Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[cxtreenal]

After seeing their performance today, it seems to us that this team might be reliant on a single player, which is why their performance deterioration is natural, but this team will have the opportunity to play multiple more matches in the AFC Champions League.

It must be said that Al-Nassr did not take advantage of the summer transfer market to strengthen their squad. As a result, they also found themselves short of new players who could be used as additions to play on multiple fronts. And this may not seem like much, but it makes the difference. Maybe not right away, but in the long run it will be a problem.

In the transfer window the team's management didn't feel the need for new players. I think they thought that the squad that won the trophy last season would be able to win the trophy this season too, but they are probably proving wrong. The team played the expected and dynamic football last season, but I don't see that continuity this season. Ronaldo has only scored 3 goals in 6 matches, João Félix has been very good at the beginning of the season but he is nowhere to be found now, although I thought this talented player would show even better performances. Not having many substitutes could be a weakness for the Al-Nassr team.

Ronaldo and Al Nassr posted this, although Ronaldo posted another image but both had the same caption and the comment section didn't disappoint. When I saw it, I knew the caption will trigger some other people and funny enough, one fanbase doesn't understand the caption. Immediately I saw the post of Ronaldo, 2 things came to my mind, either it's their second kit or because they currently sit second on the table. I was pondering on these 2 things, then boom, I saw the post from Al Nassr page and it dawned on me that it's about the kit. I opened the comments section and there Messi fans were, blabbing about what they don't know. One even said, Al Nassr has already acknowledged Ronaldo to be the second, I couldn't help but laugh out real hard.

The problem with most people is just that they read and summarise at first sight, they don't even read again to get the right interpretation of what someone has said. Al Nassr or Ronaldo cannot call himself the second greatest player. This comment is honestly talking about how the second kit looks on Cristiano Ronaldo. Everything shouldn't be about banter among Ronaldo and Messi fans. Both players has their own style of play and are great players in their own ways so this competition about who is the greatest should end because inasmuch as football is concerned, there will be no greatest because more players that can surpass the achievement of Ronaldo and Messi will emerge in the future. It's just like some great players in the past who had their name in the news for several years but today, nobody is talking about them anymore. So, that is same way that Messi and Ronaldo era will also be forgotten in the future. Anyway, people are very good at creating their own happiness so we should expect more agenda like this.

Is not that some people are not reading the caption, it is just that some people are just delusional and want to push an agenda that doesn’t get any meaning, sometimes some fans behave like they are illiterate, because anyone seeing that should know that Al Nassr are talking about the kits and not the second greatest of all time. Sometimes I wonder what some people get by pushing an agenda and cause problem on social, Al Nassr admin has to repost and said English 101 that they are talk about the kits.

Fans are doing too much and that is causing problems, because some people are taking it personal, and that is not what football is all about, and people who do that much is Messi fans, when you said you are Messi then just support your Messi and stop being delusional about other people opinions, football is all about fun, not a sport that you can decide for anyone to support your favorite.

I just checked the live score of the match between Al-Nassr and AL Ain. Men i was shocked!! Al-Nassr is silently losing 3-0 and the game is still in the 78th minute. this is absolutely embarrassing, and the painful part is that the almighty CR7 is live on the pitch and completely helpless while the Al Ain players slice through them like bread and knife. Imagine all the star power Al-Nassr possesses and still losing this badly. Well, I guess they will swallow this loss without a choice because I see no way back from being 3 goals down for them.

There are always those unexpected matches that end with results that no one imagined. This is one of those. Al Nassr ended up losing this match by 4 goals, it's really embarrassing. The important thing is to raise your head and think differently and positively about the next race. These are situations that happen, like at Al Hilal in one of the last matches with the 2-0 defeat that no one expected.

[Lukakur]

The loss for Al-Nassr is very painful for the fans. They lost the match very helplessly. Ronaldo is a world-class player but sometimes he cannot bring expected results in the match. In football, the same team will not always win. But it seems that the ability to withstand pressure against equally strong teams is a little less. Al-Nassr can score many goals in a very short time when the situation is favorable. But whenever the opponent is a little stronger, they are scoreless. If Al-Nassr continues to play depending on one player, then I think it is normal to see such a decline in performance. The team needs to increase its ability to handle pressure against a big team. Due to this defeat the fans will be the first to blame Ronaldo for losing so helplessly.

Even Al Nasr has the right to have voltage drops. In this case he was unable to react and lost important points but which can still be recovered. Ronaldo must be understood that he is 41 years old and is no longer a player who can carry the team on his own. He is still a leader on the pitch, but he must be given the right respect and the right weight.

I saw it too, and  I was embarrassed by some messi fans, they don't even know how to read a sentence,  the post clearly wrote Second with a full stop, that alone should be easy understood, then ON was clearly started with a capital letter,  for easy understanding.  I can't tell how they came to the conclusion that the Al-nassr page called Ronaldo second best. Messi fans are just a confused people,  since 2022, they said the Goat debate has been settled,  they're still busy looking for validation.

