AL NASSR with RONALDO - it's a MONSTER TEAM and here is WHY!

Alright, we all know Al Nasser as a mysterious club from Saudi Arabia that signed Cristiano Ronaldo himself. But in fact, the club's history and ambitions have a lot of interesting details to note. So in today's episode, we are about to explain to you what Project 7 eventually chose to pursue his career route. Subscribe to the channel and we are getting started. If you think Cristiano Ronaldo is the first star in the history of Al Nasser, then you are very wrong. The knights of night have already invited famous personalities not only from the present, but also from the past. Cristiano didn't even become the first winner of the Ballon d'Or, who managed to end up at the Arabian site. The first was actually Barcelona and Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov. In 1998, Al Nasser signed the striker for two matches to take the Asian Cup Winners' Cup. Luckily, the idea worked out well as the team triumphed at both the semifinals and the final with the Bulgarian in a squad, while Stoichkov himself netted one goal and gave one assist throughout those games. Not to mention his missed penalty kick. After the fabulous tournament campaign, Saudis wanted to keep the 1994 Ballon d'Or owner in their roster. Though Hristo did not want to stay there any longer, took the agreed €260,000 and flew to Japan. Fabio Cannavara was another star with the Ballon d'Or who was representing Al Nasser. However, the Italian was already signed as a coach in 2015. A beautiful story gone wrong this time. Fabio got sacked after just three and a half months of being in charge. De Nilsson, the 2002 World Cup winner as part of Brazil, also spent a season with the Arabian Giants. Therefore, local supporters definitely know what it's like to welcome World Cup superstars in their team. With all that said, famous Al Nasser performers are not just a thing of the past. The club's current lineup also looks pretty solid. For example, here we have Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina, who defended the colours of Arsenal and Napoli earlier on. Moreover, Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar, who scored the winner against Brazil at the recent World Cup race, also can be seen there playing up front. The international club can boast of a couple of Brazilians too. Celeceau defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo, who took part at the 2014 World Cup and played for Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg and Marseille in Europe and attacking player Ander Santeliska, who previously represented Benfica and China's Guangzhou Evergrande. Al Nasser are coached by the famous Rody Garcia. The Frenchman established himself after winning Liga 1 with Lille and also managing Roma, Marseille and Lyon. So, no matter how strange it may sound to football fans from Europe or America, the project this new club tries to implement sounds quite interesting on paper and more on that later. Believe it or not, but Al Nasser management intends to make its asset the number one club in Saudi Arabia. The first step to follow the said goal is to win the league. Although Al Nasser are not such a big deal in their country, the flagship of Arabian football are Al Hilal. Al Hilal has twice as many championship titles, 18 against 9. Besides, they have already won the Asian Champions League four times, while Al Nasser has no victories in this competition at all. Thus, Cristiano Ronaldo will have quite clear tasks, winning the National League and the Asian Champions League. Interestingly enough, both goals are directly related. This year, Al Nasser did not qualify for the Champions League, and one way to reach it is by winning the championship. Yeah, a ticket to Asia's main international tournament can be secured only after taking first place in the Saudi Arabia League. Any other spot in a standings doesn't provide such a chance. Basically, Cristiano has to help the Knights of Knight to win the championship. Al Nasser are already involved in the race for gold, so there is a chance to succeed already this season. And if all pieces come together, the team will compete for victory in the Champions League next season. Al Nasser reinforces their big plans not only by having Ronaldo in their squad. In terms of the number of the famous stars, they are head and shoulders above others in the league. If you look at transfer market, the total value of the club's players is the highest among all participants. 79.1 million euros. By the way, Al Hilal, who takes second place according to this particular data, have a lineup almost twice as cheap. 49.63 million euros. One shouldn't think it will be a walk in the park for Al Nasser to achieve at least a victory in the championship, though. Al Hilal also has strong players to talk about. Think of Adrian Ighalo, known for his spell at Watford and Man United in the Premier League. Moussa Marega, who once been playing in the Champions League for Porto. Mateus Pereira, Luciano Vieto, Andre Carillo and others. And this makes only half the challenge, because Al Hilal are not the only competitors Al Nasser have to face. Celebrities such as Ever Banega, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Felipe Caicedo, Adam Meyer and others play for other league representatives. Write in the comments below, do you believe Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to lead Al Nasser to victory in the league right in his first season run? At the start of 2023, the standings look as follows. By the way, ambitions of Al Nasser do not end up with Cristiano Ronaldo only. Immediately after the Portuguese accepted the offer from the Saudis, they wanted to add new stars to its roster. We are primarily talking about Sergio Ramos. Al Nasser bosses are eager to reunite the legendary Real Madrid duo within their squad. Keep in mind, these are not rumors from the yellow press. At this moment, Ramos cannot agree to a contract renewal with PSG, the term of which expires in the summer. While papers such as Marca and Sport have already written about links between the Spaniard and Al Nasser. The transfer would take place already in January. Just imagine the amount of hype if it does happen. Hit the like button if you want to see both footballers in one team once again. Apart from Ramos, Knights of Night are also interested in Sergio Busquets. This move seems less realistic, as Busquets has made it clear that his next destination after Barcelona will be MLS. Also, Marca posted some rumors over Al Nasser plans to secure Luka Maric's signature, but Croatian immediately rejected that possibility. Still, what sounds more realistic to pull off is the arrival of N'Golo Kante. Fut Mercato and Mir describe the circumstances which may lead to his possible transfer. N'Golo's contract with Chelsea expires next summer due to him picking one injury after another. To be fair, Ramos and Kante's moves are quite likely to be done. PSG and Chelsea are at risk of losing them for free already in the summer and will therefore be open to selling both for a small fee in January. So, stock up on popcorn and see how things will unfold further on. As soon as Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Al Nasser was announced, no one even thought about such a seemingly small topic as the Portuguese's place in the starting lineup. We bet it was considered a settled issue for the entire duration of the contract. Sure, for the first few months he will have full card blunch and appear on the pitch anyway even if his performances are disastrous. It would have been nice to work with Cristiano Ronaldo. I've always thought that working with great players is easier because they are smart. I know that from Tati's time at Roma. Rudy Garcia shared his excitement about the Portuguese's transfer. But what's next for Ron? At Al Nasser, Garcia tends to use a 4-2-3-1 formation. In it, Cristiano will have a place only at the forefront where they already have Vincente Aboubakar. Ander Santelisca, who is actually the league's best scorer at the moment with 9 goals, plays under the forward. It's unlikely that the manager suddenly decides to change the general pattern of his gaming philosophy which currently allows so Ronaldo is most likely to take Aboubakar's place instead. Moreover, Vincent will be able to appear in the wing of midfield if necessary, although it's not his main role. Keeping a player like Aboubakar on the bench seems like an incredible luxury, so Rudy Garcia will have to have a couple of headaches to settle places right. However, don't be surprised if Cristiano may even get benched at some point of his Saudi Arabian career. Folks, share if you are interested in the Al Nasser project and will you be following the journey of Cristiano and co on Saudi Arabia pitches.
