Of course nobody had an idea about Saudi Arabian soccer because it wasn't competitive enough. The best of the best play in Europe. The goal of Al-Nassr was to draw attention to Saudi Arabia and that worked out because everyone wants to know if Ronaldo still gives 100% when he signed a contract that brings him 200 million a year, which is ridiculous and has nothing to do with sports, but only with politics.

By the way Ronaldo's performance was devastating against Al Wahda. He gave away so many big chances and also otherwise didn't play well. Complaining all the time. Instead of grabbing his balls he should try to convince people by showing a reasonable performance for the money he is making.

At this point in Ronald's career he shouldn't always be trying to lead a team, Instead he should just relax and help the team in whatever way he can when called upon. If he had this attitude he would have still been in Europe. He's old, he has achieve everything there is to achieve in football. He should stop trying to always be in a competition with people and just try to enjoy himself.
The more he keeps trying and failing to be the number one in world football, the more people keep remembering him for only his recent performances.
At Juventus, his fans blamed the whole team but Ronaldo, At Man United, his fans blamed the whole team but Ronaldo, now the same thing is happening at All Nassr. You got to sit down and see that he doesn't add as much as he's worth anymore, and that's okay because he's old and he's got nothing to prove.

There is no big privileges to Cristiano Ronaldo inAl Nassr on field. I saw some of his team mates actually wanted to score goals by themselves in some situations at which if they make passes to Ronaldo, chance to score a goal would be bigger.

He has very good stats at his age and he even has better goal scoring rate than other younger players in Saudi Professional League. It proves all about the professionality and world-class level of Ronaldo. However, he is no longer be able to score in every match and can decide result in most of matches. He is an old player and he is at his 38 already.

Ronaldo is an icon for Al Nassr on marketing especially the European markets but on field, as I told, he does not has dominating contribution to convince his team mates to give him great passes as a hub of Al Nassr operation. Like the missing chance with which Ronald kicked the ball hits the cross bar, if he is younger a little bit, he can score a goal already.

user @W Jr. maybe talking his influence in Saudi football. As a fan, he has right utter his feelings, but as you've rightly pointed out, the facts often tell a different story. And because of him presence, every major sports platforms are now reporting on Al Nassr's elimination from competitions. A few months ago, most of us probably didn't even know they existed!

I personally respect the way he's responded to criticism and hatred.

How? How has Ronaldo become an icon for Al-Nassr? I mean are there any news that I missed or did he win any titles with them? Ronaldo is not an icon for Al-Nasr. He simply is the best paid soccer world in the world thanks to sheikh money and he a former world soccer player. He holds some records, but there is nothing anyone would specifically tie to him in terms of Al-Nassr's history or successes. He is scoring goals with a large part of it being penalties and he is grabbing his balls in front of the audience to show what a great guy he is. That is my summary so far for the guy you call an icon!

Al Nassr lost the game at home which is a very big blow. They dominated the game but failed to score at least one goal. Ronaldo should be ready for another backlash. The club is gradually losing the second position to
Al-Shabab. If Al-Shabad wins their game against Al-Ittihad on Thursday they will have equal points with captain Ronaldo's team. The only reason why Al Nassr will still be ahead of Allahabad if they win the league leader is the goal difference.

Al Nassr's performance has continued to dwindle after the sack of coach Rudi Garcia. Rudi should have been allowed to handle the club till the end of the season before he would be sacked. The sack of the coach has compounded their problem and made them play without the needed drive to win games. I just hope they qualify for the AFC Champions League next season.

Well, it seems, Al Nassr is having a hard time in this fight. yes, the match between Al Nassr vs Al Wehda has entered the first round. the course of the match, Al Nassr had 57% ball possession, 10 total shots, 2 of which were on target, 6 shots off target, 2 shots blocked. Unfortunately, none of the opportunities they had were converted into goals. in fact, Al Nassr has 1 big chance.

