Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Obari]

Seeing how well Cristiano Ronaldo has been doing even at age 42 I can say that it is safe to place your bet on him to be the top scorer again in the Saudi Pro league especially now that he has a target to meet. He wants to complete his goal scoring record to 1000 to he will want to score at every given opportunity next season.

Ronaldo reaching his milestone of 1000 goals will forever remain a misery in the history of football. He's engaged in more enchancing fitting physique activities to keep himself active, knowing what he needs and will prioritize on achieving them with no stress. Ronaldo is very active much more than the current players if we do the math. He's banging goals as if he's in his early 20s and have been a key part in the developing phase of Al Nassr. With Cristiano Ronaldo around, there's more the club can accomplish, they need to be determined and ready for the big games because winnings is very necessary and important. Ronaldo is different breed, knowing what to do at the appropriate time and will always come out checking the big stage with stellar performance, full concentration.

Don't forget also about the issue that SPL entered the top 5 big leagues because of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I'm sorry but where are you get this info from? Saying that the SPL is among the 5 best leagues in the world makes no sense: the 5 are clearly English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and French Ligue 1. Then we have leagues from Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Argentina and many others. Just because Ronaldo and a bunch of old players moved to Saudi Arabia doesn't mean that the league is one of the bests in the world, especially because the majority of these players move to 3-4 teams.

This is part of the argument that i will never get into, I don’t care if Saudi Pro league is among the top leagues, some people says because Ronaldo said it before that is why many people think Saudi Pro League is one of the top leagues, some people find it difficult to understand a word, Ronaldo said it in an interview that he believes one day Saudi Pro League will be one of the top Leagues, we see the performance of Al Hilal in the Club World Cup and how they play against Real Madrid and also how they eliminate Manchester City from the tournament.

Many players from Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and other leagues are going to Saudi doesn’t mean the league has become one of the best leagues, we see many players going to MLS instead of Saudi Arabia and it’s all their choice, we should not be talking about the best leagues because sometimes the clubs we call best got defeated by some teams we don’t expect them to win.

Cristiano's got ppl talking about SPL we didn't talk about it before he played for Al Nassr. We knew about MLS before Messi went to Inter Miami because Beckham & other players went there. Which league's more exciting MLS or SPL ?

If I'd asked this question a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have hesitated to answer MLS. But honestly, I think the excitement is almost the same. However, I'm currently talking more about the Saudi Pro League. And after Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al-Nassr, I even became quite active following several matches every week while the season was still ongoing. In fact, I'm now more closely following everything about the Saudi Pro League, including their movements in the transfer market and such. So, I think the excitement is almost the same, but for the sheer interest in following, I prefer the SPL at the moment. I think with more and more star European players coming here, the competition is getting fiercer each season. I initially only followed Al-Nassr, but last season I started to like the other teams as well.

[arabspaceship123]

Before Cristiano went to SPL ppl would say MLS is exciting but it's changed. A few years ago ppl outside Arab countries didn't know about SPL today it's famous because Cristiano signed for Al Nassr & ppl talk about SPL more than MLS.

As many have said, preseason results aren't a true measure of a team's strength in the real season. However, I observed Al-Nassr's preseason match and found several key points from today's match.

First, Cristiano Ronaldo, even though he's over 40, still showed incredible sharpness, scoring a hat trick in that match.
And second, I saw Joao Felix playing as if he's been with the team for a long time. He's really adapted quickly and understands Al-Nassr's game plan well. He's also able to collaborate very well with all his teammates, especially Cristiano Ronaldo. I think Al-Nassr's attack has really improved compared to last season. And their defense also looks a bit better. Jorge Jesus really seems to be able to fix the problems or weaknesses in this team.

[Roseline492]

Definitely this growth was a collective efforts because is not handwork of an ordinary person so actually the government play an important role on it in making sure they bring the Saudi Arabian league we are seeing today, with the look of things this might only be the beginning of this league growth because I'm seeing many more massive growth to come for them and this will help the little ones who will be considering soccer as there only career, actually with a good system of football even those who has never thought of playing will reconsider there decisions so actually this is a great change for the league and the country at large.

They are spending way too much money to make this work, and they are doing this to "whitewash" their look towards the world. Remember, this is a kingdom, where the king has the free will, and everyone else must follow whatever he says. Democracy doesn't exist, and because of this the whole world is seeing this to be a complicated issue.

Although I'm aware they spent a lot of money in doing all this things but however I can't say they are spending way too much because is there money and we no that this country has a lot of money and even as they are developing this way with all the money that is going inside there sports it doesn't affect there economy so that's to say that we might be thinking otherwise when actually to them is nothing and besides you could actually think about this in what it could impact in there country, they're creating a legacy for there children were they would be known as a football nation.

Agreed. This is just a warmup match, and that too against a little known club from Portugal. Rio Ave Futebol Clube maybe a big name in Vila do Conde, but I don't think that many people have heard about them outside their country. Al Nassr has a revamped and refurbished look for this season, and let's hope that it will do the trick for them. But in case their performance is not up to the mark, then Ronaldo will have to bear most of the blame. Al Nassr management made a lot of changes to the team as per his request.

Before Saudi Pro League turning into global MLS was having some attraction but sadly American domestic sports never allow MLS to have success like it's getting from many other countries despite having huge market.

Saudi League organizers done good job and have success which give them good intention from around the world, and now they are turning into one of the most attractive soccer leagues around the globe. Even both leagues are having same level quality and performance but still Saudi League is had more talked and fan base which giving him good success money is also working for them which inviting many big names for joining and having their best for this league, but Ronaldo is still one of the huge impact in this league.

