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.

Pioli seems to realize that Ronaldo has been working hard so far because al nassr is too forcing him to play and bear the burden of the club in every match they have before, resting Ronaldo in the match against Al Hazem in the preliminary round of the King Cup will at least restore his stamina and performance in more crucial matches, especially the current league, so far Ronaldo continues to be the focus of the al nassr game but the arrival of Pioli seems to make al Nassr can develop more and no longer must to continue to rely on Ronaldo in every of their matches, Pioli's ability to manage the team in my opinion will make a lot of difference in Al Nassr later and we no longer see Ronaldo being the player who has to work the hardest to win the match because so far Pioli has a more collective style of play, after missing the King Cup match, Pioli ended up playing Ronaldo in the League match and we can see if Ronaldo looked more excited to play when facing Al Wehda in the league yesterday.
