Certainly the reception from Al-Nassr fans for the mega star Cristiano Ronaldo at the stadium was so crowded, it is undeniable that this is one of the phenomenal transfers for the saudi league club. Even talking about Al-Nassr's Instagram followers, it rose drastically to 8.9 million, even surpassing the Instagram followers of accounts from Inter Milan, Fenebache, Ajax, Boca Juniors, and several top clubs in Europe. The Ronaldo Effect is extraordinary for a promotion or business, this proves the capacity of a Ronaldo in the eyes of the football world.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a very loyal fan following. They will follow Cristiano Ronaldo anywhere as long as he is playing. So it is not a big surprise in my opinion. And another thing is I don’t think this club had any players like this in their team before. So obviously it is a reason to celebrate. And celebrate what they did, I just talked about Cristiano Ronaldo will be happy playing here.

I just watched CR7 presentation in a stadium full of fans, it was certainly a full stadium. To some extent, everyone understands that he would like to continue his career in Europe, but it so happened that he was fully appreciated as a football player in Asia. Now he is the highest paid football player and can enjoy life, maybe he wanted everything to end differently, but who knows, he is a legend anyway.

Al Nassr's presentation of CR7 has been trending since so many publications have covered the launch of CR7 in Asia. The Saudi league is now the focus of everyone's attention. As a result of CR7, the Arabians club has become more popular. The boss of Al Nassr is eager to manage legend Cristiano Ronaldo. However, handling him will be no easy task.

This is main achievement for Saudi league whom no one's knows and follows before is not trending and followed by the world.  That's the power of a legend how he changed the fate of Al Nassr and vice versa . The money Al Nassr gave is nothing infront of all this limelight and attention.  

Now all the world will follow and watch Saudi league like European leagues

I think Arsenal had similar issues with Nicolas Pepe, that’s was before Arteta came in. He knew Pepe wasn’t suitable for his style of play. Since he got into the club, he’s had made the management know the kind of players that fits what he wants to practice in the club. Now they’re targeting young players that can play in multiple positions in case of injuries and change of tactics.

Like when Arsenal faced Newcastle, coach Mikel Arteta seemed confused in the second half to put other players into the attack line and that made Arsenal's game very deadlocked. Only one player entered in the second half for Tomiyasu to replace Ben White, maybe Mikel Arteta was hoping Tomiyasu could make the difference with a quick attack down the right, but that doesn't seem to work and Arsenal need to get a young player soon who can fill in some a position in the attacking department of the current transfer market.

With the financial conditions of Arab clubs which can be said to be unlimited for a number of clubs there, of course, the arrival of Ronaldo to this league will obviously open up access for other players who are labeled stars and even any Arab club can bring in their money.
Even now, it seems that initially the Japanese and Korean leagues were always looked at, now the stigma has moved to Arabic for the Asian zone.

Even the blind can see that Cristiano Ronaldo is influential. Right now, Al Nassr Club is the club that receives the most media attention. The local club became well-known within a week thanks to the "Ronaldo effect," and their social media following soared. He is welcomed by the Arabic club.

See his welcome when officially introduced. It was absolutely insane for a player's welcome and it might even be the single most grandiose official player welcome and introduction to date.
The Ronaldo effect has also made several people within the scope of Jersey sales increase rapidly until now.

The Gunners should have won the game vs Newcastle. it's just that their players can't convert every opportunity well and make it a goal.quite a hot match, there were a lot of fouls in last night's game and the Gunners had lots of chances. at least, they had 4 shots on target from 17 total attempted shots.

lucky for Newcastle. Newcastle's defense is very disciplined, so that Newcastle is not embarrassed by the home team. even so, it's a shame that Newcastle did not dare to play open they even tend to defend.

Anyway, at least the good news is that Arsenal are close to getting Mykhaylo Mudryk. Mundryk, has reportedly agreed personal terms with Arsenal. only one step away from bringing him to the Emirates Stadium, namely the matter of the transfer fee which has not yet found common ground with Donetsk. and what is certain, Arsenal will not only bring in Mundryk in this transfer window. it seems, there are several other players who are still on the radar and their targets are to be brought to the Emirates Stadium.

Price for Mykhaylo Mudryk was increased by Arsenal. And the deal is quite close to being done as far as I know. As well, getting him on the team is going to make the team much more stronger.

