I believe next season will be different and we might see a lot of transfers especially in the Al-Nassr squad to improve the team, especially the defence line where we can see easily the difference between it and Al-Hilal. The number of received goals is almost twice as higher in the Al-Nassr side.
Cristiano Ronaldo hope were big in the beginning of the season and the team was lucky to find the second place again and finish behind Al-Hilal.
Indeed, the defense line is an unresolved problem for Al-Nassr and they often make mistakes that put the team in danger. But apart from that, Al-Nassr also has to look for a quality goalkeeper because Al-Hilal has Yassine Bounou who has been a good goalkeeper for several years and his performance in the Saudi league has remained consistent.
Ronaldo has had great difficulty breaking through Yassine Bounou's goal this season and that's why he has been such a strong last bastion. There's not much Al-Nassr can do if they only depend on their current players so they have to make big changes if they want to win the Saudi league and if they don't want to continue to be under Al-Hilal.
