Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Slow death]

A bad start for Al Nassr as they had to start the league with a draw. Ronaldo was the scorer again and again in this match, but the goals he created were not enough to bring victory to Al Nassr as they still conceded.
They did not lack opportunities, but they could not make the most of them so they could only score one goal. They actually had to concede a goal early in the second half through a penalty. They were unlucky in this match and this also left another note. They could not concentrate quickly, especially at the beginning of the match, which is what made them finally get a penalty. Yes, that is a note that they must immediately fix.

It is already very clear that Al Nassr needs to fire coach Luis Castro because he is not able to bring good results to the team, you don't need to be a genius to see that. That's why I don't understand why the Al Nassr board didn't fire him last season and could have hired another coach who could have made some good signings for this season and Al Nassr would have had good results. It is not possible that a team that did not do well last season, continue with the same squad and coach this season and expect to have good results. That doesn't make any sense.


AL Akhdood 0 - 3 AL Hilal

this guy Aleksandar Mitrović and this guy Jorge Jesus They are making history at AL Hilal, they will be able to win the league for the second time in a row this season. I have always said that coach Jorge Jesus is a great coach and that he should coach some big team in the Premier League or La Liga. It was an incredible victory, it showed a great superiority of AL Hilal and the most interesting thing is that AL Hilal did not concede any goals in this game. Congratulations Jorge Jesus

Luis Castro's performance seems to be not very satisfying because he has many quality players in the team but he failed to bring victory to the team. Even when Al Nassr was humiliated by Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup, the management should have fired him at that time. Al Nassr's performance so far has not changed because in their first match they lost maximum points because Al Raed was able to hold Al Nassr to a draw in the first match of the season. On the one hand, Ronaldo has a good relationship with Luis Castro and it could be because of their close relationship that Luis Castro's position is quite safe in the Al Nassr coaching chair.

Of course, if you look at their rivals Al Hilal, they appear quite consistent because they managed to beat their opponents in the first match of the season. Mitrovic was able to maintain his good performance because he continued to contribute by scoring goals and bringing Al Hilal to 3 points.

Yes, that is a note that they must immediately fix.

Actually Al Nassr started the season well, it's just that they were unlucky in this match, there were many opportunities but the goalkeeper Al Raed in this match also performed quite well. Al Nassr should have also been able to win this match if Ronaldo's second goal was not disallowed for offside, this offside was also full of controversy with the referee's decision but that's how football is sometimes unlucky. This draw made Al Nassr lose two points in front of their own supporters.

Although it is still early, Al Nassr still has a lot of time to fix the team to be able to compete in the league. Al Nassr only needs a good and experienced defender so that it no longer gives an extra burden to the goalkeeper during the match. Al Nassr still needs to build a solid squad and be able to work well and must no longer give a heavy burden to Ronaldo. The back line, midfield, and front line must have good chemistry so that Al Nassr can win every match consistently.

Al Nassr is going to have a nightmare if they lose Ronaldo or this player gets retired and he can't play for some weeks. Currently, the whole team is based on Ronaldo in Al Nassr and he is the most important player for Al Nassr if he is in the bad form, Al Nassr is in the bad form and he is more than just a normal player for Al Nassr. Maybe Al Nassr should start using the investment they had and they should try using players like Ronaldo to get other younger players more experienced by using Ronaldo.

Yes, so far he has not been able to meet expectations. The draw in the first match indicated that there are a few areas where it is essential to effect an immediate improvement, particularly tactics and strategy. and one more thing to weigh is his good relationship with players such as Ronaldo, who can bring stability in the team.

Al Hilal have been more consistent under their manager who continues to make brilliant performances. But that does not mean Al Nassr has no chance to rise again. The season is still long, and there is a lot of time for Luis Castro to change everything.

Al Nassr is going to have a nightmare if they lose Ronaldo or this player gets retired and he can't play for some weeks. Currently, the whole team is based on Ronaldo in Al Nassr and he is the most important player for Al Nassr if he is in the bad form, Al Nassr is in the bad form and he is more than just a normal player for Al Nassr. Maybe Al Nassr should start using the investment they had and they should try using players like Ronaldo to get other younger players more experienced by using Ronaldo.  

Sure, Ronaldo is an important player for Al Nassr and his contribution is key, but to rely on one player in the long run is a risk-driven strategy. Success, at the end of the day, should not be contingent upon one player's performance— however great he may be. There are many other talented players in Al Nassr who can make big contributions as well if they get a chance and trust.

