From the seven matches that have taken place during the pre-season Al-Nassr only won once with two draws and four losses and in my opinion that is not a result that cannot be proud of. It feels like Al-Nassr also did not face strong opponents and with the current squad they should have given different results. But indeed this is only a pre-season match and we cannot expect more.

Correcting the information, Al-Nassr had 8 friendly matches, and from these 8 matches Al-Nassr got 4 defeats, 3 draws and 1 win. They only won when they faced Maritimo (a team from the Portuguese league), the rest of the results they got were not good. From these results, it looks like they're not ready to face teams from Europe, they're only great domestically, but when they go against European teams they can't do more. The important point is the final sentence you said, this is just a pre-season match, it can't be used as a real reference.

Preseason's preseason. Its about experimenting and bringing the new individuals into line. Al-Nassr might have had some problems with the European big boys, but lets not jump ahead of ourselves. They beat Maritimo, thats a start.

The real season hasnt even kicked off yet. Thats when you witness the actual output of a team. They have skill; Ronaldo is the best. It is now about combining everything.

These early games? Educational opportunities. They will work out what works and what doesnt. Come the regular season; they will be an other beast.

This is just the case here, their performance in the preseason games isn't totally suggesting what is Al-Nassr strength as a team, and yes no doubt they did have a very bad performance time at their Pre-season games agaist playing with some of the European clubs, however I believe they have used these games to weigh out what their strength could actually be in a real time game clash with these teams and will used the stats from these matches to work things out and further having a more formidable team this season.

Maybe this is a victory that Al-Ittihad should be proud of because it was not a weak team that they defeated but last season's Serie A champion, Inter. But indeed, regardless of the results, this is only a pre-season match, but this is a good record where from the previous 4 pre-season matches, Al-Ittihad always suffered defeat.

If you look at the existing line-up, Inter actually played with their main squad, and so did Al-Ittihad. However, if this was an official match, Al-Ittihad would definitely lose badly. Moussa Diaby was finally able to score a goal and no doubt the two goals were scored by him directly. With this, the pre-season match for Al-Ittihad has finished and I hope all the matches can be used as evaluation material by coach Laurent Blanc to prepare for the upcoming Saudi pro league match.

OMG what a shame I missed this match, I didn't expect Inter Milan to be defeated by Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad, as a top European club at least their performance should be better even though this is just a friendly match, especially since the Saudi League is not that competitive compared to the European League. Even though so far in friendly matches Inter Milan have not experienced defeat because I still think their performance is still quite strong but this time they have to swallow that bitter pill.

Mousa Diaby can at least be the club's mainstay when needed, what surprised me was Karim Benzema who played full time but he couldn't create any chances or provide assists in the match, I didn't see Karim Benzema like when he was at Real Madrid he played there but I didn't recognize him Cry

Al-Ittihad Club football team could not win the match against Real Betis Balompié football team and we saw one sided match and audience didn't like that kind of matches in which one team is dominant and other team is recessive. We want equal competition in which both team players play with full strength. If both team players will give their full effort we will see the the good match. From last four matches,Al-Ittihad Club team won only 1 match and they lose three matches. Real Betis Balompié team did four goals and we saw unity in the team due to which team won the match by 4-1 score . That is not low performance. Well done Real Betis Balompié team .

But according to livescore information, Al-Nassr only played 7 pre-season games, so which games did they miss?

Indeed, they only won against one of the Portuguese teams and if we talk about the next match they will play against Al-Taawoun in the Saudi Super Cup competition. I agree that Al-Nassr is only good in the domestic league and in fact European teams are still too strong for them. Maybe Al-Nassr thought that with the depth of their European squad they could show off to challenge those European teams but in fact they missed so many wins.

Are you still using Livescore? better leave them alone, they're artifacts of the past, Sofascore is better than them which can give you advanced information. BTW, Livescore missed Al-Nassr's match against Louletano DC which was Al-Nassr's first pre-season match. About Al-Nassr & SPL, that's it, they're not strong enough to face teams from Europe, but that's part of their process ATM.

As a Saudi club, winning a game against a club in the one if the top five leagues in Europe is without doubt a great feat but what's even greater is the fact that Al Ittihad actually defeated the champions of Italy. Though it's a preseason friendly game which is why the result actually do not count but the Saudi club will take so many will gain more confidence with the win.

In particular, whether the result counts or not is not a big deal, but Al Ittihad beating Inter is the most difficult thing. Al-Ittwihad team has come a long way despite the massive game change this season. But even though it is a friendly game, a win in these matches is a positive point for Al Ittihad as they can beat any of the Italian clubs and it will also make a huge difference in the betting. Many gamblers faced losses in this match as Inter lost by a wide margin despite betting on Inter, and all gamblers faced losses.

