Ronaldo never stops scoring goals and in today's match he also contributed one goal through his free kick. It's been a long time since we saw him do that but it was different from the way he kicked which this time was slower and more focused, unlike the usual which was always fast and hard.

This was Al-Nassr's first big win with 4 goals against Al-Feiha and on the other hand the home team only managed to reply with one consolation goal. Don't forget Talisca's game was also good today and he also recorded his name on the scoreboard through his brace. Talisca scored the first goal utilizing Ronaldo's assist and closed it with his curved free kick. I hope the chemistry of Al-Nassr players can continue and can continue the existing winning trend.

This season Ronaldo has scored 2 goals, this is quite extraordinary considering the 2 goals he scored came from two different matches. So, now that he is almost 40 years old, Ronaldo's performance doesn't seem to have decreased much. Like in the match against Al Feiha this time, he was really able to compete and even beat Al Feiha's young players. It was proven that in this match Ronaldo was able to contribute one assist and also one goal for Al Nasr. Apart from that, in this match, Talisca seemed to show his best performance again. The reason is, by scoring two goals in that match, it is a sign that his good performance has now returned. It's been a long time since I saw a good performance from Talisca, because at the end of last season he suffered an injury which resulted in him missing several quite important matches. However, after seeing his current good performance, I feel quite entertained by his appearance. And I also pray that Al Nasr's victory in this match and Al Nasr's good performance can continue to be maintained. So don't let Al Nasr win easily this week with a fairly landslide score, but in the next match Al Nasr will have difficulty winning the match. In essence, I hope Al Nasr is not like that this season. Because if Al Nasr ends like that, when will Al Nasr be able to beat Al Hilal in the Saudi Arabian League. Because to be able to beat Al Hilal and also take the top position in the Saudi Arabian League, what Al Nasr needs is to continue to win in every match.

I also thought that this season Cristiano Ronaldo's performance would decline slightly. But what happened was the opposite. I see Cristiano Ronaldo is still the same as last season. He still has extraordinary sharpness in the attack line. Not only did he score goals in two SPL matches, but Cristiano Ronaldo even scored goals in two matches in the Saudi Super Cup before the SPL started. So there are a total of 4 matches that Cristiano Ronaldo has played in this season and in all of these matches Cristiano always scores goals. 2 goals in the Saudi Super Cup and 2 goals in the SPL. Well, that's an extraordinary record for a player who is almost 40 years old. In fact, he is sharper than the young players there.

Unstoppable Cristiano Ronaldo keep scoring goals in this season after his beautiful goals trough free kick last night match against Al Feiha make him have scored two goals in last two consecutives match at Saudi Pro League.
Recently Cristiano Ronaldo have scored four goals at four appearance all competition in this season, two goals on Super Cup and keep consistent scoring goals every match in domestic league.

Al Nassr success securing first three points in domestic league after being draw on the first match, Cristiano Ronaldo have ambition for this season must win domestic league tittle after two consecutive season difficult bring Al Nassr to win domestic league. In this season Al Hilal still become most favorite team after impressive performance on the first match and success signing many top players after recently sign João Cancelo from Manchester City.

Cristiano Ronaldo came prepared this season as he is having a blast already. Just when people are expecting him to be depreciating, he is even getting better, scoring in the two consecutive matches he has played for his club so far this new season. I was initially not impressed with their first match despite that he scored because the match ended in a draw when I expected they would have gotten that easy three point from their home. I want them to be able to close in on Al Hilaal because they are also looking unstoppable this season.

Didn't this kind of thing also happen last season, some people thought Ronaldo would be the same as Messi when he decided to leave the La Liga and eventually experienced decline in performance, but in reality Ronaldo was not like that and he showed how age would not affect his skills in playing and scoring goal.
Now Ronaldo is player age who is no longer productive but he can still play like young player who has above average playing skills, even in the SPL he also showed success in becoming the player with the most goal.
In the future I really want to see how Ronaldo can bring Al Nassr to stop Al Hilal steps to win the title again, this can be surprise and big success for Al Nassr if they are able to realize it this season.

