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.
I think, the match against Al Ettifaq before is also still one of the difficult matches, and Pioli managed to make Al Nassr win and also with a big score in his first match. Because anyway, Al Ettifaq at the beginning of this season also had good results, and Al Ettifaq also has a coach and players who cannot be underestimated, so I think Pioli has had a good start. But indeed, I also agree about the match against Al Hilal is a difficult match, because so far Al Nassr may always fail when playing against Al Hilal in the Ronaldo era. But with that said, at least there is still enough time for Pioli to prepare Al Nassr to be better and stronger to face Al Hilal later, of course, it must have a target of winning against Al Hilal to make Al Nassr have a good chance of winning the trophy.
