Maybe the motivation he lacks is trying to reach 1000 goals as a professional player, from what I've seen he needs about 150 goals to reach that impressive mark in official games, maybe he can do it if he plays for another 2 or 3 years, which would take his career as a professional player until he's 42, I think it's totally possible, seeing as Zé Roberto (ex-Bayern and Brazilian National Team) played until that age and continued playing very well until he ended his career.

Takefusa Kubo is just 23 years old with he is very skilled and good player who is having good future in La Liga after having five years with top teams with his game and performance most chances he will be done good at coming years because he is having good chance of staying into playing eleven for the Real Sociedad.

In last few years, while he was under contract with Real Madrid but having spells on loan for few other clubs he is doing good job and money is never been problem for this player just because of this he already refused this huge offer from the Saudi League and preferring to stay in Spain because he is feeling he can be done better for his future during his stay here and having his contribution for the Real Sociedad.

Usually young players with having good ambitions love to stay in Europe because they feel they can learn too many things instead of having huge salary and playing conditions which are surely not suitable for them and their future even we all now things are taking good changes here at the Saudi League but still it's going to take time for having quality young players.

With Al Nassr, Ronaldo can laugh freely with his teammates again, very different from when he was at Manchester United, it seemed like he was very depressed when he was there. There were many internal problems faced, including his problems with the coach. I can understand his feelings right now, because anyone would be surprised when returning to the club while the situation was very different when he left Manchester United to go to Real Madrid at that time.

I also saw that at Al Nassr he was more appreciated and respected compared to his former club which was the club that made his name big. However, I am sure he still respects Manchester United, but for some reason he can no longer have a harmonious relationship. I saw that only Ferguson was very happy and appreciated him when he was at Manchester United.

Takefusa Kubo is hard work player because i still remember when he didn't gets any place on Real Madrid but he didn't give up although he was loaned to different teams but Takefusa Kubo has proven to the people that he can being an good player and his important step is started when Takefusa Kubo accept the offers from Sociedad because at this team people know him and he has build his reputation with very hard in Laliga and i don't think he will ruin it by moved to other clubs instead of European Club

40 million salary for year indeed this is very tempting offer but recently Takefusa Kubo has been give his statement that he was refuse that offer because Takefusa Kubo still want to continue his career in Europa and if he can playing consistent with Sociedad i think he have good chances to playing at big clubs someday and this is more good rather than moved to Saudi pro league

Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo recently revealed that there was an offer from the Saudi league team but Takefuso Kubo stated that he was not interested in the offer. He also spoke further about other possibilities if one day he could come here. He feels that only money can attract him at this time and that is contrary to his desire to continue playing in the big league.

I think Takefusa Kubo still has the brakes that can make him not be reckless in determining his career because if all he is after is money then he will not have much experience on a bigger stage. Winning a prestigious trophy is certainly also on his list of achievements and considering that his journey is still far away then he has to think about what is currently available to continue to go further.

Well, maybe Takefusa Kubo can be an example for other young players not to be tempted by big money and prioritize their careers while the opportunity is still open.

What do you think about Takefusa Kubo's views? Is this a common thought? remembering some time ago Moussa Diaby also preferred to join Al-Ittihad even though he was still young.

We can see that Al Nassr had some pretty bad preseason games, even overall they are not so popular or not so big team and this is what makes most fans feel disappointed.
I agree with you that Al Nassr should have been like some other Saudi teams who had preseason games against big European team, it can increase the experience and confidence for Al Nassr to prove that they are really ready in the SPL competition next season.
But everything has happened and nothing can be changed, basically during this preseason Al Nassr did not perform so well and they also got humiliating defeat.
If next season they only perform like this then it is certain that Al Nassr will have difficulty in competing for the championship title.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a star player and his performance is unquestionable as a football player wherever he goes he can always give his best for his club, he even seems to not feel the difficult times or decline in performance even though his age is getting older, I think he will retire because of age, not because of his performance because I think he will still be like this.

