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.
It is not as people expected, I assume people want to see Al-Nassr win the match. Sadly, Al-Nassr only gets 1 point although they have Ronaldo in the lineup. In my opinion, we can't blame Ronaldo, he must already struggle to win the match. But it is a football match, to win the match can't rely on 1 player only. It is all about how the performance of the whole players. I think Al Nassr players are overconfident, so they forget that it is a disaster to underestimate the opponent. They think with Ronaldo, they must win the match. In fact, Ronaldo cannot win the match without a solid game among the whole players.

I still believe CR7 will shine like he does in all teams. He needs to find a rhythm. People who were expecting him to appear soon had no idea what they were talking about. Anyone who knows football can see how much he tries. He just doesn't have good support. If we attribute the negative impact to just coincidence, I think. If you want to be sporty, you judge that Al Nassr's defense is also still very weak and many players pass inaccurately.
Ronaldo lost the enthusiasm that characterized him. In the last match with Al Nassr, he missed many clear scoring opportunities and wasn't able to lead the team to win the match. Some Saudi journalists who are fans of Al Nassr started attacking him, saying why we pay 200 million per year for a player who can't score these opportunities. They added, the team was better before the arrival of Ronaldo. Indeed, a player who won everything with Real Madrid won't be excited about winning an Asian league. He may be good for other things like advertisements and selling T-shirts, but he won't be good in the field IMO.

It's unreasonable to expect that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance while playing at Real Madrid will happen at Al-Nassr, mate. Even if he's found his rhythm like you said, I'm not sure he'll be able to find his form again (caused by age factor).

Did you really read what I wrote earlier, mate? Even before Cristiano Ronaldo came, Al-Nassr had better performances, so, can't we call it "Cristiano Ronaldo made a bad impact on Al-Nassr" ?.
I fully agree with your analysis here. Saying that a player who was shining at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus Turin, will also shine at Al Nassr, should probably first define what "shine" means. If shining is just to score the most goals or to do the most amazing tricks, maybe Ronaldo can do that. But back in his old days when he faced European teams in the Champions League, that is when a player can shine.
For example, on March 12th 2019 when he turned around a 0-2 in the CL against Atletico Madrid with Juventus and he scored all 3 goals and the audience of both teams applauded him. That is "shine" to me. Turning around games on your own against absolute world class teams, that is impressive.
And as MAAManda already said, he won't be delivering the same way he delivered when he was in his mid or late 20s. That is one big difference between Messi and him btw: Messi isn't playing anymore the way he played when he was 25. His style changed significantly and he is a real team player. That is a role Ronaldo was never able to take on and that was probably one of his weaknesses.
Will he impress the Saudi Arabian people anyway? Yes he will because he is still a great player in many respects. But we won't get to see in Saudi Arabia what we got to see from him in Europe. Age is one reason, but a team that knows how to put someone in the limelight in the best possible way is also another factor.

Congratulations on Cristiano Ronaldo first goal for Al-Nassr in SPL, with the goal he made, it worked to at least make Al-Nassr not lose full points in the match against Al-Fateh. But I'm really confused about what's happening to Al-Nassr at the moment, is Cristiano Ronaldo really having a negative impact on the team?
If we look at the statistics for the Al-Fateh Vs Al-Nassr match, Al-Nassr should have deserved to be the winner in that match. But instead of win, they could only get 1 point. Besides that, if we look at the history of Al-Fateh and Al-Nassr's meetings, even in their last 2 meetings Al-Nassr was able to win over Al-Fateh. I mean, why did all this happen after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr?

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.
Ronaldo and the penalty goal. Ronaldo is most criticized for this. Some use condescending phrases like Penaldo to him. In this match, he scored his first goal in the Saudi Professional League from a penalty. I don't think he's very happy with this situation.
Also, in the match he was very nervous. He wanted his teammates to throw every ball at him throughout the match. When his teammates didn't throw the ball at him, he constantly raised his hands and made rebellious movements. I don't think he looked happy.
He was really nervous the entire match because he didnt score any goals until now. He scored from a penalty but missed so many chances that it is dissapointing. They are paying him millions and he just cannot score in such a weak league and yet he is playing for the best team in the league.

