Not super related, but..... what is gonna happen if the war in middle east scalate a lot?

I know Saudi is not involved yet, but, things can change very fast.

What are gonna do the players? Maybe them or their families can feel some fear, and wants to leave for security reasons. Just thinking.

Although Al Nassr has been in the 2nd

Al Nassr has only one opponent that always gives them trouble when they play against them and they lose. No matter how well Al Nassr has been playing, Al Hilal aren't that easy to defeat, Al-Wehda wasn't a challenge for Al nassr as they didn't pose any threat to Al Nassr. Al nassr played very well and Ronaldo scored in the game but it wasn't an open play goal but a penalty. He needs to score open play goals to show that he's back as penalties aren't going to be coming always to him. Al Nassr has another game today and it's in the AFC Champions League against Al Rayyan. Al Nassr should be winning this game with ease and hopefully Ronaldo scores.

Yes Al Hilal is the toughest opponent for Al Nassr and this club always loses when they face each other but now it seems that Al Nassr's competitors have increased, there is Al Ittihad who is back to performing impressively and it seems that it will be the second obstacle to compete for the SPL title or runner up if the last 2 seasons Al Nassr can win second place maybe this season will not be easy for Al Nassr.
Al Nassr ACL Match won the match with a narrow score of 2:1. Sadio Mane and Ronaldo each scored 1 goal. Al Nassr's productivity has decreased a little at the moment, they are not as aggressive as before.

Bringing Ronaldo to their squad is one of their ambitions in winning the SPL so far, but Al Hillal continues to be a stumbling block for Al Nassr to realize this ambition, after last season they failed to break Al Hillal's dominance, now their competition and work is getting more difficult after Al Ittihad also emerged as a title challenger, the number of other teams in the Arab League that are now starting to improve the quality of their squad is certainly a warning for Al Nassr must to be better and consistent in every match they are played, currently Al Nassr has Pioli as a coach and with these changes that have occurred, of course, the expectations of fans today are getting bigger to see their team champion remembering the ability possessed by Pioli in coaching,  the victory over Al Rayyan in the ACL became their winning streak since being coached by Pioli this season.

Yeah, who used to know Al Nassar this much except for the coming of Ronaldo, Al-Nassr has become more popular as a team and in terms of performance than they used to be before and now are able to challenge Al Hillal, but the truth is that Ronaldo cannot do this whole job alone, but has really done his part as an individual player ,Since Al Hillal has become a major stumbling block for them, maybe some changes needs to be done, one should be looking at the manager in charge and second is trying to get in some new players into the team, I believe this way Al-Nassr will be able to get rid of their major opponent team Al Hillal and possibly lifting the trophy.

Yeah, who used to know Al Nassar this much except for the coming of Ronaldo, Al-Nassr has become more popular as a team

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr and helped this club becomes more famous as well as the Saudi Professional League. The club has to pay him very lucrative salary but I believe they do it in a strategic program of Saudi Arabia government to help their national league more popular and intend to help increasing quality fo the league and grow their youth players by training, and playing together with star players from Europe.

in terms of performance than they used to be before and now are able to challenge Al Hillal, but the truth is that Ronaldo cannot do this whole job alone, but has really done his part as an individual player

He can help Al-Nassr in attacking and score many goals for them but he can not do considerable contribution for their defense system. Cristiano Ronaldo is very old and he no longer can run too much to contribute for proactively defense in the front line. This affects Al-Nassr defense but the main task of defense belongs to midfielders and defenders who are not playing too good.

Since Al Hillal has become a major stumbling block for them, maybe some changes needs to be done, one should be looking at the manager in charge and second is trying to get in some new players into the team, I believe this way Al-Nassr will be able to get rid of their major opponent team Al Hillal and possibly lifting the trophy.

Al-Nassr only can compete with Al-Hilal in direct matches and through a long season, if they can improve defense. With weak defense system, they will surely lose many points to many clubs in Saudi Professional League and will lose the title to Al-Hilal.
