If Neymar had paid the necessary attention to football, he could have had more. The team preferences of star players when they go to the Saudi league are very important. Ronaldo, despite trying very hard, has difficulty winning trophies and his team is not good compared to other teams. The strengths of the teams in the Saudi league are very different from each other and this is clearly evident in these matches.

The team does not start playing well immediately by getting a star player. Therefore, it is important to establish a good squad as a team. The quality differences between the players in the teams in the Saudi league should not be too far apart.

I feel like Ronaldo will probably regret staying here if this keeps happening. I am not sure if he wants to continue playing football after this year, but if he does want that then I feel like he should find some other team, because Al Nassr is basically not taking things seriously. They got Ronaldo, who scores goals for them like crazy, and no other player is taking things seriously.

This is basically the story of Ronaldo, aside from a few years, he had to play with people who did not do well enough to win and he had his stats, this is why he is criticized a lot about how he lacks cups like Messi, either it's something about him, or it's something about the teams he pick. In the end I believe that he needs to leave if they fail this year.

Neymar is just lucky because when he was decide to moved to Al Hilal this team was very dominate Saudi Pro League and gets several trophies during this season but if we see from the contribution between Ronaldo and Neymar certainly Ronaldo is more good than Neymar because last season Ronaldo can playing regularly and became an Al Nassr top scorer but indeed Ronaldo was dreaming the trophy with Al Nassr but unfortunately he still unable to gets that

I have seen this was Al Nassr's second defeat in the final match against Al Hilal during 2024 because previously Al Nassr also lost from Al Hilal on Saudi Super Cup and for next season if Al Nassr want to gets Saudi Pro League they have to ended their poor results from Al Hilal but it will be hard considering Neymar seems already fully recover

Al Hilal, best known as the strongest team in the Saudi League, has had a great start to the new season. They took the top spot after beating Al Nassr's side, and all the bookies are now betting the most on Al Hilal.  I will bet on Al Hilal team regardless of any team in the Saudi League, every player performs well. 
But the attack department of Al Nassr team is strong but the defense department is very weak, that's why Al Nassr team lost this match by a wide margin.

In my opinion, it is not only the defense line but also the attack line that is less aggressive even though it has Ronaldo.
Ronaldo cannot be relied on without the help of other players and he as a star player also needs the contribution of other players to be able to score more.
The defense line has been bad since last season and this all means that the Al Nassr coach must find a way to fix all these shortcomings if Al Nassr wants to win the title to compete with Al Hilal.
However, it is impossible for this season because it seems that Al Hilal has not made many changes and is still as strong as last season.

Previously, Al-Ahli had made an offer to the Bentford club to get this player with an offer of 35 million pounds sterling. But Brentford have rejected the offer. And it looks like if the bid is increased to the price reported above. So maybe Brentford will be willing to let this player go. But currently Chelsea is also competing with Al-Ahli to get Ivan Toney. But I'm sure only Al-Ahli will dare to make a high offer for this player. And if that is successful then Ivan Toney will indeed be a player who can be relied on to strengthen the Al-ahli squad. I will really look forward to it. Apart from that, Ivan Toney is also quite young, he is still 28 years old, so he could be a long-term player for Al-Ahli.

Usually, I always avoid discussing the two mega stars that have ever existed. Honestly, I am a Barcelona supporter, of course so is Messi. But actually, it is no longer a topic for debate between Messi and Ronaldo, especially since these two stars are no longer playing with elite teams in the European League. I really like Messi's playing style, but Ronaldo is a great player anyway. That's why these two players are mega stars in their era, for me these two players are the best in the history of football as long as I know football.

By the way, I'm pretty sure Ronaldo will no longer think about the match against Al Hilal in the Super Cup championship. Now, Ronaldo and his colleagues are focusing on the Saudi Pro League competition which will start soon. Luis Castro has learned from the defeat of his team in the Super Cup match, he must formulate a way for his team to be able to defeat Al Hilal and become the leader of the standings until the end of the season. Well, to make it happen, of course the club and Luis Castro are trying to make Al Nassr even stronger. Therefore, we are waiting for this competition which will start soon.

I don't know whether to call Neymar lucky or vice versa. But Neymar's serious injury was bad luck but winning a trophy without trying hard was luck. But I'm sure Neymar would be happier if he wasn't injured and continued playing even though he didn't win a trophy. And Cristiano Ronaldo was unlucky because he failed to win the SPL title with Al-Nassr. But Cristiano Ronaldo was lucky because he was the top scorer last season. And I think this season, Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to become the top scorer again if he continues his performance in scoring goals in every match. But currently the season hasn't started yet and in two days the league will start and I'm curious whether this time in the SPL Al-nassr will achieve good results or not. And I'm also curious whether Cristiano Ronaldo will be the top scorer again or not in the end.