[AprilioMP]

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 Nasser and Al Hilal have always been two of the toughest opponents in the Saudi league. Outside of these two teams we don't see much competition during the season. Not only the league tournament, they have another big tournament, the Arab Cup, but Al Nasser or Al Hilal can be seen to single-handedly dominate. However, it can be said that recent seasons have not been going well for Al Nasser as they have been consistently losing the local league by a wide margin to Al Hilal. But last season we saw Al Hilal lose to Al Nasser in the Arab Cup final and that sparked quite a discussion in the football media. Many people say that because of Ronaldo, Al Nasser was at the top for a while, but now Al Nasser's position has started to go down again due to Ronaldo's performance.

We know these two teams as a team that is always competing in the race for the title at the end of the season. If in La Liga, the Real Madrid with Barcelona, ​​even if it is equated, is not the same because the level is very different.
This season the strict teams of the two teams have also begun even though there is another team that is now occupying the standings, namely Al Qadasiya.
Al Nassr yesterday got the first 3 points in one match, making them sit second in the standings with a collection of 4 points.
The position of Al Qadasiya and Al Nassr will be shifted by Al Hilal if Al Hilal wins over Damac FC.

There are many differences between youth and old age and that is the difference we are currently seeing in Cristiano Ronaldo. When he was younger his game speed was high but now he is a 39 year old man. No matter how well he tries to play at this age, he may not be able to play as well as he did when he was younger.

Cristiano Ronaldo had one of the best seasons in club football history when he was playing for Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for most goals for Real Madrid. He had a lot of good players to support him with whom he got a chance to score in almost every match. However, the club he is currently linked with has no top players to back him up apart from Sadio Mane. Playing well in football alone is never possible to win the team, this is what Cristiano Ronaldo is currently having to do for Al-Nassr Club. Moreover, with age, his playing performance has also decreased, as a result of which he is not playing well or trying to play well.

Since Ronaldo has fallen to 39, his current age is not fit to play at all. But we have seen that Cristiano Ronaldo still did not give up, but he could not give up football even in his late age, which is why he is playing in the Saudi League. Although I think he plays well enough as an older player and contributes enough in every game, and we've seen him score a goal at the start of the season. Cristiano Ronaldo has done enough for Al Nasser to take the team to a good level, but it must be accepted that one can never take a team forward alone. Of course, Ronaldo and Sadio Mané have the means but are not that excited about their game at the moment, which is why they can get off to a good start. However, as today is the second match of the season, they will improve their performance in this match, although Ronaldo tries hard enough, he cannot play at the current age like he is at was a young age.

Yes ronaldo performs great from his position despite his age. As we saw in today's match as well, he performed brilliantly and played an important role in his team's victory. Those who are familiar with football are probably aware of how great a footballer Ronaldo was at a young age.

Cristiano Ronaldo's team Al-Nassr took to the field to face their opponents in the Saudi Pro League already two matches. Although their season started with a draw, Al Nasser Football Club managed to win 4-1 in the second match. Cristiano Ronaldo scored in both these matches.That is, he has played two matches and managed to score two goals through good performances in both matches, he may be giving an advance notice that he is trying to play like before. Cristiano Ronaldo scored an impressive free kick against Saudi club Al Feiha. Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of touching another unique milestone in the history of men's football. If he scores another goal, he will touch this unique milestone i.e he scores another goal, he will become the first footballer in the world to score 900 goals.

Arab league clubs are still trying to bring in European players in order to improve the quality of the squad they currently have, Al Nassr, Al Hillal, Al Qadasiya continue to try to bring in some experienced players in Europe to add depth to their squad now, but in contrast with Al Ahli who continues to try to recruit young players who have quite good performance by offering them big money,  Reportedly Vinicius is one of the main targets of Al Ahli so far and  they don't hesitate to spend 350 million and make Vinicius a little confused to refuse or accept the offer, but for now I think Vinicius will remain at Madrid until 2025 and maybe he will consider leaving when the season ends,  In addition to Vinicius, it is reported that Al Ahli is currently also in the negotiation stage with Napoli to recruit Osimhen.

