Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Cristiano Ronaldo still have not only a good performance but more important for this league a massive crowd of people who follows him and also a ton of memes and marketing production, no other player has this. Not even Neymar Messi or others.

Shouldn't we have a substantial discussion here? Instead of making mediocre posts, it's better if we discuss upcoming matches, good odds and predictions.

In 5 days we'll enter week 10 of the SPL, Al-Nassr will face Damac FC. In the previous meeting, Al-Nassr was able to win with a clean sheet, all 3 of Al-Nassr's goals were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

What's your prediction for this match? Can Al-Nassr keep another clean sheet since this is their home match?

Maybe he didnt have yet an amazing performance in the league or for Al Nassr at all this season but he is the top striker of the league so far and no body can say a word. He might have missed some big chances but he isnt at his top level like he was in the previous years he is getting old. But for Portugal he scored two goals and keeps on scoring. Still what popularity he brings to the league is big and we wont be following this league if it wasnt for him.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the key that unlocked Saudi Pro League doors to top players and make it very famous, even more than many domestic european leagues.
I remember many people criticised that move from both sides, but it turned to be a clever strategy after all.
I don't want to compare how famous Cristiano Ronaldo is or if he is more known and loved than Messi, since in South America for example Messi is respected a lot maybe with the exception of Brazil, but in North America, it is definitely Messi. In Europe, it is Cristiano Ronaldo except Catalonia and other regions. In Africa and Asia I would say it is divided except for Gulf region where Cristiano Ronaldo has more crowd.

In 5 days we'll enter week 10 of the SPL, Al-Nassr will face Damac FC. In the previous meeting, Al-Nassr was able to win with a clean sheet, all 3 of Al-Nassr's goals were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

What's your prediction for this match? Can Al-Nassr keep another clean sheet since this is their home match?

Talking about the Al Nassr versus Damac FC match, this match will be held in the next 6 days. and it shouldn't be a difficult match for them to play and beat the opposing team. After all, they are in 10th position, having only won 2 of their 9 matches, 4 draws, 3 defeats. In the end, he was only able to collect 10 points. In last season's meetings, both home and away, Damac always found it difficult to put up a fight against Al Nassr, in the end they always lost in the last 4 meetings between these two teams. In this match, the bookies still favor the home team to defeat the opposing team, namely Damac FC.
It's just that, I don't know whether Luis Castro will play his full starting eleven. The reason is, a few days later, Al Nassr will play a match against Al Duhail in the AFC Champions, Group E. By the way, Al Duhail has now changed coaches under Galtier.

However, there is a match that is actually more interesting, namely Al Taawoun versus Al Ittihad which will be held in 5 days. Al Taawoun is now in 2nd place, while Al Ittihad is in 4th position behind Al Nassr. and what is certain is that both teams will both target full points to strengthen their position in the Saudi Pro League standings. Unfortunately, I have difficulty getting the latest information regarding the teams competing in this League. However, in terms of betting options, it seems that the bookies favor Al Ittihad in the meeting against Al Taawoun.

There are few teams that bought amazing players and all of them look like they could fight against each other to be fair. I am not saying they are all equally good teams but we could consider them doing as well as hoped for and I do not think that it would really change anything for the long term. I know that it's going to be a bit of a tough deal and we may end up with some situation that would be a bit different, but at the end of the day it's going to be fine for them and not really end up with anything that would be really hard to handle.

This is of course only be able to get done if they know what they are doing and should not be really worried about it. If they know what they are doing then it could suddenly become a bit better.

[AakZaki]

With his attitude for not supporting LGBTQ+ it's also a best reason for Saudi Arabia to sign Ronaldo because Islam is forbid about LGBTQ+, unlike Messi who joined in Barcelona where Barcelona is supporting LGBTQ+ and he accept to wear LGBTQ+ armband. If Ronaldo move to MLS, he will not feel good since USA is supporting LGBTQ+.

No, I think at the moment he is focused on An Nasr. He has become a major part of An Nasr after almost 2 years. Mane's arrival also gave Ronaldo support to be a goal target. If you see that, Ronaldo might be given a contract extension. But I heard there was an option from Newcastle who wanted to bring him to England. They have bought Tonali and won in the UCL against PSG. That will make Newcastle eager to add strength in January. But all this is not certain and we are just waiting for Ronaldo to speak.

Everyone wants to watch the old Ronaldo, he has risen to a more competitive level in the league as he has established strong squads in other teams. Even if Ronaldo cannot do his best this season, he is still the best striker in the league, I think he will still reach a level that reminds me of the old Ronaldo, that is, the young Ronaldo. I think he will achieve this stability in this league.

There is nothing that can stop him. It is enough to see that he is still playing with desire and enthusiasm, at least he does not give up. I think he could have given up some things long ago in exchange for all this wealth.

