I am still trying to understand why Messi would even want to go to Saudi Arabia. It is clear for everyone to see that he is remains a top player and one of the best playmakers in Europe despite his age.
Football fans shouldn't forget in a hurry that Cristano Ronaldo did not choose to go to KSA. Technically, he was forced to go since no club actually wanted to pay for him. While on the other hand, Messi can pick and choose which club he wants plays for the way he does right now.

You can't rule out the possibilities. I agree that Messi is in a much more comfortable position when compared to Ronaldo. But after all, playing football is like any other career options. If Al Hilal is ready to offer $350 million (as per the rumors), then Messi would at least think about it. Right now he is receiving around $41 million per year in Paris Saint-Germain. But then, he needs to sacrifice the option of playing in one of the top leagues. That said, the Saudi Professional League is not bad either. They do have a number of quality overseas players (apart from Ronaldo).
I think one mistake Messi will make is to put money first before his career, the man is damn rich already, if the Saudi professional team offer him a $350 million dollar per year to leave his current contract and join their team, if he's really passionate about football and his career, i think the right thing to do first is the put the money involved aside and weigh other options, like what could possibly go wrong and how his career could be possibly affected, and also, what exactly is in for him playing for this new team aside the money they are offering, this are the few of the things I think he should think about before accepting such an offer.

I know the very first thought that comes to mind is the huge amount of money he’ll get when he signs up, but I feel that he would go there to continue his professional rivalry with Ronaldo. Furthermore he’s won everything possible for a player, and now if he decides to move to Saudi who can blame him after all this will probably be the last big contract he signs.

I agree with your opinion. In fact, since Al Nassr spent a huge amount of money to recruit Ronaldo, he has not really proved that Al Nassr spent that money is completely worth it, he only shined in a friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain, and official matches are lackluster.
 I think Ronaldo is still a stranger to Al Nassr. Ronaldo tried very hard but he and his teammates still lacked coordination. Ronadol needs more time to practice with his teammates to combine better.

Ronaldo doesn't need more time, what he needs is more good players. We saw his performance at Manchester United and it showed that age has greatly reduced Ronaldo's performance. Al Nassr should sign more players that will serve Ronaldo with goal-scoring opportunities because he cannot create them. If the club thought that by signing Ronaldo they have solved all their problems, then they have made a terrible mistake. Ronaldo should be used for marketing and publicity, while the Al Nassr management put the necessary things such as quality players and coaches in place.
Ronaldo did not start well against AL Nassr, but in the match AL Nassr against Al Wehda, Ronaldo regained his form, he alone scored 4 goals for AL Nassr.
As you said, Al Nassr should sign more players with more assists, and Ronaldo would be a good goalscorer. Age has reduced his form a lot, but I still hope Ronaldo at AL Nassr will reap a lot of success, because he is still one of the best players on the planet.

Although Ronaldo started playing for Al Nassr only a few weeks back, I can see that his inclusion has served its intended purpose. The fans are happy, because he has lighted up the league with 4 goals in the last match. The club owners and the Saudi Professional League organizers are excited because matches are being watched by millions of people around the world and there is a lot of interest from advertisers and sponsors. Now Al Hilal can start their negotiations with Lionel Messi, with a lot more confidence.

He definitely going to score against big clubs in the league with no stopping, always at his best form in every season. Cristiano Ronaldo presence in the team proven all doubt about the good form Al Nassr and the high spirit of his new teammates. Everyone wants to suit in their peak when they're playing against one of the undisputed GOAT in football. Ronaldo scoring a poker in his last game for Al Nassr have given me the confident that he will surpassed 20 goals on the leaderboard this season. He's kind of a leader in the club and eversince he signed for the club, the club have grown in all social media platforms, boosting their followers from low to high and more popularity gained by the club and also the Saudi Arabia league is recognizable.

It doesn't matter if Ronaldo does the same against Al- Taawoun or not, that doesn't take away the fact of Ronaldo's greatness. Already Al Nassr has a very good record against Al- Taawoun as they have defeated them more than they have lost in their last 5 games so I don't see a reason why Al Nassr won't win that game. The Ronaldo impact has put Al Nassr at the top of the table already and it's going to end that way as Ronaldo will be helping Al Nassr get their very first league title in a long time.

Criticism aren't new to Ronaldo as they're things he is used to and that's what made him this popular. What will surprise me is if Ronaldo was somehow abel to end the season with 20+ goals. I would had said 10 but he already has closed to that number already and I believe he's about to pick up goal scoring form.

