I sometimes believe that the opposite becomes true when players earn more money than they could have ever dreamt of. I do of course have no idea in how far Ronaldo's contract is also based on individual performance and team achievements, but he is certainly not in a place and in the personal position (age, etc.) to show his best soccer. There is no Real Madrid vs. Barcelona and close to 100,000 people in the stadium freaking out as if this was about life or death. He signed an unbelievable contract, he will outperform most players in the Saudi League (maybe all) and the fans will probably admire him no matter what. The fact alone that he is drawing so much attention to the league and to the club Al Nassr specifically is already a big deal for them. Just look at how the club's instagram exploded by now. For that amount of money it was the right thing to do. I also think that Ronaldo might have felt the GOAT decision has come to an end due to Messi winning the World Cup. There is no way Ronaldo would have won another Ballon d'or let alone a World Cup trophy. I can only agree with him from a financial standpoint. Who in the world would have turned down half a billion dollars for 2.5 years and keep in mind, Ronaldo very well knows that this is not the end of the story financially.

However, morally I believe the situation is more complicated. Some will argue that Ronaldo going to Al Nassr will help improve human rights in that area. Others will argue that it would have been a strong statement to decline the offer and state publicly the reasons for his decision. Either way, it is impressive what kind of attention one man alone in this world can draw to a league that hardly anyone has been paying attention to before. But I am not so sure for how long this hype will endure. It might also decrease significantly very soon.

I saw in the final score that Ronaldo scored a goal and saved his new club to get a point, the goal from the penalty spot after the foul was undoubtedly Ronaldo's penalty kick was very accurate, but only by getting 1 point made Al Nassr rise to the top with a score the same as the club below so it's going to be a tight season.

Yes of course Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nasir is a matter of great pride for Al Nasir. At one time, the football clubs of Saudi Arabia were not so well known in the world and no one knew them. But after Ronaldo arrived at the Saudi club Al Nasser, Saudi football clubs have started to be known to the world. Ronaldo's poor performance in Saudi club matches has led to speculations about him. But we should give him time without imagining such speculations. A team can never be roused alone and some support is needed and it takes time to build this support. With Ronaldo's strategy, when all the players come under his control, we expect Al Nasr to perform well in any club match.

The presence of Ronaldo in a team is itself a biggest achievement - Ronaldo is a champion and he will remain a champion.
Even in this rip age - he is more stronger than many of the players.

Just like you have written, Ronaldo is a big player and there is nothing he need to prove to the world again after winning so many cups for his country and different club he had played for. Ronaldo himself is a big celebrity that many players and people that are aspiring to be a footballer one day are trying to learn from him how he was able to achieve so many things including awards and medals.

Looking at his age, till now he is sti ready to play football even when his retire is getting closer. Ronaldo going to Saudi Arabia is something many players would not be able to achieve with so much money spent to bring him to his current team.

In today game against Al Fateh visitors Al Nassr were completely in dominance, but sadly they were not able to win this match and have to lost two points with their top scorer for this season Talisca is also RED CARDED which is not good for them in all match they have done good job and have better performance but Al Fateh were also having good defense and their attacks was also giving good support for having better result of this game which works for them both time they take early lead but at the end Al Nassr were able to equalize this and at the end in injury time Ronaldo's goal give them shocking draw with this Cristiano Ronaldo having his first goal of this season for the Al Nassr in this Saudi Professional League.

Yes, Al Nassr was lucky that the ball shoot by Ronaldo in last minutes was able to equalize the score, even with a penalty but it makes the fans and team is a bit happy. Unfortunately, in this match they could not bring home three points, although they dominated the match. But I think Al Fateh was better the home team didn't waste any opportunities, meanwhile Al Nassr had many missed good opportunities. The current standings are very close, and yeah Al Nassr can't suffer another defeat in next match.

although Al-nassr was able to dominate the match more. But actually Al-Nassr almost got a defeat in that. Al-Nassr was very lucky to get a penalty kick at the end of the game. And Cristiano Ronaldo was able to take advantage of the penalty kick well and made Al-nassr avoid defeat. because if Al-nassr loses this fight. then Al-nassr's ranking will drop to position 2. Luckily Al-nassr at least got a draw in this fight. but in the next match Al-nassr cannot suffer another defeat and must be able to get full points again if they want to maintain their first position in the current standings.

I think there is also the fact that other team may focus on defending Ronaldo so much that other players could find themselves chances to score. For example, Talisca has been quite great when it comes to scoring, because defenders were all on Ronaldo in a few positions which Talisca was a great player to take advantage of as well.

I believe that Ronaldo will get better with some more time, but at the same time I believe that he could be used as a decoy as well, I know it is not normal to pay someone hundreds of millions of dollars to be a decoy, but if you put just one defender on Ronaldo, he will score, hence why other teams risk getting scored by others by defending Ronaldo heavily and that is a good thing for Al-Nassr.

