The match is over already. Sure, Al Nassr won (Al Nassr 4 - 0 Al Raed). Ronaldo only scored 1 goal, but it showed that he can contribute well in this match. However, this winning won't change anything, Al Nassr is still in 2nd place because Al Ittihad leads with 3 point difference. Al Ittihad also has 1 unplayed match, if they won it they will lead with 6 point difference again. Today Al Nassr got a good result, sadly it can't make them improve their position.
Indeed if see at the current standings, Al-Nassr winning doesn't change anything, they are still in second place but at least they success to win, If they draw or lose on that match it will surely disappoint their fans again. Yes Ittihad has one unplayed match, also their next match looks easy because head to head Ittihad is better rather than Taawoun, it seems like they can win and got three points although play away.
Ronaldo will carry the this league with Al-Nassr, it's possible they can still lift the title. But Let's wait till the end of the season, Ronaldo is Making wave in the league with 12 goals. This is amazing, he's the goat and he's dedicated to lift his first trophy in the Saudi Arabia league.
The way people criticised Ronaldo I didn't expect he will perform well up to this level.  But for sure Ronaldo has done very well in performance in Al Nassr.  Al Nassr still have chance to make it to win the League,  Al Nassr games have been interesting this season having christiano Ronaldo.
ronaldo performance was amazing he made his team win by 4-0
sometime Ronaldo is such a super star and in the next match he is just unrecognizable due to his weak performance

I haven't watched the game, but can anyone explain whether this additional time was justified? They almost played a third half in that game... But al-Shabab had their chances. The way he gave away that Panenka penalty is a shame. I don't know why soccer players feel the urge to look cool when they take a penalty instead of simply score. Kick the ball in and that's it. This tricky stuff or weird foot movement by players like Neymar is ridiculous and then they even fail to score. But still rewarding Ittihad a penalty in the 106th minute is weird. I wouldn't have given it to them.
al ittihad's last goal occurred in the 90+16 minute and to be honest this surprised me, actually it was like entering the extra time round at a big event lol. if only al ittihad did not get a penalty then they would have ended in a draw with al shabab. al ittihad are getting stronger at the top and it is very likely that they will become champions this season.

Are we 100% sure about that, how are you so sure about it? I mean you literally said "had nothing to do with it" like you are certain about it. However, before manager was sacked, we literally saw people talk about Ronaldo not being happy about the manager, and then a few days later we saw the manager being sacked, that makes me feel like there was some connection somehow, not saying there was, I can't also provide a concrete proof that it was him that wanted the manager to be sacked neither, so I can't say it was him, but I also can't say it had nothing to do with him neither.

This is a deal where we can't possibly know if it was him or not, so we should not be certain about what we think, maybe it was him, maybe it wasn't we can't know.
We should all know that Ronaldo will influence most of the policies that his club will follow. There are indications that Ronaldo was not pleased with Rudi's tactics. Sacking the coach is not the right decision because he was not underperforming. The club is second in the pro league and they have been winning matches.

Ronaldo seems to always cause confusion and a problem anywhere he goes and always wants to control the club. He is always complaining and showing signs of dissatisfaction with the club's results and tactics. Let's see what  Dinko Jelicic will achieve but his biggest challenge might be how to please the defacto coach: Cristiano Ronaldo.

Is it actually public knowledge that Ronaldo contributed to Rudi getting sacked or is that just rumors? I know that as soon as a coach has to go and Ronaldo plays in that club, people claim that Ronaldo played a role. Now some news outlets claim that Ronaldo said he wants Zidane or Mourinho, but seriously that is delusional. Unless they pay Zidane a couple of hundred million he is not going to coach the Saudi team. Money can achieve everything I know, but this would be against all expectations regardless. Imagine Zidane sitting on the bench for Al-Nassr after winning three Champions League trophies with Real Madrid. It wouldn't feel right for me as a soccer fan.

