LOL.. I don't understand many of the previous posts. Ronaldo is human. He is not machine to score goals in each and every match. The match on Sunday was quite tough, with the Ettifaq defenders managing to block several attacks from the Al Nassr players. The latter won the match anyway. It was the first match within SPL for Ronaldo and therefore I am not much concerned about the fact that he didn't scored. Al Nassr doesn't need any miracles from Ronaldo other than attracting fan support and global viewership. They are already on the top of the points table.
You are right An Nassr brought Ronaldo to the club at a huge cost not to create miracles and help the club to be able to win matches in the league but rather to bring in money through broadcasts because Ronaldo's fan base is very large and it can bring other things to Arab football, just because he is famous for his sharpness, goals from him will always be eagerly awaited.

fans' expectations of Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nassr are quite large. their opponents have a solid defense and know full well that Ronaldo is dangerous. they put up an excellent defense and left Ronaldo with no chance to score.
score or not, he has played the full game and certainly contributed like any other player. we may not be able to exaggerate Ronaldo's performance. but fans and media always make it look special.

In that case they will be doing the same mistake that happened with the Portugal national team during Qatar 2022. Ronaldo had a couple of bad matches and the manager (Fernando Santos) responded by dropping him from the team. It worked well with one of their matches (against Switzerland), but backfired when they played against Morocco. They need to understand that when Ronaldo is in the field, all the attention from opposing defenders will be on him. And this allows the other forwards in his team to play more freely. His contribution to the matches can't be measured solely using the number of goals that are scored.
They just need to adaptation each other to be which solid team, as far as I know the first debut is also not always good wherever it is, but in that match Ronaldo was quite good. He didn't make many bad mistake, even led this match with serious as captain. 
The next match it seems like will be difficult for Al-Nassr because against Al-fateh, they have the great striker Firas al-Buraikan, this young man is quite good on the field and maybe also have potential to be a great player.

That shouldn't have happened, or, is it true that Cristiano Ronaldo had a bad impact on Al-Nassr?. Well, we'll see if what you said about adaptation is true or not in the next matches of Al-Nassr.
BTW, do you think having Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr will make Al-Nassr the SPL champion this season? Because the last time Al-Nassr won the SPL was during the 2018/2019 season.

@Sithara007 while a lot of fuss is being made about Ronaldo not scoring, but how about the fact that he had made nice assists but unfortunately those didn’t get converted in goal. Furthermore Ronaldo these day’s is just not about goals, he can assist too and inspire his teammates to win because of his champions mentality hence for me he had a decent game and thus I see no need to be behind him for not scoring goals in his debut match for his new club.

I don't think a player has to play a certain time to be a captain of a team, he has been the captain for Portugal before and he has the best experience in "better" leagues, so I don't see a problem with him being captain despite being new.
A captain being chosen to lead other players in the club. Ronaldo has a lot of experience in football. He has been chosen as a captain due to his experience. Ronaldo has ever become captain of real madrid. The thing that must become the main concern by al nassr is after ronaldo was coming to the al nassr and so many passes were going to him. Rudi Garcia as al nassr's coach even emphasizes its player play normally like there's no special position for ronaldo. I saw that from his debut if he was always getting passes from his teammates. Al nassr needs to play normally like before ronaldo was coming to the club. Ronaldo was seeking a private chef for him.
bytheway what his gf does - she should cook some food for him
If he wont get good food he won't be happy
the management should surely make some arrangement
Couldn't know the update news if Ronaldo got a cooker for his personal work, Ronaldo might be able to solve his personal problems very soon.If he wont get good food he won't be happy
the management should surely make some arrangement
An interesting fact is that we might think that Ronaldo's girlfriend Georgina will cook fun items for Ronaldo but in reality they never go into the kitchen room. Maybe it can cook something special but for everyday cooking a cooker is definitely needed.
As far as we know Ronaldo is very conservative about his health. A few days ago, replacing the bottle of Coca-Cola with a bottle of water carries an important signal of its health rules. Ronaldo doesn't like soft drinks he always drinks pure water. He always eats healthy food. So the Saudi authorities are trying to solve its problems very quickly.
Ronaldo enthusiasm and energy is on top right now after soo much respect and love from Arab league. He seems to be extremely happy and satisfied with his participation in Al Nassr.
CR7 seems to have regained his soul on the pitch, but he is not as sharp as a few years ago and was visible until the 70++ minute, he still has not scored a goal against Ettifaqlooks like al nassr will only win narrowly 1-0 against ettifaq today
the game ended in a draw, I realized something very interesting which was the fact that ronaldo was captain of the team and he didn't even play many games, this is his first game, so why did he already become captain? I don't know what kind of criteria these teams in that league use when choosing the team's captain, but I think they had to choose the oldest player on the team to be captain, that player next to cristiano ronaldo,
They are good enough as a team even without Ronaldo, they were leading the league before he came along, I am not expecting him to be that much of a difference if you ask me in the result department. I am not saying he will be bad, of course Ronaldo will be a great player for them, and I think he is going to learn to play with his teammates and how they play and they are going to win the title with the help of Ronaldo for sure, I see them as inevitable champions.
What I am just trying to explain is that, if they didn't get Ronaldo, they would still win it no matter what, they would still be champions even without him, which is why I think they didn't get Ronaldo for success, they got him for PR.

