In that match, it was a shame that Al-Nassr couldn't score many goals, as did Cristiano Ronaldo, who usually always scores goals, but in that match, Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score and of course many people expected the star player to score. but I saw that even though Al-nassr won against Esteghlal with a narrow score of 0-1, I was still amazed by Al-nassr's game because I saw that the Al-nassr players were very enthusiastic and fought optimally to achieve many goals in that match and of course even though Al -nassr won with a narrow score but of course it was a good victory because of course Esteghlal is not an easy opponent to beat, especially considering that last season in the Iranian League Esteghlal was runner up. So of course Esteghlal still has strength which certainly cannot be underestimated, even though currently in the Iranian League Esteghlal is ranked 11th in the standings.

There are indeed many opportunities for Al-Nassr, but unfortunately Esteghlal's defense line is very strong and it is clear how difficult it is for Al-Nassr players to score accurately against Esteghlal's goal. But luckily Laporte was able to score a goal against Esteghlal and at the same time he became the hero in that match.

but what is clear is that up to now Pioli is still good at coaching Al-nassr and to be honest I am curious about Al-nassr's next match in the SPL against Al Kholood and I predict that in that match Al-nassr will have great potential to win, what do You think, is Al -nassr will win against Al Kholood.?

Despite winning narrowly, Al Nassr dominated the match with many chances, it was just that they were unlucky, plus Esteghlal's defense in this match was very solid and occasionally Esteghlal gave tough resistance. Laporte's goal was not only the winner in this match, but Al Nassr also showed their toughness in maintaining their victory until the end of the match.

The strategy used by Al Nassr in the match showed a neat attacking game by utilizing the width of the field. Al Nassr players often made crosses and tried to penetrate Esteghlal's defense with high balls. This strategy must be maintained in order to be consistent in the SPL and also be able to compete with Al Hilal who are currently very solid at the top of the standings and have not been defeated. Al Nasr's next match is against Al-Kholood, statistically Al Nassr will easily win this match.

Al-Nassr's performance was much better than Esteghlal's, meaning Esteghlal couldn't do much in this match. And Al-nassr continued to dominate from the start. It's just that Esteghlal's defense deserves appreciation. Because even though they continuously received pressure, they managed not to lose by a big score. And Esteghlal's goalkeeper, H. Hosseini, really worked hard in that match. And perhaps without this goalkeeper's dexterity in blocking every shot on goal, Esteghlal could have conceded more goals. And in the end the 3 clubs from the SPL who played in the 3rd match yesterday at LCA all managed to win the match. Namely Al-hilal, Al-ahli and AL-nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 54 goals and 15 assists in 55 games for Al Nassr. With his goal in Portugal's win over Croatia, he became the first player to cross the 900-goal threshold. I can imagine he wants to break the 1000-goal barrier, but he is 39 years old. Breaking the 1000-goal threshold would suit him very well. I hope he achieves it and takes his glorious position in the history of football to an unreachable level...

In this match, Al Nasr managed to dominate the game quite well. Unfortunately, Al Nasr had difficulty breaking through Esteghlal's goal. Because, it cannot be denied that the defense of Esteghlal players in this match was quite good. So, Ronaldo and his friends had difficulty breaking through Esteghlal's defense. So, no goals were scored in the first half. Then in the second half, the match was still dominated by Al Nasr, but as I said above, Al Nasr still had difficulty scoring goals. But fortunately in the 81st minute, Al Nasr player, Laporte was able to score the winning goal for Al Nasr. I personally really regret that Ronaldo could not score a goal in this match, even though he had many opportunities in this match. However, even so, Ronaldo has made a good contribution to this match, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't score a goal. Besides, I am personally quite impressed with Al Nasr's current game. Because after Al Nasr was trained by Pioli, his playing style became better than when Al Nasr was trained by Castro. So hopefully Pioli can continue to make Al Nasr a better team. Because until now Al Nasr has had a very hard time becoming a champion in a competition.

Al Nassr did experience difficulty when they faced Esteghlal yesterday. A crucial game that brought out the very best fame tactics from the Knights of Najd. They dominated the whole game but when it comes to netting a goal, that was their main difficulty, they were unable to grab any significant winning and we know how that sounds for such elite club. While the home team was prepared and never reciprocate, they hold their ground with defensive display but unable to draw things to settled.