For Al Nassr, the next match is against another little-known club called Al-Taawoun. We can expect a big win on 17th February, when the two teams are going to meet. The local defenders are no match for a legend like Ronaldo. Already he has 4 goals from 2 matches. By the time this season of SPL gets completed, he may overtake Talisca to become the top scorer.
Before scoring those four goals in a single match, Cristiano Ronaldo had a few matches without any goal. He is still a very good player with good physical strength and skills to smell spaces, opportunities and can make accurate finishes. However, because he is a very renowned player, he gets so much attention from opponent defenders. Therefore, they don't give him too much space to show his dangerous skills.

However, if Al Nassr players can give Ronaldo good passes, he will convert them to goals for the club. Latest four goals are very good examples for Ronaldo ability.
What are you talking about, of course being rich means you will be better and being poor means you will be worse. Al-Wehda is a great example of this, everyone congratulating Ronaldo for scoring 4 goals, but Al-Wehda is a terrible club of the league, and that is why it was so easy for him to score 4 goals, of course Ronaldo is not a bad player, are we shocked to learn that?

I mean why congratulate Ronaldo about scoring 4 goals to a terrible Saudi team? This dude is known to be maybe the best player ever, it's funny to see people hyped about this. He also played against other good clubs of Saudi league and failed, maybe he will be terrible here, who knows, calm down about just one game.

Indeed it should or naturally Ronaldo can do or be able to score a lot of goals for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Professional League Because after all, Ronaldo is a great player and when Ronaldo plays in the Saudi Professional League which is basically a league that is not so difficult then Ronaldo can achieved the highest achievement in the history of the Saudi Professional League.

Therefore, it is not something strange or new if Ronaldo can set a new record here, unless Ronaldo cannot set a new record in the Saudi Professional League, then that is something bad.

Yes, as the tip of the spear. he should have scored a lot of goals. after all, Ronaldo is on a high salary for that. it's just that, the opponent Al Nassr last week was not an established team in this competition. Currently, Al Wehda is ranked 13th out of 16 teams. Ronaldo will be tested again for his sharpness when Al Nassr hosts Al Taawon, not a tough opponent if we look at the statistics owned by Al Taawon. after all, from the H2H history between the meetings of these two teams, Al Nassr has always dominated the victory. only in the last meeting, Al Taawon was able to overthrow Al Nassr with a score of 1-0.

In this match, we will see how Ronaldo plays and creates every opportunity to score a goal. should, not a difficult problem for Ronaldo regardless of his opponent in this competition. it's just that, we will see and whether he is able to break the pessimism that has been covering him. if he did, he could set a new record.

The 17th match of the Saudi Professional League
Al-Shabab will open new week of SPL face Abha today
The statistics between the two club show that Al-Shabab is more chances to dominate this match, stake odds @ 1.23 for Al-Shabab to win today
The record of never loss to Al-Shabab in the last 5 matches is a consideration before decide to bet


there is no doubt that Al-Shabab will have the upper hand in this fight. as Al-Shabab haven't even lost a comeback in the last 6 matches. Al-Shabab's last defeat was by Al-Wehda. even Al-Shabab was able to hold Al-nassr to a draw in match 13. so I don't think Abha is a tough enough opponent for Al-Shabab.

the match has just started.

Some of the Saudi Professional League clubs have good overseas players representing them. I am talking about clubs such as Al Hillal and Al-Ittihad. But clubs like Al-Wehda doesn't have that luxury and whenever they play against teams like Al Nassr they go down by big margins.
I remember Xavi said that leagues in Middle East are very complicated and they are not easy like the Western people think. In football, being a rich club does not mean that club will win all titles and being poor does not mean that club can not have a good season.
Agree as this is not easy place for soccer and things need long time for having positive changes like they also need to work on their academies and other facilities which will bring good local talent, and they will be able to compete with other top players, but this all is never been easy even they have luxury of funds, but their domestic culture is also needing to be change for good changes and in near future we can expect few top players surely going to follow Cristiano Ronaldo and this could be also beneficial for them with good investments and media rights will also have good impact, and they could be able to work on their long term policies which will change the environment of this region with many other sports will also have good time for taking their share.

Nice to see him score. It may not be the big league but Cristiano Ronaldo has had a tough time in recent months. 4 goals will definitely bring his confidence back. He is still a football star, there is nothing more to say than the truth, Cristiano Ronaldo looks so happy and he is a great goalscorer at 38 years old, I also want to look forward to the new history he makes for Al-Nassr.

I thought, if Ronaldo in his 5 matches with Al-Nassr has not scored a single goal, this will be the talk of the media for several weeks and that will make the media feel very happy. But fortunately it didn't take long for Ronaldo to adapt to the Al-Nassr players and immediately prove his worth in public. It's great to see Ronaldo back to his current form and I'm really looking forward to what more records he will break in the world of football.