One thing I'm waiting for until now is Ronaldo can conquer the Saudi League like he did in the Europa League, by winning prestigious titles to complete his trophy collection, then he will be recorded in the history of Arab and European football.

Neymar is in Al Hilal team, dude. But he didn't play because he got injury for a long time.
Sure, every team must work hard to perform with their best. If Al Hilal could win the trophy last season, it is because they have quality players and can play consistently in the whole season. I think it is the point. 

Ronaldo is an ambitious player, he will never stop to make harder efforts. He knows he is a key player for Al Nassr, so he will always to make the best effort. Although he is already 39 years old, Ronaldo has no problem to play with his good performance. His stats last season proves that he still can maintain good performance. However, he can't do it alone, it is impossible to win the trophy if Al Nassr only relies on Ronaldo's performance.

Ronaldo gets full support from the depth of the squad built by Al Nassr, which at first glance looks like every player will prioritize Ronaldo to score goals. In my opinion, this is very reasonable, and in accordance with the purpose of the Saudi Pro League recruiting him from Manchester United. The Saudi Pro League popularity has increased since Ronaldo landed, whatever the Portuguese national team captain does will be trending, especially if Ronaldo continues to score goals every week. It must be admitted that not many players are able to survive at a level like him, it is natural that Ronaldo is considered one of the best of all time. Meanwhile, the age factor will continue to make Ronaldo physical condition decline, maybe next season his productivity will decrease, and that is understandable. The point is that Ronaldo is the spirit of Al Nassr, and also a magnet that attracts a number of European players.

Yes, you are right. Every game is different and every day is different and every team has  good and bad day and every player have to face good and bad days either he is good player or a bad player. Inter Milan team is good but in last match their day was not in favour of them and they could not do any single goal in this match. I appreciate to Al-Ittihad Club after losing two matches from which they lose match one sided. But they improve their performance and I saw one good thing in Al-Ittihad Club, that is defense. After doing one goal, they always try to stop the goal at any cost. They didn't attack with intense but they set defensive field and that's why they are winners of this match.

Cristiano is an active player that doesn't give up and always available to deliver his team. In desperate moments, Ronaldo have turn up for this club and have become a key player for Al Nassr. They can completely not do without the player and this is recognizable to be the entire key moments for the Portugal international. Ronaldo at 39, still very competitive and even more valuable than other tender players, Ronaldo stats for his club surpass other players in the early 20s and 30s. He's entirely a different breed from the rest.

As a soccer fan we have to understand these pre-season games usually having no impact on clubs performance for the season but still many are feeling Al Nassr performance is going to be had no impact but coming season is going to be challenging for them and opponents because we are having some improvement in defense, and they are surely going to have positive things in coming season.

Most chances we will have all four cubs under PIF ownership going to have strong hold at the top because they are having enough sources for the staying at the op but as we are having some positive changes in few clubs things can go challenging which will surely increase the competition and fans will be able to have good soccer with Saudi League is already having good look in last season organizers are looking for more improvement because they are having good targets for this league and its future.

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo age of 39,  last season scored a whooping 44 goals for his club Al Nassr last season which included 33 league goals 31 league matches but following his goalless outing with the Portugal national team in the just concluded European Championship and the fact that he was showing signs of a man who's been caught up with age in the games he played this summer for his national team, I'm worried if the Al Nassr captain will be able to deliver another impressive performance for his club in the new season that'll kick off in 11 days from now. Do you think he'll do well this coming season or not?