[TelolettOm]

Actually Al Nassr started the season well, it's just that they were unlucky in this match, there were many opportunities but the goalkeeper Al Raed in this match also performed quite well. Al Nassr should have also been able to win this match if Ronaldo's second goal was not disallowed for offside, this offside was also full of controversy with the referee's decision but that's how football is sometimes unlucky.

Al Nassr started this season by getting 2 bad results. They got defeated with big scores by Al Hilal in the final of Saudi Super Cup. They also got a draw result in the first match of Saudi league. It is strange if you assume Al Nassr begins the season well. In the match against Al Raed, they made many shots, they were not unlucky but they have lack of shot accuracy. It is difficult to win the match if Al Nassr only relies on the goals made by Ronaldo. Mane or Talisca should score goals, too. Al Nassr attackers arn't Ronaldo only, right?

Although it is still early, Al Nassr still has a lot of time to fix the team to be able to compete in the league. Al Nassr only needs a good and experienced defender so that it no longer gives an extra burden to the goalkeeper during the match.

Al Nassr doesn't have a lot of time to fix it, they will play against a strong team in matchday 3 (against Al Ahli). If Luis Castro still can't fix the problem, they may get bad result again in matchday 3. I think Al Nassr needs the improvement of all their lines. They are not only easy to get conceded goals, they also have lack of goals now.

It is already very clear that Al Nassr needs to fire coach Luis Castro because he is not able to bring good results to the team, you don't need to be a genius to see that. That's why I don't understand why the Al Nassr board didn't fire him last season and could have hired another coach who could have made some good signings for this season and Al Nassr would have had good results.

I've said this since the last season. Luis Castro has no capability to improve the performance of Al Nassr. Under his management, Al Nassr even never won against Al Hilal. It is proven that Al Nassr is very weak and no hope to compete against Al Hilal.

Al Nassr's performance in the match was very disappointing, I thought Al Nassr would start with a win at home but instead they only got a draw and were only able to score 1 goal in the first half, Ronaldo always scores goals for his club Al Nassr, it seems like all the players depend on him, usually Talischa and Sadio Mane can help Ronaldo score goals, but what's wrong with their performance lately? is it possible that Al Nassr's front line is no longer sharp even though this club relies heavily on these three players. I feel sorry for Ronaldo because he looks the most serious in playing the match but is not supported by solid teammates.

[tusandii]

It was very sad to see my fears come true and I have previously said about these fears here.
Initially I thought Al Wahda - Al Riyadh would only score 2 goals but it turned out that both clubs performed very well and neither wanted to lose points and gave each other a reply ending in a 3-3 draw.
I must give praise to Al Riyadh who played with only 10 players and were able to give a reply of 2 goals and this was the best match for Al Riyadh.
For Al Wahda, it was a bit bad in defense but the attacking players were able to play very well putting pressure on Al Riyadh's defense and were able to score 3 goals but for me Al Riyadh's performance was better than Al Wahda's.

Cristiano Ronaldo breaks world record after starting new YouTube page

Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the world record for the most subscribers in an hour after launching his new YouTube channel.

The sporting superstar made the announcement that he was starting up his own page on the popular social media site on Instagram.

And after just an hour of the page's launch, Ronaldo had reached a million subscribers in an hour - the fastest anyone has ever reached the milestone.

Whether Ronaldo can reach that amount on YouTube remains to be seen, though he is on the right track.

YouTube superstar Mr Beast currently holds the record for the most subscribed channel in the world, who currently has over 311 million.

And fans are already insisting that Ronaldo could best the American media personality, including MMA star Dilon Danis, who wrote: "Mr beast is dead now haha."

Besides being an excellent soccer player, one of the best of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo is a product, and a very successful product. Everything he does or has his signature on it, be it a brand, product, company, will prosper... it's simply impressive, everything he touches turns to gold. Imagine if he talked about bitcoin... would the price go up even more? Remember the Coca-Cola episode... it really moved the market.

