Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Just Say]

Al-Nassr football team could not win this match and they could not win last 3 matches and two matches were draw and one match lost by that team.

Currently we see that Al Nassr has not been able to win those matches that you mentioned here but they gave us a perfect win yesterday in the AFC Champions League. From this AFC Champions League match, we were able to see goals from two Al Nassr players, meaning two players from their team were able to score goals in this match. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score in this match, his team has already managed to reach the quarter-final round. We saw the news on Twitter that Cristiano Ronaldo's club has already reached the quarter-finals.

[Solokan]

Al Nassr could be beating teams in AFC, but the trouble is their own league and they are not doing all that amazing at their own league, they should be doing much better there. I get that it may not be looking amazing for the time being, but they have a potential to be better.

Look at how Ronaldo still scores, but are they going to just keep expecting him to score like this? Dude is 40 years old, going into next year he will become 41 years old, he can't score 20+ goals a season all the time. They need to figure out a way to have a much better defense, without their defense they can't be good at all. Plus, Mane isn't really amazing, they need some more talented players around Ronaldo because he isn't the player to make them much better all by himself.

yes indeed sometimes I also do not understand this because Al Nassr should have been able to perform better in his own league (SPL) but after I thought about it yes indeed this is not a strange thing because indeed from the past it seems like it has always been like this and certainly not a few are surprised by the situation that befell Al Nassr because in LCA he seemed to perform better compared to in SPL the proof is now Al Nassr has succeeded in getting a ticket to the top 8. but yes of course it is true that with an incident like this of course Al Nassr still has good potential for the future in SPL and others.

but of course we will not know whether Cristiano Ronaldo will always appear to score goals or not but yes it does not seem easy for Cristiano Ronaldo at his age which is certainly not young anymore especially in the future which is certain yes Ronaldo's age will be 41 years old certainly not a few people doubt Ronaldo's abilities. but yes it seems that Al Nassr needs to bring in stronger players to be side by side with Ronaldo and good defenders so that Ronaldo can score many goals because of course at his age which is no longer young it must not be easy for Ronaldo to realize his dream of scoring 1000 goals. but yes I personally believe that Ronaldo will have great potential to realize his dream because for Ronaldo I think age is just a number. yes now we'll just see what happens later.

Al Nassr had a good win and a better performance yesterday in their AFC champions League game. After few long time, Al Nassr finally won with good performance unlike their past few matches were they with perform well but end up drawing. Or playing bad and still end up losing. This win means that they have qualified for the Quarter finals of the competition where they hope to redeem their season, because this is the only trophy they can try in getting their hands on, as for the league, tha one has already gone out of their grasp.

[Slow death]

They need to figure out a way to have a much better defense, without their defense they can't be good at all.

Goals conceded involving the top 5 teams:

Al Ittihad = 23 goals conceded (First position in the table)

Al Hilal = 28 goals conceded (Second position in the table)

Al Quadisiya = 20 goals conceded (Third position in the table)

Al Nassr = 26 goals conceded (Fourth position in the table)

Al hali = 23 goals conceded (Fifth position in the table)

Note that Al Hilal has conceded more goals compared to Al Nassr, but Al Hilal is still fighting for the title, so Al Nassr's biggest problem is not in defense, but in attack, which is not efficient in all games, they fluctuate

Plus, Mane isn't really amazing, they need some more talented players around Ronaldo because he isn't the player to make them much better all by himself.

I agree, unfortunately Mane made the biggest mistake by leaving Liverpool, In this league his good skills are disappearing, he doesn't even seem like the same Mane from Liverpool anymore and who carried the entire Senegal national team by himself, this season he only played 9 games and only scored 1 goal.

Plus, Mane isn't really amazing, they need some more talented players around Ronaldo because he isn't the player to make them much better all by himself.

If Al-Nassr Club and the fans of this club only expect goals from Ronaldo, they should get out of that mindset. If Ronaldo could lead the team to victory or score goals in all the matches alone, there would be no need for ten other players in the XI. Overall, Al-Nassr's performance this season seems random to me. As Al-Nassr is not able to perform consistently, they are also not able to compete equally with all the other teams in this league. Al-Nassr has been far behind the number one and number two teams in the points table in the few matches that have been played so far this season. If Al-Nassr performs like this in the future, their position may fall further down the points table.

[Tamaperdana]

The current competition seems to only be between Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad. As for Al-Nassr, I am now starting to doubt that they will still be able to compete again. Because some of the bad results they have had in the last few matches really make anyone who watches them doubt Al-Nassr's current performance. But that doesn't mean the hope they have is lost. But this hope is very slim and almost impossible. Meanwhile, for Al-hilal, competition continues to be able to reclaim the top position from Al-ittihad. And maybe the excitement this season will take place just by watching the competition between these two teams.