Becoming captain of this match because he hopes that with Ronaldo's presence Al Nassr will be more motivated, more consistent, to a high level and win the Asian Champions League. We also know that the development of Al Nassr's game is now in the spotlight of the world public. now More than 30 TV channels, all CR7 fans around the world can watch Al Nassr matches.

The first debut and first win for Cristiano Ronaldo when he became the starting line-up for Al-Nassr vs Al-Ettifaq last night. In this match, Cristiano Ronaldo also carried out an important task as captain of Al-Nassr, even though he didn't score in his debut match, this result was good enough for the team to win. Still waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo's progress in the next match, I hope he can score goals in the next match later.
Even though Al-Nassr got 3 points against Ettifaq, it was a bad result (IMO). With several world class players + Cristiano Ronaldo they can only score 1 goal. Apart from that, Al-Nassr also really dominated that game with 68% ball possession. Al-Nassr should have won with a score of at least 3 goals. Well, hopefully in the next match we can see a better performance from Al-Nassr and also at least a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The next match it seems like will be difficult for Al-Nassr because against Al-fateh, they have the great striker Firas al-Buraikan, this young man is quite good on the field and maybe also have potential to be a great player. Ronaldo's real effect could appear in stronger matches, like the match against Al Hilal, who have been dominating the SPL for years, so by then, we will see if he's able to serve the team. Apart from this, I don't think he can compete for the highest scorer in the next season, because his physical status doesn't help him to play every match, and the other teams have high quality strikers. Actually, one of them is Talisca, who scored the only goal of the recent match.
Age really can't lie, that CR7's sharpness is reduced, just look at his kicks several times wide of the goal and that is beyond the expectations of many fans, it looks like CR7 will end his career at AL Nassrbut the big effect that CR7 made on Al Nassr was also extraordinary, the competition with Al Hilal was getting tougher

Yes, the SPL competition is very far in quality when compared to the league competition that has been conquered by Cristiano Ronaldo so far and of course adaptation also takes a long time. But so far I think Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to get through that adaptation period in a fairly quick time and of course I also want to see his name on the top scorer list next season. For now to be able to contribute a lot to Al-Nassr I think that is enough for Cristiano Ronaldo.

You cannot expect him to adapt that soon to a Championship much lower in quality than the ones he has played so far.Nevertheless he played a good game I think and the team won which makes me think that the progress he will have with Al Nassr is going to be really good and we can only expect a really large number of goals scored by him in this new adventure.For this to happen he just needs a bit of time,just some games for him to adapt completely to the new team and goals will come and as I said in large quantities.

Al Nassr is giving Ronaldo the honor Manchester United refused to give him. I believe Manchester United was not fair with Ronaldo by not giving him the captaincy ban. Maguire wasn't old enough in the team before he was giving the captain ban ahead of Pogba and Degea. The captainship should have been retrived from him and given to the legendary old boy.

They may have done it to show Ronaldo that they respected him. You can think of this behavior as a show of goodwill. Although professional agreements are signed between clubs and football players, behaviors that appeal to emotions are also needed. In my opinion, it's a behavior that can help Ronaldo adapt to Al Nasrr more quickly.
He was playing in the same league as Salah and Haaland just two months ago. I think Ronaldo needs some time to get used to the Arabian League. Although he is among the best players in the world, he is now in a new league. He'll have to get used to the slow pace of this league.
