Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Frankolala]

I think the Saudi Arabian league has started reaping from their investment in Cristiano Ronaldo. At least we have a Saudi League thread in bitcointalk. People are now attracted to the Saudi League and they are having the right publicity. But I think all this glamour and hype about Ronaldo would gradually reduce because his performance is going down and the league doesn't have the quality. If the Saudi league organizers fail to put certain modalities that would make the league more desirable, they would lose this attention.

The government of Saudi Arabia needs to invest more in the league. Other clubs must be given the financial backing that would enable them to buy quality players from other parts of the world. If more good players are present in other clubs, the league might become more entertaining. The government should also make policies that would make the country's cultural and religious rules more flexible for footballers and football fans.

When the Saudi Arabians decided to shell out close to $500 million for Ronaldo (half of that for representing Al Nassr and the other half for being a part of the Saudi team that is bidding to host the 2030 world cup), they had two types of goals in mind - first one if short term, and the second one is long term. Short term goals include popularizing the Saudi Professional League around the globe and attracting more viewership and revenues. But the long term goals are more important. They want to improve the quality of football in Saudi Arabia, and make that country one of the top destinations for sporting events. And I guess that $500 million is approximately the right amount to pay, for achieving the second set of goals.

Ronaldo is a really more than a super star with the way the Saudi Arabians came up with such strategy by knowing that if they buy Ronaldo to play in their league,his presence will bring the world's attention to their country. From the first time I heard the news about Ronaldo going to Saudi, I have always thought what are the Suadis up to.

Assuming the government of Saudi Arabians can also look it from this way that it shouldn't be only Ronaldo but some other young stars to be bought into their local league so that it can make it more interesting and easy for them to achieve their long term goal in the nearest future. Soon old age will reduce Ronaldo's performance and less attention will be given to him which might take peoples mindset out of SPL

Ronaldo's real effect could appear in stronger matches, like the match against Al Hilal, who have been dominating the SPL for years, so by then, we will see if he's able to serve the team. Apart from this, I don't think he can compete for the highest scorer in the next season, because his physical status doesn't help him to play every match, and the other teams have high quality strikers. Actually, one of them is Talisca, who scored the only goal of the recent match.

Age really can't lie, that CR7's sharpness is reduced, just look at his kicks several times wide of the goal and that is beyond the expectations of many fans, it looks like CR7 will end his career at AL Nassr

but the big effect that CR7 made on Al Nassr was also extraordinary, the competition with Al Hilal was getting tougher

Age is a problem, that's a fact.  You can't always play football at the highest level.  Now CR7 can prepare to be replaced by CR7 Jr.  Currently, he signed a new contract with Al Nassr and his active football life will continue for 2.5 more years.  Despite everything, Cristiano will continue to be the hero of my dreams.  I wish her back to her best performances.

Age may be having its impact already. But his fanbase will remain loyal to him until he retires from club football. Being a resident of India, I know how popular Ronaldo is among Indian football fans. Along with Messi and Neymar, he is among the most popular players on a global scale. Other European players such as Mbappe, Lukaku and Rushford are having limited acceptance among the non-European fans. That said, Saudis are very serious about their bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. And I believe that this is the main reason why they have brought Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia. With Qatar hosting the 2022 edition, hosting a world cup has become prestige issue for price Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.

Al Nassr are going to play interesting match against one of the top historical Saudi teams, Al Ittihad. This will be the second match of the Saudi Super Cup semi final. The match could open the door for Ronaldo to win his first title with Al Nassr, but that won't be easy, because the competitors (Al Ittihad and possibly Al Hilal) are two of the best Saudi teams. However, the value of a player like Ronaldo should appear in these matches.
the Odds seem to be favoring Al Nassr, although they have a record of four years of draws and losses against Al Ittihad. Indeed, this has to be one of Ronaldo's effects.

[rendravolt]

Tomorrow there is a match between Al-Taee vs Al-Shabab. Currently Al-Shabab is in the top 4 of the SPL, while its opponent AL-Taee is in 9th place in the standings. Statistically the head to head of the two Al-Shabab teams always get a winning result and for sure this will be an easy match for them.