My guess in the coming season is not only Al Hilal who is able to block Al Nassr's progress, several other teams who are competitors in the LPS are trying to deepen their team squads. Al Ittihad has started to move to bring in several newcomers, Moussa Diaby is one of them. Maybe there will be several newcomers that Al Ittihad will recruit, either for the defense line or several players for various positions. There are other teams who are also starting to move to increase their strength in this summer's transfer window, Al-Ahli is reportedly eyeing several European League players. Clearly this effort is made to deepen the team to be more competitive, they will work hard to compete with other top teams in the new season. There is also a promotion team that has brought in several well-known players, Al Qadisiyah seems to be planning to start right away in order to provide competition for the Saudi Pro League. As for Al Nassr, they have brought in Bento, a goalkeeper from Brazil. While Seko Fotana, he has returned from being loaned to Al Ettifaq. thus, Al Nassr has fulfilled their foreign player quota. So, I doubt they will bring in other players outside Saudi. unless, some of their foreign players leave or are loaned. Likewise with Al Hilal, they still have a quota to bring in European players. well, interesting isn't it, at least the competition next season is quite competitive.

When it about Al-Nassr not making many player purchases, the reality is that Al-Hilal is also the same as Al-Nassr who are not active in the transfer market this time. After all, the fact that is very active in bringing in players in this transfer market is Al-Ittihad when comparing between the three teams. Thus, then I think it is not a big problem if they are not too active in this transfer market because perhaps, they are still confident in the squad they have at this time with Ronaldo who is still very ready to compete.

Also about Al-Hilal, to be honest I personally really look forward to Neymar to play actively next season, unlike last season who only tried to recover from his long injury. But indeed, the hope for Ronaldo fans is to get a trophy, because so far Ronaldo has still failed to make Al-Nassr get a trophy in this Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr is having a quieter transfer period. They sent Ospina off the team and brought in Bento. Bento is a young Brazilian goalkeeper. They saw great potential in him. The fact that young players are also joining the Saudi league shows that Saudi Arabia has become a center of attraction. They have become one of the important countries for football in two years. This is an important investment for the Saudis

Al Nasr's side have changed their game this season especially compared to last season, although Al Hilal won the trophy last season.  But now in the present time Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nasr's team still performs best if he gets the support of the unique player. As always, Al Hilal teams have played without Neymar for a few days when they are leading this season. 

Although Neymar was not present in the Al Hilal team, that is why Al Hilal team is at the top of the points table but they have to work hard this season. Because the players have to work hard. A hardworking one is enough to take them to the top of success.

Al-Nassr is still the main competitor of Al Hilal next season. My mind initially about several teams in the Saudi League still did not get answers even though last season Al Hilal remained a team that won the Trophy.
The competition next season will not change at least the two teams, maybe those who will enter the team competition such as Al experts and Al Ittihad.
Ronaldo is still possible to get new colleagues because Al Nassr is still trying to get players with the current recruitment strategy.

Being positive is great, but let's not sugarcoat the truth. Al-Nassr's preseason is messy. It's not just preseason nerves when you see methods that don't work together and mistakes in strategy. Yes, these games are just a practice run, but you need to see some kind of plan. Now? These people seem to be winging it. And SPL is a race to get more powerful. Teams are changing and getting better. Al-Nassr? They're not moving at all. That's not good

During the preseason, you should look for flaws and fix them. Quickly. Those in charge of Al-Nassr? It looks like they're not paying attention at the wheel.  They need to wake up quickly because they are going to lose when the season starts. Dear reader, this is not a practice run. It's a shot to warn. Change or die. That's how the SPL really works

Maybe you don't know that Al-Nassr has brought in a new player for next season? He is a goalkeeper from Brazil and he is still quite young. Bento Matheus Krepski previously started his career at the Brazilian team Athletico Paranaense and spent three years there. He is also registered as a goalkeeper for the Brazilian national team even though he rarely gets the chance to play.

So for the defense line, especially the goalkeeper, it is quite safe for Al-Nassr because they get a pretty good goalkeeper and it's just a matter of how they can reduce the number of goals conceded to be less. Although Bento Matheus Krepski is not a big name, it is hoped that he can be the best solution for Al-Nassr at this time.
