2: 3 makes Ronaldo helpless! Riyadh s new formation test failed, it is difficult to score two goals alone, but the championship is still difficult to win

In a friendly match that just ended, Riyadh lost 2:3 to the Spanish Second Division team Almeria. Although Ronaldo scored twice in the game and played a top-notch performance in just half, the result of this game really made him feel a little unacceptable. It is no exaggeration to say that the problems exposed by Riyadh victory in this game still bother them, and even the prospects for the new season are quite bad.

Why do you say so? First, although this is only a friendly match, Riyadh victory is highly valued. After all, they need to fight with European teams during the offseason to find out where the real ceiling of this lineup is. Therefore, Riyadh won the game and came up with the strongest lineup at this stage. On the front line, Ronaldo is partnering with Mane and new player Felix, while Brozovic and others are led in the midfield. In terms of defense, Riyadh victory directly sent Igni Martinez, who had just officially announced his joining the team. The lineup is stronger on paper than last season, so the fans and the club are very confident, but the game process is not satisfactory. Shortly after the opening, problems arose in Riyadh’s victory defense line. Leaving 0:1 in just 6 minutes, Riyadh's victory began to become impatient. Fortunately, Ronaldo gradually began to take over the game next, and he first scored a goal to equalize the score. Then he took the penalty and scored twice, and Riyadh won 2:1 to take the lead. Unfortunately, as the first half ended, the team's defense line had another problem, and Embarba scored a goal to tie the score.

Then in the second half, the coach replaced the Portuguese superstar in the game. However, this decision left Riyadh's victory completely passive in the second half. After Ronaldo came off the court, Riyadh's victory side completely lost the threat on the offensive end. Although Mane can still use breakthroughs to create damage to the team, his age is very poor in his shooting conversion rate and last pass choice. Felix on the other side is not much better, he is still young and looks at his peak.

But the players seemed a little nervous, and some balls were still too slow to handle. And careful fans will find that Felix now seems to have been smoothed out, and he has lost the spirit of the past that he was proud of as a young technical player. This game can only be said to be fair and average, although it is very hard, the upper limit seems to be like this. No wonder it was given up by major clubs in the five major leagues before, but now Felix is too mediocre. As for other aspects, except for B Ronaldo, who was able to withstand the opponent's rhythm, everyone else was beaten up. Martinez is the only player in the defense line. When he was a newcomer, he showed off his strength as a giant-level starter, intercepted and destroyed his opponents' threatening attacks many times, which can be said to have saved the lower limit for Riyadh's victory. If Martinez did not play in this game, Riyadh would have been hit with more than five goals in the victory. From this point of view, Riyad's victory in introducing Igni Martinez was the right choice. Looking at the whole game, Riyadh's victory in the midfield and backcourt was still not strong enough. Almeria has a lot of threatening offensive opportunities, but the opponent's forwards did not take this friendly match seriously. So they were wasting opportunities at will, and even so they scored three goals and won, which showed the gap in the strength of the two teams.

You should know that Riyadh victory is already considered the top three teams in the Saudi league. During the offseason, he strengthened many positions and seemed to be able to compete with Xinyue and Jeddah United, but the actual situation was still far behind. You know, Almeria is just a team in the Segunda Level 2. In the five major leagues, it is not even a third-rate, which proves that Riyadh's victory has not made much progress. For Ronaldo, who is determined to compete for the championship next season, the current situation of the team is still difficult to win teams such as Riyadh Crescent and Jeddah United.