Al Nassr are united, the players always there to provide crucial long passes that leads to goals and we've watch their best performance this season. Al Nassr are title contenders and we all know that. Cristiano Ronaldo is best player for Al Nassr, but we he did prove himself worthy against his opponent, remember not all games Ronaldo do record goals despite his tough competitive race to reach 1000 goals milestones. Al Nassr are great SPL side and they don't settled for lesser scores.

Al Nassr was the effective team in the match and created 18 chances. They managed to get 10 shots on target out of these 18 chances but only scored 1 goal. Those who predicted that the match would end with more goals were wrong. Al Nassr is one of the strongest teams in the Asian Champions League and while I expected at least 3 goals in this match, I was very surprised that they barely won by 1 goal. Fortunately, it did not matter and they were able to earn the 3 points.

I see this narrow win as a success and good improvement of Al Nassr. They finally knew how to secure their defense system, protect their goalkeeper so that they can win minimally. Al Nassr don't have problems in attacking, but their biggest issue and weakness is in their defense system. This match can be a foundation of their better defensive performance that can be foundation for their success like Saudi Professional League title.

Al Nassr dominated the match, controlled it and did not let Esteghlal scoring any goal by exploiting their defense system. In late of the match, they got a winning goal from a defender Laporte, when attacking players of Al Nassr failed in scoring goal.

A winning streak for Al Nassr continues but they will have bigger celebrate if in coming matches, they will continue to keep a clean sheet.

No one knows whether Al Nassr will be able to maintain all of this consistently or not in the future, what is clear is that I really hope they can really maintain it, for the match in the AFC Champions League they managed to win against Esteghlal FC and I got another bet.
What is clear is that in the future I will still make Al Nassr the favorite as long as it is not match that brings together equally strong team like Al Hilal.


In reality, Al Nassr was only able to win with narrow score of 0 - 1 and it is quite unfortunate that Ronaldo did not contribute goal in this match even though Ronaldo had several opportunities that could have become goal.

For now, Pioli has perfect squad because no core players are injured, there are still many big matches that they will face in the future and each player must really take care of themselves to be able to stay ready whenever they have to play an important match.

Esteghlal did put up quite a good fight in that match. Their defense is really quite strong. But in the end attack after attack built by the Al-Nassr squad was able to penetrate their defense and produce 1 goal. Al-Nassr ultimately won this match as we expected. But the thin score seems to be beyond my expectations. because I expect more goals from this match. However, the most important thing is that Al-Nassr can win this match and collect points and can potentially continue to the next round if they continue to get good results.

It is cool, Al Nassr wins the match again. True, Al Nassr wins streak, they always win the match under Pioli's management. Al Nassr can play more offensive now although the attackers can't score many goals. But the good thing is Al Nassr defense becomes stronger.

In the match against Esteghlal, again Al Nassr attackers couldn't score goals. The goal was made by Laporte, a center-back. It is quite disappointing Ronaldo and Mane failed scoring goals, but I think we should respect them because their defense performed well. The duo Laporte-Simakan look strong enough, I just expect these players will keep performing well in matchday 9, against Al Hilal. It is the real test of these duo defenders.

Al Nassr again managed to maintain their current winning streak, although Al Nassr appeared dominant from the first minute of the match but they actually had a very difficult time dismantling Esteghlal's defense in the match, throughout the match Al Nassr was able to continue to create many chances but I think the poor finishing and also the performance and performance of Hosseini quite good in guarding the Esteghlal goal actually made Ronaldo,  Mane and Otavio were frustrated in the match, but it is undeniable that the quality from better squad of Al Nassr from Esteghlal made were the difference in the match, the change in game strategy and also the increase in the intensity of Al Nassr's attack finally gave them the advantage with a goal scored by Laporte in the 81st minute as well as lock Al Nassr victory in the match.

We have the same thoughts, in my previous post I just wanted to refute the nonsense of @Jody.Drummer who said other teams should take advantage when Al-Hilal slips up, that's impossible. Al-Hilal will keep running until they get the league title even before the league ends. Even a team like Al-Nassr was unable to do much when facing Al-Hilal, they were only able to draw even at their own home.

