Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[rendravolt]

Still in the atmosphere of European player transfers, there are new arrivals in the Saudi league and they are certainly familiar with this great figure and yeah Ivan Rakitic has officially joined Al-Shabab. After spending his entire career in Germany and Spain, the former Schalke, Sevilla and Barcelona player finally started to think about ending his retirement by joining a Saudi league team. Ivan Rakitic will be in a competition with other European players such as Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane etc. and Ivan Rakitic's contract will end in 2025.

If you look at Al-Shabab's performance this season, it has dropped quite drastically and they really need to add depth to their European players so they can compete again with the elite Saudi league teams and I think the right decision was to choose Ivan Rakitic in this transfer. He is an experienced midfielder and there is no doubt about his quality. Even though his prime is over, at least at the Saudi league level he is still good enough to boost the team.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently injured and I'm yet to confirm if he'll be fit enough to feature for his club as they play against their Saudi Pro League rival Al Hilal later this week. Just two days ago, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami played against Al Nassr but were humiliated with an embarrassing result as they were thumped with a 6:0 scoreline and after Lionel Messi was introduced after the 80th minute mark, Inter Miami still failed to find the back of the net.
In the league, Al Nassr and Al Hilal have been the top two sides in
the Saudi Pro League table and that's I'm sure that the two clubs will be putting in their all to win against each if not for anything, for the bragging rights of the club's fans.

Ah, it seems I'm missing out on information regarding the development of the Saudi Pro League teams. so, I immediately went looking for the latest information regarding Ronaldo. referring to several newspapers that I read, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly returned to training and is taking part in preparations for the duel between Al Nassr and Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup match at the Kingdom Stadium, next Friday. reportedly, after one week of recovery, Arab Media Arriadiyah reported that Cristiano Ronaldo participated in 70 percent of Al Nassr's training program in preparation for facing Al Hilal, Saturday, local time. in short, Ronaldo has reportedly recovered. so, it seems that Ronaldo will be fielded when Al Nassr plays against Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup. thus, this match should present a fierce battle between the two top Saudi Pro League teams.

Talking about Inter Miami, this team from the MLS League is filled with Barcelona legend players and one of them is Leonel Messi. IMO, just being an entertainment team or a complementary team, in the end the real match is the Al Nassr versus Al Hilal fight. referring to the last point you said, I would prefer if this match showed more of a battle of prestige between these two teams. so, we just hope that when the time comes, both teams will provide a very interesting battle for us to watch.

[Jody.Drummer]

It's not just Al Nassr that has been impacted by Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival, but the Saudi Pro League as a whole. I'm sure before he came to Al Nassr some of us had never seen or wanted to find out about the Saudi Pro League, including me. But after he was here we became more aware of what was in the Saudi Pro League and even now maybe we know who are the plyers who play here, who have stunning performances and so on.
It can be said that Ronaldo is a promoter so that the Arab Pro League becomes more popular as it is now. And I am sure the money they spend is also worth what they can get. He also managed to show his game, not only expensive in price, but he also gave something valuable to the Saudi Pro League.

With the benefits that Saudi Arabia has gained by bringing Ronaldo to its club, it is evident that La Liga Saudi Pro is slowly starting to become known to everyone and as a supporter of the Saudi club, currently I see Cristiano Ronaldo looking very enthusiastic and enthusiastic. have fun. His career is currently in Saudi Arabia and as proven by Ronaldo's goal contribution which reached 4-1, he ended 2023 sweetly after winning against Al Taawoun on Sunday, December 31.

Yes, it's true, he also looks happier, more comfortable and enthusiastic when he's here, we didn't see that when he was in the Manchester United uniform. I started to believe what Ronaldo said about the real situation at Manchester United, from the atmosphere in the dressing room to the situation surrounding Manachester United's management.
We can see him being successful once again with a different club, even though he hasn't won the SPL title for example, but we can't deny that his performance was also very good here and made a big contribution to Al Nassr's game.
But I'm still curious when he retires. Is he interested in coaching? Will he become a coach? If yes I want to see if he will be as successful as his career as a player? that's what's on my mind now.