That write up is a  promotion for Al-nassr second kit of the season, the page Admin. Did well on the write up, he knew they will react that way and he got the reaction and free promotion he wanted,  most messi fans posted it on their pages for banter.

There is a lot of confusion, many people purposely choose to read and interpret in their own way, also because it is clear that the Al-Nassr club would never have said such a thing, as they themselves are convinced that they have purchased the best player in the world and also for a marketing purpose it would be damaging to their image. Especially because we are talking about a player from their squad, a human legend of this sport.

[yourmamam]

It is not even goals anymore. He is still here. 41 years old playing continental football. Getting humiliated 4-0 by Al Ain last night (shoutout to both Rahimis by the way, they cooked). But he will most likely get up in the morning and train just as if nothing ever happened. That is the way the man is wired.

He needs 21 more goals to hit 1,000. The official ones not the "I am counting exhibition matches from 1987" kind of Pele fans. Actual professional football. No one has ever done this. And i keep thinking, what happens the day he scores it? What is the reaction?

The point is the discipline. Not the goals per se. This is not something that is maintained for 20 years by chance. It is kind of annoying. At 41, this guy still looks like that, and the rest of us watching our diet go down the drain by Wednesday!

I am convinced that Cristiano is the perfect athlete. It's normal for a defeat to make you go home with a long face. But as the professional you are, you also know that the best way to get back up is to focus on the next match. And as usual he will go home, wake up the next day, train to improve himself further. He is forty-one years old and twenty-one goals away from making history. I'm sure there are other things that make him hesitant.

This act of misinterpreting things is one great mistake fans do make in different occasions,  how on earth do someone think Al nassr would downgrade their own player for the sake of someone else that adds nothing to their club. In the history of Al nasser Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be their best ever signing for now and since his arrival the team has increased in all rectification including fan base, financially and in trophy, if a player have done this great things for his team why will they say such to him, this are the things we should have considered before concluding its because they consider messi better than him.
In football, I will always choose Cristiano over messi even if not for any reason but because Cristiano has proven himself in different leagues which messi could not do tlll now.

Al-Nassr disappointing performance against Al Ain in a crucial match of the AFC Champions League was a surprise. In fact, I bet on the team without thinking about the risk of losing and I got the result by losing. Such things can happen but the goal difference is a lot of negative indications about Al-Nassr future. The team's weak defense is becoming more and more obvious, although the attack is considered strong, but they have shown their failures there too. There is a long break in the tournament and whether they can correct their mistakes during this time will be seen in the coming months.

Just like you said, some took it personal and that has beclouded the judgement that they don't see anything else other than pure hate, there's nothing that someone they hate will ever do that will be good in their sight. Another reason is social media, most of them do this propaganda to get views and engagement. They are all looking for social media money and this has brought a lot of problems, so many misinformation flying around almost on daily basis just because some individuals are looking for views and engagement on their pages. Funny enough the gullibles and dummies falls for this without even investigating to know if it's true or not. This image was posted by some content creators and I was just laughing at the explanations they were giving.

I personally also had an argument with a friend of mine, he sent me this photo and said that his own club acknowledged that its star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, was ranked second among the best players, behind Messi. I've done my best to explain that this is just about the uniform, nothing more. But he wouldn’t accept it and kept arguing with me, until it ended as we might expect, no matter what, Messi has a World Cup trophy, while Ronaldo doesn’t and never will for the rest of his career. Tired of arguing, i chose to stop and walk away. I just don’t understand why they’re always like that.

Not having many substitutes could be a weakness for the Al-Nassr team.

If Al Nassr's management was so confident that last year's squad would win the championship again this year that they were slow to make transfers, they made a big mistake. Because no matter where you are in the world, whether you win the championship or the Champions League like Paris Saint-Germain, you should always try to bring in good players for your squad in every transfer window, otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve success. We know that several teams in Saudi Arabia are currently in the championship race. Al Nassr, who won the championship last year, should have brought in better players.

Football is unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen and this match was one of them. I am surprised that Al Nasr did not score a single goal. To be honest, I thought that this match would be a big win for Al Nasr, but according to my prediction, it happened the other way around. Everyone has high expectations from Al Nasr, they won the league last season and their team is very strong and before the season started, we all thought that Al Nasr would be the strongest team this season. We have seen this since the new coach took over. Is Al Nasr having trouble adapting to the new coach or will it take some time to adapt?

I think a true football fan never gets into the argument about who is the best. Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, this argument has become a child's play these days. Football is a world where everyone is different in their own place. Everyone is above everyone in their own achievements. What Lionel Messi has achieved in his life is the highest for him. And what Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved in his football career can be said to be the highest for him. Not all players can be measured only by the World Cup trophy. Again, not all can be measured by personal achievements. But it is crazy to say that only Messi is the best without considering everything like a blind fan.  In terms of popularity Ronaldo is certainly no less. He is a hard-working and talented individual. The kind of performance that Al Nasser is showing despite his age has made him the best footballer over time. I would like to say one thing: a footballer can never be judged by any specific achievement.