Without a doubt Esteghlal is showing that it is the home team, for Al Nassr it is not a problem, CR7 was almost on the verge of scoring a goal, they are plugged in with the goal, although to be honest Esteghlal were saved as they are very withdrawn in defence, I like the approach of this match because now the dispute is in the midfield and this causes the difference honestly, I think that things are more favourable to Al Nassr now, they gave them 4 minutes of injury time for the first half, not bad, but even so Al Nassr went all out, if they come out again in the second half with that attitude they are going to win.

But don't forget that in this match Esteghlal is the host. And we know being a host sometimes makes a difference. Sometimes a team that is not a favorite can even make a surprise when they host. I personally also favor Al-Nassr. But I can't underestimate Esteghlal who is the host of this match.
And now the Esteghlal vs Al-nassr match has started and has entered the 11th minute and it seems like the two teams still haven't shown any gaps in their defense. So both teams were unable to make any meaningful attacks at the start of this match.

Al-Nassr will definitely be the favorites in today's match against Esteghlal in the AFC Champions League Elite. And actually Esteghlal is not in good condition this season in the Iranian League. Maybe last season Esteghlal managed to finish in 2nd place in the Iranian League but this season it seems like Esteghlal has really lost his consistency. Or maybe because they are trying to focus more on LCA. However, I am quite sure that Al-Nassr will win this match. And I also hope Cristiano Ronaldo scores lots of goals in this match.

AFC looks like Saudis will be there to win again, I always believed they should be winning the title every season with the way they are spending money and looks like they will have a chance again. I believe we are going to end up with Saudi league growing in popularity a bit more as well, gradually of course.

We had a huge burst into scene with Ronaldo, and then they added more talent and famous players, most famous ones are probably Ronaldo, Benzema, Neymar and probably Mane, but they have more players that are famous and if they keep this up and keep spending money then they are going to be famous for longer term and keep growing as well. They will have more players wanting to join as well.

However, when we look at this current rate, I believe we are going to end up with something better eventually. AFC is a proof of that, if one day Saudi teams dominate easily there, like I mean very easily, then we know they are ready for something bigger.

That's right, my friend, Ronaldo is an extraordinary football player. Maybe at this time no one has been able to match Ronaldo in all aspects of the world of football. So it is not surprising that Ronaldo is called the best football player of all time, because the records that Ronaldo has made so far are almost impossible to match by other football players. Ronaldo can be a successful football player in various top leagues in the world, for example in the English league when he was still at Manchester United, in Laliga when he was still at Real Madrid, in Serie A when he was still with Juventus, and currently in the SPL with Al Nasr. Then now Ronaldo will again set a record with his 1000th goal. I think this will come true, if Ronaldo continues to play football. Because as we know, at the age of almost 40 years, Ronaldo still has a very great performance and is always able to score goals. So with that, I am sure that Ronaldo will be able to score his 1000th goal before he really retires from the world of football.


And besides that in a few hours Al Nasr will play in LCA match against Esteghlal. I hope in this match Al Nasr can win and Ronaldo can score many goals. If you look at the performance of both teams, I think Al Nasr is superior to Esteghlal. Because if you look at the last 5 matches of both teams Al Nasr is better than Esteghlal. Because Al Nasr has a record of winning the last 5 matches. While Esteghlal was only able to win 1 match. So with that, I am sure Al Nasr can win this match.

It was great to have Neymar back playing, now he has to get back into shape, get into the swing of things and continue to delight everyone with his football... I still think that due to his age and history of injuries, Neymar should rethink his style of play on the field, try not to expose himself so much to defenders and play more intelligently, like a true number 10 or a center forward who finishes plays. Only then will he be able to have greater longevity in his career.

it was a wait that looked as though it would never come to an end. I almost felt as though Neymar is going down too soon due to his injury but it's good he's back to the team. It's been complete 12 months he's been out due to his injury and his club has still remained strong and dorminant even with his absence. His coming back to the club will pose a threat to teams that will be playing against them considering the kind of talent he's made off. Hopefully, he will likely get a start or more playing time in their next home game against Al-Taawoun at the King Fahd International Stadium.
