They managed to win the match with a narrow score of 1 goal, which they were able to create at the end of the first half through Sadio Mane. Although only 1 goal, it was enough to bring them home with 3 points this week.
They dominated the game and it was indeed quite difficult to score goals when the opponent played with a defensive strategy, that's what Al Nassr felt in this match. However, it seems they can still be more creative, because there were several moments where they couldn't maximize the opportunities they got.
They must be able to fix this, because if they can't fix it, it might be a problem in their next match.

At this point, it's purely impossible to consider that christian Ronaldo will be considering going back to Europe to play in any of it league or to play in a top team that will participate in the champions league. He has won five champions league trophy which makes him second on the batch of a footballer with the highest number of champions league trophy with the highest being sixth. It goes to show that he's made his point all clear and if there's any reason to think of playing an hard competition, it's going to be attempting to win the world cup and not going back to Europe to play in the champions league.

Neymar has been unlucky and that has cost him and Al hilal a lot of disadvantage and to be honest, Al hilal hasn't enjoyed the benefit of such signing. Even though signing Ronaldo who should be turning 40 before then is not the best of option but considering that he's still scoring goals and is still more fit that Neymar has been since his signing, it's going to be a far more better signing that trying to manage the frequent injury of Neymar. But instead of this signing, bringing Paul Pogba to Al hilal would have been another great consideration since Pogba is still young and will be more energetic than Ronaldo which will be helpful to the team.
 

Neymar may regret the fact that he should never have prioritized his money so much. If he had stayed at Barcelona until the end with Messi, it would have been easier for him to achieve a lot in Barcelona fear and he might not have had this downfall in his career. Neymar came to the attention of the PSG owner with a great performance against PSG in the Champions League for Barcelona, then he was brought from Barcelona to PSG for a significant transfer fee and since then, we can say that Neymar's career has been on a bad note.
Due to injuries and poor performances for PSG, PSG sold him to a Saudi club and he only got a chance to play one or two matches for the Saudi club before he got injured again and was sidelined for a long time. Finally, when he recovered from the injury, he played a match again and left the field due to an injury. Now it remains to be seen how much time Neymar needs to recover from the injury.

Al Nassr is currently playing away against Al Riyadh and I think, basically Al Riyadh is also not an easy opponent because in the previous few seasons Al Riyadh also managed to beat and hold Al Nassr to a draw. Moreover, at this moment the distance between Al Nassr and Al Riyadh in the standings is also not too far and that means, Al Riyadh could hold Al Nassr to a draw in this match. Because after all, so far even though Al Nassr is still undefeated  but Al Nassr has a win and draw result with a number that is not much different. Thus, I personally predict that this match might end in a draw, and even if Al Nassr wins, the score is also like it is only low and it is still not easy for Al Nassr to win in this away match.

Ronaldo contract will expire at the end of this season but so far there is no sign of a contract extension happening, so it is very natural that at this time Ronaldo is associated with Al Hillal especially since they face a big challenge to be able to continue to dominate the SPL, Neymar injury continues to occur of course forcing Al Hillal to immediately find the right replacement and I think ronaldo will be the most appropriate choice later, if Ronaldo really moves to Al Hilal, of course it will be very fantastic considering Ronaldo arrival can provide a big boost both in terms of performance and commercial appeal later,But I think maybe it will be difficult to happen, although maybe all this time Ronaldo was disappointed because of the inability of Al Nassr to win the championship trophy, but we know if Ronaldo is a typical player who does not want to betray his club by crossing to a rival team so far and that its we can see from his career history so far.

Al Nassr were very kind to offer Ronaldo a very good deal just at the point when his career was looking like no club wanted him. I feel it is very disrespectful if he decides to leave them to go join an opponent especially since he has not been able to help them win the Saudi professional league. There are other players that Al Hilal can bring in, they do not need Ronaldo. If Ronaldo moves to Al Hilal, he will change the whole team dynamics because he will want the other players in the team to play for him, so he can continue setting new records, that can affect the team and any record they hope to have. 

Telling a little about Real Madrid's performance this season, Real Madrid performed quite badly and is in a stuttering condition but hopefully there will be changes in the team soon and return Real Madrid to the path of victory. So that Vinicius' dream of winning the Ballon d'Or with Real Madrid can be achieved next season.

Regarding Neymar, it is very unfortunate that he was unable to perform optimally with Al-Hilal, because it is recorded that since Neymar came to Al-Hilal, Neymar has only made 7 appearances from the many matches that Al-Hilal has participated in. Neymar is no longer young, at the age of 32 and often injured, maybe it's time for Neymar to retire from football. And maybe this is also the reason why Al-Hilal chose to end his contract with the Brazilian player.

