Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[hyudien]

This Al Nasr side isn't what they used to and this has made me not consider the Al Nasr team during my picks, when Inzaghi someone emerged as coach of the Al Nasr team, I though he would bring his wealth of experience and turn things around for the better but with what I have seen so far, am not really convinced and I do not think they would win the Saudi professional league title despite being at the top of the table at the moment.

They are currently struggling to win games and this alone shows that they are not looking well because the league is still very much open for any team to actually get the win and with the way they are playing it's just a matter of time before they actually get to lose out points in the title race and the two teams behind them are well active and waiting for any opportunities that would be given to them.

And this is exactly the reason why am doubtful about their ability to win the title, if they were a bit consistent then it would have been more easier to consider them( Al Nasr) as potential winners but due to the state of the team I can't confidently state that Al Nasr would win this title, I think there are other teams too that deserve to win this title due to level of hard work they have put since the beginning of the season till this very moment.

First, I'd like to correct a mistake, Inzaghi is the coach of Al Hilal.
Now, back to the discussion, you've probably noticed that after three poor matches, Al Nasr has rediscovered what they been building since the start of the season, returning to a solid defense and scoring more than two goals in each match, this proves that Al Nasr is ready to lift the title at the end of the season, Indeed, in their last match they were not very satisfactory, but that does not mean their performance was bad, it was because Neom played with a solid defense.
I still believe that with what Al Nassr is currently doing, they deserve to be a strong contender.

Yeah, I agree with that. even their current ranking is enough proof that this team is indeed the most deserving when it comes to which team is the most persistent and solid in pursuing the championship title. when this team is at its best, their defense is almost impenetrable. And in only a few matches, this team occasionally struggles to score more than one goal. The last match is a prime example. Because that was a match without Cristiano Ronaldo. The team had to adapt again, as had happened before.

Nassr nearly drew against Neom. I thought I'd lose my bet, but fortunately, Simakan capitalized on a shot from Joao Felix, resulting in a goal for Al Nassr. The match ended with a 0-1 victory for Al Nassr. I ultimately won my bet. I think the bookies were initially happy, but Simakan was disappointed because many had predicted Al Nassr's victory. alNassr had numerous chances, but unfortunately, Al Nassr struggled to score against Neom Neom played well, apparently knowing what to do against al nassr

Those who were betting on Al Nassr must have felt the same way as me, as most of them predicted Al Nassr's victory. The spectators supporting Al Nassr were very happy that Al Nassr had finally defeated Neom, even without Ronaldo playing

Three points well secured even with the average performance, now sited at the top of the table with two points difference ahead of the team at the second position is Al Nassr, in a as much as this is still beaming some hope, I do not really like the fact that they are not stable and the point difference are just too slim that a match alone can get them displaced, they should do better.

Well, the 3 points is what really matters in the end, even if the performance was not very convincing enough. Matches like this happen sometimes where a big team struggles but still finds a way to win regardless. Al Nassr actually created chances but just  had difficulty breaking down Neom’s defensive line and credit to Neom because they played with a good plan. Luckily for Al Nassr, Simakan took the opportunity and secured the win, But honestly the gap at the top is still very small I won’t agues that. If they want to stay there, they need to become more consistent because one bad result can easily push them down the table.

Well it matters that they got 3 points against NEOM. But it also matters that Ronaldo is now ruled out for up to 4 weeks. This means that he will not be available for more than half of Al Nassr's remaining matches. Next up are matches against weak teams such as Al Khaleej, Al Najma and Al Akhdoud. But after that they have a series of tough matches, against opponents such as Al Ettifaq (on 24th April), Al Ahli (28th April) and Al Qadisiyah (2nd May). If Ronaldo's recovery gets delayed, then Al Nassr will not be very comfortable while playing against these teams.

You're right,, Al Nasr shouldn't be too worried about their upcoming matches because they'll only be facing relatively weak opponents. So,, even without Ronaldo, Al Nasr still has a good chance of winning. However,, in crucial matches like Al Ahli and Al Qadisiyah,, I feel Ronaldo will be greatly needed. I believe that if Ronaldo is still absent against Al Ahli or Al Qadisiyah, Al Nasr could lose.