I personally no longer have high expectations for Al Nasr, because even though Al Nasr has a new player who is quite good, namely Duran, it turns out that this is not enough to make Al Nasr consistently win every match. So with this I assume that currently Al Nasr no longer has great hopes of becoming champions in the Saudi Arabian League. Moreover, the difference in points that Al Nasr currently has with the top 2 teams in the Saudi Arabian League is quite far. This of course further reduces Al Nasr's potential to become champions in the Saudi Arabian League.

Maybe right now Al Nasr just has to survive with its current position. Because it would certainly be very embarrassing if Al Nasr could not finish in the top 4. Because of his expensive squad plus a very famous coach, Pioli, of course there would be a lot of bullying from his own fans if for example this season Al Nasr was only able to finish in 5th or 6th position. So that's why Al Nasr currently only has to stay in 4th or 3rd position until the end of this season. Because if we talk about the title race, I don't think Al Nasr will be able to compete well this season.

Al Hilal has a strong defense. They have Kalidou Koulibaly and Yassine Bounou. As a result, they give full freedom for Aleksandar Mitrović and Marcos Leonardo. On the other hand, Al Nassr has one of the weakest defense for any club currently playing in the Saudi Professional League. And this means that mid-field need to constantly provide support for the defenders. So the statistic that you have put up here can be slightly misleading. Al Hilal can afford to concede more goals and still win matches.

[LUCKMCFLY]

what do you think about the Al Shabab vs Al Nassr match, is it possible for Al Nassr to win again? because in their last match Al Nassr won at that time. but it seems like I will bet on Al Nassr's victory in that match.

Well, the truth is that I was surprised by the result. The match was going very well, but I don't know why they turn it around so easily and end in draws, ending up losing valuable points. Yesterday was a good day, they won 3-0 against Esteghlal, where CR7 shined and Duran, for me these goals were excellent. If they start winning everything from now on they can make the difference, because we have seen that the teams that are on the right track have lost, have drawn and it is a very good moment for Al Nassr to take advantage.

Al Nassr needs more than just a striker, their strike force is just ok with especially after the addition of Duran in the just concluded transfer window. Al Nassr needs a player who can detect and control the midfield and of cause a solid pair of defenders will do just fine. I believe if they strengthen the team by the summer they can then push for the title, as for now, I really don't think they are ready to challenge the likes of Al Littihad and Al Hilal at the moment, my opinion though.

AL Nassr is like Tottenham in Premier League they don't know how to defend when they are winning, AL Nassr will be winning and before the match ends they will concede a goal, AL Nassr never plays that they will not concede a goal and that is what is affecting the team performance, Al Nassr never win a match without conceding goal, If not Ronaldo is 40 and it will be difficult for a team to sign him because of his age I will prefer Ronaldo to leave the team because nobody see his effort.

AL Nassr will never win any trophy if they do not sign players like the way AL Hilal did, AL Hilal is signing world-class players and they do not mind how much they sign the players and AL Nassr will be looking at it until AL Hilal wins the league title and they will be blaming the coach, signing Mane looks like AL Nassr waste their money because the guy doesn't even play like Mane that we all know, AL Nassr needs to learn from other teams.

If Al-Nassr performs like this in the future, their position may fall further down the points table.

This has been one of their major problem why their performance has remained unimproved both last season and this, their over reliance on Ronaldo isn't good for the club strength and progress, when they know fully well that Ronaldo is already at his 40 years and just has few more years and season to spend in his football career before his final retirement from anything football.

[Sithara007]

Winning the AFC champions League would definitely add another prestigious title to Ronaldo’s already illustrious career. His leadership, experience, and goal scoring prowess have been crucial for Al Nassr, and securing continental silverware would solidify the club's status as a dominant force in Asia. It will indeed be a historic achievement as Al Nassr has never won the AFC Champions League so this would be a big moment for both the player and the club.

Topping the AFC champions League would be a long-shot. For now, they have qualified for the quarter-finals. If they are able to do so, then that would lessen the disappointment from their performance in this season's Saudi Professional League. But Ronaldo will be disappointed. He is representing Al Nassr since 2023. And he may end up his stint at the club without even a single SPL title. And he can't do much about it as well. He hardly got any support from other players such as Jhon Durán and Sadio Mané.

Al Nassr's performance in the AFC is in stark contrast to their performance in the Saudi Professional League this season, even though they are currently ranked 4th in the standings. It is very different when they are in the AFC competition, they perform well, even Ronaldo looks very sharp in this match, the chemistry with his teammates is increasing regularly. Maybe it is true as you think, Al Nassr has now given up on lifting the SPL trophy considering that they are too far behind in points with Al Ittihad in first place so Al Nassr will focus on the AFC competition because that will be more realistic for them.

