Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Warkop]

Three matches in a row Al-Nassr always won big by scoring more than 3 goals and this was in stark contrast to the two matches at the start of the season where they were only able to score 1 goal. Could it be that now the depth of the squad owned by Al-Nassr has begun to be evenly distributed and in fact they only conceded 1 goal in three matches.

What's contributing to this high numbers of goals by the Al Nassr side is because they have many goal scorers on their squad and not just Ronaldo. When the team is playing well, atleast 3 players will get on the score board like Ronaldo, Sadio mane and  one other player also sometimes they both get more than one goals. Al Nassr is playing good football so they'll be scoring often and the more they score they more they get hungry to score more. Ronaldo has options to score more than one goal in the last game just as he has the chance to score a hat trick in the last two games but gave it up, he also decided to proven an assist which goes to show he's playing for the team and not just himself.

We certainly also know that Ronaldo is known for his selfishness to always score goals but sometimes he can get rid of that and focus more on winning the team. What he's done so far has been pretty good and it's helped the team win by a big score and it's not just about chasing records. On the other hand, if Al-Nassr continues to be consistent like this then their victory will be much more guaranteed and I hope Ronaldo can lower his selfishness like in the previous match because he is no longer young like before, who always had amazing finishing when in the opponent's defensive area.

Yes, of course everyone knows about Ronaldo's selfishness when he was still playing in Europe. Maybe he knows and sees the situation of European and Asian matches very differently, therefore he tends to get rid of or reduce his selfishness and rely more on teamwork to score goals. I think this is very positive because a solid and collaborative team tends to be more successful than just depending on one player who takes advantage of his selfishness. May he continue to adapt to this change and continue to make meaningful contributions with Al-Nassr. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr also deserves praise for his consistency in winning. Hopefully they can continue their good performance and achieve greater success in the future.

I guess nobody could ever expect to see Al Fateh winning the game against Al Ahli in the game today after all the money Al Ahli spent this summer and the players they bought, however, it's too soon to judge Al Ahli and the players they bought because we know these players need some time. but personally, I could never predict this result.
 
 

It was a very disastrous and very embarrassing defeat, any team that suffers a big defeat like this will experience a mental downturn, Moreover, Al-Ahli is making a huge investment to build his club to become one of the strongest in this league. This season they have spent almost 200 million euros and that is in stark contrast to previous seasons where they only spent a few million euros to buy players.
Some of the matches at the start of the season looked very impressive but this defeat will damage the mentality of the players a little, especially if they are not strong enough to accept criticism for the defeat.

Al Nassr are still at the bottom of the points' table after losing two matches at the start of the season. But their next matches, played well and won. Yesterday's match was a thrilling 5-1 win against Al Nasser Al Hazem. Al Nassr players in particular were in top form and many scored goals in the match. Al Nassr have won this match and are at number 6 in the points table, but they need to win their next matches to progress. However, if Sadio Mané and Ronaldo are present in the next matches, Al Nassr will definitely win the match.

Two defeats at the start of the season made it a little difficult for them to improve their position so far, but there are still many matches left and anything can happen, including Al Taawon, who is now in second place, dropping in ranking, and when strong teams face each other, the standings will change. as happened when Al Ittihad lost to Al Hilal.

There are 2 ways to build a great club the first as you said through the academy prepares young talent the 2nd way is to use the power of money Real Madrid is an example of success in using money, n this case the Saudi League wants to use an instant method. But that's not what I mean, what they do is not solely for the success of the club but wants to attract world attention then they will offer business and that business will not come from football but from other sides such as property and tourism.

Why through football? because that's the fastest way. If you think they really want to build a great club then bringing in old players is not the right way we know they can only play for the next 2-5 years after that they will retire, compare with elite clubs in Europe none of them used this method so in my opinion their target is only for promotion in other sectors.

They built this business on the power of money and yes it will pay off quickly to grow revenue for the big teams at SPL. However, their financial aspect must always be strong in every season because if there is a setback in recruiting top European players then it will have a bad impact on their business in the coming season.

Several SPL teams continue to recruit players in this transfer window because they still have a lot of time in the transfer window before it closes on September 20. The name of the top player that is often linked at the moment is Salah with Ittihad where they continue to try hard to persuade Salah even though Liverpool have rejected their first offer.

