Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Neymar starts to disgrace himself again  
Firstly, Al-Hilal only played a draw at home with a weak opponent in the first game of the Asian Champions League. And secondly, Neymar did not particularly distinguish himself in the game except that he received a yellow card, and in any European country he would have received a straight red card and would have received an additional disqualification for aggressive behavior.

Can anyone explain to me how this was not punished with a red card?
https://t.me/videos_sportsru/38

Lol, that was definitely a red card if I have ever seen one. Just the push itself could be yellow I agree to that, it happens all the time, whenever you are about to take a freekick, if the other player stays too close, there is some pushing around happening that's not really that much of a big deal, but then the kick the ball to the opposition thingy? That's a straight red card without a doubt.

Ref could defend himself by saying Neymar tried to pass and the player was just there so it hit him, like say it wasn't intentional, which would be yellow card, but we all know that it was intentional and should have been a red card without a doubt. He hasn't been good for many years now, and I do not expect much from him to be fair.

Yes, based on the totality of actions, this is a direct red card + disqualification. To be honest, I am very surprised that this happened in the Asian Champions League - it would be one thing if it were inside the Saudi League, then it would be an internal problem for the Saudis (and it is clear that they are interested in Neymar playing as much as possible for the sake of promoting the League). Yes, it would be disrespectful towards other players, but I can “understand” it rationally. But this happened in an international competition and I believe that this diminishes the prestige of the tournament when there is such “special” judging to the stars.

The arrival of Mane became a new force and he has made a considerable contribution. In fact he was able to make 6 goals in 6 matches. Productivity is great. He is also in the list of 2nd top scorers. In addition, An Nassr's performance is also not bad, the improvement of the game is obviously very different from last season. So the current coach only needs to maintain the consistency of the players. If it succeeds then the chances for the champion are huge.

Mane has great speed, good dribbling, and accuracy in shooting. So, it is not very surprising if he can adapt well with Al Nassr players. Moreover, Ronaldo makes him to play optimally as the wingers. Duo Ronaldo-Mane looks quite effective for Al Nassr attacking, both of them can be on the list of top scorer SPL now. But it is quite unfortunate that they missed points in the first 2 matches. If they didn't make mistakes in the first 2 matches, they must be in the top position (1st place) of SPL now. Well, there are still many matches left, they still have a chance to be the champion if they can maintain the good performance until the end of the season.

Therefore, although Ronaldo and Mane are still very productive at this moment, but they still cannot guarantee the Saudi Professional League title for Al Nassr. But maybe, because the league is also still long, so there is still plenty of time for them to really be able to bring Al Nassr to get the title this season.

It is because they missed 6 points in the early of the season. If they could make a better start, they must be in the first place now. However, it is true that the season is still far from the end. We are still at the beginning of the season. So, Al Nassr has a lot of time to compete for the title.

I think Neymar didn't show any sign of professionalism in his behavior on the game, this should have been a straight red card and a few match ban given to him for showing such aggressive character on a fellow player who did nothing to him. May be they didn't disqualify him because of name or may be his actions will be looked on later on to know what actually happened between him and the player that made him so angry as seen on the video. If it is because of the draw that his team played with the weaker team I think is time for him to man up and accept the outcome of the results of some matches knowing that football is not a do or die affair. I hope he gets punished for his unruly behavior other wise fans will not mind to start chanting his name when next he plays for his team and that will be a very bad thing for him.

Neymar Jr can be entertaining some times, with his dribbling skills and spectacular body movements and footings on the ball. I don't blamed the player for his actions, because this is not the first time he has argue on pitch, he often does that in Barca, PSG and now in Al Hilal. He won't change because it has become his lifestyle towards his opponents, especially when he's contributing zero progress on his side. We know how aggressive Neymar Jr can turned out to be on the pitch, he's popular known for using abusive languages towards his opponents, he mostly been issued cards because he lacks self control during games.

Neymar is not an old palyer and I think he is not even close to ending his career in the Saudi League or other teams in Europe, but this player was injured for a long time and that's why he had to accept the offer from this League, in fact, if Neymar was not injured he could even continue playing in PSG or other similar teams.
I think time after time when he completely gets recorded he can have an even better performance in Al Hilal and because of the weak defenses in this league, he can easily use his dribbling skills successfully.

I know player career span nowadays is longer than in the past because they have better health care, nutritious care and more professional with their habits. However, it's untrue to say Neymar is not an old player. He already passed his 30 years old and after 30 age, players will need more time for recovery, more sensitive with injuries. Neymar is actually jumping into a new chapter of his career, only one more chapter before ending one, he is old already.

Neymar does not have professionality like Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Lionel Messi and he likes parties. I don't expect Neymar to prolong his career like those aforementioned players and moving to Saudi Professional League will allow him more chances to enjoy parties that will make his career shorter.

Neymar Jr is vulnerable to injuries, and it has really impacted a negative changed on his football career. One of the reasons PSG released him was because he's not always available foe the big games, missing out and try returning, 5 - 6 games, he initially picks up an injury again and we know how critical and lengthy it could be. Making him to be out of the team for months, only watching them from the supporters. Perhaps this is his new team, Al Hilal do respects him a lot because he deserves every single good thing in the club, why? Because he's a top player in Europe and also the best player in Brazil national team.

