Al Nassr is not just about Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo cannot play alone in helping Al Nassr to be in 1st place in the table.
It is natural that we see Al Nassr just like seeing Cristiano because Ronaldo is a big athlete even if it is said that he is bigger than Al Nassr we also do not argue.
If everyone expects Cristiano Ronaldo to win Al Nassr, for me it is wrong. The coach's strategy and teamwork which is then given to Ronaldo on the pitch, I think it is more realistic.
Al Iittihad and Al Hilal did that well.

At times I believe that Ronaldo's presence in Al Nassr has made the other players complacent, or even outright lazy. Look at the other forwards such as Jhon Durán and Sadio Mané. They play in a very relaxed manner nowadays. Same with Marcelo Brozović and Otávio in mid-field. The thinking seems to be like - Ronaldo will do all the hard work. Why we need to toil so hard? I have one solution for this. Let's remove Ronaldo as the captain. That will reduce his workload and encourage other players to put some hard work.
I'm sure that it has to be with Ronaldo, if we take a look at the stats of many players who moved to the Saudi league we can notice very average performances, why? In my opinion it's simply because they moved there just for the money, they have no attachment to the club and they don't really care about a competition like the Saudi league, so they just play ok, they do their minimum and that is it.