Even if Ronaldo can play, Al Nasr usually struggles against these teams. Therefore, Ronaldo must recover, even sooner than expected. Obviously, an earlier recovery is better, as Ronaldo won't be as stiff on the pitch. However, we'll see whether Ronaldo can or notplay in those crucial matches. So we can only hope now, because if Ronaldo doesn't recover when facing these strong teams, I think Al Nasr will definitely fail to become champions again.

You saw how Al Nassr struggled against NEOM. So it's not like Al Nassr needs him only against strong teams. Even against teams such as Al Khaleej and Al Najma, it is going to be tough for Al Nassr without Ronaldo. I am not sure why the other players are not performing up to the mark. João Félix was really good when he first joined Al Nassr, but gradually he also started underperforming. In case of Sadio Mané, he never played at his full potential ever since he joined Al Nassr in 2023. In short, Al Nassr is still a one-man army, headed by Cristiano Ronaldo.

You know, I sometimes shake my head when I see people saying that Ronaldo has nothing to offer in the Al Nassir team or saying that he is not leading them right. Others say he only scores penalties and so many ill talks against him. Ronaldo remains an engine room at Al Nassir because even his presence in the pitch brings fear among the opponents who understands that any act of mistakes will make them concede. So the threat he poses on the defense is all the team needs to win their game even if he doesn't score. I just hope the team won't loose points before his return which will destroy all his efforts this season.

João Felix underperformance is not abnormal as there are many inconsistent players nowadays which is why fans have to stop comparing these lads to legends who have stood the test of time. Many people almost insisted that Ronaldo should be thrown out of the team when João Felix first arrived, but then we're seeing it already. João Felix is a good player but performs better alongside a challenging player. Sadio Mane has been cool too, but I still wonder why he hasn't break into the sadio Mane we use to know at Liverpool, maybe J. Jesus will have to rediscover his potential and give him a free playing ground he needs. Al Nassir will be playing Al Khaleej next away, I hope they win this game to maintain their lead on the table.

Al Nassr fought hard against Neom in yesterday's game and we should note that they were fortunate to win because the main thing is that Al Nassr faced an unexpected obstacle in yesterday's twenty fifth game against Neom team even according to what I saw, they scored the decisive goal of the match in the 95th minute. So their current ranking proves which team is the most persistent to win the title. Here is your valuable argument that after this 25th game, there is only a two-point gap between Al Nassr and Al Ahli Saudi team and Al Hilal has 61 points so it seems that the point difference is so small that one game can displace them, also Al Nassr's next away game is against Al Khaleej so I can somewhat believe that this team is not worthy of being a strong contender.

These teams are been referred to  as relatively weak but then the said relatively weak teams are the ones who get to become a problem to the big side some times so it is best to not even see them in that light and as much as possible play them at your very best because the title race is closing on them very quickly and any slight mistake now will just cost them what they have spent the whole season fighting for.

[Volgastallion]

So you are tell me that Cristiano Ronaldo is losing time to reach the 1000 goals milestone thanks to the fact of Iran open a war into the whole arabian and gulf countries?

Damn that was not in my bingo card of 2026 i have to very 100% honest with you.

I hope to see all stabilize soon there and see Cristiano coming back to end the season and be much more close to the 1000 goals milestone, but after it i hope he rethinks about living in Saudi Arabia and comesback to europe.

As far as I know the Saudi League is not affected by Iran conflict and the match is still going on, Ronaldo did not play due to injury and is expected to be out for the next 2-4 weeks
I have no doubt about his target of reaching 100 goals it's just a shame that Al Nassr played without Ronaldo as we know he is the main contributor for Al Nassr goals and also the competition in the top 3 is very tight, I'm afraid Al Nassr made a mistake. On April 28 Al Nassr will face Al Ahli yeah this is a fight for first place in the standings because currently the difference between the two teams is only 2 points.

