solid team.

It will be quite an emotional match for both teams and very important because it is a matter of prestige. I think he needs to win the match if he wants to give something better to the team, especially for the title issue which is a priority for all teams.

We should not underestimate Pioli's ability to organize strategy and also in terms of player rotation at the club he coaches. Because Pioli is an experienced and very professional coach, so it is not surprising that Pioli, for example can still lead Al Nasr to victory even without Ronaldo. Because in essence, even though Ronaldo doesn't play with Al Nasr, Al Nasr still has Sadio Mane and Talisca in their squad. So with the strategy created by Pioli, the Al Nasr players can clearly show their best performance even without Ronaldo. Maybe with Pioli in the Al Nasr coaching chair, I think Al Nasr can rise from its current downturn. Because I see that in Pioli's hands, Al Nasr seems to be able to bring out more potential from the players that Al Nasr currently has. So with this Al Nasr has the potential to compete with Al Hilal this season. Although currently Al Hilal has soared far in the Saudi Arabian League standings. However, this does not rule out the possibility, for example, that Al Hilal could lose or draw the match they are playing. Because if, for example, Al Hilal continues to record a winning record like last season, I think Al Nasr will still have difficulty becoming champions of the Saudi Arabian League this season. Therefore, Al Nasr now only needs to continue winning so that their points tally is not too far from Al Hilal and hopes that Al Hilal will suffer at least 1 defeat this season.

I also like the strategy used by Pioli and indeed there are times when a team should not rely too much on Cristiano Ronaldo because of course if Ronaldo is not there it will definitely make Al-nassr remain strong and indeed Pioli's reasons are very reasonable in making that strategy. and indeed it has been proven that now Al-nassr's performance is starting to improve and Al-nassr's victory against Al-hazm in the Saudi Arabian king's cup without Cristiano Ronaldo playing is of course very good because that way I also see the players becoming more confident, I think the performance of Al's players -nassr is now very good and starting to make progress.

At first I also thought that Al-Nassr would not be good without Ronaldo, but now Stefano Pioli has proven that Al-Nassr has strong strength even without that star player (Cristiano Ronaldo). So of course when Cristiano Ronaldo is played, Al-Nassr's strength will definitely increase. Now the presence of Stefano Pioli has made Al-Nassr progress and of course this is the start of the season and we'll see whether Pioli will be able to make the dreams of Al-Nassr fans come true or not.

Now Al-Nassr has pocketed 8 points and of course there is still plenty of time to be able to move up the rankings and overtake other teams whose standings are higher than Al-Nassr. Yes, we'll see what happens and of course now Al-Nassr must continue to consistently win if they want to reach 1st place and of course Al-Nassr must see Al-Hilal lose. because if Al-hilal does not lose then of course it will be difficult for Al-nassr to shift Al-hilal's position.