Well, it's obvious that perhaps CR7 has a certain decision about the team because of the quality it represents and the respect they have for it in Arabia, they should really be happy about it, thanks to him the Saudi League is so famous now, they think that if he hadn't been in that team would be so successful now the Saudi league? I don't think so, also with the ugly experience he had at United, he doesn't want to go through that again, obviously he wants someone who understands his style of play more, and it could be Zidane, Mou because they know what he can give, . but I don't think that if he did it, it was with bad intentions, it's just that he now has and wants to feel comfortable, I don't blame him if he really did it.

Al Ittihad scored a goal early in the match but did not get another chance before half time. Al Sahbab made a call your next time but their defenders were too strong. And despite a massive attack, neither team managed to score a full game. However, the number of fouls in yesterday's game was the highest among the two teams, and Zakaria, a player of Al Ittihad, went into extra time and received a red card. There was a lot of fear for the visitors at the midway point but the game went into a long extra 17 minutes and Al Ittihad managed to score a late goal to level the match at 2-1. Abderrrazak is the Ittihad all-rounder who managed to score two goals in this match.
Yo, so I caught that Al Ittihad vs Al Shabab showdown, right? A veritable emotional seesaw! At intermission, I was biting my nails for Al Ittihad – those infractions and the red card had me perspiring like a marathoner. But whoa, they turned the tables in those bonus 17 minutes, huh? That last-minute strike was pure poetry in motion!

Now, let's chat about Abderrrazak, the jack-of-all-trades! Netting a brace in a single match? That's legendary, my friend. It's a testament that it ain't always about the number of chances, but how you seize 'em. Sure, Al Shabab might've peppered the goal, but Al Ittihad made their mark when the stakes were sky-high
I feel like it was a sided game by the ref for sure, both penalties were not a penalty and Ittihad was helped to win that game. I do not know if there is a thing going on in Saudi league about that at all, I mean if there are any talks among the fans even before Ronaldo, we all have nations where we say refs support a team over another, and it looks like Ittihad definitely deserved to lose this game and played horribly.

Shabab on the other hand scored one, and an idiot tried penenka for the second, if not for that and the fake penalties for Ittihad, this game was totally different. In the end I am guessing that the result will be much different in the end. Hopefully we will move to another level and the league ending will be much more close.

I haven't watched the game, but can anyone explain whether this additional time was justified? They almost played a third half in that game... But al-Shabab had their chances. The way he gave away that Panenka penalty is a shame. I don't know why soccer players feel the urge to look cool when they take a penalty instead of simply score. Kick the ball in and that's it.

I wouldn't have given it to them.

In particular, the amount of extra time they are given in soccer games has always caught my attention, I would like to know why the referees make that decision, in Europe the most I have seen they have given is 10 minutes, Well, unless something very extraordinary happened in the game that they lost a lot of time and that justifies it, that's what I understand that they can give a lot of extra time.

The way people criticised Ronaldo I didn't expect he will perform well up to this level.  But for sure Ronaldo has done very well in performance in Al Nassr.  Al Nassr still have chance to make it to win the League,  Al Nassr games have been interesting this season having christiano Ronaldo.

Many media have criticized Ronaldo's performance since joining Al-Nassr and the media say since Ronaldo was there, Al-Nassr has been eliminated this season in various competitions in the Middle East. What is clear is that this is his first season with Al-Nassr, it is still very natural for him to continue to adapt with the other players and also his new coach.

On the other hand, in 12 matches with 12 goals, it clearly proves his capacity which has been a goat in football. I think yesterday's big win against Al-Raed will continue to be a significant record for Ronaldo with Al-Nassr in the next match later. Regarding the struggle for the SPL title this season, Al-Nassr's chances are still there because the point distance from Al-Ittihad is still relatively small.

This has been discussed over and over again in this thread since it was created because of the certainty of his contract at Al Nassr, and also what has been widely reported by online media around the world, but it seems that it is not 100% true after the recent interview from Al Nassr president regarding the presence Ronaldo at his club after being eliminated in the King's Cup.
Al-Nassr president slams Cristiano Ronaldo as he regrets signing the Portuguese star

For some reason, criticism that is conveyed publicly will only make things not get better, and this will probably have an even more impact on Al Nassr's appearance, who still need all the wins in the remaining matches this season to keep their chances as league champions, even though that will also depend on the results that Ittihad FC got.
Is it possible that we will see a reply to this criticism from Ronaldo? or he will answer by putting in a better performance so that what his club wishes for his presence does come true, although it seems to me that it won't happen this season maybe next season, because at the moment a title for Al Nassr is a bit impossible to achieve because the results are also determined by other teams.
I don't think they regret because they signed a contract with Cristiano Ronaldo but the main issue is they agreed to pay him too high salary which is ridiculously high in my opinion. The player actually brought massive effects for Al Nassr in marketing, for the Saudi Professional League and more for Middle East football. However the cost they spent for this deal is too high and maybe it is what they regret.