Still in the atmosphere of European player transfers, there are new arrivals in the Saudi league and they are certainly familiar with this great figure and yeah Ivan Rakitic has officially joined Al-Shabab. After spending his entire career in Germany and Spain, the former Schalke, Sevilla and Barcelona player finally started to think about ending his retirement by joining a Saudi league team. Ivan Rakitic will be in a competition with other European players such as Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane etc. and Ivan Rakitic's contract will end in 2025.

Rakitic is old and Al-Shabab knew about that so they only signed one year contract with Rakitic. They maybe will expand it if he plays well for them in his first season in Saudi Professional League. Rakitic is a midfielder from a generation of Modric, Mandzukic and Perisic in Croatia. Together they made a golden generation for Croatia and went too deep in World Cup, Euro and Nations League.

Al Shabab can hope that Rakitic with his experience will be able to help them to control midfield well and increase their creativeness in attacking as well.

If you look at Al-Shabab's performance this season, it has dropped quite drastically and they really need to add depth to their European players so they can compete again with the elite Saudi league teams and I think the right decision was to choose Ivan Rakitic in this transfer. He is an experienced midfielder and there is no doubt about his quality. Even though his prime is over, at least at the Saudi league level he is still good enough to boost the team.

Rakitic can not change Al-Shabab intirely because with his position, very few midfielders are able to change a whole team. Now with his age, it's harder to achieve that big mission but he can help them a little bit in quality, ball possession and can help other players in Al-Shabab play better.

Yes, it's true, he also looks happier, more comfortable and enthusiastic when he's here, we didn't see that when he was in the Manchester United uniform.

but I don't want to see him coach any team. he is very good on the field, and he is also very good at encouraging his teammates. he can be the driving force of the team. and everything he has built amazingly, I hope it won't be destroyed when he coaches a club.
We have seen several names of top European players who have decided to train clubs. there are successful ones like Xavi and Xabi. but some always fail and even get cursed by fans.
If Ronaldo has to retire at Al Nassr, that wouldn't be a bad ending for him.

Ivan Rakitic has been a household name in European football for the last decade especially in Spain and his arrival to the Saudi Pro League will further expose the league to a wider global audience as many people would be turning their attention to the Saudi league whenever his new club Al Shabab is in action.

When I first read about the report that the former Barcelona player who helped Barcelona to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy in the 2014/15 season was bound to join Al Shabab, I was very surprised and also happy for the development of football in the Saudi league for the past one year. With the presence of Ivan Rakitic in the Al Shabab team, they're definitely going to improve in their performance because Rakitic isn't only going to bring his technical know-how to them but will also help in grooming other young players in the team in to becoming very solid and impressive performers with his experience as a former European star footballer.

[slapper]

In the next four days, we will watch a big match between the two rivals, namely Al Hilal vs Al Nassr. even though it is not in the Saudi Pro League, this match is likely to present a contest of high prestige between the two competing clubs. in the Ryadh Season Cup 2024, I haven't gotten the odds based on the betting exchange. I don't know which team is superior, but this match will be a prestigious match for the two teams that will compete. even though this competition is not actually an important match, it will be very important for the two teams to beat each other. moreover, Al Hilal seems to have a target to appear impressive with their positive trend in every match they play. that's why, I think this match will be a serious fight.

Likewise with Al Nassr, as a rival and has more competitive depth. Luis Castro's team will not allow his team to be overthrown easily. onstead, Ronaldo and his colleagues will do their best to overthrow their rivals. unless the two teams consider this match to be purely a friendly match. then the players being played could be second tier players. Well, to be sure, let's wait for these two teams to meet.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently injured and I'm yet to confirm if he'll be fit enough to feature for his club as they play against their Saudi Pro League rival Al Hilal later this week. Just two days ago, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami played against Al Nassr but were humiliated with an embarrassing result as they were thumped with a 6:0 scoreline and after Lionel Messi was introduced after the 80th minute mark, Inter Miami still failed to find the back of the net.
In the league, Al Nassr and Al Hilal have been the top two sides in
the Saudi Pro League table and that's I'm sure that the two clubs will be putting in their all to win against each if not for anything, for the bragging rights of the club's fans.

