It was a losing day for the two top teams in the league yet they still remain at the top. The only option that would have worked for both matches were both teams score and also over 2.5 goals, although their odds would have been lower than the direct away wins that failed. Well, it is gambling and losses must happen no matter how careful we are.
It is now obvious that the competition in the Saudi league have become so intense even though Cristiano Ronaldo side have not lived up to expectations. We have Al Ittihad chasing the defending champion Al Hilaal closely and being separated by goal difference. The league is still early and things can still turn around for any of the teams.
LOL.. as usual, all the blame falls on Cristiano Ronaldo. It doesn't matter that at the age of close to 40, he is singlehandedly leading the attack in Al Nassr. His club is not performing well, but there is not much that he can do about it. They need to strengthen the defense and the management has been ignoring this problem for quite some time. When they brought Aymeric Laporte and Mohamed Simakan to the team, the issue was put on the backburner. But these two haven't performed well recently.
cristiano ronaldo is one of the best stars of all time and cristiano ronaldo is criticized when the club he is at performs poorly and full credit is given to cristiano ronaldo when the club does well. I will not say that Cristiano Ronaldo's time in the Saudi League is not going well, but the condition of this team is not very good. While Al Nassr is supposed to be at the top of the Saudi league, leaving behind all other teams, this team has not been performing satisfactorily recently.
Cristiano Ronaldo is being blamed for Al Nassr not performing at his best because a star of such size is in charge of the main attacking in this league so why he is not able to lead the team to victory is the question of many. But football is a game of 11 players. If one team has 10 players, if the other team has 11 players, even if the team of 10 players is strong, they cannot compete with 11 players. Al Nassr will have to make some changes otherwise their performance will not improve.
It's so shameful that fans would be pouring their frustration on C Ronaldo, with claims that he's to be blamed for their club not performing well, Ronaldo might be a world class player but blaming a man that's close to 40 cause he's leading the attack is not fair, Ronaldo have tried for the club, he's scored lots of goal I think about 84 if am not mistaken, for the team and fans shouldn't expect that he'll be leading both attack and defence cause he's a world class player, if the board is serious about succeding, I think they should sign more players especially defence cause Al Nassr's defence is poor. Well I saw in a news on X by popular journalist (Ben Jacobs) that Al Nassr is in search of an attacker and they've been in contact with Leverkusen and Aston Villa for Victor Boniface and Jhon Duran but a deal for Boniface is more realistic cause Aston Villa are demanding for €100m whereas Boniface would be way more cheaper.