It would be natural for such a huge offer to make even a player who is at his peak in Europe feel confused about whether to accept or reject it. But I think the same as you. namely Vini Jr would definitely prefer to stay at Real Madrid. Because for a talented young player like him, a career in Europe with Real Madrid will definitely be much more important. And regarding Osimhen, in fact, it was not only Al-ahli who was interested in this player, but Al-hilal also made an offer. But like Vini Jr, I think Osimhen is still interested in continuing to pursue his career in Europe.

Sometimes a big salary can make a player waver like when Karim Benzema who was at the peak of his career with Real Madrid but he chose to join the Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad because he would get a bigger salary than what he received from Real Madrid but I understand that because at that time he was 34 years old and over time his performance would decline so that to get the opportunity to play would be slightly reduced because he was replaced by young Real Madrid players the decision might be tough but still reasonable, but if for Vinicius Jr and Oshimen they are still very young to play in the SPL they will become star players in Europe I think they will still be valuable if they are 30 years old and over and they can consider moving to the SPL.

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.

Of course, it will be danger if Al Nassr only relies on Ronaldo. No doubt that Ronaldo is a goal-machine but Ronaldo actually is no longer in his best prime, he is 39 years already. It is also impossible to win the match if Al Nassr only hopes for the goals made by Ronaldo. Sure, football is a team game, it is not an individual game which can rely on just one player. I'm wondering about the contribution of Talisca, Mane, and Otavio. Where is the contribution of this player? There is no issue about injury or bad things of these players. It is surprising that they couldn't play well against Al Raed. Al Raed is a small team that shouldn't be a big problem for Al Nassr.

A team can never win a game depending on one player. Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time. He is currently competing against opposition teams for Saudi club Al Nassr. His age is increasing with time which we can clearly see in his game nowadays. It is wrong if his club depends entirely on him because a forward may not do anything for the team if he plays well alone. In order for the team to win, their team needs good players in everything from midfield to defense so that the team becomes a strong team and can fight against the opposition.

Apart from Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, a great player from Senegal, is also associated with Al Nassr club. He is not very old yet his performance is not making any significant impact in his club.

Old age is dropping Ronaldo's form even when he is trying his best to see how he can be very active on the pitch to hp his club out. The fact is that a player like Ronaldo at his age cannot do much for any club who is relying solely on him.

If AL Nassr wants to be able to challenge their rivals and win the league, they need to recruit sharp young players who will contribute an improve the club's performance, apart from that they will always be second on the table at the end of the season.

There is nothing to criticize Ronaldo's performance as we are undoubtedly grateful to him for what he has given us in his long football career. At the age he is playing football, many cannot walk well and suffer from many diseases. As a footballer ages, his running ability will decrease as well as his ability to keep the ball in his favor, and not just Ronaldo. It's a pity to watch Ronaldo's game now because once Ronaldo was a terror for any team, Ronaldo is now a failure in the opponent's D box. But as a football fan there will be so much expectation to say goodbye to football when Ronaldo is in form because I never want people to criticize him and it's hard to accept as a CR7 fan.

There is nothing to criticize Ronaldo's performance as we are undoubtedly grateful to him for what he has given us in his long football career. At the age he is playing football, many cannot walk well and suffer from many diseases.

Many young players can not score many goals like Cristiano Ronaldo at his nearly 40 age. Last season, Ronaldo scored more goals than Haaland who is recognized as the beast in young generation. Playing in Saudi Arabia with a lower quality than top leagues in Europe is a fact but it is not enough to say all things and goals Ronaldo had there mean nothing.

As a footballer ages, his running ability will decrease as well as his ability to keep the ball in his favor, and not just Ronaldo. It's a pity to watch Ronaldo's game now because once Ronaldo was a terror for any team, Ronaldo is now a failure in the opponent's D box. But as a football fan there will be so much expectation to say goodbye to football when Ronaldo is in form because I never want people to criticize him and it's hard to accept as a CR7 fan.

Age is a big factor that affects all players but Ronaldo with his high professionality successfully prolongs his career and still plays well. He deserves a round of applause for his performances recent years and his ambition to continue playing at this age. People who criticize him will only have some more seasons to do this because Ronaldo soon will hit his body limits physically and have to retire.

