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.
Players like Ronaldo should be protected. The coach is doing the right thing when he gives a rest to such a world-famous footballer. Indeed, Cristiano is gaining strength. He should be put on the field when there is an urgent need for it. For example, at critical moments for the team. This man knows how to fix the situation on the field. That's what he is needed for.