It's making me nervous that we don't know if he will play against Al Hilal. I wouldn't rush him back unless he's completely healthy. Putting Ronaldo at risk could fail in the long run. Al Nassr will miss how well he played with him on the field, especially in a very important game against Al Hilal. I'm interested to see how Al Nassr will do without Ronaldo. Talisca and Sadio Mane are both great players, but Al Hilal's defense makes it hard to depend on them. The strength and strategy of the team will be put to the test. Without Ronaldo, I think Al Nassr will have a hard time

It was good for shabab but it's bad for rakitic caused by he will be joining in the mediocre club. I think that i hope he will find a better club to play but since he will be using it as a retirement club then i think that's good enough consider he wil get good salary from there. I think that this is the main problem that has been encountered by him caused by there was no european club that has interest to recrit him as a new player. This offer is not that bad for him but i hope he can find a better option. He can start to send his proposal to go to the other club. Let's see what's gonna be his final decision but as long as he will find to play in al shabab and im feel good with it.

He can at least continue his career as a football player caused by he was not young anymore. This means that if may be looking for the good salary that being offered by saudi pro league club. this is very useful caused by the club can perform better with him.
Rakitic was not young anymore and  he can at very least play for the professional football competition like saudi pro league. I must say that if this is still an acceptable decision by him.

[Webetcoins]

Many gamblers worry for the Ronaldo buying sharing in the Saudi Arabia League,because the Saudi Arabia government had their investment in the Saudi Arabia League.So the Saudi Arabia League was the strongest one compared to the German League.The German government never had their share in the League,Saudi Arabia League was financed by the government and had huge root for the future.If you compared the future aspects the Saudi Arabia League was more successful in the future.The Ronaldo is the professional football player,So he know which give him huge profit for the long run in the future game.

Here I am confused about your statement because I am not feeling it's right to compare German League with Saudi League because these both are completely different things with German League is one of the top established leagues in world, and they are around for more than half century with Saudi League is having development recently with huge investment from government because of market and many other factors which bring government to invest and create good things for the investors which bring their investment in near future specially as government is also involved in development of the game with their new vision in this country and their main focus is Soccer World Cup which will bring more changes and development in this game in region.

So, if Ronaldo is buying shares then surely this could be their market tactics because they want to oblige more peoples for this and also want to have public investment as well in this project as well.

Indeed, that is bad for Rakitic, but if Rakitic joins an elite Saudi league team then the distribution of European players in other Saudi league teams will not go well. I believe a league will be more competitive if good players are not only at one dominating club and this is a good step taken by mediocre Saudi league teams to get additional strength from European players. Previously Yannick Carasco also joined Al-Shabab but the results were still not optimal and therefore Al-Shabab added depth to their squad by bringing in Rakitic.

Rakitic is 35 years old and actually even if there was an offer from a Turkish league or Ligue 1 team, it would still be good, but unfortunately that offer has never been heard of until now. The decision has been made by Rakitic to continue his football career in Saudi Arabia and he at least gets a relaxed league without having to think about future titles and most importantly can help this team improve and also get a big salary.

[QueenVera]

The Saudi League is a rich league, therefore clubs in the Saudi League do not have financial problems and they can easily recruit European star players with the finances they have even at high prices, such as when Al Nassr bought Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, Al Hilal bought Neymar from PSG and also Ittihad brought Karim Benzema from Real Madrid. They are star players in the European league and the transfer fees are not small so the Saudi league can still recruit these star players to advance the league itself.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the player who has had the biggest impact in the Saudi League and thanks to him the Saudi League has become famous because there are so many Ronaldo fans in various parts of the world that it has made the Saudi League even more popular since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi League, especially clubs like Al Nassr and even got tickets playing in the Champions League like a rumor I've heard because there might be Ronaldo at the Al Nassr club.

