Not really understanding how the competition is in the Saudi Pro League, do the weak teams that are struggling in the relegation zone have the ability to compete and be able to provide resistance when facing strong teams and can even win their matches as we usually see in the English Premier League, if the quality the teams are very much different, so when a strong team faces weak teams it will be a certainty to get a win as will happen in the Al-Batin vs Al-Shabab match, so Al-Shabab will be very far in the favorites and also today Al Nassr will compete with a mid-table team, maybe this match will be more interesting because Al Nassr can be replaced at the top of the standings if they get draws or loses because Al-Shabab has a very big chance of winning 3 points on the same day.

True, it looks like this is just a matter of insufficient adaptation time between Al-Nassr's players and Ronaldo. But so far Talisca has been the foundation for scoring goals for Al-Nassr and with the arrival of Ronaldo this task should have been divided properly, so each of these players will continue to help Al-Nassr achieve the best performance this season. But it looks like in Al-Nassr's next match they will not be strengthened by Talisca who was absent due to a red card in the previous match and now Ronaldo has to prove that he is one of the best players of this century and give Al-Nassr fans a win against Al-Wehda in the game tonight.

It is not easy to develop good co-ordination with fellow players, when you are new to the team. Talisca has been the leading scorer for Al Nassr this season. The problem here is that he has never played with Ronaldo before. So it will take some time to develop the team bonding and get used to the style of play. And if I remember correctly, Ronaldo was parachuted directly to the match against PSG. He didn't got much time to get acclimatized to the conditions in Saudi Arabia. But IMO, there is nothing to worry. Ronaldo is a great player and he will find his rhythm very soon.

Yes I totally agree with you. Ronaldo needs one or two players like Mbappe or Neymar and Messi. But I'd say age hasn't stopped Ronaldo yet. Having a partner or two to support him on the pitch will certainly improve Ronaldo's performance. We think his performance is currently poor due to his lack of support partners. Al Nasser has gained a lot of fame in the football world after bringing Ronaldo to the club. If they think that is enough, they are wrong. Al Nasser should sign players like Messi or Neymar to the club, if they can then Al Nasser will be much stronger. They can fight hard against any club and snatch victory.

This is just a matter of time obviously the conditions in Saudi are different from the league in Europe so he needs weather and player adaptation
One thing we should know that Ronaldo is not the type of player who gives up easily, he can do anything to achieve his target
Tomorrow Al Nasr will play an away match so let's see what Ronaldo can do especially when the mainstay player Al Nasr Talisca cannot play and Ronaldo will take a full role.

Yes that's correct. in a soccer game, it takes eleven players. Each player has their own role according to their position and expertise. So, football doesn't only depend on one person and in this case, Ronaldo. but as you said, Ronaldo was brought in by All Nassr to boost the team's overall performance.  especially when it comes to scoring goals and that's why he's on a high salary. so naturally, so all eyes were on Ronaldo who had shone on the European league scene.


Yes, again i agree. Ronaldo can no longer be expected to play like at his young age. Unfortunately, he still has problems with his own ego. in fact, he once said in an interview with Piers Morgan, that he was still capable of scoring tons of goals. now, he plays below the level of European leagues. it should be easy for him, unfortunately he wasn't able to bring out his abilities like he was young. like it or not, Ronaldo has to start adapting at least he can make a big contribution even though he doesn't score in every game. that was all he could do at the moment.

But sorry, marketing what do you mean in this case. fact, his salary sky-high. is it possible, All Nassr will get a much higher profit just for bringing in Ronaldo.

The Saudi Arabian adventure is very new for Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm sure it will be much better after adapting to the league. Cristiano Ronaldo will increase the number of goals scored after scoring in a few games with Al Nassr. We need to see how successful he is in team play, instead of waiting for a football player who has proven himself to the world in terms of quality and dominates the Saudi league on his own. I think he will contribute a lot to his team in terms of attack. Even if he can't score, the gaps created by the defenders who want to defend him can return goals to Al Nasrr.

I agree that it will take time for Ronaldo to get used to this level of playing and his teammates, but we also need to realize that he is not what he used to be, meaning if it takes too much time for him to get used to it, he might be not good enough to matter eventually.

I still think that he will score a lot next season, by that time they will get player that will compliment his style, and I think he will be used to it by then, and it will be much better for him. This year they may end up winning the title, and then next year they will use Ronaldo a lot better and it will be a good situation to be in for him. Let's hope he doesn't get even worse before that.

On the 9th of February we will be having another match in the Saudi Arabia Professional League. The match is between Al Batin and  Al Shabab. Al Batin did not win any of their last five matches in Saudi Arabia Pro League and they registered only 0 win in the last 7 home games at Al-Batin FC Stadium. Al Shabab is in mixed form in Pro League and they won four away games. Al Batin won two times in their past 13 meetings with Al Shabab. Al Shabab will probably dominate Al Batin. Al Shabab are in the 2nd position of Pro League, they are in contention for AFC Champions League.
Al Batin are in the 16th position of Pro League and they are in contention for Relegation. The visiting team has beaten the host team in all their last five meeting, they are also very much in form this season that's to say that they are the most favourite team to win this game.

Do we just have to wait for it to end or is it just the beginning? Certainly, it's time that people stopped criticizing him, but it's also the fault of the team for not raising their game. Ronaldo has made only two appearances and already talks trash. He is good at giving himself enough time, which is the best solution. The team mates who play against Ronaldo should focus more when he is on the pitch. These are all going to take time.