Yes, the transfer fee is the only question right now. Arsenal needs to start playing better if they want to stay at the top of the table. Arsenal did not win the match against Newcastle United and I do not think that people should be so hard on Arsenal. Because Newcastle United is actually playing very well this season. But the thing is this is not going to get easier for Arsenal because Arsenal will be facing Tottenham in the next match.

Many negative things can be said about Ronaldo by people that do not love him. I don't have problem with that but almost everybody will attest to the fact that Ronaldo's influence is very much he is the most popular personality on Instagram and whichever club he goes he attract social media attention to the club and other Investments because of Ronaldo you will see many sponsors will come to endorse his new club.

Ronaldo is a great player and a big dream Chaser . I love him for that

This happened only because Arsenal do not have good players in the substitute bench. If Arsenal had good players on the bench, I think Arsenal could win the last match against Newcastle United. But obviously, that did not happen. Arsenal needs to bring in some new players so that they have better options on the bench. Otherwise, they might have to see the same thing happening which happened to them in the last match. And a coach cannot make good replacements if there are not good players who can be brought in on the field as good replacements.

It’s absurd hearing or reading fan’s opinions criticizing Ronaldo for joining Al Nassr. At 38 having won everything there’s in Europe I think it’s not bad seeing him going to Asia. He should be applauded rather than mocked. I am happy for him if that’s where his happiness lines and I believe and hope he returns to Europe someday because it is not out of question. They have been players that went out of Europe in their prime and Came. Players like Axel Witsel Yannick Carracci and also Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Also Ronaldo once said he would love to retire at Sporting. So this seems like a break to him after this disastrous season.

Ibrahima Konate has into Real Madrid radar and they will attempts to hijack him from Liverpool although Konate has long duration contract with Liverpool until 2026 but Real Madrid are taking possibilities to bought him this summer and reported Ancelotti has been talk with Madrid management and this summer he want this player will arrived at Madrid however since arrived to Liverpool on summer 2021 Konate performance has been showed good progress and with Van Dijk he can performing well on Liverpool defense so it's not easy to gets him because i am sure Liverpool wouldn't sell him easily

Real Madrid is very interested in Ibrahima Konaté. And I think they will eventually be successful in trying to get this player. I don’t know if Liverpool is going to let him go. But the way Real Madrid is showing interest, I think Liverpool might actually eventually could let him go.

Real Madrid also needs defenders in the team. So that is something that also indicates Real Madrid is very serious about getting him into the team. The problem is if Liverpool let him go, the defensive lineup of Liverpool is going to be in big problems. So that is the reason why Liverpool might not want to sell him. Unless of course Real Madrid are offering a huge amount of money.

Ronaldo is a legend,  🐐  and outstanding footballer and this is the most important thing before any other speculation about him.  He joined Al Nassr due to his decision of spending time and working for Arab club as he has always been in European club . The popularity that Al Nassr us getting is obvious as whole world loves and follows Ronaldo.  He's not just any player , he is the best player of the world .
Ups and downs come in everyone's life  if Ronaldo was little bit off track a while ago that doesn't mean he is not a good footballer.

Now he is the highest paid football player and can enjoy life, maybe he wanted everything to end differently, but who knows, he is a legend anyway.

Time has passed very quickly, Ronaldo has given everything during his career in European football. Of course his fans really want him to continue his career in Europe, but since he was out of work after parting ways with Manchester United no club has shown any seriousness in bringing Ronaldo into their squad.
Now that Ronaldo has found a club that treats him very special, his presentation with Al Nassr was even more magnificent when he was presented as a Real Madrid player. Together with Al Nassr will make Ronaldo the highest-paid player that is difficult for other players to break at least in the next few years.

People that all is going to want unbelievable things from the player. Regardless of whether him being capable of that or not. Personally, I think a player is not bound to do that for anyone. And that is why I think Cristiano Ronaldo has made the right choice.

I think we also have to remember that the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo was very upset at Manchester United was because he was not being treated well in that club. But right now after the welcome that he received from his new club, he should be feeling a lot happier by watching the reception that he got. Let’s remember one thing Cristiano Ronaldo does not owe anything to anyone.

I am very much surprised at those that are mocking Ronaldo
for making his all right choice that will give him peace of mind and happiness and especially that will give him more money. There is nothing you can tell me about humanbeing apart from making more money even as rich As Ronaldo is he still needs more money to continue to maintain his standard and level take care of his family and extended ones .