[Captain Corporate]

I mean it is definitely something that would make sense for him to move here in a sense and that is mainly because he may not be as good as he used to be back when he was with Real Madrid, but at the time of his peak when he was there he played like this against much harder opponents and he was scoring like crazy and he was talented above everyone else. Now that he is here, it becomes obvious that he is still more talented than everyone else, and he is still destroying opponents. If he stayed at europe and tried to play at United or Juventus or somewhere like that, it would not be possible for him to score like this, but since he is here, he can continue to dominate all other teams with his talent for some more time.

Al Nassr will ever be grateful for Cristiano Ronaldo signing as their player. The Portugal international is an unstoppable player with incredible performance consistently exhibited against his opponents on the pitch. He's most feared by most of the defenders that stand a chance to stop him from scoring, at the end of the day he disgrace the player with amazing skills. Cristiano Ronaldo is a top player that every upbringing players look up to, he's an idol to most people, you know why? Because he has earned his place in football, writing history, breaking and rewriting a new one, he's the undisputed GOAT we all know that.

[Docnaster]

Ronaldo was filmed saying "bismillah" while taking the penalty at Portugal as well. Saudi Arabia is really rubbing off on him and he seems to be enjoying life there, he scored goals as well for the national team and I am sure that when he comes back he will keep scoring again for his team as well.

The thing is, dude is very very expensive for them, but he is also bringing success and fame to them as well, he was a player that was bigger than the club when he came in and I am sure that he is still like that, I mean if you look at it from some personal perspective. That is something to care about and think about when making a transfer. Him being basically a spokesperson for the entire league? That wasn't even assumed and it is going that way very easily at this point.

Amazing, with that prayer CR7 performance is better, and in the end he successfully executed that penalty very well. Saudi Arabia already very proud to CR7, because him all fans of CR7 now watching this league, and make the SPL more famous than before. Of course, I also believe Ronaldo can still score a lot for his team. Currently he has collected 10 scores in the SPL top score table, and that score will increase because CR7 is still a goal machine at Nassr, his performance although he is old but still mpressive.
I think there are no expensive words for them, because they may can be pay him until CR7 hangs up his boots I mean retires.

The truth is when one stays in an environment where he's absolutely accepted as loved, there's every tendency that the person is gonna end up doing everything that people of his new environment does. Cristiano Ronaldo since he arrived Saudi Arabia in January has received unwavering support from people of the middle East country as well received so much love from the locals there and that's why the Portuguese is now praying like the the Arabs when he wants to pray or needs Almighty God's blessings.
Despite his current age the Portugal national team captain is still delivering great performancea on the pitch for both club and country and that's actually a beautiful thing to watch.

Ronaldo is just showing how great his attitude, even though if he has different religion but he is still putting all of his respects to the moeslim. Ronaldo was playing at saudi pro league which is also majority of of its supporters were muslims.
Im not even feeling surprised to see him does it but he deserves some praises.

Yes, Ronaldo should act professionally even though he has a different religion, but Ronaldo is able to be tolerant and respect other religions, even the majority of Saudi Arabians will also respect him because he has behaved professionally as a very good star player.
While Ronaldo was at Al Nasr, I also didn't see any problems, which means Ronaldo is very comfortable with other players and they are very friendly to Ronaldo so that the star player will repay the club's kindness by performing as strong as possible with the talent he has and will continue to contribute to scoring. score to occupy the top spot on the points table.
Ronaldo's choice was very right before he decided to quit football, he chose to join the Saudi pro league to get a big salary and he is also very appreciated here.

Some talented and famous players like Ronaldo when they get old still they can have good performance and it seems that's a part of their life to have better performance than other players. Ronaldo is getting old and he should perform well normally at this age, we know he is not fresh as in his young days but still, Ronaldo is a gem for a team like Al Nassr and that's a great advantage for them to have a palyer like Ronaldo in this team.

It doesn't need to be explained we all know and can be proven by looking at the name on the top score list and also we are waiting for his name in the Asian Champions League. I think it will reach many records or maybe be the player who has the most awards, imagine if Ronaldo and Al-Nassr won the ACL title  of course it will be a new record for him to win titles in several competitions that has never been done by any player in the world   but yeah too quickly said al-Nassr won ACL.

Cristiano Ronaldo still have not only a good performance but more important for this league a massive crowd of people who follows him and also a ton of memes and marketing production, no other player has this. Not even Neymar Messi or others.

It doesn't matter that he hasn't put in any notable performances for the club so far this season as we saw how well he performed for his club last season. His two goals in the last Arab Cup final made Al Nasser the Arab Cup champion. 

Cristiano Ronaldo is in good form for Portugal at the moment. The Portuguese superstar scored a pair of goals in the match against Slovakia. Two of the three goals in the match against slovakia came from him who scored one through a penalty and the other through his football skills. His last two mistakes earned Portugal full points in the match. 

