More popular players into the league will make the league more popular. This could increase the standard of play and make better players from the Asian countries. However it takes much more time for Saudi Arabia Pro League to meet the standards as the leagues played on the Western nations. With the involvement of Ronaldo the league have gained attention among the world football enthusiasts and the same will increase when more players be the part of the league.

Wow, I confess I didn't know that...
Well, I'm not a football expert, but I imagined that Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr would be something related to marketing, and also because he's an excellent player (in my opinion, one of the best currently)... There was no doubt that C. Ronaldo could be a guide for the team's newcomers as this transaction was reported worldwide!

Well, to be honest I don't know, but I imagine that if Al Nassr wanted to assemble a team to be champion, they could have hired 2, 3 or 4 players who together could be superior to Cristiano Ronaldo, but I have no doubt that supposedly those 2, 3 or 4 players could never have the impact that C. Ronaldo had on Al Nassr including for Saudi Professional League football

What risk does Messi take if he plays in the Arab League? I see no risks to play in Saudi Pro League. Messi even can get a bigger salary and he can give a big contribution to Saudi Pro League. In the future, people will always remember that Messi ever contributes to making Arab league bigger. His name will be in Saudi Pro League history forever.

Sure, not only Messi, Arab League must bring more famous players from top European leagues. More famous players come, people will be more excited to watch Saudi Pro League matches.

I think it is going to come down the wire, I do not think that either team will be celebrating the title anytime before the last game. We do not know of course, because in the next 9 games one of the teams could end up losing like 2 games and make it harder and all that, but I feel like that is not going to happen. I think the difference will stay within one game margin and the very last game will decide it.

Let's see how it will go, Ronaldo would be insanely upset if he doesn't win the championship here as well, because he knows very well that online everyone will bully him and his fans for not even winning Saudi title, so he will play much better from now on.

Al Nassr will play against Al Hilal after the Al Adalh and Al Feiha matches. Ittihad FC will play against Al Shabab after matches against Damak FC and Al Wehda. I think Ittihad FC have a more demanding match schedule. After these matches, Al Nassr can take back the league leadership. In addition, Al Nassr will play with Al Wehda in the Saudi Arabian Champions Cup matches. Ittihat FC will play with El Hilal in the other semi-final match of the same cup. These matches can be an opportunity to catch a good series for Ronaldo and his teammates because they have a better match schedule than Ittihat FC.

But I'm not so sure Messi would take the risk by playing in the Arab league. His presence at PSG also does not show anything more. In contrast to when he played at Barcelona which was served entirely by other players.
Yes, of course if Messi moves to the Arab league, the eyes of the audience will be on the Arab league.
I think the Arab league needs to bring in more European league players. This will make the Arab league style of play even more interesting. At present we see that the Arab League can play quickly, even with a very good level of accuracy in passing. But they always lose when they meet European clubs. Maybe it lies in the mentality of the players.

Even though Ronaldo's outspoken comments caused a commotion, his on-field prowess should not be overlooked. Consider his two goals he scored for Portugal against Liechtenstein. He is not a spring chicken, but neither is he near death. There's nothing more exciting than watching the greatest player of all time try his hand at a new sport, so I'm eager to see what Ronaldo brings to the Saudi Arabian league. what if Messi tags along for the ride? It'd be a sight to see these football giants clash, and the Saudi Arabian league would be all the richer for it

The fierce competition between Al-ittihad and Al-Nassr is still ongoing with 9 matches remaining this season. and the difference of 1 point is a very thin difference that makes it possible for the two teams to take turns occupying the top of the standings. al-ittihad and Al-nassr have the same level of consistency. so the opportunity for both is still wide open. and for the 3rd rank I still doubt it will belong to Al-Hilal. even though Al-hilal has 2 postponed matches it cannot be a guarantee that Al-hilal can win the 2 postponed matches. The 2 postponed matches were against al-feiha and al-khaleej. and these 2 matches will be held in close proximity, namely on April 2 Al-hilal vs Al-khaleej and April 5 Al-hilal vs Al-feiha.