I think if they have chance to revert time and remake the deal, they will still sign with Cristiano but with lower salary offer for him. Is money important for clubs in Saudi Arabia, I don't know.

Al Nasr is out of the cup and the president has resigned, so yes, in general we can say that the club has achieved attention and fame.

It's a very strange decision to buy such an old player with such a difficult character, who over the years becomes more and more intolerant of others, does not like to lose and spoils the atmosphere in the team with constant squabbles and selfish actions.
I don't know if accusing the team performance on a single player is right. I know the difference between their positions, chances before and after Cristiano appearance in Al Nassr but will they have at a better position in Saudi Professional League without Ronaldo and the same in some cub competitions?

Honestly I believe nobody can say about that. They only look at the past and the present to compare with so many assumptions and likely prejudices that Cristiano Ronaldo is a main problem at any club he plays for at his 38 age.

Yes, I did see Al Ittihad take against Al Shabab. It was like riding an emotional seesaw. I was sweating like a marathon runner and chewing my nails at halftime because of Al Ittihad's violations and red card. But holy cow, in those extra 17 minutes they really turned the tables, huh? That winning goal was like a work of moving poetry.

Let's talk about Abderrrazak, the man who can do it all, right now. Getting two goals in a single game? That, my dear, is legendary. It's proof that success depends less on luck than on making the most of the opportunities presented to you. While Al Shabab got a few shots on goal, Al Ittihad came through when it mattered most.

There is this quote that is floating around and I searched but I always see "reportedly" results and not directly him saying it so maybe it is just making fun of these things and not reality but I wanted to ask here. There is these talks that is going around saying Al-Nassr club owner said "I got scammed twice in my life before, once when I ordered 3 kebabs and got 2 instead, and the other is when we paid for Ronaldo".

I am sure that it is just fun, but I have seen it in so many places that at first I thought it was a joke, but after seeing it 100th time I wanted to ask if that is true or not. If it is true, that is going to be a big trouble and Ronaldo may leave without a doubt, but if it is fake then there is no reason to leave right away, plus if he leaves even from here, then it could be hard for him to find another club as well.

Considering how much Al Nassr paid for Ronaldo it's the worst transfer of the year.
Ronaldo was brought to the club not just for on-the-pitch performance. He came to the club to give the club and the league more publicity and attention. And the club has achieved that. He has also served as a mentor to so many players in Al Nassr because they have learned some things from him. I think the club should be patient with him.
This has been discussed over and over again in this thread since it was created because of the certainty of his contract at Al Nassr, and also what has been widely reported by online media around the world, but it seems that it is not 100% true after the recent interview from Al Nassr president regarding the presence Ronaldo at his club after being eliminated in the King's Cup.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Raed, currently Al-Nassr is leading with a one score by Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems like this match will be won by Al-Nassr, because they are also more in control of this game with 63% Ball Possession in the first half and a few more shots attempt rather than Al-Raed. But in the second half Al-Nassr must be able scored again to secure three points, because I think 1-0 is not a safe score for them.
The match is over already. Sure, Al Nassr won (Al Nassr 4 - 0 Al Raed). Ronaldo only scored 1 goal, but it showed that he can contribute well in this match. However, this winning won't change anything, Al Nassr is still in 2nd place because Al Ittihad leads with 3 point difference. Al Ittihad also has 1 unplayed match, if they won it they will lead with 6 point difference again. Today Al Nassr got a good result, sadly it can't make them improve their position.