His strength is gradually failing because 38 is a very large number so he should not gamble his career again, he should enjoy his money and old age

The problem is if Liverpool let him go, the defensive lineup of Liverpool is going to be in big problems.

knowing that liverpool is having serious problems in the defense, i think it would not be wise to sell him at this moment because liverpool already has many players in the attack with injuries and they cannot keep hiring players for the attack because when those who are injured do not improve liverpool there will be a way to manage so many players in the team, the same thing can happen in the attack, so I think that what liverpool needs to do is try to see which are the good players that are in defense and not sell them and then see which are the players that they are not good in defense but they can improve and find a way to work with them until the whole team doesn't have too many injuries

After the match, Klopp showed his discontent over some of the decisions during the match. The German was not happy with the third goal, claiming Konate was fouled before Mbeumo netted.

He said: “The third goal should not be a goal, easy as that! Trying to talk to the officials about it is like trying to talk to my microwave.”

Klopp added that Brentford managed to control the game due to the way the referee whistled the match.

He added: “Brentford could dictate the game because of how it got whistled.

“They stretched the rules. That’s why it’s really difficult. VAR hides behind the phrase ‘not clear and obvious’. The referee needs to explain that.”

Klopp continued: “We had a meeting before the season. The behaviour in the box, the ref will whistle. They don’t do it. I don’t expect anything in our favour. There’s a reason Brentford are so successful with offensive set pieces and not defensive set pieces.”

“The third goal I really cannot respect.”

well, it's pretty clear that we're at the bottom of the abyss, but we shouldn't be selling players because we're not going to get out of the abyss by doing that, and it's very difficult for us to see liverpool in that situation

There is an info pollution about the Enzo Fernandez transfer to Chelsea. Because this time it is claimed by some sources that Chelsea aren't much willing to pay the amount in his release clause - 120 million euros. But before this news, it was like they were even ready to pay more than this value considering the probable terms of the deal with his release clause amount. They were thinking like they would be in more profit.

If they really pay such an amount then I wonder if they will be able to allocate that much money for some other transfers. They have made their striker moves though and Enzo Fernandez move would strengthen the midfield. I don't know if they would think of transfers for some other positions.

They have said this before because they will try their best to do that but still bring Enzo to Stampord Bridge even though until now there has been no further information on this matter.
On the other hand, of course, this is a little difficult because apart from Enzo, several players were previously brought in at not cheap prices, let's say Benoit with a transfer fee of 38 million and Nkunku worth 53 million.

Right. It is a pity that Ronaldo himself had principles and instead of a guaranteed warm place where he would continue to break records for several more years, he (due to Ferguson's opinion) refused to go to City and moved to United. It was a patriotic decision, but it all ended in scandal and an ugly parting.
But now Ronaldo will receive maximum respect in the new place and I hope all parties to this deal will be satisfied.

Depay is in between leaving Barcelona and staying there now.

It is like he is expected to join Manchester United in case of leaving. After a long time it would be interesting to watch him playing for them again. His old times there weren't very impressive to tell the truth. However we aren't watching the same Depay anymore as well. He is much more productive than those times when he has the chance. He is just unlucky now that Lewandowski is here and he can't find many chances in the starting eleven as a result. Xavi wants him to stay anyway because he won't have any striker alternative left other than Lewandowski if Depay leaves.

Depay was brought to Barcelona because there was a good chemistry between the then coach of Barcelona, Ronald Koeman and Depay. Both had a good cooperation in the Dutch national team. However, Depay is not of a world class, and was made better by Koeman than he actually was. It also has a reason that he is always on the couch. He was close to a transfer to Juventus in the summer, but that did not happen for financial reasons. Of course there are always a few clubs that are interested in Depay, but he should not assume that many European top clubs are. Then you should rather think of Subtop clubs. The most important thing is that he will play football again in the base.

[SquallLeonhart]

We have watched end of an era, Ronaldo is a 5 time ballon d'or winner and he is one of the all time greatest players ever in history of football, just because he is not that player anymore now, doesn't negate all the amazing things he has done in his career. It is not there anymore, he is going to play for Al-Nassr and I hope that he scores as many as he wants and wins as much as he wants, and be happy there.

I am not going to say I am not disappointed, would have loved to see him stay at Madrid and retire there whenever he wanted to, sad to see him leave there and then his career go down hill from there but it is unfortunately true right now. Sad to see, but still a king in my book.