Based on the agenda of the Saudi Pro League striving to create visibility and awareness in the European space with the major goal of ensuring an expanded sports market, the clubs find themselves in a situation where there's less utilization of local players. These players have no doubt some certain level of effects to a club but the aims of these clubs won't allow for the players to be used. It'll only make sense that a policy be put in place for the use of local players in every team but I don't think that'll be enough to take them to where they visioned the league to get to.

 SPL wants to be broadcasted and be seen worldwide and this makes for the rapid purchase and push for European stars who'd cause focus to gradually be shifted to their league. If the local players are entertained, then there'd definitely be no room for this hot caked stars in Europe and in the long run, it won't give them the focus they want to get. All things in the SPL currently occurs as a planned activity, and they are all working towards a set goal. It's only a gradual process before the impacts are seen.

[Volgastallion]

Al shabab was where Banega was? Seems like they are changing Banega for Rakitic who are very similar players, in fact they come from the same last team both were at Sevilla before reaching Al shabab, in the case of Banega he was more young than Rakitic when he touch arabian soil.

[GigaBit]

Yes, it's true, he also looks happier, more comfortable and enthusiastic when he's here, we didn't see that when he was in the Manchester United uniform. I started to believe what Ronaldo said about the real situation at Manchester United, from the atmosphere in the dressing room to the situation surrounding Manachester United's management.
We can see him being successful once again with a different club, even though he hasn't won the SPL title for example, but we can't deny that his performance was also very good here and made a big contribution to Al Nassr's game.
But I'm still curious when he retires. Is he interested in coaching? Will he become a coach? If yes I want to see if he will be as successful as his career as a player? that's what's on my mind now.

but I don't want to see him coach any team. he is very good on the field, and he is also very good at encouraging his teammates. he can be the driving force of the team. and everything he has built amazingly, I hope it won't be destroyed when he coaches a club.
We have seen several names of top European players who have decided to train clubs. there are successful ones like Xavi and Xabi. but some always fail and even get cursed by fans.
If Ronaldo has to retire at Al Nassr, that wouldn't be a bad ending for him.

Coaching plans are not unusual for successful athletes. It is very natural that when a player finishes his career successfully, he can be a coach of that sport as his next career. However, we know that no one can give any assurance that a good or famous player will perform well as a coach. Ronaldo is a reliable and capable player. If he ever thinks he will take over the coaching duties at that club, he will have massive support from the fans. But how a successful player ends his football journey depends on the player. Ronaldo is one of the prominent names in the football world. I also think that if he takes over the responsibility of the club after his retirement, it won't be a bad decision for him. But he himself knows which is very profitable for him.

I don't think writing him off even before he gives it a trial is logical enough because like you did stated there are other European players who after retirement has been able to get back to coaching and they are in no way do bad, they have been able to achieve some good success so far except for a few who has performed poorly.

Xabi is someone that you wouldn't believe would achieve such great success at the beginning of his career as a coach but then so far he has don what some big and experienced coach will have not been able to achieve with a team that doesn't even have a big name in their domestic league and across Europe earlier so it's such a great height that is very much deserving of commendation even if he's yet to win the leagues title but he's got a very good trial at he's first attempt, so it's very possible Ronald could achieve something great in coaching career after retirement from actively playing football.

Many people find it hard to switch from playing to leading. But the positive is worth contemplating. Like Xavi and Xabi, ex-players may bring new ideas and energy to their teams. I believe Ronaldo's work ethic and understanding of the game could help a team from the bench. I believe Ronaldo should be given a chance, even though not all great players make good leaders. Coaching could be a good use of leadership and motivation. Al Nassr could be a good place for him to end his career, on or off the field.

There is no doubt things are not unusual but still these are not for all as well because coaching is not all about playing it's also needed good knowledge of game and also work about strategy and players mentality which helps teams to have better results and also give good play in all conditions we have many top athletes those achieve historic successes into their playing career but fail as coaches because they were not able to have things which are important with too many never try in this way because they were sure they will be not able to have success with their skills or strategy.