[Popkon6]

Today Al Nasser vs Al Ittihad match is going to be held after some time.  Of these two teams, Al Nasr is the stronger one and those who want to bet can still catch it.  From today's game, we can predict that Al Nasser will win because despite Ronaldo, there are many other stars in Al Nasser's club.  Al Nasr can easily win this game and the joy in the hearts of football lovers can be seen on the field.

And who is the CR7 junior? What you have expressed is so much valid, no matter how C Ronaldo loves football and would want to play it, age is no more on his side. I could see the way he always drilled himself like a youngster, this is because of more practice and agility, but for how long. By age 40 years, he must have added to his weakness through the call of nature, he can't beat that. Perhaps he wants to win another record against Kazuyoshi Miura who still played a relevant match at the age of 53.

indeed LPS is now much discussed by many people, moreover the arrival of world football stars to the league that previously maybe other people did not know much about it, but with the courage of the Al Nassr team to bring Ronaldo to be an attraction for round skin lovers, especially fans ronaldo flocked to support the team where his idol grazes, with ronaldo joining al nassr making the team very confident plus a squad that is strong enough to prove that they are at the top of the standings.

CR 7 junior is Ronaldo's son and that's right Ronaldo's will power and energy is on top but his age is coming infront of his ambitions . He's no doubt a phenomenal footballer and he made great records for his teams and country but now he is aging and this might be the end for his football career as he'll be 40 after 2.5 years .

Much has been speculated about Messi and the team that is offering him a large amount of money, in my personal opinion I would take it more seriously and take on this new challenge, why? because he has already achieved everything that he can achieve with clubs, he has everything, he has achieved with his national team everything that a player can achieve, so here in the world where football is managed thanks to marketing as high as in Europe it is a soccer that is too commercialized and by expereinciaproopia +he must know that he is underestimated as time goes by, so it would be excellent if he tried Saudi soccer, that does not mean that he has to retire from soccer.

so here in the world where football is managed thanks to marketing as high as in Europe it is a soccer that is too commercialized and by expereinciaproopia +he must know that he is underestimated as time goes by, so it would be excellent if he tried Saudi soccer, that does not mean that he has to retire from soccer.

The problem is which team will contract Messi, is that Al Nasr? I don't think they won't do it because they will bear the very high salary burden
Besides that there will be no competition there because it is clear what people expect is Ronaldo vs Messi not Ronaldo and Messi vs other

BTW today Al Nasr was defeated by Al Ittihad in the Sandy Super Cup match final score 3-1 I don't know if Ronaldo is played.

The very mention of that offer from Al Hilal would attract earth shattering condemnation from Paris Saint-Germain fans. Messi is yet to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, so there is a small window of opportunity available for Al Hilal. But in the end, Messi may prefer playing in one of the European leagues. But I would say that Messi should stop worrying about what his critics would say and go for the offer from the Saudi club. Afterall, football is just like any other profession. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him. If he turns it down, then he may not get another opportunity like this ever again.

OMG!!! Could you imagine that I was so blank while asking that question? I did not even think towards that direction. I hope CR7's eldest child would replicate the record of his father and breaks it, time will tell. For now, he's riding on the influence of his dad which I don't see as a level playing ground. Regardless, in case he will prove himself worthy, he might have been playing for under U17 when his fast-ageing father will be retiring.

Cristiano Ronaldo's start at Al-Nassr has been rocky. A 3-1 victory over Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad knocked Cristiano Ronaldo and his club out of the Saudi Super Cup semifinals. In his last two games, he has scored zero goals. The one thing he lacks is the ability to create chances, which is one of the reasons we expect a slow start from him as a striker. It is possible that he will improve over time. However, it has been said he carried the teams by himself. Hopefully, he can repeat it with Al-Nassr, where he plays now.

[Rruchi man]

You are right An Nassr brought Ronaldo to the club at a huge cost not to create miracles and help the club to be able to win matches in the league but rather to bring in money through broadcasts because Ronaldo's fan base is very large and it can bring other things to Arab football, just because he is famous for his sharpness, goals from him will always be eagerly awaited.