Ronaldo opened the match with a goal and once he opened it was for sure they were gonna win. They played an amazing game plus Ronaldo played really good and showed that with his age he is still a top class player. But still i dont think they can reach first place its not in their hands anymore.
Al-Nassr have recorded the win 4-0 against Al-Raed and once again the points have come closer with the first position holding Al-Ittihad. With this win the upcoming match of Al-Nassr vs Al-khaleej have got importance. On the other side Al-Ittihad vs Al-Taawoun have got importance. Both the matches were in favour of Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, but unexpected results could make the table turn interesting. I expect Al-Taawoun to be giving tough competence against Al-Ittihad.

Abderrrazak is the Ittihad all-rounder who managed to score two goals in this match.


Apparently, I forgot about this one fight. too bad, I forgot. but if I refer to the statistics of this match. this match, according to my previous predictions. but unfortunately, I completely forgot that there was an exciting match between Al Ittihad vs Al Shabab. referring to your statistics, the course of the match Al Shabab controlled 67% ball possession, 22 total shots, 5 on target, 11 shots off target, 6 shots blocked.

Conversely, Al Itthad does not have as many opportunities as Al Shabab. recorded, they had 10 total shots, 7 of which were on target, 2 were off target, 1 was blocked. as I thought, that Al Shabab would dominate the game more. too bad, Al Shabab struggled to equalize despite having so many opportunities. in the end, AlIttihad was able to widen the gap in points from the other teams below their ranking. even though I suspect that this fight will end in a draw or won by Al Shabab.

So, the only team that could become a stumbling block to Al Ittihad is Al Hilal. but actually there are still 6 matches left, we will see how Al Ittihad's consistency will be until the end of this season.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Raed, currently Al-Nassr is leading with a one score by Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems like this match will be won by Al-Nassr, because they are also more in control of this game with 63% Ball Possession in the first half and a few more shots attempt rather than Al-Raed. But in the second half Al-Nassr must be able scored again to secure three points, because I think 1-0 is not a safe score for them.

It would probably be more correct to say that the team needs changes and it would be better to let Ronaldo go somewhere or rent him out. Lately, when he comes to any team scandals begin at once. Apparently his big ego is bigger than his talent and skill. Leaving Manchester accompanied the scandal, but at this club and opened him as a real player and even in a solid age for a footballer taken to the team, but in the end got scandals and not a very bright game.

When he joined Al Nassr everyone said he would score almost 15 goals a game and that this league was "weak" for Ronaldo, but in the end it seems he was dragging Al Nassr down.
Although Ronaldo has some character flaws that have really affected his career negatively I don't think it is time for him to leave Al Nassr. Ronaldo is 38 years and cannot replicate his past performance as he did in Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, so I think the club and its fans are expecting too much from an aged player. He needs more quality players to assist him to score more goals. He might not be able to create chances but with his experience, I know he can score goals.

Considering how much Al Nassr paid for Ronaldo it's the worst transfer of the year.
Ronaldo was brought to the club not just for on-the-pitch performance. He came to the club to give the club and the league more publicity and attention. And the club has achieved that. He has also served as a mentor to so many players in Al Nassr because they have learned some things from him. I think the club should be patient with him.
Al Nasr is out of the cup and the president has resigned, so yes, in general we can say that the club has achieved attention and fame.

It's a very strange decision to buy such an old player with such a difficult character, who over the years becomes more and more intolerant of others, does not like to lose and spoils the atmosphere in the team with constant squabbles and selfish actions.
I hope that on the sales of t-shirts, souvenirs and tickets the club was able to get some money back from the transfer of Ronaldo, otherwise everyone who was involved in the transfer should be fired from the club.

I feel like winning the title or not is not really important from business point of view. The money paid to Ronaldo was not just so Al Nassr could be good, it was paid to make sure the league gets more views, and does the league game more views? It does. Even Al Ittihad games with other teams gets more views these days, they didn't get Ronaldo, they are not playing against him neither, and yet getting more views.

Because Ronaldo is fighting against them as well. So all in all why they get Ronaldo is a smart move and works, right now the whole league is watched more and that type of marketing superseeds getting more wins, it doesn't really matter. I feel like they can lose the league, and still be better than Ronaldoless situation where they win the league. I rather be watched x100 more and lose than win and watched 100x less.