Ronaldo's 1000 goal target wouldn't be this calendar year anymore, maybe the next one, the war has put Saudi at risk and the league is likely to be suspended, his first title with Al Nassr could also be impossible this year due to the uncertainty happening around middle east. Has he made it out of there, or still in Saudi, I only heard his private jet left, while he stayed back.

The league is open to both Al Hilal and Al Nassr and the club who can be consistent till the end will definitely win the title. I think, Al Hilal might have lost the battle but Al Nassr just need to stay focus on winning the rest of their matches or to favor them more let Al Hilal drop more points. Three points difference is still very small to me.

Honestly I think you're right, the ongoing war will definitely put the Saudi league on hold soon because they can't continue to risk the lives of players over football. There's uncertainty about if Saudi Arabia is affected but I am not sure if Ronaldo is still in Saudi Arabia.

It will be a pain if the league is suspended since Ronaldo's dream to reach 1000 goals will be on hold. Although it will be good for him as he recovers from injury without not missing many games. I hope this doesn't affect Al Nassr chances of winning the league.

I read on Twitter few days ago that Ronaldo is currently injured and has left the country to continue his treatment in Spain. I don't know if it's related to the ongoing war but according to the news he is in Spain for treatment.

It's good news If he's left the middle east, his muscle fatigue would heal before his next game, ACL matches has been postponed until further notice, Ronaldo will have enough time to go through the healing process before playing again, and his club won't fear over his absence since games won't be going on at the moment in Saudi.

I thought with the presence of Jaoa Felix and Sadio Mane, they are going to form a huge replacement for Ronaldo anytime he’s absent but when you look at the reality here, it is difficult for the team whenever Ronaldo is absent. They feel his absence and are forced to trying to adapt but it always difficult to do so. I hope ronaldo comes back real quickly in the subsequent matches so he can continue to push the team forward in the best direction.

Ronaldo could be back in shape by the middle of this month, and the postponement of the match due to unforeseen circumstances in Saudi Arabia could benefit the players recovering. Al Nassr also shouldn't worry about Ronaldo being unable to play in certain matches, as they still have other players who can strengthen the team as usual. However, I hope Al Nassr doesn't suffer any more losses so they can maintain their top spot in the standings until the end of the season.

[ITExpert]

At last Al Nassr scored in injury time and claimed all 3 points. Mohamed Simakan rescued Al Nassr if not they nearly played draw which would have been very problematic for them since Al Ahli Jeddah and Al Hilal are chasing after them relentlessly. Neom is not a serious team but i wonder how they gave Al Nassr headache in this match. Al Nassr must continue winning all their matches if they really want to win the Saudi Pro League because if they lose points at this time and any of Al Hilal or Al Ahli Jeddah moves to the top, that will be the end of it because Al Nassr may not top the table again.

I think this is very sensitive time for Al-Nassr and they have to be careful for thri every move. And the match was won by Al-Nassr in the very last moments otherwise the match seems out of the court of Al-Nassar. And I think this is very wrong time of Ronald's absence he should be in the time now. But his injury is also a genuine reason and he try to overcome soon so the team can continue with strength. Because now they need to win almost every remaining match so that they can get their desired place. The competition is very hard and they has to stop other teams to manage the top position and this is necessary for Al-Nassr to win the Saudi Pro league. And I personally favour Al-Nassr that they have  to win this league with the energy and strength they started the season.

Cristiano Ronaldo getting injury and possibility absent for several upcoming matches later in domestic league, I think difficult for him break the record 100 goals target in this season behind the saudi pro league has several matches left. Ronaldo rumor back to Madrid for medical check up and fully focus for recovery as soon as possible from injury, I think difficult position for Al Nassr keep consistent in the winning trend and defend the top position.
Last match, Al Nassr winning one goal only against Neom without Cristiano Ronaldo looks difficult for scoring many goals and wish this season Al Nassr can winning the domestic league tittle then Ronaldo comeback early from injury.