It's really very unique because Neymar rarely plays for Al-Hilal but he gets a lot of trophies and in this case Neymar is really lucky because he can get a lot of trophies without spending a lot of energy, of course it's different from Cristiano Ronaldo because Cristiano Ronaldo has played a lot for Al-nassr but didn't get many trophies and what I remember is that Cristiano Ronaldo only managed to bring Al-nassr to a trophy once for Al-nassr in the Arab Champions League.

Yes, future generations will definitely see that in the SPL Neymar won many trophies while Cristiano Ronaldo only won a few trophies, but for the current generation who already know Ronaldo's struggle in the SPL, they will certainly be amazed by the struggle of Cristiano Ronaldo who played well for Al-Nassr. even though he is no longer young and will definitely appreciate Cristiano Ronaldo's good and maximum efforts.

but of course we don't know how long Cristiano Ronaldo will continue playing football in the SPL and of course it is possible that in this season's SPL Cristiano Ronaldo will succeed in bringing Al-nassr to a trophy and it is possible that Cristiano and Al-nassr will win more trophies in the future. and of course the opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to add trophies is still wide open before he retires.

There is one more rumor for Al-Ahli and reportedly Ivan Toney could join if Al-Ahli is willing to pay a fee of £50 million. Of course that is not a small fee because Ivan Toney is one of the best strikers in the EPL and is also an England national team player. So it is very reasonable if Ivan Toney is labeled expensive by Brentford and this will also be an increasingly abundant attacking line option that Al-Ahli can have.

Now the decision is up to Al-Ahli and of course after spending that much money they also have to think about the salary and contract that will be included in the agreement. If this transfer goes smoothly we will see elite strikers in the Saudi league to strengthen their respective teams and at the same time compete on the top scorer board.

It seems that Al Hilal will not be defeated again this season. The reason is, Al Hilal's current toughest rival (Al Nasr) was defeated easily. So if Al Nasr has been defeated by Al Hilal it is clear that there is no other team in the Saudi Arabian League that can truly match Al Hilal. This is quite boring, because seeing Al Hilal continue to be champions in almost all Saudi Arabian League competitions, is enough to make me personally very bored. So if it continues like this, the Saudi Arabian League will certainly not become a competitive league. Because of course the top seat of the Saudi Arabian League will continue to be occupied by Al Hilal.

Apart from that, talking about Al Nasr's match against Al Hilal, I also agree that the cause of Al Nassr's defeat in this match was of course because of their weak defense. Because if we talk about the front line, Al Nasr is clearly quite sharp. This is because Al Nasr's front line is filled with Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Talisca and also Otavinho. However, Al Nasr still doesn't seem to have improved its defense line. The reason is that in the transfer market this season, Al Nasr has not bought any new defenders who have good quality. So it's clear that Al Nasr doesn't seem to have any intention of improving its defense line. Therefore, I also don't really understand the mindset of Al Nasr management. Because it's clear their defense line is weak, but why don't they improve it.

Hopefully the defeat experienced by Al Nasr in this match will be a consideration for completely overhauling its defense line. Because I also saw that Ronaldo was very disappointed with the defenders that Al Nasr had. So hopefully when the new season starts, Al Nasr can revise his team better.

To be fair Al Nassr had a good squad that shouldn't lose by this much, this is a bit of a success from Jorge Jesus who made this team better, because if you look at the squad that AL Nassr has, with Laporte, Mane, Talisca, Telles and Ronaldo, these are all players who had a great career and they are all doing fine there.

I suppose the problem could be with the Saudi Arabian players? They should look to get better ones and pay some money for it, but spending a lot within the nation itself makes no sense to them since they want players from Europe. In the end, they lost once again and Al Hilal won again, and by a big margin as well, it feels like this is just replicating what we have seen, shouldn't have been like this.

What is there to be proud of being Neymar? even he did not contribute to the Al Hilal team if I were him I would be ashamed to lift the trophy without doing anything and just sitting watching his club play the match, as a star player he should be a little itchy because he did not play football while Ronaldo continues to show his greatness at his current age.

For me Ronaldo is still greater than Neymar, even though Ronaldo did not win any titles with his club but his skills deserve to be appreciated he did not give up at all going through the season with Al Nassr, it is quite sad to see him fighting for their team but could not win the title Al Nassr should have been able to make improvements in their back line so that Ronaldo's efforts and other attacking lines are not in vain.

There are indeed a lot of Cristiano Ronaldo fans and now it has been proven that the SPL has become more famous because of Cristiano Ronaldo who was brought in by Al-nassr and I am sure that if Cristiano Ronaldo did not go to the SPL I am sure the SPL would not be as popular as it is now. and yes, of course that proves that there are a lot of Cristiano Ronaldo fans in the world.