@borobichok while Neymar has suffered lots of injuries he’s yet an talented player and he yet needs time to adjust to the Saudi league and once he does I’m sure that he’ll come good and repay the amount invested in him. Lastly I hope that he doesn’t let his personal life distract him because it seems that he’s caught cheating once again and since he’s out injured let’s hope that he can sort his personal life and come back stronger.

In terms of quality, Neymar is a very good player, but it cannot be denied that the life of a football player is quite influential for them to be able to maintain their performance, like other top Brazilian players in the past who had their careers faded at a productive age due to an unhealthy life, it seems that now Neymar will follow suit.
IN his debut match with Al Hilal, Neymar didn't make much of a contribution.
Since he was at PSG, Neymar has been prone to injury and his performance has declined, I think it will be difficult for him to recover with the Al Hilal team.
I doubt Neymar can develop and make a big contribution to the team.

[len01]

yep, exactly. the reason Neymar could not perform well in the match at that time was because Neymar was on the field for only few minutes as you said so the opportunity to score goal was a little difficult and on the other hand Neymar still needed to build chemistry with other players which gave him a big opportunity to score goal every match in future.
another problem is the possibility that Neymar did not start in yesterday match because Jorge Jesus, Al Hilal coach, has little respect and care for Neymar physical condition, which does not seem to have fully recovered so he will be doubtful if he plays as a starter if an injury occurs which will harm Al Hilal himself.

Neymar didn't got much opportunity to play for Al-Hilal. He played for 26 minutes and during the same he assisted for 1 goal and made 4 shots. To play in a new atmosphere and with completely new players takes little time to get adopted to the situation. Similar scenario happened with Ronaldo during his initial matches. Later slowly things started to change as Ronaldo started to get cooperation with the players. Most of the time the highly paid players were into discussion. These players surely make changes in the market, one such incident is the broadcast of the league. Before Ronaldo into the league, only three countries broadcasted it. Now more than 150 countries broadcasting the league.

getting 1 assist is already good enough even if you can not score a goal but getting an assist is proof that Neymar contribution has started to increase and yes it is very normal as I said before if this situation is quite understandable because after all it is Neymar first match and of course all the players will experience slightly less than optimal performance when they first arrive on a team.

upcoming match Al Hilal will play away against Damac F.C. and this is not a strong team for Al Hilal which is very easy to beat and if in this match Neymar will appear as a starter I am sure Neymar will perform optimally in that match.

It's a very important aspect of a professional player to be able to perform for a long period of time on the highest level that they lifestyle at least matches their talent. That's when there is synergy between talent and lifestyle and when these players can really accelerate and make the best out of themselves. I think in that regard Ronaldo is the best example we will ever have. He never was as gifted as Messi, for example, but he lived an incredibly healthy life with 150% dedication to his job. I have never seen him just a little bit out of shape for a single day in the last 20 years or so. I think he had one major injury? I am not even sure.

Neymar is literally partying on a Thursday when he has a game on a Saturday. Goes to MC Donald's, even gets criticized by Mbappe to please eat healthy food. But honestly if we were Neymar and money would be raining over our heads all day long no matter whether you are injured or can play well or not, I don't know how I would behave. It's easy to say that we would be different.

Even though they the professional players doesn't really perform well for a very long time atleast their impact should be felt in a team despite their age, that's what makes them very professional,  if you notice some players are naturally talented while others have to work hard and devoted their time and effort to become very successful on the pitch, and I think most players that are naturally talented don't find it very difficult to perform  wel up to their old age like Messi for instance, because the talent is inbuilt and he doesn't really needs too much effort to be at his best on the pitch.
 
 Whereas Ronaldo at his age still need to try his best to be very fit and look healthy on the pitch which I not something he could keep up to for a very long time and that's why you see him fail to perform well in some matches. However some players doesn't allow football affect their lifestyle and one thing i love about Neymar is that his lifestyle doesn't affect his performance he'll still visit the club go for parties and perform very brilliantly on the pitch.

[rendravolt]

Because here we are still on the topic of Saudi league teams, so I'm talking about it here.

Al-Nassr achieved victory during last night's match in the AFC champions league against hosts Persepolis who are representatives of Iran. Ronaldo and his friends managed to win with a score of 0-2 and each goal was scored by Ghareeb and Qasem. Even though this time Ronaldo failed to score a goal in the AFC Champions League competition, I think he will do it in the next match. This was Al-Nassr's first win and also placed them at the top of group E with 3 points. This is a new competition for Ronaldo after previously finishing in the European Champions League and now he definitely wants to aim for a new target with Al-Nassr to win the AFC Champions League title later.

[bering]

upcoming match Al Hilal will play away against Damac F.C. and this is not a strong team for Al Hilal which is very easy to beat and if in this match Neymar will appear as a starter I am sure Neymar will perform optimally in that match.

