Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Hvdv]

As you predicted, it seems that Al-Nassr will indeed win this match. Because now the first half seems to be ending and Al-Nassr has gained a 1 goal lead. Because the current score is 1-0 with Al-Nassr's advantage.

But I personally can't underestimate Al-Ettifaq because Al-Ettifaq has quite good coaches and players. Even the captain and coach Al-Ettifaq were both former captains of the Liverpool squad at that time. So don't be surprised if Al-Ettifaq also becomes stronger than other clubs apart from clubs under PIF ownership. But indeed Al-Nassr has more high-quality players. Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo are definitely two legends who cannot be ignored. These two people were monsters in the world of European football when they were young.

Edit: I don't know what happened but the score changed back to 0-0. (Did I see wrong?) And Talisca actually got a red card and was withdrawn from the field. I've only been away for a while and I don't know what caused it but what I saw before has changed.

After a VAR review, the goal for Al-Nassr was cancelled. The second half has started and it looks like it will be a tough game for Al-Nassr because they lost one key important player, although there are still have Ronaldo and Mane, but losing Talisca might have an impact on the sharpness of Al Nassr attack. But I hope Ronaldo or Mane can make a surprise in this match.
Meanwhile, in another match Ittihad still leads with a score of 1 against Al Feiha.

Mane scored an important goal and Al Nassr managed to win the match after missing 75 minutes. Talisca committed great indiscipline by leaving his team missing at the end of the first half. There should be a punishment for this. Fortunately, their teammates helped them get past Al Nassr for another round.

Mane brings the victory for Al Nasrr in the extratime, they sweat a lot to get this victory, more than they want i think. But it was against a good team with a lot of european stars like them.

Many decisions did not favor Al Nassr, almost like there was an agenda against them, and even with the red card they still found the will to win this very crucial game necessary for qualification to the other round in the kings cup. In games where Ronaldo does not score , Sadio Mane steps up and fills up. Al Nassr supporters will be happy to have them both in their team. Ronaldo's influence is big in the club and for Saudi Football in general as we saw many players move to the league after him, and the country becoming more recognized. They also have just been confirmed as the host for the FIFA world cup in 2034. It is a big achievement for them.

Mane brings the victory for Al Nasrr in the extratime, they sweat a lot to get this victory, more than they want i think. But it was against a good team with a lot of european stars like them.

Only one game left for this 16 round in Kings cup.

It seems that Al Nassr had quite a hard time beating Al Ettifaq in this match with a large number of goals, so the match will not last until extra time. to be honest, I didn't watch this match, but it looks like Steven Gerrard's squad plays more with a defensive system. because after all, the team they are playing against is a star-studded team.
Referring to the statistics of the match, it seems that this match was not going well. I don't know for sure, but referring to statistics, Al Ettifaq didn't put up much resistance. So I concluded that Steven Gerrard's squad only played defensively and counter-attacked if they had the chance. In the end, this match was won by Al Nassr with a narrow score from Sadio Mane's goal. 

Well, there is something interesting about the next match in this King's Cup competition. I don't know what the competition system is like, but it looks like Al Nassr will meet Al Iithad in the next round. or, there will be another draw, honestly I don't know the system of this competition. However, it is very likely that these two will meet in the next phase of the King's Cup competition between Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad. If I'm wrong, please correct. and if you win like that, this match will offer an exciting, interesting and prestigious match.

Saudi Pro League title is for the leading team that can stands good chances of pressing and enduring under pressure, it's a normal thing for a team to have red card but using that terrible situation to win a game is impressive, the Knights of Najd are improving in every game for the main purpose of wining SPL title. Al Nassr have climbed to second place on SPL table after narrowly escaping a draw tie against Al Ettifaq. Facing them was one of the challenging games, but let's say they got really lucky. Sadio Mané saved the day with his incredible performance on the pitch against Al Ettifaq.

