What is wrong with Al Nassr? Just when it looked like they regained form, they suffered yet another upset defeat. Al Orobah is a team that is ranked 12th in the points table. Somehow Al Nassr managed to lose a match against them. As a result, now Al Nassr has the same number of points as 5th placed Al Ahli, and they are three points below Al Qadsiah. The combination of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jhon Durán worked in the first 1-2 matches, but it is not clicking now. Time to go back to Ronaldo - Sadio Mané combination?
I think in recent weeks Al nassr have struggled and even when they are the favourite team but they actually appear disappointing in match, maybe the combination of Ronaldo and Duran has now been read and easily anticipated by the opponent, so indeed Pioli may need to change their game scheme, especially in their last two matches against Al Orobah in the SPL and also Esteghlal in the AFC it was clear that the opposing players managed to break every their attack, in my opinion Al nassr often struggles to maintain intensity when facing opponents who are be regarded weak like Al Orobah, even though for now Al Nassr actually needs every victory in the remaining matches, because however their position and qualification for the AFC next season will be very threatened if they do not immediately return to winning ways.
