That’s the problem when multiple teams are owned by the same company or individual—whatever they do seems designed to benefit one side.
For example, when Ronaldo protested against the club owner’s apparent favoritism toward another club under the same ownership. And now, some people view Benzema’s transfer as controversial as well.
This is a common issue for many clubs, such as Girona and Manchester City, which also share the same owner. Manchester City is seen as being overly favored, even though there are valid reasons behind it.
At least in case of Girona and Man City, these clubs are playing in different leagues (Manchester City plays in the English Premier League, while Girona FC takes part in the La Liga). But that is not the case with the four teams that are owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). In their case, four clubs in the same league has the same owner (Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli). And Ronaldo's complaint was that player requests from Al Nassr were being constantly rejected, while such requests from Al Hilal were getting approved in very little time.
Yes,, that's right, in the case of Girona and Manchester City, it's better because they're in different leagues. So, in essence, it seems more logical if Manchester City is prioritized, because Manchester City is clearly their main team and the best. But in the case of publicly owned teams, I think if they're unfair, it's clearly not good. Basically, all their teams play in the same league, and if the team owner is unfair to one of the teams, it's clearly very detrimental. Therefore, the case of the Saudi Arabian League regarding publicly owned teams clearly needs to be corrected immediately.
Basically, if incidents like this continue in the future, it will clearly damage the Saudi Arabian League's image. Basically, if this continues, the Saudi Arabian League is clearly open to manipulation. Therefore, I hope controversial incidents like this won't happen again in the future. Because basically the Saudi Arabian league is currently watched by many eyes in the world, so basically they must be able to maintain the image of their country's football league well.
