Finally, Pioli started working in Al Nassr and he made a good change in this team. Al Nassr has always played with Ronaldo in this team since he started working there and this made us worried about this team because we thought Al Nassr could not have good performance anymore without Ronaldo in this team.
FYI, it is the second match of Al Nassr under Pioli's management. So far, Pioli already won 2 matches in 2 matches, means he always wins every match with Al Nassr. However, I think it is still too early to claim Pioli has made a change on Al Nassr team. Pioli still didn't face strong teams, just wait for the match Al Nassr vs Al Hilal in matchday 9. If Al Nassr can get points in this match, we can claim that there is a chance in Al Nassr team under Pioli's management.
Now in the game against Al Hazem, Pioli didn't use Ronaldo and he decided to give him a rest and still, they won the game with a 2-1 result.
It is impossible to use Ronaldo because he is injured. According to the news, it seems quite serious injured because his return will be unknown. It will be very bad if he can play against Al Hilal in matchday 9.