This not only requires defeat from Al Hilal, but it also requires consistent victory from Al Nassr. Because when Al Hilal loses but Al Nassr cannot win, then that will also be something that will be missed because their points gap will remain the same. Currently Al Hilal is also playing a match and they are already 1 goal ahead in the first half. Seeing their game in the first half which was very dominant, it seems like they will easily win this match and I think they will create additional goals in the second half. Because their opponents also couldn't do much in the first half, they could only play defensively to withstand the attacks made by Al Hilal.

I think it's natural for Al Hilal to terminate Neymar's contract, because it seems like Neymar's condition is no longer convincing at the moment. So Al Hilal would be better off looking for a new player who could be a very suitable replacement for Neymar. M, Salah is indeed the right choice, but I personally doubt whether M, Salah will be released by Liverpool next season. Because even though M, Salah's contract expires next season, Liverpool could extend M, Salah's contract. Because until now M, Salah still has a very important role on Liverpool's front line. Therefore, I personally am quite doubtful that M, Salah can really be brought in by Al Hilal next season.

Because until now, there is no truly valid information regarding this matter. Apart from that, M, Salah also doesn't seem to have responded to this issue. So until next season's transfer market starts, this will of course be a big question for us. Because if M. Salah really moves to Al Hilal, of course this will be very big news. Apart from that, you can be sure that Al Hilal will become an even stronger team if for example M, Salah joins. But as I said, the potential for Al Hilal to get M, Salah is very small. But even though it is small, if for example Al Hilal can really persuade Liverpool and also M, Salah, it is very likely that Al Hilal can indeed get M, Salah. But for now, we'll just continue to monitor how this rumor develops.

Cristiano Ronaldo set to leave Al Nassr in winter transfer window, possible return to Europe ruled out: Report

Cristiano Ronaldo's last club in Europe was Manchester United, whom he joined in 2021 for a second stint. Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Al Nassr on December 30, 2022, shocked the world. Considered to be among the greatest-ever footballers in history, Ronaldo signed a contract where he would earn 200 million Euros per year, including a guaranteed salary of 90 million Euros, with commercial and sponsorship deals bringing his total annual salary to 200 million.

But now it looks like Ronaldo could be on his way out of Al Nassr, and rival club Al Hilal has been touted as a possible destination. According to reports, Al Hilal are considering acquiring Ronaldo, as replacement for Neymar, who has been struggling with injuries, and is also rumoured to join Inter Miami in the upcoming transfer window.

They won Saudi Professional League last season without Neymar and in this season they're playing well without him too. This shows that Al Hilal are very strong and stable throughout two latest seasons and they currently have a very good squad that are able to win Saudi Professional League again, not only this season but maybe some more.

Neymar after leaving Barcelona, has never returned to his level with last seasons for Barcelona, and after his departure from PSG, his career has been in a free fall. It's not about worse performances but it is about his terrible fragile body that brings many injuries to him. By getting many injuries, missing many matches, his career is coming to the end even he is now only 32 years old.

In a generation of Neymar, we already witness Bale and Hazard retired their player career, and with what's going on with Neymar, maybe this player will retire soon if he does not try to play for money.

I also can't deny that Al-hilal is still the strongest here in the SPL. And actually they are already a strong team even without Neymar. Al-hilal already has its own star player apart from Neymar, namely Mitrovic, who continues to amaze us with how sharp he is in Al-hilal's attack line. Seeing this player score 2 or 3 goals in a match is no longer a strange thing at Al-Hilal. And regarding Neymar, it seems like he is really unlucky. Because on Tuesday he played again with the Al-hilal squad against Esteghlal. But bad luck befell Neymar again. He suffered a hamstring injury after 30 minutes of playing in the second half. So he had to leave the field quickly and be replaced by another player. I doubt Neymar will really come back quickly again. Even now there are several rumors circulating about the possibility of contract termination if this situation continues. I don't know if these rumors are close to the truth or just rumors. But I would also understand Al-hilal if they made that decision.

Al Nassr fans have high hopes for Pioli are the same as their high hopes for Ronaldo since he became an Al Nassr player, but for me it will not be that easy Al Hilal is still the strongest in the Saudi Pro League and is undefeated, as long as Al Hilal is undefeated Pioli and his men will not have a chance to win the title, now just imagine Al Hilal without Neymar is already very strong, what if Neymar plays fully, won't Al Hilal be a monster club? but I'm also not sure Neymar will be a regular squad because currently Al Hilal does not fully need him.