On the other hand, Al Wehda was not so dominant in this match. naturally, the two teams have quite significant differences whether it's based on the ranking or the quality of the players. but for sure, in this fight. Al Wehda put up a fight, they had 4 chances, one of which was converted into a goal, 2 shots were off target, 1 shot was blocked. well, currently, Al Wehda is 0-1 ahead of Al Nassr. it looks like in the second half, Al Nassr will provide high pressing to break the deadlock to equalize. however, it seems, Al Wehda will not give Al Nassr a chance to break into their defense. interesting, whether Al Nassr was able to turn things around and make a win for them. or, Al Wehda who has the right to advance to the final round to meet with Al Hilal.

Well, the second round of action has started let's see if Ronaldo and his colleagues can turn things around. Come on, let's watch and enjoy.

The match between Al Nassr and Al Wahda in the first half is over and currently Al Wahda are 0-1 up and the goal was scored by David Beauguel in the 23rd minute with his superb overhead kick.
and statistically Al Nasrr dominated the game and had several chances but no goals were created because Al Wahda's defense was very tight, in the second half Ronaldo and his friends had to score goals, because many predicted Al Nassr could beat Al Wahda and Ronaldo would score Many goals. But in fact it's not as young as it was talked about even though in the second meeting Al Nassr won a lot against Al Wahda, and there is still a second half match and hopefully Ronaldo can score a goal and bring Al Nassr to the final.

I'm bouncing off the walls for the imminent face-off between Al Nassr and Al Hilal, no doubt. We're in for a real slugfest, given the storied rivalry these two titans share. Peeking at their recent form, Al Nassr is strutting like a boss.

Sure, the semis hold weight, but my money's on Al Nassr, no contest. They're pouring blood, sweat, and tears on the pitch, and I can't fathom anything hindering their march to the grand finale.

Speaking of that ultimate showdown, Al Nassr versus Al Hilal is shaping up to be a thunderous clash. Al Hilal's past triumphs won't mean much this time around—Al Nassr's got Ronaldo, their secret weapon primed to shatter the status quo. We're in for a heart-stopping ride, and I'm itching for the action to commence!

Maybe odds given by the bookie are also because before they saw Al-Wehda slaughtered by Al-Nassr with four scores, but yes low odds for AL Nassr is something very unrealistic. If we see at Al-wehda last matches as you said, it was really great. Because in fact, they also can to make three scored against Al-hilal and ended in a draw results, while Al Nassr lost against Al hilal last match. So indeed we must to be careful if bet on Nassr, because there is a possibility this match will end in a draw.

today we have a Kings Cup game between AL Nassr FC against AL Wehda FC, the odds have a big difference, AL Wehda FC has an odd of @13.00 while AL Nassr has an odd of @1.14 and that's because the difference in the cast of players and the performance of these two teams is very large, AL Nassr is a team that is in second place in the Arab league while AL Wehda FC is in position 13 and in the last 5 games AL Wehda FC has not won in any game. but it is necessary to note something very important and that AL Wehda FC only lost in 2 of the last 5 games, they had 3 draws and also in their last game which was against the leader of the Arab league they were very close to leaving the game with a draw , they were just unlucky to suffer a penalty and consequently a goal

in my opinion this low odds in favor of AL Nassr is something very unrealistic, on paper it seems that AL Nassr is much superior to AL Wehda but in practice it is not quite like that, AL Wehda has a great ability to get a draw and take the game to the extreme and then to penalties and the team that is lucky on penalties will win, which is why if someone intends to bet on AL Nassr one has to be careful not to fall into the trap of low odds

this game also generates some psychological pressure on cristiano ronaldo and on AL Nassr players in general because with the defeat in the last game of the league they were far from their direct opponent in the fight for the title, knowing that AL Nassr in 5 games only won 2 games and comes from a sequence of two games without winning which is causing displeasure from the fans, a victory in this game could make the fans happy and revive the positivism in the team

I don't think the semi finals will be a big deal for Nasr. I'm more interested in the final cuz I know Al Nasr and Hilal clash will be very interesting to watch. A clash between these two teams as always been anticipated by many because of the rivalry between them. I don't think Nasr would miss this opportunity of meeting Hilal, cup this time I know Hilal winning record against them will be broken especially with the present nature of Nasr Squad. Ronaldo of cause is a great addition and with him Nasr is capable of taking Hilal down.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now become an icon for Al Nassr. Of course, he must be careful with his movements. Of course, I'm sure Al Nassr officials will give Ronaldo a lot of chances.  Whatever he does, he will be free in Arabia. In terms of the league, he scores 11 goals in 11 games and plays with an average of 1 goal per game. A very good statistic in my opinion. In terms of points, it was bad for Al Nassr that they were behind Ittihad.