@Fuso.hp I totally agree with you that Ronaldo need’s time to adjust to this new league, and it’s high time that people stop criticising him and just allow him to enjoy playing and give him time to score those goals. Lastly I believe that next season he’ll score many goals when he gets a proper preseason done, and until then all we can do is support him.

I think Ronaldo's form has deteriorated day by day since joining Manchester United. Because we have seen that since Ronaldo joined Manchester United, Manchester United's coach regularly kept him on the side bench outside the field.  As a result, he was mentally broken. Later in the World Cup we saw Portugal's coach put him on the site bench, much to the dismay of all football fans. Basically his biggest mistake is getting into conflict with the coach. But even after overcoming all the troubles and joining Saudi from Europe, Ronaldo's form is not changing but we are hopeful that Ronaldo will return to form soon. And the hopes that the Saudi club has in him will be fulfilled.

You must first understand that Saudi clubs will never match European clubs. The players in European clubs and the players in Saudi clubs are very different in terms of playing skills.  Ronaldo needs some time to adapt to them. Ronaldo will perform well on the field when he can adapt himself to Al Nassr players. The reason behind bringing Ronaldo to the Saudi club is not only that he will score a lot of goals, but also to introduce Saudi football to the football world, which is already known. We all know what kind of player Ronaldo is.  Hopefully he will be back to his normal self soon.

Slow death I get your point and I also think that if Ronaldo behaved a bit better, he could have also been playing for another strong European club maybe for another two years. Perhaps not starting every game, but certainly be part of a strong squad and contribute to his abilities at his age.

Now morals left aside, I must say that if someone offers you half a billion dollars for 2.5 years, it is quite understandable that someone decides to actually sign such a contract. The only fact that could have kept him from signing the contract is that he owned half a billion dollars already himself. But still, the amount of money is so insane that it also requires some insanity to say no.

From an athletic point of view Ronaldo climbed down the ladder several steps. That's in no way to be compared to the top games in the best European leagues.

I agree that they do not depend on Ronaldo alone, but when you pay one player more than you pay all other players combined, you do expect that person to carry your team.

However, Ronaldo is no longer a player that can win games all by himself, and he gets frustrated when his teammates do not score on his passes, this was true back in United too, he passes and expects others to score like how he used to, but nobody can, not even himself. Which is why it's quite expected of him and the team to not get as much as he was paid out of this situation. It's good marketing though, which is all they wanted and they got it, it's amazing marketing and that's all that matters.

On paper, it seems easy for Ronaldo to score more goals considering his achievements in the leagues in Europe. however, that has not been the case so far. Ronaldo has a very fantastic salary, 200 million euros per year. with such a large fee, of course Ronaldo's presence is expected to help Al Nassr become even stronger. however, what happened was the opposite, Ronaldo failed to give his best game.

Rumors are growing, Ronaldo's performance seems to be very disappointing to the Al Nassr club officials. it is very reasonable with such a high fee, if the club expects a lot from Ronaldo to boost All Nassr's performance. related to what you said, that All Nassr really made a big mistake by signing Ronaldo with a fantastic salary. even so, there are still 15 games remaining until the end of this season. and Ronaldo must show his ability, as one of the big stars.

No one was used to Ronaldo like this. Because he could have fought everything alone. But we haven't been seeing that lately. He is old now, and his old strength, unfortunately, is absent. Frankly, I am also surprised by this situation. Zlatan Ibrahimovic also managed to do this, despite the fact that he is old. He never lost the leadership and continued his success. I would have expected such a performance from Cristiano Ronaldo as well. He needs to adapt to the team and the country as soon as possible and add another championship to his career. At least he can win a championship on a different continent and finish his career that way.

Well the truth is I'm a big fan of CR7, but I don't know what's wrong with him, the truth is we've all been expecting a lot from him, and just as I'm impartial, I know that CR7 played much better when it was their turn to play the friendly match against PSG, and not against the team that really should have beaten them and show them what he was made of, I don't know, but I think that CR7 should react, and yes, I know that the team plays in favor of CR7, but he should show much more He has to do what he did, demonstrate and see that beautiful game that he has always made, that dribbling that he does, everything that has to do with the great goals, honestly he has to react now.


This is very complicated, the truth is that everyone thinks or expects CR7 to shine as if he were the only one and they are partly right, what we have been used to seeing CR7 I know is the case, but there is not much to hope for, football It's a team sport, yes, I know a player can excel, but sometimes all the pressure can be felt by him too, and he knows that every step he takes with the ball is very detailed and recorded at its best, and that can Being a double-edged sword, everyone is aware of what he does or does not do, he is a star, but he is also a human, he can be wrong and maybe there are things in him that he wants to do better but no maybe, I know it sounds trite, but I'll go back and repeat, CR7 lost a baby and maybe that hasn't completely overcome him and he has it that way, because it's the only explanation I give to what's happening to him.
In case I'm wrong, I don't know what else could be affecting him, because the problem with women, I think that has nothing to do with it, even though he's in a country where he can have several, but Georgina won't accept it ..

Ronaldo was nothing. Al nassr will not have a problem even if ronaldo didn't go to the club. People are too lazy to do some research if al nassr is always having a good history in the saudi premier league

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Nassr_FC

Wikipedia just gives it all. The money that has been spent to buy him is for marketing purposes only. The come of ronaldo was making al nassr perform very badly. It's caused by the ball getting centralized on him.

The competitor of al nassr, al hilal is still the most favorite club in saudi league.

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.