for the match against Al-khaleej maybe I have no doubt that Al-hilal will win quite easily. but after 2 days Al-hilal had to face Al-Feiha. and Al-Feiha is a club that is quite strong even in the history of 5 meetings with Al-hilal, we can see that Al-Feiha is far superior with 3 wins 1 loss and 1 draw. and plus the physical condition of the Al-hilal players might not be too optimal because of course they didn't get enough rest after the match against Al-Khaleej on the 2nd. and after finishing against Al-Feiha it turns out that on the 8th of April Al-hilal must also be ready to return against Al Shabab. and Al-shabab certainly has no doubt the quality of the game that can trouble Al-hilal. and once again I think the Al-hilal players will be a little tired and not perform optimally. because just imagine 3 matches in close time is very tiring. Namely April 2, 5 and 8. if the match schedules are not too close together then I am pretty sure Al-hilal will be able to beat the 3 teams but with the tight schedule conditions I think this will have a lot of effect on the performance of the Al-hilal players themselves.

Actually many clubs didn't want him because if his outrageous salary and general contributions ti the team. He is getting older and can't be that old Ronaldo that destroy any team that he comes in contact with. Clubs couldn't afford Ronaldo that's why he want to a club that can afford him
 Saudi Arabic spoke with Ronaldo and told him there version for football over there and Ronaldo buys into their ideal so he joined and off course they offerred him a contract he couldn't reject. There are even rumors of Messi wanting to kove the Saudi Arabia league of only they'll double the contract (amount) given to Ronaldo.

Anybody that watches Ronaldo play can testify of his greatness. Even while he's on international duties he's still scoring goals at the age. Portugal games against Liechtenstein saw Ronaldo netting twice and even scored a free kick. Whenever Ronaldo is on form, that forms continues in whatever tournament he participate in. Al Nassr has given back Ronaldo form because he's happy at the club and not the bondage he was in at Manchester united. This players are humans too so we should expect human behavior from them at times and not every time looking for professional behaviors.

It is clear that such a small distance in points can definitely be caught up by Al-Nassr and regarding Al-Ittihad's match against Al-Hilal in May, this will be an opportunity for Al-Nassr to surpass on points because Al-Ittihad could slip against Al-Hilal later, but talking about the match is still very long and before the match was held I think Al-Nassr has been able to shift the position of Al-Ittihad.

Ronaldo is only one player in a team with 11 players in each squad and he only contributes the best he can. However, it does not mean he is able to bring his club to success. Sometimes he can but we can not request him to do this every match.

Ronaldo did make some changes in Al-Nassr and for Saudi Professional League in general. He helped the club and the league become more famous globally especially in European countries. With his appearance in the league, many television companies decided to buy television rights of Saudi Professional League and broadcast league matches.

In Al-Nassr, Ronaldo did boost his team-mates to play with more seriously winning desire.

PSG have more star players than Al-Nassr and they must play well even they don't have those trio super star players. I don't think a club with many star players like PSG can not win their matches if they don't have those three super stars in a match.

Well, not all fútbol matches can be Won, it would be the perfect streak and such a thing does not exist, as far as I am concerned with CR7 , obviously when he names MESSI it is something that grates on his brain , because it has always been compared to him, but Messi already took advantage of him , he has a World Cup ,CR7 not , apart from being chanted at the stadium is something that can cause him a lot of stress.

CR7 is a guy who likes to score goals every time he comes in , because that's his job , but sometimes things don't work out and everything accumulates and things get out of hand , I think CR7's reaction to what he did it is normal , he is human , they give him feelings of rage ,of despair and that must be removed.


Saudi fútbol is very different, I have tried to see some coincidences with South American fútbol, European fútbol and there are many things that are different, for example, yes, Al Hilal can easily take 3rd place but in this football I see things very volatile, that is, anything can happen, it reminds me of the 2nd Bundesliga when the season is ending.