If everything goes according to predictions then Al Nassr will easily beat their opponent in this semifinal and advance to the final to face Al Hilal and I think Al Nassr's players will not allow mistakes to occur so they will lose their big chance to go to the final later, moreover, this will be highlighted if Al Nassr fails, because in the league it looks like their chances have been closed considering the point difference with Ittihad is now 3 points but Ittihad still has 1 game unplayed.
If Al Nassr goes to the final then the rivals of the two clubs continue, Al Nassr might try to avenge the defeat in the league some time ago which made it difficult for them to continue to compete to become champions in the league, but Al Hilal is confident enough to beat this big rival so that it will making dominance every time they meet again continues.

increasingly I was also quite hot with Cristiano's attitude, however.  al nassr is a team that is rich enough so that whatever negative actions cristiano does, he can get away with it (like the case of his obscene gesture towards al hilal supporters).  As someone who plays in the Arab League, he should be able to maintain his attitude and prestige because Al Nassr signed him for quite a long time (with the aim of Saudi Arabia becoming a world football magnet country).

Are you serious on mentioning the point that Ronaldo is no famous in Saudi Arabia?
I disagree with it - after Ronaldo signed the contract with Al Nasar - Alnaser got million followers in not time

correct - Ronaldo has been given so much respect there. He is blessed to be choosen and the Saudi gov has changed their rules too by allowing Georgina to live with him  - which is not allowed there as well.

Because this is who Ronaldo really is. I know that Messi had some little scandals as well, but they are still different people. Ronaldo wants to polarize at all cost and he doesn't even hold himself back when it is about slapping a mobile phone out of a kid's hand because it wanted to take a foto. He is a great soccer player and serves as an example for physical fitness, but I wouldn't want to be like him as a person. I think we will soon call the world "arrogant" "ronaldish". When he did that against Atletico, I understood why. Because Simeone insulted him in the game before with the same gesture. Then Ronaldo destroyed them in the second leg and showed the gesture as well. But in Saudi Arabia, that is not very smart.

In the end, Al Ittihad was defeated by Al Hilal in the King's Cup competition. even though the match was going very tough, even Al Ittihad had lots of opportunities. but unfortunately, Nuno Santo's team was unable to score a single chance to convert it into a goal. whereas, Al Ittihad was favored to play as the home team. sadly, that they are facing one of the toughest teams in the competition. as a result, Al Ittihad failed to the next phase. by the way, with this, Al Ittihad has been defeated by Al Hilal in two different competitions.

Meanwhile, although Al Hilal tended to play offensively and controlled the game. unfortunately, they don't have much of a chance. It's only natural that in this match Al Ittihad played more using a defensive pattern. as a result, Al Hilal found it difficult to create opportunities to make it a goal. but luck seems to be on Al Hilal's side, in the end Ahmad Hegazy made a blunder by an own goal. unfortunately, this goal became a victory for Al Hilal. that way, Al Hilal advanced in the final match.

Tomorrow, is the match Al Nassr vs Al Wehda. one of these two teams, will certainly meet Al Hilal in the King's Cup final match. interesting, let's wait.

Ronaldo will not worry much about the fine. Half a day of work for the fine, but he won't work very hard there in the competition. I can't provide much input to the discussion about the teams, because I don't know the teams and you don't see those matches on TV or the internet either. I do know that there is a CL edition for teams from this region, but that cannot be compared to the teams from the CL itself. I also don't know if Ronaldo plays in the team that is 1st, I don't think so. Ronaldo is good, but you also need good supply to serve Ronaldo in the team.

ya.ya.yo!