Ronaldo and Messi are legendary players so can they do coaching it's never been predictable because we are not well aware about their future strategy and can they achieve things which are important these are also not sure but can they give try or stay with other life it's also not predictable.

The Saudi Arabia teams are usually in the good financial situation and they have rich owners, in fact, the owners of these teams have enough money to supply everything they need and the owners are the family of the King of Saud Arabia. That's why they don't need to sell any stock to anyone including Ronaldo. But this can be a good advertisement for Al Nassr and Saudi teams to have a person like Ronaldo buying stocks.

Of course, Saudi teams have very good financial status. The owners of Saudi teams are the people who have almost unlimited money. That's why they are very easy to spend a lot of money for a superstar player like Ronaldo. Sure, they don't need to sell their stock, what for? The owners have no problem with the financial stability, they are not the owner of Barcelona. 

No doubt that Ronaldo brings a very big impact. Having him on the club is a part of the club's advertisement. Al Nassr also can use his name in any event of Al Nassr team. We know Ronaldo has huge fans around the world, they are quite loyal to follow Ronaldo's journey. When Ronaldo joined Saudi league, they are starting to watch Saudi matches and joined the social media of Al Nassr.

yep, that makes a lot more sense.
financially, the SPL has enormous financial resources. we can see from the very large salary offers for european players and if we think about Ronaldo who has a positive impact, it is true that Ronaldo is very influential because Ronaldo arrival in one of the SPL teams affects the players confidence other europeans to try to join one of the SPL teams.
so that both are mutually beneficial and it is not surprising that Al Nassr facilitates Ronaldo in an extraordinary way. I have even heard that it is rumored that Ronaldo will buy Al Nassr shares because it is only natural that these rumors exist because Al Nassr is very close to Ronaldo.

maybe we don't need to think about whether Al Nassr shares will be sold, but it would be better to think about whether Ronaldo will make Al Nassr his last team before retiring and whether in the long term Ronaldo will still be able to have a positive impact on Al Nassr future?

I think Ronaldo reputation will continue to have a big influence on Al Nassr as long as Ronaldo continues to be a consistent player with scores scored in large numbers, of course in the long term Al Nassr will become more popular and the SPL will also benefit from it all.

[Lannakosa]

There is no doubt things are not unusual but still these are not for all as well because coaching is not all about playing it's also needed good knowledge of game and also work about strategy and players mentality which helps teams to have better results and also give good play in all conditions we have many top athletes those achieve historic successes into their playing career but fail as coaches because they were not able to have things which are important with too many never try in this way because they were sure they will be not able to have success with their skills or strategy.

You can expect some surprises from any player, Ronaldo could also afford not to show up for the Manchester United training camp, because he decided that he did not want to continue playing for this team, this is selfishness and unpredictability, but this is not about legend. Ronaldo can be a good coach if he wishes, he will be very demanding of the players, and it may not be easy to work with him, but this is the choice of each person, if he cannot imagine his life without football, then he can try himself as a coach, or another related activities.

[marcous]

Al Hilal will most likely lock up the SPL trophy this season, and take it home to their glass cupboard. The remaining matches of the second half of the season are 14, where Al Nassr is still 7 points behind Al Hilal. It is very likely that Al Nassr will only be able to finish in runner-up position like last season, which means that in my opinion their priority scale will change. By remaining consistent in the SPL, AL Nassr will also try their best in the Asian Champions League, to end the season with one of the prestigious trophies.

On the other hand, defending champions Al Ittihad seem to be having a very bad season, where they have fallen quite far from their proper position, if you look at the depth of the squad they have built and the budget they have spent. However, Al Ittihad can also maximize its efforts in the Asian Champions League, overall the SPL representatives are the favorite team there.

Ronaldo been a coach? Ofcourse he will do well. Moving to Saudi Arabia, it becomes tougher for most players but in Ronaldo case, there's quite alot that happen but in everything, the player keeps moving higher and higher, there's nothing stopping him from achieving his goals. Only legend perceive their wrongs and chasing top ambition have become a top priority. Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't share the exact same level with his teammates, rather he's keen on becoming one of the best player in the history of football.