Cristiano Ronaldo will always be the target of the media when he can't do anything and luckily he scored a goal from the spot in that game. However, the scathing comments from social media users who hate Cristiano Ronaldo still comment negatively. Indeed, Ronaldo is a selfish and ambitious player, so when his friend doesn't want to give him a pass, he will definitely be annoyed, but on the other hand, even if he is given a pass, he can't use it. I hope in the next game he can be more humble. Also, in the match he was very nervous. He wanted his teammates to throw every ball at him throughout the match. When his teammates didn't throw the ball at him, he constantly raised his hands and made rebellious movements. I don't think he looked happy.
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.
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.

I'm not sure but from what I can see Ronaldo scored his first goal with Al-Nassr in the games because all the other goals I saw before in this team were in the pieces of training. That's why he also tweeted about the game 'I'm Happy To Have Scored My First Goal' --Ronaldo. He is much more expensive compared to other teammates so maybe people were expecting to even see him scoring goals and they want to see him make them win the game which is what a start like Ronaldo could do in the good old days.

in the next fight at least Al-Nassr will face an opponent who is not too strong, namely Al-Wehda. and it is hoped that Al-Nassr will be able to get full points in this fight. But not only Al-Nassr who has an easy enough opponent in the next match. but it seems that Al-Shabab will also be able to get full points back in the match against Al-Batin. and the chances of victory for al-Shabab vs Al-Batin even seem to be far greater than the chances of victory for Al-Nassr vs Al-Wehda. because Al-Batin has never even tasted victory this season.

Anything about ronaldo would be increasing the traffic for the media. I would not be surprised that ronaldo got so many blames if he was not able to make the goals. I have seen some memes about him too. I see a video that shows that al nassr fans was stomping on ronaldo's jersey. Im not sure if that was real al nassr supporter or not but how dumb people who have expecting something big to come from ronaldo which was not young anymore.
Those who blame ronaldo must be so dumb. they think football is only about ronaldo making goal against its opponent.

With such a fantastic salary, Ronaldo must prove that he is still worthy. at least, he should "contribute" to his new club. but unfortunately, Ronaldo has not been able to give his skills, as the coach and All Nassr fans want "at his current age". Obviously, this caused a lot of reactions from fans and football lovers. even criticism came from within the team itself, the coach Rudi Garcia was not happy with All Nassr's defeat against Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup. the presence of Ronaldo, did not have a big impact on the performance of the All Nassr team.
I think it's only natural that his fans expect something big from him. the reason is, in an interview session with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo said that he could still score a lot of goals. apart from all that, anything related to Ronaldo, still seems to be hot news for sports media journalists.
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.

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.I think it's only natural that his fans expect something big from him. the reason is, in an interview session with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo said that he could still score a lot of goals. apart from all that, anything related to Ronaldo, still seems to be hot news for sports media journalists.
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.
I also agree with this view. Also, Cristiano Ronaldo has just gone to SPL. We have to give him some time to get used to the league, this country and this country's climate. Just a few months ago, he was playing football at the top level in the English Premier League. Of course, he will also show his skills in SPL and win matches for Al Nassr. I don't doubt Cristiano Ronaldo. I just don't think we should be hasty.
If I read the stats of him in the official An Nassr match he has already played twice not even made a goal he also disappointed many An Nassr supporters for failing to make the Arab Super Cup Final. Actually, I didn't find any major changes, he was still the same playing time at United. He can't make good use of his strengths and maybe he reckons playing in Arabia will be easier. But the reality is that until now he has not been able to make a goal. If this happened, he should have been aware that the golden age was up. Moreover this is proof that Ronaldo has started to run out and is just selfish which makes him feel still capable of competing even in Europe.
unfortunately these arabs and cristiano ronaldo himself seem to prefer to close their eyes to a problem that has no solution, and this problem i'm talking about is that cristiano ronaldo is no longer old enough to play, it's not hard to see that, let's look for him 3 years ago and let's make a comparison with him today, it's clear that he can't score many goals anymore due to his age, but because of his money and inflated ego, he can't retire, even playing in a weak league that he has weak players and teams he can't score many goals.
And why doesn't he score many goals?
because he is old. he played for manchester united and couldn't score many goals anymore, he played in the world cup and couldn't score many goals, it's obvious that his age is no longer enough to continue playing
Even in this rip age - he is more stronger than many of the players.

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.
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.

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.although Al-nassr was able to dominate the match more.

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.Jump to:
