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.
Two matches have not proven anything because there are still many other crucial matches that Pioli needs to prove, but so far the two matches that have taken place at least he has given his best for the team. The match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal will be proof of how far Pioli is able to make changes in his team and victory will be something that is expected as a step to build a more solid team.
It will be quite an emotional match for both teams and very important because it is a matter of prestige. I think he needs to win the match if he wants to give something better to the team, especially for the title issue which is a priority for all teams.
Pioli who this season replaced the role of Luis Castro as a coach so far is still able to show quite good performance, to be honest, although maybe two matches are still too early for us to praise Pioli performance but we cannot deny that his ability to coaching is quite good so far, Milan is able to continue to be in the top of Serie A thanks to his expertise in coaching and also applying game strategies, so that there is indeed great hope for us to see Al Nassr has become even better under Pioli coaching this season, what has happened with Al Nassr so far to requires Pioli to work hard to improve Al Nassr performance in league.
I think the match against Al Hillal in my opinion will not prove anything if indeed Pioli is able to bring victory in every match they play, but indeed defeating Al Hillal will at least give a plus to Pioli job performance later in Al Nassr.