I actually see Al Nassr's current weakness not in Ronaldo's colleagues such as Mane and Jhon Durán. However, Al Nassr's current weakness is what makes them ranked 4th in the standings because their defense is very fragile, we can even see that they cannot secure victory when they are ahead. So I hope Al Nassr can evaluate their defense line so that next season they can play in the SPL and Ronaldo's dream of presenting the SPL trophy can come true.

Al-Nassr will not win the Saudi Pro League with this squad. Cristiano Ronaldo is not enough to guarantee the title and his teammates aren't that helpful in every game.
Right now they should target AFC Champions League since teams there aren't way better than them. There is Al-Hilal that will play next and they are 1 goal behind in aggregate.

[doomloop]

AL Nassr is like Tottenham in Premier League they don't know how to defend when they are winning, AL Nassr will be winning and before the match ends they will concede a goal, AL Nassr never plays that they will not concede a goal and that is what is affecting the team performance, Al Nassr never win a match without conceding goal, If not Ronaldo is 40 and it will be difficult for a team to sign him because of his age I will prefer Ronaldo to leave the team because nobody see his effort.

I agree partially as Al Nassr is having good players but sadly not able to won, but they are still much better than Tottenham which never won Premier League and their last big win was League Cup in 2007 to 2008.

Here Al Nassr is having good record as six years ago they won Saudi Pro League and things are also good for them in few other events which is encouraging even in this season hopes were high but their defense and strategy not able to give them any success which is surely huge disappointing. Al Nassr can win, but they have to work hard and also have fixed their few problems before start their attack is one of the best but their players depth and their defense always keep things on problems.

[Volgastallion]

I feel like Cristiano Ronaldo cant celebrate anything yet or in a real way, i mean how you can made a show when you dont win anything meaningfull as a team and plus in the league is a failure and otehr failure all over again, and yes not being the champion of the league for a team like Al Nassr is a failure.

Of course it is almost impossible to win the league title now but they still have a chance to win a trophy this season at least if they play well in the AFC champions league. Being in the quarterfinals is a great achievement but this is the time that they need to be more serious as the competition is getting more competitive. It is a pity that Ronaldo will not win the SPL title again this season after all the goals and efforts he has put in for the team. Everyone is trying but they are just not good enough yet to win but they should keep trying and not give up yet.

Al-Nassr will not win the Saudi Pro League with this squad. Cristiano Ronaldo is not enough to guarantee the title and his teammates aren't that helpful in every game.

The players are good just that they haven’t had a coach good enough to put things in order and make them better although I believe they will get better and eventually win the SPL title.

Yes, I think it will be a bit difficult for Al Nasr to win the trophy in the ACL, because although it is true that Al Nasr's performance was quite good during the qualifying round and in the round of 16. But in the quarter-finals I think Al Nasr will face a much tougher challenge. Because the teams that managed to qualify for the quarter-finals can be said to have quite great performances. For example, Al Sadd who is currently in second place in the Qatar league, then there are teams like Buriram FC who are at the top of the standings in the Thai league, then there are Al Hilal and Al Ahli too. So with this, I think Al Nasr will have quite a tough challenge in this quarter-final.

Therefore, if you say that Al Nasr will easily become champions in the ACL, I think that assumption is not quite right. Because in my personal opinion, in the quarter-finals, I am a little doubtful that Al Nasr can win and advance to the semifinals. Because if Al Nasr has a strong opponent like Al Hilal or Al Ahli, I think it will make it difficult for Al Nasr to win. But even so, I will continue to pray for Al Nasr to be able to have a good performance and be able to advance to the final round and win this competition. Because I personally also feel a little sorry for Ronaldo who has never won a truly prestigious trophy for Al Nasr during his career from 2023 to the present. That is why if Ronaldo's can't give any more trophies to Al Nasr this season, I think Ronaldo will really leave Al Nasr without satisfaction. Because as we know Ronaldo's contract at Al Nasr is until 2025. So this season is Ronaldo's last season at Al Nasr.

[Sithara007]

Again unjustified hatred towards Cristiano Ronaldo. Imagine Al Nassr without Ronaldo. At the moment they are at the 4th place in points table. If not for him, they would not be even in the top-10. Blaming Ronaldo for Al Nassr's failure is like putting the blame on Kylian Mbappé for the missed penalties from Kingsley Coman and Aurélien Tchouaméni during the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Ronaldo is a forward. He can't manage Al Nassr's midfield and defense. The team management need to think about that.

[Luzin]

Failing in the last 16 of the Champions League, Mohamed Salah may end up at Liverpool this year. I asked his agent to offer him to Barcelona, but his financial condition made it seem impossible. But there are rumors, if Mohamed Salah has received a deal from Al-Ittihad. Mohamed Salah will join Karim Benzema. Currently, he is highly anticipated to make a rivalry with Ronaldo.
