If the current defenders cannot be developed further under the guidance of the coach, then Al Nassr will only spend more money in the transfer market next season to improve their team. They have to catch up with Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. If they make some proper transfers in preparation for next season, maybe they will be ready to compete with Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.
That's right, defense problems are currently a specter that continues to haunt Al Nasr. The reason is that since Ronaldo first joined Al Nasr, Al Nasr's defense cannot be said to be very good. Even after Al Nasr bought defenders like Laporte and Brozovic, the results remained the same. So basically Al Nasr in previous seasons did not buy the right players for their defense line. Maybe Al Nasr was only attracted by the big names of these players and Al Nasr did not consider whether their performance might be good or not. Therefore, next season Al Nasr will definitely have to buy a better defender if Al Nasr wants to be able to compete better with rivals Al Hilal. Because if Al Nasr does not do this, it is likely that Al Nasr will be even further left behind by its rivals.
Because from what I see, the current performance of Al Nasr's defenders seems to be getting worse. Even though Al Nasr has also bought new players such as Mohammed Simakan in the previous transfer window, instead of improving, Al Nasr's defense line looks even more chaotic. So I think Al Nasr really has to do a thorough analysis first when buying a new defender. Because if Al Nasr just buys more defenders, in my opinion it's just a waste of money if the players are of poor quality. So the Al Nasr analysis team really has to be more careful when recruiting new players.
If they want to bring in European players to strengthen their defense, I think it will be quite difficult to get those who are still in their best form. Al Nassr may have enough funds to attract European professional players, but not all players will think about the money offer. Some who are still in their productive age will think about spending their best years in Europe.
Al Nassr must find another way to strengthen their defense.
