Al Nassr defense looked like a nightmare for the team. We could see this during the match. In the first half, Al Nassr took the lead through a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 41st minute from a penalty kick. Then in injury time in the first half, Franck Kessie managed to equalize the score. In the second half, Al Nassr regained the lead through a goal scored by Marcelo Brozovic. However, Al Ahli managed to penetrate Al Nassr defense line and equalized the score again. In the end, Al Nassr suffered a defeat and failed to win the championship because they failed in the penalty shootout. So I think you're right about Al Nassr's poor defense, which should have been reliable when Al Nassr took the lead several times. If that had happened, Al Nassr might have won the championship. However this should be a bitter lesson that the team must learn. Jorge Jesus should have realized this, so he can improve Al Nassr defensive weaknesses.
Over the past few seasons, this team's weakness has always been the same: its defense. Even after changing coaches several times, the results remain the same. And strangely, there hasn't been much movement in the transfer market each season to improve the defense.

However, this transfer window, Al Nassr has at least brought in Inigo Martinez to strengthen the backline. Inigo Martinez, a center-back, should have a positive impact. And I hope that, although Al Nassr has still shown weaknesses in the defense in the previous few matches, I hope Al Nassr will no longer show those weaknesses in the SPL. And in the upcoming first week, Al Nassr will face Al Taawon, whose strength is undeniable. And that will be a good test for this team. And I hope Jorge Jesus can be the coach who can fix this team's weaknesses.
