Despite the seemingly close statistics, the performance of Al-Nassr under the Italian coach Stefano Pioli does not reflect the team's true reality.

Since Pioli took over in September last year, Al-Nassr has played 42 matches, achieving 26 wins, drawing in 7 matches, and losing 9 games, scoring 95 goals while conceding 45.

However, despite the high offensive rate, the goals came in non-decisive matches against lower-level teams like Al-Akhidood, while the team showed a clear weakness in scoring and maintaining its defense in major matches.

The team's star Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his dissatisfaction with Pioli's tactical style, especially after the disappointing exit from Asian competitions, and threatened to leave if the coach was not dismissed.

These statements put the club's management in a difficult position between keeping Ronaldo or supporting the coach, amidst increasing fan pressure calling for Pioli's dismissal due to the weak performance and failure in important competitions.