The performance in this match proves that Al-Nassr will perform well in the upcoming season. The team that Al-Nassr won against may not have been a big opponent for Al-Nassr, but if we discuss the performance of each player in the match, then of course, each player's performance has to be praised. João Félix has come to Al-Nassr and he has adapted to the players so quickly. Maybe João Félix and Cristiano Ronaldo will attack well together in the upcoming matches and Ronaldo may score more goals than before. It was really nice to see Cristiano Ronaldo score a hat-trick after a long time at the age of 40 and I hope that Ronaldo can maintain this performance even though the main part of the season has started.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very old but his performances are unbelievable but he surely is weaker and worse than himself many years ago. It's realistic to stop all expectation that he can perform well like five years ago or longer in the past. He is simply focusing on his job for the team and individual targets while ignoring unnecessary criticisms.

A common criticism is he scored many goals from penalties but let's see how Mane wasted a penalty when Cristiano Ronaldo gave that opportunity to Mane. Taking a penalty is not easy with many players and Cristiano Ronaldo scored many goals from this spot and receive disrespect in very unfairly way.

When it comes to taking of penalties Ronaldo is one player that has been consistent with scoring at his age it's important that Ronaldo should concentrate on contributing to the general teams success because he doesn't has age and energy so he should not be focused too much on scoring goals but should pass the ball often so that others too can score because Ronaldo is one player that is stingy with the ball

Ronaldo is being paid $200 millions/year, what is he supposed to say? Of course he's going to say that the Saudi league is going to be one of the best in the world, the main reason they brought him there is because they need advertisement, and Ronaldo is one of the famous players in the world.

His game seems different when he plays for the Portuguese national team. He creates space and is able to provide opportunities for his teammates. But we can't blame him, he has the mindset of a striker whose focus is to score goals. However, he does need to adjust to team cooperation to maximize the chances they get. Perhaps in doing so, they can compete in terms of goal productivity and also in the competition to win trophies.

I think friendly matches can determine their true strength because through these matches, we can find out the points in which they are stronger. Similarly in a pre-season friendly match, Al Nassr Football Club amply highlighted the points of their strength growth for the next season because it is perhaps right that through that match, their team manager will be able to have complete dependent in them. Moreover Ronaldo is getting older but his performance is unbelievable because we saw in that match that he scored three goals for the first time in a friendly match of the upcoming season even his other teammates helped him along even based on everyone's understanding, it is proven that Al Nassr's attack has improved compared to last season.

He wants to complete his goal scoring record to 1000 to he will want to score at every given opportunity next season.

I think there is not anything which is not chased by Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the personality in the football world with all the records and titles a football player could have. But now Cristiano Ronaldo is on the stage of life where he is going to embarrass his most awaited goal. He is going to complete his 1000 goal task and this is the biggest achievement by him.  And this is not only the achievement for him but at the same time i think this will be a goal for the left of the world . Everyone who is playing or who will be playing this is the goal for them which helps them to keep motivated towards the bestest from the best. So , now the contributions of Cristiano Ronaldo for the Al-Nassr and for the Saudi pro league will be enhanced. And Ronaldo 's personality will always be remembered in this field as the best of the decades.

A good and experienced agent is very important. An agent like Jorge Mendes can package an average player and make him attractive to top clubs. I guess that is the case of João Félix. He has always been an average player, but his agent has been able to link him to other top clubs in Europe.

His move to Saudi Arabia should be a turning point in his career since he is still young and has the opportunity to improve. Maybe playing under Stefano Pioli in Al Nassr might help him improve.

To be honest, I've never thought he was a good player, but he has the opportunity to learn everything he can from CR7 What I think is that joao félix lacks is more security in his game, in his style, He doesn't explode as he should, he hasn't yet reached his full potential, but it's never too late, I hope Al Nassr can help him with this, The truth is that Portugal also needs young players who are good.

I think there is not anything which is not chased by Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the personality in the football world with all the records and titles a football player could have.

And Ronaldo 's personality will always be remembered in this field as the best of the decades.

I know that when he reaches 1000 goals CR7 will establish himself as he is, this is worth mentioning that it causes a lot of envy for many, but those who are envious are fools in the end, they should feel proud that they are seeing one of the best times in world football and take advantage of every time CR7 plays, for me no one has equaled him, no player has that vocation to play with desire, they all do it for money or to be famous, but the passion that CR7 has is what is most noticeable in him.

[Out of mind]

Cristiano's got ppl talking about SPL we didn't talk about it before he played for Al Nassr. We knew about MLS before Messi went to Inter Miami because Beckham & other players went there. Which league's more exciting MLS or SPL ?

I think when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the SPL, it gradually gained more popularity. Also when Messi joined the MLS we learned about Inter Miami, since they are two legendary players, so when they went there we got to know these leagues. But I think now that the SPL has good players like Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané, Neymar Jr. when stars like them have entered it it has become more exciting. Anyway, I think the SPL is a more competitive league compared to the MLS at the moment in my opinion.

[el kaka22]

Spending a lot of money, isn't really that bad, it's something that we have to learn to live with. It's something that will not bother me, it's something that will be normal for a league that wants more attention. While it's true that they are not getting what they desire, they want more, it's still fine that they are getting something. So that's the most important part, if they are getting what they want out of this, then they are ok with spending.

So far, they got huge marketing and that's what that matters, nothing else matters in this case. We should be considering how to get better results from what we spend our money on, that's how it works and they do. If this PR goes on some more, like even after Ronaldo leaves, then they are going to be fine.

Actually, this was evident from the start. Al Nassr dominated the game from the very beginning, especially after Mohamed Simakan scored the opening goal in the 15th minute. The subsequent goals were scored by the superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Honestly, this was an emotional match, considering his age, Cristiano still put on a stunning performance with his extraordinary execution, even managing to score three goals in a single match, the best player in football today.
