🎙️ No Limit Football Podcast – Episode 50

For our 50th episode, we’re celebrating one of football’s most extraordinary legends — R9, Ronaldo Nazário, widely regarded as the greatest striker of all time. There will never be another player like him. From his early days at Cruzeiro, to his rise in PSV Eindhoven, the magic at Barcelona, the challenges and triumphs at Inter Milan, the glory at Real Madrid, and even his time at AC Milan, Ronaldo’s career was nothing short of legendary. And of course, his unforgettable moments with Brazil — World Cups, Copa América, and countless iconic goals — cemented his place in history.

Sunastats hosts this special episode, joined by Timo and The Simple Gents, as they dive deep into R9’s journey. From the highs to the lows, the triumphs to the heartbreaks, they’ll discuss what made Ronaldo unique, why his talent was unmatched, and how he inspired an entire generation of football fans.

This milestone episode is an honour to the greatest striker football has ever seen — a player whose skill, speed, and flair changed the game forever. Sit back, relive the magic, and join us as we celebrate R9: the legend, the phenomenon, and the one who will never be forgotten.

In Episode 49, Simple Gent takes a deep look at Arsenal and Mikel Arteta’s project. After years of rebuilding, ups and downs, and trusting the process, the big question is finally here: has Arteta built a team in his own image—one that plays the way he wants and one that is strong enough to win the Premier League?

We talk about how Arsenal have changed over the last few seasons: their new winning mentality, the stronger squad depth, the quality signings, and the young players who are now leaders. We discuss what Arteta has done differently, how the team has improved in big games, and whether this version of Arsenal is finally ready to fight for the title all the way to the end.

Simple Gent shares honest thoughts, tough opinions, and real questions: Can Arsenal handle the pressure? Do they have the consistency? And is this the season where everything finally comes together?

In episode 46 of No Limit Football, host Sunastats sits down with Simple Gents to take a deep dive into Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Together, they review last season — a campaign full of energy, belief, and progress. Arsenal led the Premier League for most of the year, powered by young stars like Saka, Ødegaard, and Martinelli, and boosted by the impact of signings such as Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko.

The conversation explores how Arteta has rebuilt the team’s identity, the challenges faced in the final stretch, and what finishing second behind Manchester City really means for the club’s future. From the atmosphere at the Emirates to the rise of a fearless young squad, this episode captures why fans once again believe Arsenal are on the path back to glory.

What makes a football club truly "global"? For Al-Nasr FC, the journey from local powerhouse to international sensation has been remarkable, earning them the nickname "Al Alami" after becoming the first Saudi team to compete in the 2020 Club World Cup against giants like Real Madrid.

Two passionate Al-Nasr supporters, Abdullah and Abdulaziz, take us behind the scenes of Saudi Arabia's football revolution. They candidly discuss last season's struggles with administrative problems and lack of discipline, contrasted with the renewed hope brought by new coach Jesus. His strong personality and tactical prowess at clubs like Benfica give fans reason to believe this season could end their six-year Saudi Pro League trophy drought.

The squad transformation has been nothing short of extraordinary. Joao Felix (who recently scored a hat-trick) and Kingsley Coman now complement superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané in a team built to challenge for multiple trophies. Perhaps most fascinating is how the Saudi Pro League has evolved to attract world-class talent without forcing players to sacrifice their international careers – a significant shift that legitimizes the competition on the global stage.

Yet this revolution creates an intriguing paradox. As international stars flood the domestic league, opportunities diminish for local players, potentially contributing to the Saudi national team's World Cup qualification struggles. This stands in stark contrast to the golden era of Saudi football (1994-1998) when legendary figures like Majid Abdullah – whom our guests name as the greatest Saudi player ever – led the national team to international prominence. Subscribe now to dive deeper into Saudi football's fascinating evolution and Al-Nasr's quest for glory.

They explore whether the league can become truly self-sufficient, the key challenges ahead, and the strategies needed to compete with the biggest football leagues globally.

Mavericks to Systems: How Football Changed
There was a time when one genius could win you the game—think Ronaldinho, Jay-Jay Okocha, Paul Gascoigne. These mavericks played with freedom, flair, and unpredictability. But modern football is different. It's no longer about the solo star; it’s about the system.

In this episode, we explore how the game has evolved from relying on individual brilliance to structured, data-driven, and tactical systems. We’ll look at the rise of pressing, positional play, and squad rotation—where roles matter more than names on the back of the shirt.

Why is it harder today for a maverick to shine? Could players like Matt Le Tissier or Kaka survive in today’s high-intensity, coach-dominated setups? And what does this shift mean for fans who miss the unpredictable magic of old-school football?

Join us as we explore the tactical revolution that changed football forever