Ronaldo is one of the most influential people in the world, he will be in top ten if everyone in the world is asked to mention names of footballers that they know, that's how popular he is. The Saudi Arabian league needed the attention and the media, Ronaldo has the attention of the Media, so getting Ronaldo means getting Media attention. In conclusion Ronaldo is serving the purpose which they got him for as the league now has the attention it wanted.

Al Ittihad has eliminated Al Nassr from the Saudi Super Cup with a 3-1 victory. A very disappointing result for Ronaldo, it would have been his chance to win his first Saudia Arabian trophy and set a new record, but his team just could not. Ending the contract of Aboubakar that carried the team before Ronaldo came is slowly showing to have been a bad decision. Unfortunately at this point in Ronaldo's career, you cannot always depend on him to score goals.

[KupaCrypto]

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr have been eliminated from the Saudi Pro League cup and media is already blaming the defeat on Cristiano Ronaldo, I believe a play like Cristiano Ronaldo gets the credit when the team wins and gets the blame when the teams looses,
Tho his performance was criticized as many thinks his performance was not up to good enough, Al Nassr still holding a point advantage over their closest rival on the table will look to bounce back to winning ways, when they play again this weekend in the league.

[Polkeins]

so here in the world where football is managed thanks to marketing as high as in Europe it is a soccer that is too commercialized and by expereinciaproopia +he must know that he is underestimated as time goes by, so it would be excellent if he tried Saudi soccer, that does not mean that he has to retire from soccer.

BTW today Al Nasr was defeated by Al Ittihad in the Sandy Super Cup match final score 3-1 I don't know if Ronaldo is played.

Ronaldo played the whole match, but apparently it did not help. According to statistics, he has a lot of mistakes and a lot of losses. In general, Ronaldo is playing poorly so far. I hope that at least on the shirts and symbols the club will be able to recover at least part of the cost of the contract with Ronaldo, because the Portuguese player lately has been very bad with implementation and it is clear why he has not been able to play in Europe. Probably besides the age the character also gives itself and without the past realization Ronaldo will be very difficult in the future.

Today Al Nasser vs Al Ittihad match is going to be held after some time.  Of these two teams, Al Nasr is the stronger one and those who want to bet can still catch it.  From today's game, we can predict that Al Nasser will win because despite Ronaldo, there are many other stars in Al Nasser's club.  Al Nasr can easily win this game and the joy in the hearts of football lovers can be seen on the field.

I don't think Al Nassr is stronger than their opponent later because even though Al Ittihad is in position 3 but the difference in points is not much, you can see that Al Ittihad have only lost once like Al Nassr, and other stars apart from Ronaldo who are in Al Nassr are not guaranteed victory because it is possible that facts like this will give Al Ittihad more motivation to win, especially they have the opportunity to replace Al Nassr's position at the top, if Al Nassr loses, I'm wait  what the media will report because sometimes their reports not objective.

I said it before the match, the odds favored Al Nassr because of Ronaldo, although the last four-year record indicated that Al Ittihad have higher chance to win, so it was a good selection to bet on Al Ittihad for risk takers. Anyways, Ronaldo has failed in his first test in my opinion. The title they were competing for is an important one in Saudi Arabia.

the Odds seem to be favoring Al Nassr, although they have a record of four years of draws and losses against Al Ittihad. Indeed, this has to be one of Ronaldo's effects.

[Xxmodded]

Cristiano Ronaldo still not bring positive impact for his new team  Al Nassr after eliminating from Saudi Arabia super Cup from Al Ittihad, have twice appearance with Al Nassr at official matches but Cristiano Ronaldo difficult how to make his first goals. But seems little funny last friendly match against PSG he was success scored two goals.

I don't know about Al Nassr fans, keep expectation and waiting until Cristiano Ronaldo back to the top performance or they will disappointed with how much salary spent every years to see Ronaldo failure without any goals contribution on official matches.