If you know that this preseason match is not that important why do you say Al Nassr should show their performance like Al Ittihad?
Preseason matches are not something that should be prioritized and I am sure the fans already know that even though Al Nassr lost in the preseason match it does not mean that it will lower the fans' confidence but the match was not taken seriously.
The most important thing is not about showing the strongest performance but the performance in the real match later when the SPL starts and at that time Al Nassr must show that they are capable of winning the SPL title this season with star players who can be relied on.

Although the result of this match is not worth it, I think it is a positive for the Saudi Premier League. Because they have a chance to compete again later if they lose, the chance is a little less. It's a simple win but I think Al Ittihad opened up the fortunes for the team, which will give them a chance to compete better later on. Because they will be able to withstand more pressure later on and thus they will not hesitate to compete with European clubs and perform aggressively enough to win.

Al Nassr performance should be something to worry about in the pre-season? I don't think so because they're elite club and capable of accomplishing their priorities for next season. Moreover the pre-season is just a test and warmup for the second XI and opportunities orientation for the bench players. This is the moment for the coach to simply instructs the very best performance and his best XI lineup.

But at least Al Nassr must show that they are also an elite club and do their best like Al Ittihad, Al Hilal and Al Ahli did in holding pre-season matches against European clubs so that they are not underestimated, I know this is just a pre-season match and does not count as a real match but if they perform well at least the fans have high hopes for Al Nassr in the SPL competition next season especially in competing with Al Hilal, surely they do not want to experience the same thing as last season where they failed to bring home at least 1 trophy.

Laurent Blanc is a great manager and I believe his experience will bring great improvement to the Al Ittihad team.

For Al Nassr fans, especially Ronaldo fans, the poor results in the pre-season tour were very disappointing, and of course will make them worry about Al Nassr chances of winning the Saudi Pro League trophy next season. We know that Al Nassr will find it difficult to compete with the defending champion Al Hilal, the pre-season tour should have been used as a momentum to improve quality and confidence. The defeat statistics indicate that Al Nassr is not fully ready to start their campaign next season, the management must use the transfer window to add depth to the squad, if they are really ambitious to lead the standings at the end of the season.

On the other hand, In the next few days Al Nassr will face Al Taawon in the semifinals of the Saudi Super Cup, I think Luis Castro must field his best squad so as not to suffer another defeat. I predict Ronaldo will be played in the match, the poor results obtained in the pre-season tour may be influenced by Ronaldo absence. If Al Nassr manages to beat Al Taawon, Ronaldo and his colleagues will most likely face Al Hilal in the final. Overall Al Hilal is favored to win the Saudi Super Cup, Al Nassr must be able to create a turning point in performance to be able to win the trophy.

It feels like Al-Nassr also did not face strong opponents and with the current squad they should have given different results. But indeed this is only a pre-season match and we cannot expect more.

Correcting the information, Al-Nassr had 8 friendly matches, and from these 8 matches Al-Nassr got 4 defeats, 3 draws and 1 win. They only won when they faced Maritimo (a team from the Portuguese league), the rest of the results they got were not good. From these results, it looks like they're not ready to face teams from Europe, they're only great domestically, but when they go against European teams they can't do more. The important point is the final sentence you said, this is just a pre-season match, it can't be used as a real reference.

Currently, only Al Hillal is still performing perfectly in their friendly matches by achieving victory over weak European teams, whereas on the contrary we see that Al Nassr, who was Al Hillal main competitor last season, has not been able to beat the current European teams, so you can imagine what would happen if an Arab team met a European team in an official match like as previously discussed by the Arab League authorities who asked UEFA to allow the SPL championship team to play in the Champions League, from several friendly matches played by Al Nassr, I saw that many teams their opponents did not use their full strength in the match, so I think perhaps the Arab League teams are still not worthy of being compared to European teams, even the weakest teams in Europe at the moment.
Next season the Arab League will have the feel of tight competition after many big teams continue to strengthen their squads and in these conditions it will certainly make it difficult for Al Nassr to compete with other teams for competete to get trophies .

In my opinion, the Saudi Pro League team will never be able to play in the European Champions League, because the Saudi Pro League is included in the Asian Champions League region, and there are many regulations that hinder the realization of this hope. Al Hilal, Al Nassr and all other Saudi Pro League contestants should focus on dominating the Asian Champions League, where last season none of them managed to penetrate the final. Meanwhile, regarding the results of the friendly matches between Al Hilal and Al Nassr, the results recorded by both teams cannot be used as a full reference, because it could be that in the official season their performance will be different. The fight for the trophy next season seems to still be led by Al Hilal, so far they have not shown any signs of decline. We realize that Al Hilal will find it difficult to repeat their unbeaten record throughout the season, especially since Al Nassr as their closest competitor is also ambitious to win the trophy while Ronaldo is still with them.