Ronaldo's not just a soccer player; he's a global brand. When he moved to Al-Nassr, he didn't just raise their profile; he put the entire Saudi league on the map. The guy's a walking economic stimulus package. Look at his personal ventures. He's got that insane following on social media, and they'll follow him anywhere. He starts a YouTube channel, it'll be the biggest thing on the platform

Ronaldo's not just influencing sports; he's shaping markets. He's got that Midas touch, but it's not about gold; it's about attention, engagement, and cold, hard cash. He's a one-man economic force, and wherever he goes, the money follows

This is the first time in YouTube history that a YouTuber has completed one million subscribers within an hour of having a YouTube account. And the number of subscribers of this account did not stop there, every moment the number of subscribers only increased. I am making this post right now and Ronaldo's YouTube channel has as many subscribers as I post, maybe his YouTube channel will increase. We have known for a long time that Ronaldo has the highest number of Instagram followers and has a huge fanbase on social media unlike any other player in the world. He has started his journey on YouTube, maybe if he is active on YouTube, he will leave behind the best YouTubers in the world in terms of subscribers. Messi created an account on YouTube but the Portuguese star managed to gain a huge amount of subscribers in just a few days where he has probably a little over 2 million subscribers.

I feel sorry for Ronaldo because he looks the most serious in playing the match but is not supported by solid teammates.

Al Nassr had previously led the match with a score of 1 goal through a goal scored by Ronaldo, but as usual, when victory was in sight, the performance and concentration of Al Nassr defenders dropped again and made a foul that could have been avoided in the penalty box, the penalty scored by Al Raed in that match was the goal that made Al Nassr continue to maintain its negative trend after losing in the Super Cup final to Al Hillal this season, the first match didn't go as they expected and I think for now Ronaldo is still not enough to help Al Nassr to become title contenders if they don't immediately improve their defense, Al Nassr, who this season has the ambition to break Al Hillal dominance, seems to still must to move quickly for recruit new players before the transfer market closes.

The opportunity to break the dominance of Al Hilal in the acquisition of the title has not been closed like last season which is quite large in the context of the acquisition of points. If indeed Al Nassr's obstacle lies in the player, I agree if the management of Al Nassr needs to recruit new players if the Al Nassr squad is considered to have experienced obstacles there.
1 point in two matches is certainly not a good result, but the journey is still too far. It is also not good for Al Nassr that the 2024-2025 season is still too early if it continues to fail to win full points.

AL Akhdood 0 - 3 AL Hilal

this guy Aleksandar Mitrović and this guy Jorge Jesus They are making history at AL Hilal, they will be able to win the league for the second time in a row this season. I have always said that coach Jorge Jesus is a great coach and that he should coach some big team in the Premier League or La Liga. It was an incredible victory, it showed a great superiority of AL Hilal and the most interesting thing is that AL Hilal did not concede any goals in this game. Congratulations Jorge Jesus

Luis Castro's performance seems to be not very satisfying because he has many quality players in the team but he failed to bring victory to the team. Even when Al Nassr was humiliated by Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup, the management should have fired him at that time. Al Nassr's performance so far has not changed because in their first match they lost maximum points because Al Raed was able to hold Al Nassr to a draw in the first match of the season. On the one hand, Ronaldo has a good relationship with Luis Castro and it could be because of their close relationship that Luis Castro's position is quite safe in the Al Nassr coaching chair.

Of course, if you look at their rivals Al Hilal, they appear quite consistent because they managed to beat their opponents in the first match of the season. Mitrovic was able to maintain his good performance because he continued to contribute by scoring goals and bringing Al Hilal to 3 points.

This season Al Nassr have only made 2 signings, namely:

Bento - Goalkeeper

Salem Al-Najdi - Left-Back

They haven't signed any new good strikers. Al Nassr's problem is in the attack, which is very weak. Looking at the current strikers, we have a very scary scenario. To be more direct:

Cristiano Ronaldo = he has been trying very hard, but most of the time he hasn't received the ball in perfect conditions to score goals. He would need to have a good player who knows how to make good assists to support him.

Talisca = this guy had a time when he scored a lot of goals, but since he got injured and came back, he hasn't been the same guy, he hasn't been able to score many goals.

Sadio Mane = he doesn't even look like the guy who scored a lot of goals for Liverpool and helped the Senegal national team a lot. Since he arrived at Al Nassr he hasn't been the Sadio Mane of Liverpool. He's been very quiet, he hasn't scored many goals.

Al Nassr needs at least 2 good strikers.

Why do I think the coach should be fired? I think the coach should be fired because he is the one who hires players, he is the one who puts the players on the field, he is the one who defines the team formation and the team strategies. So he should know that Mane and Talisca are not being good attackers and that the team needs 2 better attackers.