[len01]

I'm dizzy with the Saudi Arabian teams. They are in turmoil during the transfer season and are taking away a lot of players from European clubs. With trends in the next few years. Are European football teams still strong? When the Saudi Arabian National Championship continuously recruited stars from European teams. Do they have enough money to do it? Will their league surpass the top European leagues? Too many questions about them.

this effort really creates pros and cons between the european league and the SPL when large transfers are made to get european players to increase the development of football in the SPL so that it is known as one of the biggest football games in the world after Europe. I know for sure that there will be a lot of people who will disagree with the steps taken by Saudi Arabia, but nevertheless this is mutually beneficial when players who are not well respected in Europe can still be used in Saudi Arabia to take their star names, for example, like Neymar, who is almost old and has an injury that hasn't healed yet, but Saudi Arabia wants to buy it, while in Europe its very rare that other teams want to buy it, and I think that almost all of the players who were successfully recruited by the Saudi arabian team are over 30 years old, which means their performance is not very stable in Europe.
and what I know is that the European football league will always be known as big league in the world because it has been around for a long time with performance of the players in it who are really reliable and built from the team itself and Saudi Arabia instead of getting old players from Europe but just like buying the name of the star player.

I fully support @hd49728 statement that Saudi Arabia should, from now on, have an academy to recruit new players with the talent developed at the academy so it does not rely too much on players from Europe and also with this Saudi Arabia can also get reliable players from its own academy

Firstly, these are utopian plans, and secondly, they are too long-term - for the academies to give some kind of result, it will probably take about 10 years. The population of Saudi Arabia is 34 million people, the third of which are labor migrants, it is obvious that if the Saudis want to strive for the level of the top leagues, they must focus on external sources of players.

Despite having players like Sadio Mané and Ronaldo in the team, Al Nassr's position at the moment is number 6 in the points table. Al Nassr, who won the Arab Cup last season, could have been in a better position this season but they failed to get off to a good start. The first five matches have already been played by each team while Al Nassr have lost two maps in the first five months due to which they are not in a good position in the points table at the moment. As Al Nassr is one of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia, the expectation is that Al Nassr will be at the top of the points table.

Wait a minute, I want to make sure, which Arab cup you are referring to was won by Al Nassr last season. please tell me, maybe I have missed something. and as far as I know, the Kings Cup was won by Al Hilal and the Saudi Pro League trophy was won by Al Ittihad. well, if we refer to the first two matches of Al Nassr's campaign at the start of this competition. against Al Ettifaq, Luis Carlo only played Sadio Mane as a center forward. the rest is filled by local players.
I don't really know whether Luis Carlo didn't take into account his opponent, who incidentally was Al Ettifaq, who was commanded by Steven Gerrard. Or, the coach's focus is on the Arab Club Champions Cup. So, after winning the match the main players were given the opportunity to relax. Unfortunately, Al Nassr had to lose in the initial match at Al Ettifaq headquarters.

In the next match, it turned out that Al Taawoun put up resistance even though Luis Carlo's squad dominated the match. In the end, Al Nassr lost the first two matches this season. In the next match, Al Nassr was able to sweep to victory with a landslide score. It seems that communication and bonds between players are starting to get better. next, this team should be even more solid with a very competitive squad. In theory, Al Nassr should be able to defeat his opponents in match after match. so, gradually they will be good to rank four in the standings.
But the problem is, there are other strong teams. in particular, Al Ittihad and Al hilal and Al-Ahli is no exception. if Al Nassr is able to overthrow its competitors, they will easily become the top of the standings. but certainly, it is not easy. At the top of the standings is Al Hilal, this team is one of Al Nassr's toughest rivals. so, Al Nassr's journey in the struggle for the trophy this season is not as easy as you might expect.

Yannick Carrasco has arrived in Saudi Arabia and will soon be introduced as a new Al-Shabab player. It seems that the negotiations between Al-Shabab and Atletico Madrid are going quite smoothly and this is the first European signing for Al-Shabab this season. In the near future Yannick Carrasco will also undergo a medical test before the official announcement and his contract will last 3 years. The costs incurred by Al-Shabab were also not too expensive, around 15 million euros for Atletico Madrid. After previously having an adventure in the Chinese league, now a new adventure awaits Yannick Carrasco in the Saudi league which has become a trend for other European players.