In terms of results, it was indeed a bad result, only winning 1 out of 8 matches they played. But again, this is a pre-season that we cannot conclude just by looking at the pre-season matches, everything might be very different when in the real season. Al Nassr might still be looking for the right formula for them to apply in the competition and that has an impact on their pre-season match results. But that is not something that can be used as a benchmark. We have to look deeper if we want to see what their strengths are like and we can see that when they are in the competition. Moreover, some of the teams that beat them are also good teams in Europe and we know that the quality of some teams in the Saudi Pro League is not comparable to European teams, especially when they did not play with the best strategy and squad in the pre-season. I do not mean to underestimate the team that comes from here, because as a team they also have quality.

Friendly matches are for trials and errors so losses if happen, can be explained. Honestly I did not follow up their recent friendly matches and did not know that what players they used in those matches.

Generally 4 defeats in 8 friendly matches is bad result and even they used friendly matches to find their weakness, to fix before a new season. Losing so many matches like this is not actually good preparation for actual matches in a new season.

If they bring weakness from friendly matches to a new season, won't fix it successfully, they will face with nightmare in early of season like they experienced past season. The poor beginning last season costs the a league title to Al Hilal and they could not equalize difference with Al Hilal after having very long good streak for some months.

I had the opportunity to watch the highlights of the game and Inter wasted some good goal opportunities, it didn't even look like the Inter they were playing, the Inter striker made a lot of mistakes. But it wasn't just the Inter striker who was making mistakes, I saw Benzema also being a disaster, it didn't even seem like Benzema who didn't make mistakes at Real Madrid, he just had to be close to the opposing team's goalkeeper and he would score a goal, there were many games in which Benzema saved Real Madrid. But in this Al-Ittihad team, Benzema is very absent, the mistakes he has made are unbelievable, see some of the mistakes he made in this game

Inter's defense made a lot of mistakes, probably because Benjamin Pavard wasn't playing, while Inter's attack was missing Lautaro Martínez. If these two players were in the squad and Inter played seriously, I think Inter could have won the game. Al-Ittihad will need to play well this season if they are serious about winning the Saudi Professional League and I honestly see this as an extremely difficult task, especially with Benzema's lack of form. I can see Al-Ittihad finishing in third place next season.

In this match, Inter Milan did not play as well as in other pre-season matches. It's just that this happened because of the player rotation that was carried out in the match. And regarding Benzema, I also agree that he is no longer playing as well as he did when he was at Real Madrid. At Al-ittihad he also often failed to take advantage of good opportunities. And that's been happening since last season when he joined here. It's just that this is also related to Benzema's condition, who has actually been injured too often. In fact, the reason Benzema rarely played last season was because the player's condition had not completely recovered. And this is also what sparked Benzema's dispute with his previous coach. But I'm sure Benzema will try to return his performance to a better form. Maybe he won't be able to play as well as before but he can definitely be better than yesterday.

With this, the pre-season matches for Al-Nassr have ended and in their last match against the Spanish team Almeria they suffered a crushing defeat with 3 goals without reply. It was a very dismal result, especially against a second-tier Spanish team and until now Al-Nassr has never won against a Spanish team. Previously they also lost by a narrow score against Granada and coach Luis Castro was quite unlucky in giving direction to his players.

From the seven matches that have taken place during the pre-season Al-Nassr only won once with two draws and four losses and in my opinion that is not a result that cannot be proud of. It feels like Al-Nassr also did not face strong opponents and with the current squad they should have given different results. But indeed this is only a pre-season match and we cannot expect more.

These preseasons game are usually having nothing with the team's performance because we have them for the purpose of fun and fund-raising for the different charities and related things as mentioned most of the top players were missing for the Inter Milan so they were not able to hold things Al Ittihad which is looking for having better performance and consistency after poor last season take advantage of this weakness and play their best game.

This is going to be good for them, and surely it's also going to increase their confidence because win like this even it is in preseason game now they are feeling good and their preparation for the next season is also looking perfect.

We are going to have another tough season ahead because Al Hilal is looking solid as they were in last season and Al Nassr and Al Ahli are also doing good changes for having better results.

Pre-season matches are an opportunity for coaches to maximize strategy and see weaknesses that may exist in the team so that they can be improve, just like what we saw in the Al Ittihad and Intermilan matches in the past, if the match is an official match of course there is little chance that Al Ittihad will were able to beat last season Serie A champions, although actually the victory over Intermilan was quite encouraging, but I think Al Ittihad should not be careless in assuming that their team is ready enough to face the tough competition in the SPL next season, because after all there are still many lines and aspects that they have to improve now to support their performance to be better next season to be ready to compete with Al Nassr , Al ahli and Al Hillal.
