The clubs playing in the AFC Champions League are representatives of top clubs from their domestic leagues so every match played by Al Nassr in the Champions League cannot be equated with weak clubs in the Saudi Pro League because they have different performances so Al Nassr's victory is a very good result and Stefano Pioli has made a good start for Al Nassr of course making the club even more excited to face the next match and maybe they still have a chance to beat Al Hilal to avenge their defeat last season.
To be honest, I myself became more excited to see the Al-Nassr match after Pioli came to this club. Because I feel that Al-Nassr's playing pattern really got better after Stefano Pioli came to take over the coaching bench there. The balance between all lines is also starting to appear in the current Al-Nassr squad. So getting a good start in the elite AFC Champion League is also not surprising given Al-Nassr's current performance. And I hope that in Saturday's match at SPL Al-Nassr we can win again.
Al-Hilal has a tough opponent this week and that could be an opportunity for Al-Nassr to get closer to Al-hilal if Al-hilal fails to get full points. Al-hilal will face Al-Ahli who have a fairly strong level of strength because the Al-Ahli squad also has many European star players.