You know what, it's not just about Ronaldo's performance, the whole team has to step up and work together if they want to secure a win against Al Fateh today. After all, football is a team sport and no one player can win it all by themselves. Plus, we have to consider that the host team Al Fateh is not an easy one to beat, they're currently ranked 6th in the SPL.

I believe that the owner's intention of signing Ronaldo was more about bringing attention to Saudi Arabia's bid to host the next World Cup and not just solely relying on Ronaldo to carry the team. But still, we can't deny that everyone wants to see Ronaldo score and bring a victory to Al Nassr, that would be a great boost for the team and the fans. Let's see what the future holds and hope that everyone, including Ronaldo, can bring their A-game

Ronaldo scores his first goal with Al-Nassr from a penalty shot, but this goal wasn't enough to bring the three points to the team who are competing for the SPL title. Although the competitor isn't a weak team, Ronaldo seems to be missing the harmony with other players. Apart from this, it was notable that the player who scored the first goal for Al Fatih is Cristian Tello, who was once a player for Barcelona, while playing now for the first time with Al Fatih.

Al-Fateh 2-1 Al-Nassr, club/Ronaldo yet to reveal. It is hardly believe that this Al Nassr topped the Saudi Pro League table before Cristiano Ronaldo debut. So far, their results and performance have been quite disturbing. As Al Nassr have few more minutes left to level the match, but can Cristiano Ronaldo deliver the goal the fans have been waiting for?

This game is now entering the second round. and right now, the score is 2-1. both of them looked very impatient in attacking. but Al Nassr had more possession.
But when this happened, Al Nassr trailed by 1 goal early in the first half. and they managed to equalize to 1-1 at the end of the first half. in this match, Ronaldo became the spearhead of Al Nassr. and hopefully, he can score another equalizer after Bendebka put Al Fateh 2-1 up.

cristiano win todays match? I think you have a too big expectations of him! I myself am curious whether he will be able to score goals for Al Nassr in today's match because many people have high hopes for him, especially Al Nassr fans and also bettors who definitely choose Al Nassr to win in today's match.

Al-Fateh VS Al-Nassr Al Fateh team scored a goal at the start of today's game.  And after the first attack missed, Cristiano Tello's second shot from outside the box touched the ball into the net at Al-Nassr's goal post.  But so far Al Nassr has not been able to attack.  At the beginning of the match, Al Fateh was successful in the first attack after 11 minutes.  Is it possible for Cristiano Ronaldo to win the team today?

Today Al Nassr will compete against Al Fateh, Al Nassr's ranking has dropped to second place but because they still have 2 matches to play and the match will be an opportunity for Al Nassr to return to the top if they can win, H2H Al Nassr is better and this will remains a match where Al Nassr is the favorite to win.

The owner of Al Nassr has said clearly their real goal of signing cristiano ronaldo for the next 2 and a half years is as a campaign for saudi arabia to be able to host the next world cup so they don't expect Cristiano to be a superman who has to score goals in every match that al nassr do.

in the SPL at the moment al Ittihad is ranked 4th but in the past Arab Super Cup, they are really tough.  back to the match that will take place today, Al nassr will face al fateh and the host in this match is al fateh, hope that everyone cristiano can bring victory to al nassr, hopefully, that will happen later.

That's right Ronaldo is a name football world will always remember but that doesn't mean because of Al Nassr defeat against Al Ittihad his performance can be questioned .
Yea you can give opinions and do productive criticism,  winning a game require team effort and hardwork alone Ronaldo cannot do any magic . All team members have to work efficiently for winning game.

Cristiano Ronaldo presence is surely big advantage for the Al Nassr but here we have to understand one thing it's not alone Ronaldo who is going to change all things in just few matches they need to have changed their strategy and bring some quality as well for having better results because we all know this soccer is not one player game it needs all players to contribute for having better results in leagues just one player can bring some improvement but still we need to have good contribution from others as well for having good results same happening here.

If coach is not happy then surely he needs to talk and have better way of having better results which is now important even they are not going to have any challenge for the win of title but still they need to have better coordination between players and good strategy as well which improve teams performance.

Once again, I need to disagree with you.

Ronaldo doesn't need to prove anything. Whatever he needs to prove, he has done that during the last two decades. And his "contribution" will be measured in a different way. His contribution will not be measured in terms of the number of goals that he score, but rather by the increased viewership and attention for the Saudi Professional League. And in this regard Ronaldo has performed better than expected. Now coming to their defeat against Al Ittihad, Al Nassr needs to do introspection. Ronaldo's presence only helped them in that match.