[Arenga pinnata]

Al Nassr is going to have a nightmare if they lose Ronaldo or this player gets retired and he can't play for some weeks. Currently, the whole team is based on Ronaldo in Al Nassr and he is the most important player for Al Nassr if he is in the bad form, Al Nassr is in the bad form and he is more than just a normal player for Al Nassr. Maybe Al Nassr should start using the investment they had and they should try using players like Ronaldo to get other younger players more experienced by using Ronaldo.  

I see the mentality problem of Al-nassr players as a problem that needs to be fixed. Apart from that, the accuracy of Al-Nassr's forward players is also not in good condition. Their defense line is also not that strong. And yes, Luis Castro seems to have to immediately improve everything at this club. It is quite surprising to see that Al-Nassr is the only strong team that failed to get full points in its first week in the SPL. This will make Al-nassr's steps quite difficult in the next matches. Because they can't fail again. In the next match, Al-feiha will be the opponent that Al-nassr must face. And I hope Al-Nassr can win. And I see Talisca not playing optimally this season. Maybe because this player was injured at the end of last season. So its performance has not fully returned since then. Because before Talisca was injured we knew he could always be an impressive partner on the front line with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane. What made Al-Nassr's attack line very strong at that time.

[snipie]

Sadio Mane = he doesn't even look like the guy who scored a lot of goals for Liverpool and helped the Senegal national team a lot. Since he arrived at Al Nassr he hasn't been the Sadio Mane of Liverpool. He's been very quiet, he hasn't scored many goals.

Yeah true, Sadio Mane was way better with Liverpool. Since he moved there to Bayern Munich in Bundesliga then to Al-Nassr in Saudi Pro League, he looks weaker and less useful. He doesn't find the suitable place to play in and stressful situations don't help him.
Al-Nassr did require someone to cooperate with Cristiano Ronaldo very well, maybe like Benzema.. This season they have a new team that might be annoying, Al-Qadsiah which is owned by giant Aramco oil company which is trying to get the title or at least top positions. This without counting how good Al-Hilal is this season too.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Al Hilal has transformed into a strong team, with Neymar they wanted to form a strong team but due to injury Neymar was sidelined for the entire season but Al Hilal players proved that they are much stronger without Neymar and they can easily beat any team in the Saudi League. Al Hilal's biggest opponent in the Saudi league is Al Nassr but we all know how they beat them in the final match. They scored four goals early on and should have scored more towards the end of the match. The new season of the Saudi League may start soon and Neymar is likely to be available there. If Neymar joins the XI and performs regularly for Al Hilal then Al Hilal will be like Real Madrid in Europe unstoppable.  
Best of luck for the future matches, and best of luck to Neymar, hopefully he'll be back in the team soon.

Yesterday I saw a lot of news that Neymar will leave Saudi Arabia, he is going to do this after his contract expires in 2025, earlier they wrote that he would like to return to Brazil, and now there are rumors that he would like to return to Barcelona. And so far it is not clear how he will be able to return to the game after such a serious injury, his career in Saudi Arabia was not very successful, and there is still a whole season to prove himself, but we do not know if he is ready to fully return to the game, and how much time he will need for this.

There were earlier rumors of a return to Barcelona but those rumors did not come true. Some action-oriented media say that Neymar will return to the club where he started his football career, while some media say that he will stay in the Saudi league until the 2026 World Cup. There is no clear understanding of Neymar's transfer so we have to accept that all the rumors will be true now. But if Al Hilal wants to keep Neymar and extend his contract then I think Neymar will stay because Al Hilal will get huge annual salary from Neymar. Neymar's return to Barcelona is unlikely, but it is more likely that he will stay at Al Hilal.

Well, despite constant injuries and limited playing time, he has more championship titles than Ronaldo when they both went to Saudi Arabia. Despite his long-term absence, Neymar is still on the list of Al Hilal Club to win the Saudi Pro League, King Cup, and Saudi Arabian Super Cup in the 2023-2024 season . If Neymar returns, it will certainly significantly strengthen Al Hilal, while the club's long-time rival, Al Nassr with famous player Ronaldo, has yet to show signs of improvement before the new season.

But the former PSG star's contributions to the team are negligible. In the context of the club wanting to restructure the squad and cut costs. The huge salary that Neymar is receiving is also said to be a significant financial burden for Al Hilal. Parting ways with Neymar may be a reasonable solution. However, terminating the contract with Neymar is not an easy decision. Al Hilal will have to find a partner willing to take on Neymar and share some of the financial responsibility. Furthermore, losing a star of Neymar's caliber could also affect the club's image and appeal.