Cristiano Ronaldo came prepared this season as he is having a blast already. Just when people are expecting him to be depreciating, he is even getting better, scoring in the two consecutive matches he has played for his club so far this new season. I was initially not impressed with their first match despite that he scored because the match ended in a draw when I expected they would have gotten that easy three point from their home. I want them to be able to close in on Al Hilaal because they are also looking unstoppable this season.

He hasn't done his best, i don't think we can judge whether he is good or not at the start of this season, this is the start of the season, there are still many things ahead that are still a mystery. So far he has played quite well and scored 2 goals in all of this league's matches, but Al-Hilal will come with many surprises later which will make all clubs unable to do anything like in previous seasons.

I want them to be able to close in on Al Hilaal because they are also looking unstoppable this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo, at the age of 39, of course many people think that Cristiano Ronaldo will have the potential to decline in performance, but now he has made Al-Nassr fans and Cristiano Ronaldo fans happy because Cristiano's appearance is very surprising because his performance is still good and indeed in in the two matches that have been played this new season, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to score goals and a special goal in this match was against Al-Feiha. Cristiano Ronaldo made a good free kick which resulted in
a goal for Al-nassr and honestly I was personally amazed by the speed of his shot.

Indeed, I personally also think the same as you and am not impressed with Cristiano Ronaldo's performance because I was a little disappointed that Al-Nassr didn't win the match. However, watching Al-Nassr's match against Al-Feiha, I really liked the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo and the other Al-Nassr players. The point is, of course now Al-Nassr still has hopes of becoming a team that will compete closely with Al-Hilal.

yes, all this time Al-hilal has been very strong and no SPL club can stop him because of his strong strength, but now seeing Al-nassr's strength recovering will certainly make them both (Al-hilal and Al-nassr) compete fiercely again. .

[Adiljutt156]

Al Fayha vs Al-Nassr

Al Fayha possible starting lineup:
Al-Deqeel; Al Dowaish, Al Khaibari, Al Rashidi, Abdi; Al-Beshe, Kaabi; Harthi, Al Hussain, Al Rammah, Sakala

Al-Nassr possible starting lineup:
Bento; Al Ghanam, Alawjami, Laporte, Telles; Brozovic, Al-Khaibari; Otavio, Talisca, Mane; Ronaldo

Al-Nassr have heavy advantage over Al Fayha because the have been beaten them for almost four matches now, and already Al Fayha lost their first match of the season but it wasn't home and now they are playing home against Al-Nassr, Al-Nassr already have a point and will not like to lose a point again because the rival are still going better than them now.

Al-Nassr football team gave good effort in this match and that team won due to good combination of players. Players played well and did 4 goals in this match . From the start of match,Al-Nassr team was dominant on Al-Fayha team and Did first 2 goals in this match and after these goals ,Al-Nassr team was in safe zone because opponent team had only one goal at that time . After that Ronaldo changed the game and made the match one sided . Al-Nassr football team has good position in points table and it is favorite for this tournament and it can win this tournament. Al-Fayha football team could not win any match from their first two matches  and they have 0 point.

Didn't this kind of thing also happen last season, some people thought Ronaldo would be the same as Messi when he decided to leave the La Liga and eventually experienced decline in performance, but in reality Ronaldo was not like that and he showed how age would not affect his skills in playing and scoring goal.
Now Ronaldo is player age who is no longer productive but he can still play like young player who has above average playing skills, even in the SPL he also showed success in becoming the player with the most goal.
In the future I really want to see how Ronaldo can bring Al Nassr to stop Al Hilal steps to win the title again, this can be surprise and big success for Al Nassr if they are able to realize it this season.

Last season, even when Al-Nassr failed to win the title, we could still see Cristiano Ronaldo still getting the award as top scorer in the SPL. In fact, he recorded an extraordinary record in scoring goals last season. And it's natural for someone to think that this player will experience decline when he is no longer young. but as seen now, we actually see this player continuing to set new records at his age when he should no longer be productive in scoring goals. but he can actually beat the young players in scoring lots of goals here.