In the final match of the Saudi Super Cup, this is a match that is eagerly awaited, of course, by many people because they will see the struggle of CR7 and his friends to be able to win the trophy in the final match against Al-Hilal and yes, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal for Al-Nassr, but indeed It's true that Cristiano Ronaldo always tries his best, but yes, it's a shame that at Al-Nassr the players, in terms of ability, still have shortcomings which of course Castro must correct.

but yes Al-hilal did appear brilliant so it looked like he could easily score a goal against Al-nassr but on the one hand I was also amazed by Jorge Jesus' technique because in the second half Al-hilal's players became stronger and it looked very easy for Al-hilal's players can break through Al-nassr's defense.

It is true that if you only rely on 1 player, of course Al-Nassr will definitely not be able to win because of course to achieve success you need the cooperation of all players and also the strength of all players must be strong. Of course, we'll see what match Al-Nassr will have next and of course we will see his strength later.

Sometimes statistics in football tends to look absolutely ridiculous and this Cristiano Ronaldo vs Neymar Jr's achievements with their respective Saudi clubs is one of the those insane statistics. While Neymar Jr have been injured for most part of his time at Al Hilal, Cristiano Ronaldo have been banging in staggering number of goals for his club Al Nassr but sadly, Neymar Jr have four trophies to his name despite scoring just one goal while Cristiano Ronaldo can only boost of one.
Generations to come will read about their achievements in their different clubs and unless they're told in details, they'll think the one with four trophies did better than the one with  just one trophy.

Soccer is a mental game as much as a physical one. Compare Al Nassr and Al Hilal. All witnessed it. One goal against them, boom! Everyone on the squad lost their cool

Four goals in 15 minutes? This is mental collapse, not just bad luck. Al Nassr has great players like Bento who can change a game. But what good is brilliance without focus?

Definitely, Al Hilal has a strong team. If Al Nassr had focused in the first half, we may be singing a different tune. Evidently, mental toughness is the issue, not defense. They must learn to focus under pressure. They need a killing instinct to keep them going when things get rough. The coaching comes in. More adaptability and spontaneous creativity are needed. They need more than individual talent to win games. The team, mindset, and drive to win matter. Al Nassr must handle that or they'll keep failing.

conceded 4 within 17 minutes so, Ronaldo's goal wasn't enough for Al Nassr

Conceding 4 goals in 17 minutes in such a big final is just embarrassing. Cristiano Ronaldo does not deserve this. He was the best performer in his team. Al-Nassr had lost one of their best player in the semi-final and as I have said, that cost them.  

In the 44th minute, Ronaldo got his team Al-Nassr the lead and honestly, I was thinking that Ronaldo is finally going to win a cup for himself after a long time. But that 17 minutes was just shocking. They conceded goal after goal. Mitrovic got the best out of the defense of Al-Nassr, picking it apart. If I was in the place of Ronaldo, I would have been very disappointed as well. Ronaldo was just a few minutes away from winning a well-deserved championship until his team fell apart.

Al-Nassr has some quality players in their defense though. Laporte, and Alex Telles are all quality players. They just could not achieve anything yesterday. Before the match started I actually thought that this defense could get the job done and help Ronaldo win his trophy.

I beg to go off from everyone on the point of Al Nassr and their possibility of winning the suadi pro league in this season, although the club still remains one of the best performing clubs in the suadi Arabia league and at that Al Hilal is only trying to be a opponent in the league and also trying their own best to break a record in this season, and as you rightly Said, both clubs have similar players features, but apart from players there is more to what makes a team win a league which is totally outside player's and that is management and coach processing.
If you notice on the match the AI Nassr coach failed to properly managed and use his available player's in the right tactical place and time to give the opponent a tough one, same thing can also happens to any club no matter the amount of star players that are available on the team, so let us look out to what will come along the way and the remaining days of the league.

Al-Nassr seemed to lose his confidence in the second half. I don't know what happened, but after the first goal scored by Al-Hilal against Al-Nassr's goal, Al-Nassr's defensive mentality dropped drastically. Even Bento, who usually always manages to be the savior, but in the second half he momentarily lost focus. Apart from the mentality of the Al-Nassr defenders who really need attention, I think the Al-Nassr midfielders are also sometimes not quick in helping them go down the back line. However, I am sure that if Al-Nassr in the second half had not lost focus after Al-Hilal's first goal then they would not have conceded so many goals in such a relatively short time.

I hope Al-nassr doesn't repeat its mistakes in the SPL. because what we are waiting for is that they can play better in the SPL.

I also hope that Neymar can recover completely because I want to see this player return to playing on the green field.

Neymar was only listed in the Al Hilal squad but he suffered a long injury so he could not help Al Hilal. However, it is interesting when players who only sit on the bench and are not even there can win more trophies than players who have contributed a lot to the team.
From here we see that the individual does not have much influence if the team can have a very good game and also good teamwork. This reminds me of Hazard at Real Madrid, he was just a decoration on the bench, but he won many prestigious trophies. Lol
Earlier we talked about Al Nassr's weak defense and now I see the same thing again. There is no other way for Al Nassr other than to improve the performance of their defensive line, because this is the main problem they have, making it difficult to compete with Al Hilal.
