They definitely play a man down until the ball is anywhere near the box. He can no longer dribble past the worst defenders and the only few times he does track back he looks too gassed and ends up walking around shaking his head. The novelty of the league has definitely declined quicklyI am not sure if another 39 goals are worth the embarrassment. If Al-Nassr and their fans don’t even want him and there is a sense he is actively hindering the teams’ chances even at that level, what is the point of it all?
He was an unbelievable player, he doesn’t need this and none of it is positive for his legacy.

He does look genuinely terrible at times from what I have seen. His body can’t do what was so easy for him. I don’t know what his WC appearances will look like in 5 months time.
Another 39 goals will be painful in legs that have given up a few years ago.
I appreciate thisIn fairness, he's always been a decent striker
Yup. Probably manufacturing a move with his latest antics. Time is not on his side and I wouldn't be surprised if he's prioritising 1000 goals while keeping his legacy largely intact. He's way below the level required of Al Nassr and needs to drop a couple of levels before hanging his boots within a year. No idea where he goes next though. Maybe India or Indonesia.I am not sure if another 39 goals are worth the embarrassment.

And making them the 3rd best teamSuch a baby. It’s only fun when playing for the best team.
Al Hilal (the team he’s complaining about) signed Nunes and Theo Hernandez in the summer and just completed the signing of Meite from Rennes.Such a baby. It’s only fun when playing for the best team.

His team signed Simakan, Felix and Coman.
The teams look equal to me, if anything id say Al Nasr has a better squad. Not sure why he’s complaining.
Weirdo.
Yeah apparently there’s a whole bunch of deals held up because of this. Benzema to Al Hilal - El Nesyri to Al Ittihad - Kante to Fenerbahce - Marcos Leonardo to Atletico Madrid.I've seen that Al Hilal (top of the table atm) are close to signing Benzema from al Ittihad, while al nassr, having led the league for some time season, are falling back now and might not be getting anyone in january to stop al Hilal from pulling away.
Anyway, thats what i'm reading into it.
What a baby, he's really ruined the legacy. It's weird that he has a new fanbase of online trolls that only have seen him in the last 5 years and think he the best player of all time and will defend him to the ends.Yeah apparently there’s a whole bunch of deals held up because of this.

Fabrizio said its a domino effect.
In effect it was to help him reach the 1000 milestone in Saudi Arabia, and his fans could salivate over each stepping stone goal along the way, whilst the team achieve nothing as a partial consequence.I am not sure if another 39 goals are worth the embarrassment.

My thoughts exactly with those headlines.If only there were better reasons to go on strike for as one the most famous persons working in Saudi Arabia.
They'll probably give him some of Benzema's goals too.They've stopped Benzema transfer to appease Ronaldo... What a way to run a league...

Had an absolutely glittering career but is ending it in the most undignified fashion possible, all because he’s teaming with insecurity.Every time I read about yet another thing he's done, I'm genuinely glad I chose to be on the better side of the Messi Ronaldo debate. The man is embarrassing beyond belief.
Ultimately, no one would really remember or care about the antics. They'll just be another line in wikipedia. A scorer of 1,000 goals, however, will be a headliner that will follow him forever.
My favourite part is the bbc article mentions Benzema is on £1.6m a week but whatever they offered him to extend caused him so much insult he chose to just not play the next game.They've stopped Benzema transfer to appease Ronaldo... What a way to run a league...
Aren‘t the clubs all owned by the same company/dude anyways?They've stopped Benzema transfer to appease Ronaldo... What a way to run a league...
Didn't sound very grounded to me when he called himself a slave. Let's be real, as brilliant a footballer as he was, his personality had always been problematic.When he was with us in his first stint, it was obvious there was a massive ego there, but I never imagined he would turn into the absolute cringe fest that he has. It's embarrassing.
I still say he fecked up by leaving United too early. Fergie's fatherly influence helped keep him grounded. Without it, he's obviously just been surrounded by yes-men who let him do whatever he wants, which has contributed to him becoming the utter trainwreck he is today.
True - somewhat grounded would have been a more accurate statement.Didn't sound very grounded to me when he called himself a slave. Let's be real, as brilliant a footballer as he was, his personality had always been problematic.