About Al Hilal performance at Saudi Pro League so far they can able to managed their performance that from 6 matches Al Hilal can scores 20 goals total and this records also makes them as the team with the most goals in this competition and Salem Al Dawsari currently as their top scorer with 6 goals and tomorrow match against Damac F.C i think Al Hilal had a potention to gets the winning result again even with big scores because Damac F.C performance was so poor even since May this year Damac F.C still unable to get a winning result at home so this is good chances to Al Hilal to collect 3 points and for bet options the bookmakers provide low odds for Al Hilal @1.16 and i am not surprised because Damac FC is a weak team in Saudi Pro League but instead of Al Hilal win which is had low odds i think other option just like over 2.5 goals also seems also good pick and this option had better odds @1.43

[Strongkored]

Al Nassr won the AFC Champions League match against Persepolis club from Iran, so they lead the standings for group E of the AFC champions league
However, there is a match that is no less important that they have to face this Saturday, as the home team Al Nassr will be very favored but Al Ahli is a team that is quite strong this season and they started the season better than Al Nassr, succeeding in winning this big match will be opens up opportunities for Al Nassr to improved their rank and have the same points as Al Ahli, and matches with teams that are currently above them will open up opportunities for Al Nassr to get closer to their competitors.

With the current performance and strategy look like Al Hilal is considering themselves for the Saudi League instead of AFC Champions League because they are not giving their best in AFC Champions League and having no weakness for the Saudi League with their sights are for the seventh title in 14 years which could be amazing for them right now they are leading the league table by one point from the defending champions Al Ittihad and two other challengers Al Ahli and Al Nassr are also not far behind from them in this race.

In coming match which is going to play at Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium Abha against Damac look like easy business for them because home side is already in relegation zone with three points from six games and their defense is also worst which will allow Al Hilal to have another big margin win for them and good practice for their attackers.

Ronaldo still has a big chance of scoring a goal in the Asian Champions League, Al Nassr looks like they will succeed in qualifying as group E winners. Rodalno first appearance on the Asian Champions League stage sounds a little different, because Ronaldo is very familiar with UCL in Europe. His presence automatically raises the prestige of the competition, and I think Ronaldo will target the top scorer in every competition he participates in.

Al Nassr next match will be against AL Ahli in the SPL, I think this will be very interesting to wait for. Because both clubs have former European players who have made both of them quite strong this season, this match is like a derby in the SPL.

Firstly, Al-Hilal only played a draw at home with a weak opponent in the first game of the Asian Champions League. And secondly, Neymar did not particularly distinguish himself in the game except that he received a yellow card, and in any European country he would have received a straight red card and would have received an additional disqualification for aggressive behavior.
Can anyone explain to me how this was not punished with a red card?
https://t.me/videos_sportsru/38

And for the violation committed by Neymar, I also agree, Neymar should have been given a red card. The reason is that Neymar carried out his action by kicking the ball at the opposing player and this was an act of violence and could endanger the opposing player. However, the referee may still tolerate Neymar's violation. So the result is only a yellow card.

I also agree with you, because Neymar's behavior deserves a red card. Here Neymar did not treat his opponent like that at all. Neymar got a yellow card for such a big offense here I think the referee helped Neymar a lot. If it was the Europa League, Neymar would have been severely punished for this. Neymar's popularity is slowly disappearing from people for such behavior. I was also a fan of Neymar but I don't like this behavior of Neymar at all.

Between Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli I find it difficult to see which team is stronger. But so far both teams have appeared consistent and have performed equally well. Al-Ahli may only experience 1 defeat from the 6 matches they have played. Which means Al-Ahli already have 5 wins. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr has lost 2 of the 6 matches they have played. It's just that Al-Nassr's defeat at the start of the season was when CR7 was resting and not playing. So the point is that Al-Nassr's defeat at that time was because several key players were not playing. Which means that at that time Al-Nassr was not competing at full strength. But defeat is still defeat. I hope Al-Nassr does not suffer a third defeat against Al-Ahli.

Al-Ahli may indeed be a strong opponent. Because both clubs are under PIF. And Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr both spent a lot of money in the transfer market to get lots of European star players. So it would be very natural if the match would be quite fierce. Because both teams have the same strength.

Taking into account the fact that the next game for Al-Nasr will be a home plus against a obviously weaker opponent (this will be Tajikistan Istiqlol), then we can expect a big score and maybe several goals scored by Ronaldo. In the end, the Champions League is the competition that belongs to him and having set a record in the European Champions League, he definitely wants to achieve something in the Asian one.

Neymar's arrival into Saudi League is not for his performance or any better contribution into this league because we all know mostly he is living with his injuries and have no good contribution into PSG mostly Saudi League management done this investment for having better marketing purpose on South America region because they need big names from this region for having good marketing purpose and better media coverage.

Neymar is one of the best player without any doubt but things never been on same level for him now mostly talking about his luxurious life and other things which are needed by this league and its organizers.

Here I agree about this, most chances he will be not ideal player but Al Hilal already have enough quality and players for the better results in this season.

[Volgastallion]

Neymar again its having problems in his personal life, i read some news were they claim he cheated on his wife and mother of his recently born children, so i dont know what its gonna happen with him in this months. But you know for Brazilians players this its a normal day in the office.
