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.
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.

That was a narrow win and not a confident win, the both goals from Al Nassr was scored in extra time. The first goal came in the extra time for the first half and the second goal came in the extra time of the second half but it is good that the coach tried playing without Ronaldo and gave him a rest as he needs it. Ronaldo can not be playing every match or he won't be able to perform in all the matches as he's no longer a young player. Any coach that knows how to manage old players will get the best out of them and it looks like that's what is going to be happening as Ronaldo gets rested more in games that isn't the league games to regain his strength and score in league games.
