Al Nassr sits 2nd in the Saudi league with 53 points in 24 games, 3 points behind leaders Al Ittihad. However, the leaders have a game in hand and can extend the lead to 6 points later this month. Nevertheless, it is clear that the statement made about his impact, and an unproductive match, got the worst out of the Portuguese star. Al-Hilal did their part in deterring the Portuguese pre-game as they indulged in some mind games.
The mind games from Al-Hilal on Cristiano Ronaldo
The mind games started yesterday as former Al Hilal star Ibrahim Al-Jawid talked about Al Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

He said, “He is a goalscorer and is capable of scoring at any time. But, in more than one match, he didn’t score and was not at the level expected of him, I don’t think he poses a threat to Al-Hilal players who are used to playing against international players, clubs, and teams, and about two months ago they played against European champions Real Madrid and before that they faced Messi.”
Moreover, the statement came mere days after Al Hilal offered the biggest contract in soccer history to the Argentine soccer maestro Lionel Messi. Although it is clear that Messi’s intent is solely to stay in Europe and most probably go back to his boyhood club, FC Barcelona.