Well, it can be said as revenge but more importantly, Al Nassr has really won and saved full points to get comfortable position in group B which is currently led by Al Hilal and followed in second place by Al Ahli.
I think Al Nassr will be able to at least occupy 2nd place or surpass Al Hilal by taking over the top of the group to be able to qualify for the next round with more confidence.

That the main point, we can see Al Nassr performing impressively and really competing fiercely and can be equal to Al Hilal strength in every competition they play, there is great hope given by Al Nassr fans to Pioli.
By the way, today in the SPL we will see Al Nassr playing against Al-Riyadh, what do you think, can they win again considering that Al-Riyadh also cannot be underestimated.

Vinicius is very young and he is very ambitious with titles and Ballon d'Or. Missing Ballon d'Or this year is big disappointment for Vinicius but he will come back for it next seasons. There is no better club than Real Madrid to win big titles, for example Champions League which is very good foundation to win Ballon d'Or. Vinicius will not leave Real Madrid too soon because he has everything there and I believe that he will not leave Real Madrid because of Mbappe appearance there.

Vinicius is smart that if he moves to Saudi Professional League, his dream of Ballon d'Or will be over immediately. I believe that Vinicius will not give up his Ballon d'Or dream too early just because of money from Saudi Arabia. In addition, he wants to win World Cup title with Brazil national team too.

Another Brazilian player, Neymar, got another injury, it's muscle injury this time. It will take Neymar 4 to 6 weeks for recovery and there is rumor that Al Hilal wants to terminate their contract with him in January 2025.

Your position is very radical, but the truth is I respect it and it can happen, I believe that Al Nassr can do it, 6 points are only 2 games, we don't know if Al Nasssr loses, if they lose 2 games and Al Nassr wins it is something else and the truth is it would be interesting because it would be much more exciting, I like how everything is in this league, you can see that they are trying very hard and this league really is very good, before I had never seen or been interested in this league, now I see that they have a lot of interest on a world level, it is very good, especially the two teams that are Al Hilal and Al Nassr.

Thank goodness Vinicius did not move to the Arab League, because if he was serious about moving to the Arab League at his young age, 24 years old, it seems like a pretty bad decision. Because this is not just about finances, but more than that, it is about building a career and reputation in the top European leagues, which will help him shape his quality and status as one of the best footballers in the world today. There are still many achievements that he must achieve in the top European competition. And most recently Vinicius failed to get the Ballon d'Or award, and he must prove it next year to be able to win the award.

And as for MO Salah, as a fan of The Reds, I hope that Mo Salah will end his career at Anfield so that he becomes a true legend of The Reds. This is just my selfishness as a fan of The Reds, because choosing to end his career in the Arab League is not a bad decision. because the high financial offer given of course this can be a guarantee for Salah after retiring from football. and with the reputation and influence that MO Salah has, of course this will provide benefits for the progress and existence of the Arab League.

Al Hilal have been a real pain in the neck for Al Nassr they did it last season and they are also doing it this season again but this time it looks like they are ready to lock horns with them. Pioli can actually take them to higher levels than last season but things have not been falling in place for him well, he have dropped point too much in his last five games he won only 2 draw 2 and lost 1 which is not so good if he wants to challenge Al Hilal for the title.

Al Nassr are not even second place they will be in 3rd place if they win there next game and they will be 5 points behind 2nd place Al Ittihad if Al Hilal wins their game making it 6 points behind Al Hilal which is really bad compared to last season performance. It takes time for new coaches to adapt but in this case i don’t think Al Nassr management will be patient enough to let the coach adapt. He needs to improve the team as soon as possible.

The possibility of Vinicius Junior moving to Saudi Arabia is very slim, I don't think the Brazilian international who is the second-best player in the world will consider moving to Saudi Professional League at this time. He will move to another top-class if he intends to leave Real Madrid. Mohammed Salah's case looks possible because he has not hidden his interest in moving to another club after this season. Liverpool might be planning to give him a new contract before the end of this season and his rejection might be a clear indication that he wants to leave. Bringing Salah to the Gulf League will be a big turning point for the league. He is a Muslim who has lots of experience, influence and reputation.

Having helped AC to win their Serie A back in 2021/2022 season, and having also held managerial positions at Fiorentina, inter Milan, Bologna and Lazio, If the Stefano Pioli will bring in his managerial experiences from the time he spent in the Italian league into the Saudi pro league side Al-Nassr, Al-Nassr is going to see another level of performance going forward,I believe.