Well, the peak achievement that Ronaldo must achieve is by defeating al-Hilal's dominance in the SPL. but it seems that with the current condition of Al-Nassr I still doubt it. Al-Nassr's defense line has not been good enough to date.

So far he has played quite well and scored 2 goals in all of this league's matches, but Al-Hilal will come with many surprises later which will make all clubs unable to do anything like in previous seasons.

Ronaldo is still a reliable player as long as he does not have any injury problems, his skills will remain stable and he can score a lot of goals. Even so, Al Nassr will still have a hard time competing with Al Hilal because this is not about 1 player but 11 players working together solidly. So even though Ronaldo performs better, Al Nassr still needs other players who can support Ronaldo to give points in every match. I think Ronaldo needs some midfielders from Europe who can give the best contribution and do not need to rely on Ronaldo to get the score.

[HajiBagi]

Ronaldo never stops scoring goals and in today's match he also contributed one goal through his free kick. It's been a long time since we saw him do that but it was different from the way he kicked which this time was slower and more focused, unlike the usual which was always fast and hard.

This was Al-Nassr's first big win with 4 goals against Al-Feiha and on the other hand the home team only managed to reply with one consolation goal. Don't forget Talisca's game was also good today and he also recorded his name on the scoreboard through his brace. Talisca scored the first goal utilizing Ronaldo's assist and closed it with his curved free kick. I hope the chemistry of Al-Nassr players can continue and can continue the existing winning trend.

Ronaldo always makes sure he tries his best to make sure they win every game they play but AL Nassr players are the one that always makes him feel like he doesn't know how to play again, All the games AL Nassr has played this season and Ronaldo was in the game he scored a goal in the match, Ronaldo will never stop scoring goals because that was what he was born to do in football and that is why we call him the greatest of all time, Ronaldo keeps scoring and just one goal away from him to reach 900 goals and I believe before Ronaldo should retire from football he will reach 1000 goals of his career and that will be another record.

AL Nassr can win a trophy but not with those players they have now, AL Nassr needs to sign very strong players, AL Nassr should learn from AL Hilal, AL Hilal is buying players from European leagues and those players are very good, why AL Nassr can't buy a player's like AL Hilal so that they can compete with AL Hilal, signing another player will be the best decision for them but if they want to continue ending up losing to AL Hilal all the time no problem that is their choice but they should pity Ronaldo and sign player's to help him win a trophy in the league before retiring.

[rendravolt]

The first half ended without any goals scored and so far Al-Ettifaq have dominated the match against Al-Akhdoud. As the host, Al-Ettifaq will certainly aim for a win in front of their fans and if they win they will collect 6 points in the standings. Previously Al-Ettifaq had defeated Al-Shabab and this will be their second win at the start of the season if they manage to beat Al-Akhdoud at home.

I hope coach Steven Gerrard can change his strategy if he still has difficulty scoring goals in the second half and I think he should make substitutions if the results still don't change until the 70th minute. There is still the name Demarai Gray who they brought in last season and if he comes in he will add variety to the attack from midfield and that could create more opportunities.

[Josefjix]

Ronaldo always makes sure he tries his best to make sure they win every game they play but AL Nassr players are the one that always makes him feel like he doesn't know how to play again, All the games AL Nassr has played this season and Ronaldo was in the game he scored a goal in the match, Ronaldo will never stop scoring goals because that was what he was born to do in football and that is why we call him the greatest of all time, Ronaldo keeps scoring and just one goal away from him to reach 900 goals and I believe before Ronaldo should retire from football he will reach 1000 goals of his career and that will be another record.

There are more helping hands for the Portugal international but it seems they're not helping. Ronaldo does all the work by himself. Winning matches comes with desperate qualities and energy from players. Ronaldo is the only player that carries the team's burden on his shoulders. He's available and always ready to prove himself when needed. Unfortunately, Al Nassr doesn't seem to be that team that would be able to stand against Al Hilal. It's been nothing but a dissapointing results for Ronaldo especially in the finals.