Rangers flop in stunning Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr transfer link

That's right, anything can happen because the difference of one point is also not too far, there is still a chance for Al Nassr. It's just that Al-Nassr chances depend on other teams I mean Al Hilal, in May Ittihad will play against Al Hilal and statistically Ittihad often has difficulty against them, there is a possibility for Al Hilal will win three points at there.

I was thinking the same way until I learned that Ronaldo was brought to assist the team and not to do the overall work.
In PSG,  Neyma,  Messi and mbappe were brought for the same purpose ( trophy win) but if things doesn't turn out that way it still never mean they have failed. I'm seeing that the expectations is too much on Ronaldo's side and it's not too good. But What people will say isn't a problem, cuz it will have nothing to do with Ronaldo's relationship with the club as people already know his capability.

I believe this is the ""price a player will pay"".
For example, like me, many people around the world imagined that Cristiano Ronaldo would work "miracles" during the championship or that Al-Nassr would be an indestructible team. But that didn't happen, only 1 single player can't carry the team on his back, it RARELY happens

Look at the team of Brazil, Portugal or Argentina as an example (not in the 2022 cup), but all teams had the best players in the world and look back at the 2014 world cup, Germany beat Brazil and won the cup 2014, and your players? Some players from Germany were exceptional, but they had a team that fit together, had chemistry and were an excellent team.

I believe that what I said above can apply to Al-Nassr's team, not that this will happen in the Saudi championship, but I wanted to share it to say that no player can do miracles.

The fact is, currently, Ronaldo is playing in the Saudi Pro League as a striker from the Al Nassr club.

Even before that, not many clubs really wanted him after his interview with Piers Morgan, he kind of ended his own career after making a very controversial statement. attacking his own club, which in the end Ronaldo closed the possibility of playing in the top European league clubs. even though Mendes has worked hard to offer it to almost many clubs, he is even willing to cut his salary by 30%. even so, none of the clubs really want him, all the news related is just rumours.

which in the end, Ronaldo accepted Al Nassr's offer. instead, he gets a very fantastic salary. then, with what Ronaldo paid if not with achievements and brought Al Nassr to win a trophy. whatever criticism and ridicule came his way, he had to ignore it. his job is to play football and bring out all the remnants of his best abilities that he has, therefore he gets a large salary reward.

What you say is probably true because Ittihad played consistently so far only lost once and their goal productivity is also high
But because the difference in points between the two teams is one point then anything can happen at the end of the season
Ittihad and Al Nasr can depend on luck who knows in the remaining matches they get a draw or lose.

al hilal will definitely be ranked 3rd until the end of the season, because as we can see, they have only had 19 matches while the other teams have had 21 matches, regarding the competition between al nassr and al ittihad at the top of the standings, I doubt al nassr will be lucky to be able to shift al ittihad because so far they are very good and stable, al ittihad is a tough team.

I somewhat agree with you, there is little doubt that Al Nassr will win the league trophy this season because one point difference is indeed a little but if Ittihad can maintain well all the remaining matches where only 9 matches remain then it becomes useless what is achieved by Al Nassr.
Al Nassr must really want to get the championship trophy this season because the last time they won was the 2018-2019 season then Al Hilal who became the champion in a row because it was noted that they were quite dominating in the Saudi Pro League.
The most obvious thing that Ronaldo has given is that the Arab League broadcasting has become quite widespread, although maybe only when his club is playing to be the most anticipated especially for viewers outside Arabia.

I agree about this, Ronaldo really brings a big impact. Al Nassr becomes more popular instantly and many people begin to know their players. But I assume Ronaldo still can't improve the chance for Al Nassr to win Saudi Pro League title/trophy.

There are still some tough matches for Al Nassr and the remaining matches are only 9 remaining matches. I'm not sure about the chance of Al Nassr winning the league title. Although they keep winning all the remaining matches, they are still unable to win it if Al Ittihad also wins all the remaining matches. TBH, the defeat from Al Ittihad on matchday 20 is a very big loss. Al Nassr needs a miracle to lead the league again.