After seeing the improvement in Al-Nassr's performance I believe they have a great chance of winning the title this season and just waiting for the moment to replace Al-Hilal at the top of the standings. Previously I hoped that Al-Ittihad would be the main competitor for Al-Nassr but this season their performance has not been optimal they even dropped out of the top 4 but yeah there is still time to improve it.

Meanwhile, in another match Ittihad still leads with a score of 1 against Al Feiha.

The referee's decision in the match clearly made things difficult for Al-Nassr. But fortunately Al-Nassr was still able to survive and still win the match. Mane was the hero in this match. The match was a bit heated because both teams in the end each received 1 red card.

For the Al-ittihad match, they managed to win with a good score, namely 0-3 over Al-ittihad's victory and Al-Hilal also managed to win against Al-Hazm. But Al-Nassr is the only one running full of drama. Because losing Talisca in the first half was really a big loss for Al-Nassr because Talisca is a player who always makes a big contribution in completing the attacks built by Al-Nassr. But the important thing is that Al-Nassr can win and will qualify for the next stage.

When Neymar was signed to Al Hilal from PSG, there was a fear of Neymar getting injured, but Al Hilal did not care about that fear and signed Neymar only hoping for good things, but that injury took Neymar back. A club is more likely to miss a player for an entire season than a player is likely to suffer an injury. Neymar has been injured several times and he has returned several times but only lost precious moments of football in the middle. Neymar is now injured, maybe after a few months he will come back from injury but he will miss only Al Hilal matches this season. As a Neymar fan, it is my hope that Neymar recovers quickly from his injury and joins the team's training camp again.

Al-Hilal has several reasons when bringing Neymar they know Neymar is vulnerable to injury but Al-Hilal needs Neymar popularity to attract the world's attention to this league and the fact is Al-Hilal managed to do it, so far Neymar contribution is still low to Al-Hilal but as we see Al-Hilal is able to take place at the top of the standings this means that with or without Neymar they can still compete and the most highlight is that they have never lost also conceded the lowest. To be honest we are waiting for the match between Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr we want to know who is better, based on the schedule of the two teams will fight each other in December.

Apart from Neymar, Al Hilal is a strong enough club but the main reason for bringing Neymar to Al Hilal from PSG at a high price is to strengthen their club. The way Al Hilal is performing now, if Neymar was fully fit to play without being injured, Al Hilal's performance would have been even better. Knowing that Neymar is at risk of injury, the club in Saudi Arabia has comfortably completed the deal with Neymar. There are several reasons to bring Neymar to their club. First of all, if Neymar is brought to their club, the performance of their club will be much better, as well as the popularity of their club will increase and the followers of their club will increase. It will be good news for Al Hilal fans if Neymar recovers and returns to the field.

It's not really surprising me at this moment. in fact that if ettifaq played so garbage against al nassr. I think that the owned of ettifaq needs to sack gerrard as soon as possible as there is no improvement that is happening to the club. Ettifaq can start to think replace gerrard with mourinho. Mourinho has been offering himself to become a new coach for the saudi pro league.
The chance that has owned by ettifaq to recruit him is very big at this moment. I hope that ettifaq will sack gerrard soon. This guy was so garbage. Any club managed by him will always get lose streak.

Ettifaq shall have stopped in using him as appointment. That guy is so terrible in coaching a club. I don't even trust him anymore to handle ettifaq.
He can maximize the available resource at this moment. I hope that ettifaq will consider this as there is still a chance to recruit mourinho as a new appointment at this time.

Anyteam being managed by gerrard will become another flop. This guy is faily as a coach. He was not also winning a single EPL when he was playing for liverpool.

Sure, the match that took place last night between Al Nasr and Al Ettifaq was very fierce. Even though Al Nasr had superior possession of the ball over Al Etifaq, it could be said that Al Nasr had big difficulties in last night's match. The reason is, the attacks carried out by Ronaldo and his friends are very difficult to score. Even in the 29th minute, Al Nasr almost conceded. However, fortunately the defender from Al Nasr managed to block the ball and thwart Al ettifaq's chance.