Ronaldo never stops scoring goals and in today's match he also contributed one goal through his free kick. It's been a long time since we saw him do that but it was different from the way he kicked which this time was slower and more focused, unlike the usual which was always fast and hard.

Talisca scored the first goal utilizing Ronaldo's assist and closed it with his curved free kick. I hope the chemistry of Al-Nassr players can continue and can continue the existing winning trend.

This season Ronaldo has scored 2 goals, this is quite extraordinary considering the 2 goals he scored came from two different matches. So, now that he is almost 40 years old, Ronaldo's performance doesn't seem to have decreased much. Like in the match against Al Feiha this time, he was really able to compete and even beat Al Feiha's young players. It was proven that in this match Ronaldo was able to contribute one assist and also one goal for Al Nasr. Apart from that, in this match, Talisca seemed to show his best performance again. The reason is, by scoring two goals in that match, it is a sign that his good performance has now returned. It's been a long time since I saw a good performance from Talisca, because at the end of last season he suffered an injury which resulted in him missing several quite important matches. However, after seeing his current good performance, I feel quite entertained by his appearance. And I also pray that Al Nasr's victory in this match and Al Nasr's good performance can continue to be maintained. So don't let Al Nasr win easily this week with a fairly landslide score, but in the next match Al Nasr will have difficulty winning the match. In essence, I hope Al Nasr is not like that this season. Because if Al Nasr ends like that, when will Al Nasr be able to beat Al Hilal in the Saudi Arabian League. Because to be able to beat Al Hilal and also take the top position in the Saudi Arabian League, what Al Nasr needs is to continue to win in every match.

Al Hilal has being a pain on the ass of Al Nassr and a rival because they have made it impossible for Ronaldo and his men to lift up the trophy. This is the only trophy that is giving Ronaldo tough time to achieve because Al Hilal is stronger than them and Ronaldo is not getting young anymore. However, if Ronaldo is unable to lift this title, at least he is always scoring and winning the highest goal scorer in SPL and that shows that he is still doing well over there.

[Palakka]

As the host, Al-Ettifaq will certainly aim for a win in front of their fans and if they win they will collect 6 points in the standings. Previously Al-Ettifaq had defeated Al-Shabab and this will be their second win at the start of the season if they manage to beat Al-Akhdoud at home.

There is still the name Demarai Gray who they brought in last season and if he comes in he will add variety to the attack from midfield and that could create more opportunities.

Al-Ettifaq managed to one goal in the match and Mousa Dembele managed to open his scoring account again this season by taking advantage of the opportunity in front of Al-Okhdood goal to take a 1-0 lead, Both teams played quite impressively in that match and I think the win will be motivates Gerrard to continue to bring Al-Ettifaq on the right track at the moment, so far Al-Ettifaq has managed to achieve two consecutive wins in the league and make their has up to second place in the SPL standings, if you look at the statistics of the matches between the two teams, Al-Ettifaq actually lost In possession of the ball, but they are more effective in creating opportunities, but even so, of course Gerrard must be able to maximize his squad to face the next two weeks which  to be very difficult because they have to face Al Fateh and Al Nassr.

[el kaka22]

Ronaldo keep scoring against very bad teams is something I haven't really expected at this stage, but that is what he does. He fails to win against bigger teams, than makes a showtime out of smaller teams, he can't win against hilal or whatever big team exists, he loses, he never gets a cup, only one cup in 2 years, which is bad for his averages, and scores hattricks and bunch of goals against weaker terrible low on the table teams, to boost up his stats.

So at the end of the season, you look at his results and you see he scored like 20-30 goals and you think he did all he could but they still failed, when in reality those goals usually came from the bottom table teams and he sucked against better teams, you do not see that.

[yudi09]

Al Hilal are now in a winning position even though the match is not over yet. Al Hilal will make Al Nassr drop to 4th place if Al Hilal wins against Damac. With Al Hilal and Damac playing like the first half, Al Hilal can lock in the win until the end of normal time even though Damac plays a slightly more defensive game.

No. I edited that now Damac has equalized the score to 1-1.
Al Hilal's position immediately dropped to 4th place in the standings. The second half of the Al Hilal vs Damac FC match is interesting.
