To my surprise, An Nassr had only won once in the SPL. I think they are the provisional champions of the SFL but they are number 10. It looks like the SFL looks competitive, those who don't make many big transfers from Europe can still compete. Although this is still in the early competitions and the transfer market is still open. So my bad thoughts were wrong temporarily because I thought the club owned by PIF would be the club that dominated the top rankings a lot.
It's never a hidden fact that Al Nassr lost their first two games of the season but that didn't stop them from convincingly winning their last game in the league.
I think some of the players had not blended in with the playing pattern of the club which has made them not to produce good results from the previous games. Sadio Mane looks like a player who now understands better the mentality of the team and that's why he was able to score two goals in that game.
In this competition, Al Nassr has played three matches. one win and two matches with defeats, which in the end they finished 10th in the standings. but don't worry, with competitive squad depth. This team will start its game after game with a win. I'm pretty sure Luis Castro's squad will adapt quickly and achieve solid chemistry.
well, let's see how it goes this week, when Al Nassr will host another strong team, namely Al Shabab. however it is important to note, that Al Shabab is often able to trouble Al Nassr. there is no other choice, other than they have to win game after game. if not, Al Ittihad, Al-Ahli and Al Hilal, will further widen the point gap between them.
So, there is no more time for Al Nassr not to play with full performance in match after match. thus, they can compete competitively at the top of the standings. after all, this competition still leaves a lot of matches that must be played by each competing team. there are many opportunities for Al Nassr to improve their ranking in the standings.