Apart from that, what was even more unfortunate was that Talisca's goal was disallowed at the end of the first half and Talisca was even given a red card for hitting player Al ettifaq in the face. So in the second half Al Nasr lacked one of its best players. However, even until the second half, Al Nasr remained consistent in controlling the game by continuing to pressure Al Ettifaq. Then in extra time, Sadio Mane managed to take advantage of the flat pass given Yahya and resulted in the winning goal for Al Nasr.

And with the victory achieved by Al Nasr last night, Al Nasr managed to qualify for the top 8 of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup.

You would think that any player transfer is primarily done to strengthen the team on the pitch and to increase the chances for winning the titles, but when you realize that transfers don't make sense in terms of the finances, it is about something else and this has been discussed here before. Neymar wasn't bought to strengthen the team above all else, it was to increase global visibility of the club and the Saudi Professional League as a whole. But whatever, so far the medical analysis of Neymar's injury suggests that he will be out for the season.

[Strongkored]

In this tournament, not only Al Nassr win, but also the strong teams in the Saudi Pro League managed to win, it could even be said to have won convincingly, Al Hilal won with a score of 3-0 from Al Hazm, Ittihad won 3-0 from Al Feiha and Al Taawon 2-0 from Al Wahda, bad luck was actually suffered by Al Ahli who lost to the Abha team which could be said to be weaker than them.
With the result of this defeat, Al Ahli must be able to focus more on the league match now and this week they will face Al Riyadh, and if we judge their opponents later, Al Ahli should be able to win convincingly and they should be able to do it, and Firmino, who is not very productive at his current club, is quite influencing the results obtained by Al Ahli, maybe Al Ahli will look for an alternative striker who can make their team more productive.

Yes. In all probability Al Hilal will be forced to play without Neymar for the remainder of the season and it is going to be a big blow for them. In terms of global visibility, absence of Neymar is going to hit them very hard. That said, I am not sure how much it is going to impact them in the ongoing season of Saudi Professional League. Even without Neymar, they have world class players such as Rúben Neves, Sergej Milinković-Savić and Malcom. And at this point, they are at the top of the points table, with 29 points from 11 matches. Al Nassr at second place only has 25 points.

But I was not surprised by Abha's victory against Al-Ahli. Because even though Abha is a weak club. But sometimes this club is always able to make things difficult for clubs that are much stronger than them. An example is Al-Nassr who were also held to a draw in the SPL a few weeks ago. Even though at that time Al-Nassr was really in the best condition they had. But Abha was actually able to make a team as strong as Al-Nassr have to be willing to share points with them. So I would not be surprised if Al-Ahli lost in yesterday's match at the King Cup of Champions. But still, I personally feel disappointed with Al-Ahli in this match. Because they actually have quite a lot of opportunities in this match. Because in the second half Abha only played with 10 players. Even at the end of the match, Abha played with 9 people.

It could be said that the match against Al-Ettifaq was quite balanced and it was only fitting that these two teams failed to score goals in normal time. But indeed the loss for Al;-Ettifaq came in the 89th minute after one of his players received a red card and that reduced the strength of his squad. Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq had to continue the match in extra time and it took a little more patience before Mane finally scored the only winning goal for Al-Nassr in the 107th minute. This was an important victory for Al-Nassr in the Kings Cup competition and for Jordan Henderson and his friends must be willing to accept this defeat.

The thing that made me feel good to see how al nassr was able defending its club after talisca was out from the club due to the red card. Al nassr was trying so hard not to lose against its opponent and glad to see that how mane has become a solution that was also able helping the club to go to the next round. It's rally pumping my heart to see what's happening with al nassr against ettifaq. Ettifaq was quite strong but it needs to change its coach once again. Gerrard was not suitable in coaching a club like that.
Good bye al ettifaq. Good luck next season with a replacement for gerrard. Gerrard was making the club become inconsistent at this moment. There's no progress being made by him at this moment. I thought that if al nassr would be lose in that game.
I can't even imagine how happy al nassr fans that were watching the match directly after their favorite teams were winning the game dramatically against ettifaq.