Tomorrow there will be match Al-Shabab vs Abha, currently Al-Shabab in third place and this team seems can get full points in that match. I hink Al-Shabab is better, they have three wins from last five head to head matches, also in the last 5 SPL matches they have a good record without lose. Meanwhile Abha have a not good record in last five matches SPL.

After coming to Saudi football club Al Nasser from Manchester United, Ronaldo was not available as before. There was a lot of criticism about Ronaldo after Al Nasser was eliminated from the Saudi Super Cup. At the same time, the course of the club has also criticized Ronaldo a lot. Ronaldo changed the tone of that criticism by scoring 4 goals in one match. Now that course has a smile of relief on its face. I am really happy that Ronaldo is back in his current form. But I think Ronaldo will go every match now and in every match he will have a new record.

Of course, sir, and I do agree. Ronaldo's addition adds motivation to Saudi players and fans to support more of the club. I think it is a good move since they have the financial capacity to do it. It's a dream for another football club to have Ronaldo on thier list.  Its a win for them and this news got around the world,where Saudi is being notice.
Saudia and Qatar are rich state - they have no problem spending money on their prosperity and we have witnessed it in Qatar and we have seen Saudis spending billions for one face and that is King Ronaldo.

Qatar has donated all the buses they have used in the world cup and today they have donate all the moveable houses numbering 10,000/- to Turkey which they have made for the guests in world cup. Why we are so much concerned about the money they are spending - they are rich and they spend money - Khalas
Gulf is completely different region, but few countries are currently doing positive things for having better exposure for the world in sports and other cultural events and Qatar already have amazing success just because of soccer world cup and UAE is also having many big events which are having good quality and prizes for players and their sponsors with this all now Saudi Arab is also bringing changes in their policies and trying to take good advantage of this all even their human rights record is not good but still they can do much better things with their sources and money.

After Ronaldo arrival now their next target is having something positive in soccer world cup as they are also having nomination for the co-hosted for the 2030 event which could be good even right now nothing is clear, but they are giving their best for this change.

Big donations for the Turkey victims is also nothing new because we have big donations for many countries from Gulf in natural disasters because they can afford to do things like this.

Regardless of whatever criticism was leveled at Ronaldo, especially when he lost to Al-Ittihad in the Super Cup match, Ronaldo has brought luck to the Arab League in general, especially Al-Nassr. With Ronaldo around, the stadium was filled with spectators, and there was even news that TV channels had also started contracting to broadcast the Arab League.
But Ronaldo always answered criticism by scoring 4 goals against Al-Wehda. But we'll see if Ronaldo will also do the same against Al-Taawoun.
But it's not wrong for those who criticize Ronaldo, because Al-Nassr has provided enough facilities for Ronaldo, and Ronaldo certainly needs to make a big contribution to Al-Nassr. At least it can bring Al-Nassr to win the Pro League.

Ronaldo is a household name in the world of football right now. Criticism will only increase his popularity, and shutting them down by overcoming those criticisms will elevate him above his peers. Indeed, the Arab League has grown in popularity and viewership since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. Money well spent on him has brought them this great fortune. Soon, more great players will join the Arab League, making it more interesting and competitive to watch, just like other European leagues.
What happened to the Arab League, is almost exactly the same as what happened to the previous Italian League. When the Italian League began to be forgotten by many spectators around the world, Ronaldo's presence made the Italian League resound. Even in a short time, the costs incurred by Juventus to bring in Ronaldo paid off. Juventus turnover increased. And at this time Al-Nassr is also enjoying it, they are getting extraordinary income. Imagine the number of Al-Nassr Instagram followers from 800k to 12.9 M. This means that Ronaldo's arrival has had a positive impact on the Arab League in general, and Al-Nassr in particular.

I hope other star players will also follow in Ronaldo's footsteps, they have to be willing to take risks, not be afraid of losing their careers or being forgotten when they are in an unpopular league. In addition, we hope that the Arab League will increase the number of clubs playing in the Pro League, not only 16 clubs, at least 18 clubs. It will be more interesting.

That is correct - Ronaldo came to Al Nasr because they wanted a famous face and they have been able to get it.
However depending on Ronaldo for the team success all the time is not possible - one should be be realistic not to make Ronaldo icon or the superman

Well whether or not someone wants Ronaldo to be an icon or superman, as you say, I do not think that matters to the people who already adore Ronaldo as an icon. They will not change their mind. And of course thats the main reason why Ronaldo went to Al Nassr. They obviously pay him big money to be the marketing face for them.

Obviously if you were to think realistically, Ronaldo is already at the age where you cannot expect his skills to not start diminishing. A younger footballer would be preferable but who cares about some new guy?

Its all just fan service at this point. Although I do respect Ronaldos career and experience throughout the years.
