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.
It is true that the teams that enter the LCA are certainly not just random teams, because of course the teams that play in the LCA are the best clubs selected from their respective Domestic Leagues.
Al-Nassr is certainly a strong team in the SPL and of course when they compete in the LCA and win the match of course that is a good and extraordinary thing because the team that Al-Nassr is playing against in the LCA is a strong team and like Al-Nassr's last match. Nassr beat Al-Rayyan with a score of 2-1, of course this is a good thing even though the score was thin. because Al-Rayyan last season in the Qatar League, Al-Rayyan was runner up. But yes, since Stefano Pioli arrived at Al-Nassr, he coached Al-Nassr well and of course his presence has given Al-Nassr great hope of being able to perform better than Luis Castro's coaching.
Since the presence of Pioli, there is now hope for Al-Nassr to be able to compete closely with Al-Hilal again and avenge Al-Nassr's defeat last season. yes, we'll see for Al-nassr's next match whether Al-nassr will win the next match in the LCA and SPL or not, but in the SPL Al-nassr will fight Al-Orubah and I'm sure in the match against Orubah I predict Al-nassr will have potential big to win. but in the LCA when Al-nassr plays against Esteghlar, I find it difficult to predict, I would like to know You opinion, do You think Al-nassr will have great potential to win against Esteghlar or not? but in my personal opinion Al-nassr will win the match against Esteghlar.
The AFC champion league in Asia is no different from the UCL in Europe so that indeed every team that plays in the competition is the best team in Asia, Al Rayyan last season was able to end the season in second place in the Qatar league, as well as Al Nassr who last season end seasons as runner up in SPL league to qualif in the western region AFC champion league, Al Nassr victory against Al Rayyan is one of the proofs if Al Nassr is currently starting to adapt to the tactics and also the game strategy of Pioli, but so far we still have to see how Al Nassr mentality will be when meeting a strong team team in the league, so far Al Hillal is still a pretty tough team in the league and even in the Asian Champions League, Al Hillal leads the group phase of the western region right now, I think the match against Al Hillal, Al Ittihad and other teams that is in the top 4 zone of the SPL will of course be very crucial for pioli to prove how Al Nassr increse in performing when in his hands, to be honest I have never doubted Pioli ability to coach the team, so I can't wait to see how Al Nassr will be able to break Al Hillal dominance in the match week 9 later.