I think that the player Neymar has to be given the opportunity to play, it would not be fair to do without his services, besides it would bring a lot more color to the Saudi league, a rivalry between Neymar and CR7 would be great, it's true what you say, as long as Al Nassr is only CR7 it is very difficult, the 10 players have to give their all, they can't play like they have done, they lack is to sweat the shirt as it is, to go out with desire, to go out with hunger, otherwise they will always be second fiddles, they have to change that mentality, or I don't know what they will have to change, but they have to do it.

Former Barcelona star Neymar Jr. has set his sights firmly on a return to the club this summer.

That’s according to journalist Joan Fontes of Bar Canaletes, who has provided an insight into the latest word stemming from the camp of the Brazilian international.

It is of course common knowledge that Barcelona are on the lookout for reinforcements on the left flank before the summer window is out.

Having come up short in their efforts to bring in priority target Nico Williams, however, the Camp Nou brass have been forced to turn their attentions elsewhere.

Recent days have seen a whole host of high-profile options from across the continent tipped as potential additions to Hansi Flick’s squad in Catalunya’s capital.

Al Nassr's performance in the match was very disappointing, I thought Al Nassr would start with a win at home but instead they only got a draw and were only able to score 1 goal in the first half, Ronaldo always scores goals for his club Al Nassr, it seems like all the players depend on him, usually Talischa and Sadio Mane can help Ronaldo score goals, but what's wrong with their performance lately? is it possible that Al Nassr's front line is no longer sharp even though this club relies heavily on these three players. I feel sorry for Ronaldo because he looks the most serious in playing the match but is not supported by solid teammates.

Al Nassr is having same troubling time as they were having in last season things are having no change just because of this we are having no development into their performance after having lost in Super Cup against Al Hilal now their performance against Al Raad is also not good as they fail to take advantage playing at home ended on draw by 1–1 but still Cristiano Ronaldo is having good time he started with goal and keep his record for scoring going.

Attack of Al Nassr is having good depth, but things are not going good as they needed so they are suffering Bento is also having not good start as he fails to have any clean sheet from his early games in this club.

The opportunity to break the dominance of Al Hilal in the acquisition of the title has not been closed like last season which is quite large in the context of the acquisition of points. If indeed Al Nassr's obstacle lies in the player, I agree if the management of Al Nassr needs to recruit new players if the Al Nassr squad is considered to have experienced obstacles there.

With this performance and quality I am not expecting from Al Nassr to have anything positive because their attack is having no coordination to score goals and their defense is also having problems so they are conceding goals consecutively if we have no improvement in coming matches we will have same result for them while we have in last season no trophy and living under the control of Al Hilal because they are doing impressive job and having good start of their defend with good results against top ranked teams.

[Palakka]

Sadio Mane = he doesn't even look like the guy who scored a lot of goals for Liverpool and helped the Senegal national team a lot. Since he arrived at Al Nassr he hasn't been the Sadio Mane of Liverpool. He's been very quiet, he hasn't scored many goals.

Yeah true, Sadio Mane was way better with Liverpool. Since he moved there to Bayern Munich in Bundesliga then to Al-Nassr in Saudi Pro League, he looks weaker and less useful. He doesn't find the suitable place to play in and stressful situations don't help him.
Al-Nassr did require someone to cooperate with Cristiano Ronaldo very well, maybe like Benzema.. This season they have a new team that might be annoying, Al-Qadsiah which is owned by giant Aramco oil company which is trying to get the title or at least top positions. This without counting how good Al-Hilal is this season too.

Mane performance has really decreased if we compare it to when he played at Liverpool previously, but in my opinion this is very natural considering that not all star players are able to maintain their performance well after experiencing injury or moving to another team during this time, but even so I see that Mane still has a big contribution to Al Nassr and we shouldn't be able to compare his role at Liverpool and Al Nassr at this time, even Ronaldo, who is a star and is considered a complex player, still needs support from other players to remain the best, this is actually also applies to Mane who actually appeared very impressive when he was well supported by his teammates at Liverpool, but at Al Nassr I actually saw that he often had to try alone like Ronaldo at the moment, I think if Al nassr were capable give good support to  mane then we will again see the mane as sharp as before.

[bitgolden]

Two things I would like to talk about. First of all, Al Nassr can't get any cups ever if they end up losing or drawing against teams like this, Ronaldo once again scored, and he is doing his best and I think he is not to be blamed for the teams poor form since he arrived, they could have won a title if they built a better team around him.