After previously having an adventure in the Chinese league, now a new adventure awaits Yannick Carrasco in the Saudi league which has become a trend for other European players.

At age 30 I expect him to be playing in one of the top leagues in Europe, he's a very fine player and it was sad to see him move over to Chinese league last season because of money, but atleast he's made a good decision this season by coming out of the deadleague to a better one where we'll be heard on in the news and I believe that with the experience he's got while playing for Athletico Madrid it won't be difficult blending into the Saudi side.
 Yannick Carrasco would make a fine upgrade to his new team and I think he might not be the only player that would join Al-Shabab if you noticed they suffered a great lose against Al-Nassr so they'll definitely need more upgrade to strengthen them and that's what's trending in all Saudi clubs currently and since their transfer window is still open till month end they've got lots of time to lure more players into their team.

However, if Sadio Mané and Ronaldo are present in the next matches, Al Nassr will definitely win the match.

Even though I've been watching Al Nassr for a while, I didn't see this coming at all. Good for them. But, in my (slightly crazy) view, we shouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves. Starting the season with two losses and then making a big comeback with a win? It sounds a little bit random, don't you think? Now, this is where my mind starts to spin. Even though they have Ronaldo and Mané, they are only ranked sixth. Shouldn't they be doing something, like clearing the table? I mean, really. With those big names, I'd think they'd be in the running for the title right away

Despite having players like Sadio Mané and Ronaldo in the team, Al Nassr's position at the moment is number 6 in the points table. Al Nassr, who won the Arab Cup last season, could have been in a better position this season but they failed to get off to a good start.

As Al Nassr is one of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia, the expectation is that Al Nassr will be at the top of the points table.

The simple reason is that they screwed it up in the first two games. This is no news as obviously they would be in a lower position because of those two losses.

But I think that they have had a full recovery given that they have been scoring lots of goals and were the dominant team in all those games. Mane and Ronaldo also work together very well. In SPL terms, the duo Mane + Ronaldo could be the one that will cause the sensation the league is hoping for.

The country has enough money that they can use to pay foreigners and get the firm,instead of building a football academy. Maybe in the long run,they can build one but this is not what they want presently as they want all eyes to be focused on their league. They are trying to use football to draw more attention to Saudi Arabia.

But indeed if Saudi Arabia wants to have a better generation of football at this time the right moment, where on their land there are many star players who compete every week, this will be an attraction for the younger generation who begin to develop, of course the making of the academy will accommodate The interest of today's generation football is echoing in Arab land, even though the population is not so much.

The problem of time will definitely take quite a long time in the development of this academy, so for now it is still very much needed by outside players to increase their league popularity.

Saudi Arabia has enough money to accomplish their plans in a very short time and who said that money doesn’t buy you anything is wrong, We all know that investing in football academies is what build a good generation of talented players but this plan is a long term project and requires not only money and time but young kids to love football and for example if you build these academies in Japan or in Brazil we certainly won’t see the same results after years to come. So I believe what Saudi Arabia is doing now also not just a matter of signing players without both long and short term plan.
They intend to make their professional League and take it to the top ten leagues in the world not just for a season or two but all the next years to come with a great hope of making their population love football and fill their stadiums, it’s a one thing we noticed that before all these stars join their league we see that not many were interested in watching matches, now it’s the opposite and their stadiums are filled almost on every match.

Even if you think that Saudi Arabia has no long and short plans about what they do so far in my opinion is that it does not mean there will be no, they must see the situation and response from the community about football, as you said that the response shown by Arab society in general is very interested and supports football very well, so the long -term and close plan will grow itself after seeing the phenomenon that occurred in the past year.

And I think this is just the beginning, if in this season after many European star players enter the Arab league and shift the crew of the world sports media pay attention to every match that is held in the Arab League, this will lead to new enthusiasm and optimism in the future of the Saudi Arabian league to become Very developed, infrastructure development will be more complete, including their own soccer academy, they will definitely make it with a better version because they have enough money.

Yes building an academy will take a very long time to enjoy the results and it should be done, I think they can do it from now on. They don't need to stop chasing European players, but at the same time they need to start investing in their academy. This in my opinion is a good choice, on the one hand they will be lifted by the number of European players coming in, on the other hand they are doing something valuable for the future, by building their own academy. Nothing is impossible if they want and intend to do it, especially with the money they have.