Al-Nassr is really in a difficult position. Because they had to play with only 10 players in the second half after Talisca had to leave the field because he received a red card. But I am really satisfied because in the end Al-Nassr was able to win thanks to a goal by Sadio Mane. This may have happened because Al-Ettifaq also lost their midfielder, A. Hazazi, in the 89th minute because he received a red card. After that Al-Nassr really became lucky. But Al-Nassr survived without conceding a goal by playing with only 10 players in 44 minutes in the second half which we really have to appreciate. Because to be honest, I'm a little pessimistic about the second half. Because after all, Al-Ettifaq is also a strong team which also has several very superior European players.

Mane has really been savior for Al Nassr and this match is very important because by getting this win it will be easier for Al Nassr to qualify for the next round.
Ronaldo played quite well in the first half and after Talisca came out at the end of the first half Ronaldo was not as aggressive in the second half and couldn't have more places to attack, Talisca is player who is very important for Al Nassr front line so from the red card what he gets could be very detrimental to the team.

In the future Al Nassr will have several matches without Talisca, but in some of these matches they will only face teams that are quite weak so there is still a possibility that Al Nssr will be able to achieve any victory without Talisca.

Correct. At least in the upcoming matches Al-Nassr will have opponents who are not as strong as Al-Ettifaq. As in the next two days, Al-Nassr will face Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League week 12. But there is still something you need to watch out for from Al-Khaleej because it seems like this club cannot be underestimated. Due to the fact that Al-Khaleej was also able to hold Al-Taawoun and Al-ettifaq to a draw. And it is possible that Al-Khaleej will also target a draw when facing Al-Nassr. But I hope Al-Nassr can get full points. Because currently Al-Nassr is ranked 2nd. And I hope Al-Nassr can maintain it well. Because if Al-Nassr only gets 1 point in the next match then this will make Al-nassr drop in ranking again. Namely ranking 3rd or even 4th. And apart from that, the difference in points with Al-Hilal will also become increasingly different. But I remember that Luis Castro sometimes didn't play Talisca from the start. So it could be said that Al-Nassr is ready to have another strategy even though they have to play without Talisca.

[Bobrox]

Yes. In all probability Al Hilal will be forced to play without Neymar for the remainder of the season and it is going to be a big blow for them. In terms of global visibility, absence of Neymar is going to hit them very hard. That said, I am not sure how much it is going to impact them in the ongoing season of Saudi Professional League.

Al Nassr at second place only has 25 points.

Currently, Neymar will absent until this season ended and Al Hilal have show their best perform and defending top position without Neymar. I don't think problem for Al Hilal leaves by Neymar because on few early matches they don't have Neymar in squad and I think they will find right replacement for Neymar position. Al Hilal have top standings behind four points remaining with Al Nassr and last match on King Cup of Champion success defeated Al Hazm 3-0 with goals contribution from Ruben Neves and Alexander Mitrovic.

Al Hilal keep in the top perform without Neymar and I believe Malcom, Ruben Neves and Mitrovic will give more effort to help Al Hilal keep on the top position. Al Hilal keep in the unbeaten record in domestic league with playing 11 matches and I think have Neymar or not they can defend good result in domestic league and AFC Champion League.

Sadio Mane's goal in extra time send Al-Nassr into the quarter-finals of the King Cup of Champions. It's unfortunate that despite his goal being crucial in helping Al-Nassr qualify for the next level, the media hasn't given him much praise. I really enjoyed Mane's performance, as well as the strong defense from Al-Nassr. It's clear there's good teamwork going on. The combination and influence of Sadio, Ronaldo, and Talisca in Al-Nassr is significant. Although Talisca will be absent in the upcoming games due to his red card, the combination of Sadio and Ronaldo might help them overcome the challenges.