Ronaldo is a professional footballer so we should not have any doubts about his performance.

Ronaldo existence in football have made many people become football lovers. I'm not going to lie, Ronaldo have made me enjoyed football to the fullest. Cristiano Ronaldo is a rare gem in football and any team that he has played for can testify about the incredible contribution of the player to the club. Al Nassr declined in form until they signed Cristiano Ronaldo from European football who's having good time in Saudi Pro League. He's presence has brought development to the team, they're in the lists of competitive teams that are favorites to win SPL title this season.

As a defending champion Al Ittihad performance a bit decline recently because few weeks ago they playing draw against Al Feiha and last week Al Ittihad surprisingly lose from Al Ahli and this also make their position was taking over by Al Hilal but next opponent will not be easy for Al Ittihad because they have to playing away against Al Taawon and this is could be a hard match for Al Ittihad because compared to them Al Taawon performance is slightly better than them and this also causes Al Taawon can successfully to occupy second position on league standings because recently Al Taawon can gets 4 winning streak in all competitions and from recent meeting too Al Taawon has successfully to beat Al Ittihad at home so Al Taawon has a potention to make Al Ittihad failed to earn points again

In 5 days we'll enter week 10 of the SPL, Al-Nassr will face Damac FC. In the previous meeting, Al-Nassr was able to win with a clean sheet, all 3 of Al-Nassr's goals were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

looking at the odds provided by the Al Nassr bookmaker, it has @1.16 while Damac is @13 and with the odds that Al Nassr has, this is very convincing and you can be sure that Al Nassr will win and of course Ronaldo will get the opportunity to score in large numbers because remember that Damac is not a strong team in the SPL but once defended against Al Hilal with the final score being a draw.

from that match Al Nassr seems to have to be a little careful not to be too careless in opening their defense because I see that Damac has a slightly good attacker but his defense is a little bad and I really hope that Ronaldo will not waste too long opportunities and continue to put pressure on Damac defense to bring down mentally and can score even more.

experiencing defeat against Al-Ahli was indeed very surprising and it was a great shame for Ittihad not to be able to get points from that match, who knows what is wrong with Ittihad's current performance that makes it unstable when facing matches in the Saudi pro league.
When facing Al-Taawon of course it will not be easy for Ittihad to get points in that match because Al-Taawon is in good condition at the moment so Al-Taawon will try as hard as possible to face this match but this match will also be difficult to predict because Ittihad is also will try to appear impressive in this match or at least Ittihad will optimize the draw rather than accept defeat.

According to a news from Fabrizio,when asked about the future, Ronaldo made a statement saying that the doesn't think about the future, that the thinks about the short term and enjoy it, that could mean that their are chances that he could decide to leave or remain at his current club and enjoy the moments, he's already got a trophy with the club, I believe he'll try getting the Saudi Pro League title before he leaves Al-Nassr or resign from football.

 Well I  believe he wouldn't want to go against the contract he had with Al-Nassr and decide to resign before the contract expires he'll probably extend his contract for 1 or more season and get a huge increment on his salary, he's been one of the major contribution for the team's success and I don't think they'll want let him leave sooner.

We know that Ronaldo is a person who is ambitious about everything and as long as he hasn't won the Saudi League title with Al-Nassr, of course he doesn't want to leave that soon. During his time with European teams, Ronaldo always won the title he wanted and now it is Al-Nassr's turn to wait for Ronaldo's magic to win the Saudi League title after last season they failed to do so. It is also possible that the ACL title will also be his next target and will be paired with the Saudi League title and that is still possible considering that his contract with Al-Nassr is still sufficient to do that. I think the right place for him to return home after this long journey is back to Sporting Lisbon where he started his career. If he returns there he can still play in the Champions League.

Ambitious and always able to prove it is a character that Ronaldo has. But with his statements like Fabrizio said, it seems like his ambition level has decreased, I don't know why but I'm sure it's related to his age. Indeed, at his age, enjoying the latter part of his career is a must. I mean his contribution to a big club, not even just for his club Al Nassr but for the continuity of the League as well. Because it cannot be denied, the rise in popularity of the Arab League that we see now is indirectly inseparable from the role of Ronaldo who accepted Al Nassr's offer at first.

Well I think Al-ittihad really tried in against Al-Ahli but they were very unfortunate to lose Al-ittihad at home, they should had won the match but were so careless to a goal in the 1st half, if you noticed they dominated the game and even won in possession, they create more chances and tried to get a reply but luck wasn't on their side, Al-Ahli really defended the one goal they scored and didn't allow The home team to even get an equalizer.

 Their next match is a very tough one against one of the top 4 teams away from their home, they might be unlucky again to lose that match but they need to be very careful and atleast try to grab a point, they need more points if they want to defend their title this season, Al-Hilal is a very tough team and with their performance this season they might overthrown Al-ittihad as the champions of the league this season.