[MAAManda]

What happened to Al-Nassr in that match? I really don’t understand it. I don’t happen to remember the schedule for that match. I know Al Ain is a tough opponent, but beating Al-Nassr 4-0 is truly hard to believe, I think. What’s going on with Al-Nassr’s defense? And why didn’t Al-Nassr start Bento as the goalkeeper, who I think is a little better than Nawaf?

But well, in the end, that’s just how soccer is. It’s always full of surprises. Personally, I was also hoping Cristiano Ronaldo would score and get closer to the record he’s aiming for. But well, the thing is, Al Ain seemed to be much better prepared than Al-Nassr. They really seemed to make the most of every opportunity.

Well, IDK what happened in that match either, because I didn't watch it. But, let's try to see & describe the conditions at that time from the statistics above. Al-Nassr dominated possession & also attacked, although their efforts were not as potent as Al Ain. So, I think those 4 goals mean Al Ain really capitalized on counter-attacking opportunities. That's roughly how I can describe it.

[bastisisca]

There's no doubt about that; however, CR7 is a player who I'm sure will reach 1,000 goals. The thing is, he can't do everything for the team. It's clear that Al Nassr has many deficiencies. As for their defenders, I don't know if they get tired too easily or something like that, but they need better defenders or to play on the counterattack. Obviously, losing isn't the idea, but they're close they're not that far off. If they want to win the Saudi league, they have to do better. They have an inspired CR7; it's just a matter of him getting support within the team.

The fact that Cristiano Ronaldo cannot do everything is not seen based on the team he plays for, because he could also play for Real Madrid and achieve the same results.

The conversation is now different. The fact is not precisely that he plays for Al Nassr and consequently plays for the whole team, but the fact is that he has reached an age where it is automatically more complicated for him to perform like a phenomenon.

[martinom]

On the other hand Al Nassr is fortunate to have plenty of time to analyze their mistakes. And their schedule is not very packed leading up to their next match.

Even Al Nassr can have bad moments and that's what happened during the match against Al Ain, who showed that they wanted to win and certainly brought more motivation to the pitch given the final result of 4-0 in their favor. Al Nassr who must certainly recover from this defeat.

[banana33]

Al-Nassr failed to score any goals, even though I had high hopes they would find the net & I was also hoping to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the scoresheet, as that would have helped him reach the record ASAP. Well, they can't afford to make results like that in upcoming matches if they want to see their teammate (Cristiano Ronaldo) reach the record.

Very often those kinds of matches happen in which even often arriving in the opponent's frontline and managing to shoot, the goal seems haunted and the ball doesn't seem to want to enter in any way.
And that's a bit of what happened in that match, which didn't allow Al Nassr to bring home a single goal.

That's roughly how I can describe it.

I didn't watch the whole match, but I can see from some parts of the match that Al Ain won the match against Al Nasr by dominating. Not by counterattacking, but by dominating. Al Ain had 48% ball possession, which is not much less than Al Nasr. Even their attacks were great.

Al Nasr performed very badly in that match and had weaknesses in their planning. I wonder how, despite having an experienced player like Cristiano Ronaldo, they can come out with such a bad plan? It must be admitted that the quality of Al Nasr's players is not that good, but their main problem is in terms of strategy, not quality.

[cande86]

Currently, Al-Nassr remains in third place in the standings, which isn’t too bad, especially with 16 points, just one point behind Ittihad and two points behind Al-Hilal. Their chances are certainly still strong, but this should serve as a warning to them, there is still a lot that needs to be improved. One of them as you mentioned is the defense, which has been a weak spot when it comes to maintaining a lead, while Al-Nassr’s offense has been quite dominant and consistent in creating scoring opportunities.

At the very least, following the draw against Al Khaleej, Al-Nassr must win their upcoming match against Al Draih. They may still be within a few points of the leaders now, but if they lose again, it will be difficult to catch up to the top of the standings and they’ll fall significantly behind. This is a cause for concern.

Surrely Al Nasr is aware of this, that if they want to aim for the title they cannot afford to lose any more points, like against Al Ain, losing 4-0. He must certainly forget the last match and aim boldly towards the next one, playing the football he has always played without giving excessive importance to the last match.

I am surprised at what happened in the last game against Al Ain, before the match, I could have bet with my everything in favor of Al Nassr because I believe there’s absolutely nothing in my wildest imagination which could cause a defeat on the Al Nassr side, Al-Nassr is currently at the third position of the SPL league table and this is the first match they have played for the AFC championship and they lost it to 4 goals scored by Al Ain making them the lead of the Group B table and three points with Al Nassr falling at the bottom of the table standing with zero points and a game lost already. Now let’s see what the couple of games will pan out.