Al Ettifaq FC has officially obtained the services of Georginio Wijnaldum, they contracted him for 3 years and will play with Jordan Henderson at there. Steven Gerrard got other player from Europa and will help him in this league, also as a former Liverpool player I think Wijnaldum will not have any trouble in terms of adaptation. As a Central Midfield for the Netherlands national team, Georginio Wijnaldum will strengthen the depth of Ettifaq Fc squad.

That's still good news but unfortunately, I think Al Ettifaq still has no chance of getting into the title race. Although indeed, Al Ettifaq has a great head coach like Gerrard and also, Al Ettifaq has senior midfielders like Henderson and also Wijnaldum. But the fact is, rival teams like Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli have more senior players and great players in their squad. Therefore, with Wijnaldum joining the Al Ettifaq squad, I think it will still be difficult for Al Ettifaq to become part of the title candidate team the season. But, at least Al Ettifaq has a good effort too and maybe, slowly Al Ettifaq will have a good dominance too later in this Saudi Pro League. Who know

The name of the top player that is often linked at the moment is Salah with Ittihad where they continue to try hard to persuade Salah even though Liverpool have rejected their first offer.

They must have considered it so there are no worries about money what is clear is that every season they will evaluate it, to be honest I'm not sure they make a profit I'm sure their expenses are greater than their income.By the way September 20 is the transfer window schedule for the Saudi Pro League while for the European League the latest is September 2, so there is no way for Salah move to the Saudi League this season because the transfer schedule for the Premier League is over the only chance for Mo salah is in the mid-season next January-February 2024.

Apart from that I'm not so sure Liverpool are selling Mo Salah this season unless it makes sense for next season so Liverpool have time to find a replacement. I heard rumors that if this transfer happens it will be a new record in the Saudi Pro League.

That's right, the move of European star players to the Saudi Arabian League certainly opens up opportunities for young players to show off their skills at their respective clubs because Saudi Arabian football is increasingly in the world spotlight. And the enthusiasm of the young generation of Saudi Arabia will continue to increase, because so far Saudi Arabian football has seen its development even before its star players arrived in the SPL, this was seen when Saudi Arabia appeared in the world cup last year.

The problem of time will definitely take quite a long time in the development of this academy, so for now it is still very much needed by outside players to increase their league popularity.

Of course this process requires a lot of time, it takes a long time and is consistently consistent to make the SPL league into the world's top five, including in building an academy that will produce star players. In essence, Saudi Arabia's progress in making football popular has started to reap results, just a small example, they have been successful in terms of TV broadcasting rights.

[Volgastallion]

So we keep seeing more and more top players flowing into this league, well right now i want to see the next world cup of teams to see how good games we can see between europeans teams and the asian/arabs one. Its gonna be really interesting.

About Yannick Carrasco..... again this man going into wild places.

[Slow death]

the league games ended and we had results that left me very surprised, such as the case of al - hilal beating al - lttihad in a game in which al - lttihad was seen as the favorite for me, although al - hilal had a good team and a good coach, I still didn't see them as being a very strong team capable of beating al - lttihad, but on the field things were different, even when al - lttihad scored the first goal four minutes later al - hilal also scored the equalizer showing that the game would be very balanced and they were there playing to win and with this very important victory al - hilal was at the top of the table and with that it came to show that this season they are fighting to win the league

another game was the Al Nassr game that beat Al Hazm, well in this game I saw Al Nassr as the favorite to win the game, but I didn't expect them to score 5 goals in this game, it was a game in which Al Nassr crushed his opponent and with that they managed to climb a few places in the table and are in position 6, but it will be very difficult for them to become champions this season too, because unlike last season, this season they have strong opponents who kept hiring. many foreign players

Al - Ahli against Al Fateh, this game had a result that left me surprised, on paper and taking into consideration the Al - Ahli squad I saw them as the best team and the favorite to win this game, but what was seen inside Campor was a disaster, even with a much superior squad, Al - Ahli lost and conceded 5 goals, something interesting in this game and they had 3 penalties against Al - Ahli and a red card, it was a humiliating result, I don't know how it is possible a team commits 3 penalties in a game, but that's what happened in this game