I am in no means a Ronaldo fan, but I am not blind neither, I do consider Messi to be the greatest football player ever in history, but I also believe that Ronaldo is the second best player to ever play this game and even at 40 years old he is much better than almost every player in this league, they should definitely consider building a better team around him.

Second topic is Neymar to Barcelona, while I do agree that Barcelona would like to get Neymar on a very cheap contract because that would be good for business, like even if you do not play him, if he accepts a very very low offer, then jersey sales alone could pay for it, but football related business wouldn't work that well, he is not the footballer he used to be, he wouldn't even crack bench at his current situation, dude played like 50-60 games in the last 3-4 seasons, players do that in a single season these days.

[redsun114]

Nacho Fernandes made his first debut with Al Qadisiyah against Al Fateh, in this match Al Qadisiyah managed to win the match with a landslide score of 3-0. With these results, Al Qadisiyah is now at the top of the Saudi Arabian League standings. So this victory will certainly make Nacho Fernandes very happy, because at the start of his debut with Al Qadisiyah, which is also a team that has just been promoted to the Saudi Arabian Premier League, this victory will certainly be something to be very proud of. from. from. Maybe this season Al Qadisiyah will be a great competitor to become a candidate to win the Saudi Arabian League. Therefore I am very curious and definitely looking forward to the match between Al Hilal, last season's Saudi Arabian League champions, and Al Qadisiyah, a very promising newcomer. I am sure the match between Al Qadisiyah and Al Hilal will be exciting.

Apart from that, today Al Hilal is scheduled to compete against Al Okhdood. This match should be very easy for Al Hilal. But we'll see later, whether Al Hilal still has good performance like last season or not. Because as we know, last season Al Hilal never lost to any team in the Saudi Arabian league. So I am very curious, whether this season Al Hilal will again create an unbeaten record like last season or not.

Another new club with having strong back of Aramco entered into Saudi Pro League with bang this is amazing result for the club after having first entry in last from promotion they have few good players which can give their best for having good result in this result Al Qadisiyah was trying to bring few big names, but sadly they fail as things were no compatible but now after having start like this we can expect them to have good challenges for the top clubs.

Nacho Fernandes entry in this league is impressive 27 years old Mexican Julian Quinones who joined Al Qadisiyah from Club America Mexican having impressive start of his campaign in this season with this entry we can expect good competition for having the good number of goals in this season Saudi League is having good development and things are looking more interesting for this season as new teams are also giving their best.

Al Nassr is going to have a nightmare if they lose Ronaldo or this player gets retired and he can't play for some weeks. Currently, the whole team is based on Ronaldo in Al Nassr and he is the most important player for Al Nassr if he is in the bad form, Al Nassr is in the bad form and he is more than just a normal player for Al Nassr. Maybe Al Nassr should start using the investment they had and they should try using players like Ronaldo to get other younger players more experienced by using Ronaldo.  

For Al Nassr, depending only on Ronaldo poses a danger. Indeed, he is a legend, a goal-scoring machine. Football is a team game, though, therefore the rest of the team has to adjust. Talisca, man, he's gotta start delivering after shedding that injury rust. And the others among the lads?  Step up. One cannot expect Ronaldo to represent the team every single game

Luis Castro still has to arrange his strategies. Strengthen that defense and give these players some mental toughness. They cannot fold the moment Ronaldo has an off day or has an injury. Al Nassr must vary their approach to play. The Ronaldo basket cannot hold all of their eggs. The remainder of the team has to show their value and help the club to flourish

This is Ronaldo last season, his contract will end in June 2025, of course Al Nassr is trying to extend the contract of its megastar. Meanwhile, Al Nassr management must prepare themselves for all possibilities, one day they will definitely lose Ronaldo, so it's time to think about building a club with long-term priorities starting from this season. It has been a major highlight that Al Nassr defense line is porous, they will have difficulty competing with Al Hilal if they don't fix it immediately. To anticipate other bad possibilities, Luis Castro should also have adequate rotation options.

If Al Nassr manages to win the Saudi Pro League trophy, then their reputation will be even better, because what really depends on Ronaldo is the Saudi Pro League itself. Al Nassr management should be aware of this well, so that they can encourage them to build better squad depth around Ronaldo. So far Al Nassr has only managed to recruit two new players, maybe in the future before the transfer window closes they will sign new players, it would be better if they recruit players from Europe.
