Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[TastyChillySauce00]

Al-Ittihad faced their first loss of the season in the AFC Champions League vs Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya. Karim Benzema hasn't won any of his last 5 games with Al-Ittihad. He's having a tough time in Saudi Arabia, and as a result, his club is also struggling.
Looks like their only chance now is the Saudi Cup, where they've reached the quarter-finals. Otherwise, they might end up without any silverware this season. It appears that winning the Saudi Pro League is becoming increasingly difficult for them.

Ittihad's performance become even worst. I dunno what kind of problems that have been faced by al ittihad but this is going to be even worst than before. I meant that if ittihad consistently losing so many games in a row. This is also making the mentality from the club gets down a lot.
Im feeling doubt if ittihad will able to recover to its early season performance again. Everything kinda different for al ittihad at this moment. It's likely the ittihad coach needs to do something.

Probably there is also an internal conflict that is greatly affecting the performance from the club as well. Benzema and his teammates need to sort it out.

[Uruhara]

Maybe Benzema really needs a longer adaptation like C.Ronaldo did last season. Well, even last season, when C.Ronaldo first came to Al-Nassr, he had a little difficulty scoring goals. Because actually there is a slight difference in playing patterns in European clubs and in Asian clubs, especially in the Arab league. But I estimate that in the second half of this season, Benzema will be able to show his best performance again like he did at Real Madrid. Because C.Ronaldo got better at the start of this season. But last season C.Ronaldo was not immediately able to adapt well.

Current performance Karim Benzema in Saudi Pro League with Al Ittihad looks not really bad after scoring 5 goals of 10 matches and three assists, although he still need longer time for adapting with Saudi Arabia weather and culture to return to level performed as well as when playing for Real Madrid. But looks terrible with Al Ittihad standings position awhile dropped to 6th placed and remaining 11 points from Al hilal as top position. Depend on Cristiano Ronaldo have better performance on second season with Al Nassr, I think Karim Benzema still show the best perform with Al Ittihad due many matches left in domestic league and AFC Champion League.

Well, the season will still last quite a long time. And Benzema has plenty of time to adapt to Al-ittihad. Climate factors and other things also definitely require adaptation for Benzema, who is used to playing in Europe with weather that is not like in Arabia. True, Benzema's performance is not too bad. It's just that he isn't in his best condition yet.

Al-ittihad is still in a safe position in group c. Because so far Al-ittihad has only lost 1 time in 4 matches. And has got 3 wins. So losing yesterday's match doesn't seem like it will put Al-ittihad in a difficult position. But Al-ittihad's performance is a little unstable at the moment. But I hope they can fix this soon. Because competition in the SPL is actually very tight at the moment. And Al-ittihad could be in a pretty bad position if they can't improve their performance as soon as possible.

Al Ittihad still on the top standings in AFC Champion League group C remaining two points above 2nd and 3rd place, loss from Al Quwa last match its not really huge problem due two matches left they have return to top perform and winning two matches later.

In the AFC, Al-ittihad's position is very safe. In fact, I'm sure they will get through the group stage quite easily. 1 defeat will not bring them down. In fact, they will definitely try to be better in the next match at the AFC.

But their position in the SPL (Saudi Pro League) is clearly in danger. because Al-ittihad currently even has a fairly large point difference with Al-hilal who are at the top of the standings. A few weeks ago Al-ittihad still had the same points as Al-Nassr but now the difference in points between Al-ittihad and Al-nassr has even become 7 points different.

[Hvdv]

^^^ Benzema has done a decent job so far, with 5 goals from 10 matches. But the problem is that the club (Al-Ittihad) is not doing well recently. They are 11 points behind Al Hilal and are at the 6th position in points table currently. They are even behind weak clubs such as Al-Taawoun and Al-Fateh. One reason for this is that the combination of Karim Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah hasn't clicked so far. Individually, these two are some of the best players in the world right now. But they seems to have an issue while playing together.

I cannot accept a performance of 5 goals in 10 matches from Benzema as good. Look at Ronaldo, he has 12 goals and 7 assists at his age. I expected Benzema to perform similarly, but we were wrong about this. Benzema is performing poorly, we have to accept that.

Maybe Benzema really needs a longer adaptation like C.Ronaldo did last season. Well, even last season, when C.Ronaldo first came to Al-Nassr, he had a little difficulty scoring goals. Because actually there is a slight difference in playing patterns in European clubs and in Asian clubs, especially in the Arab league. But I estimate that in the second half of this season, Benzema will be able to show his best performance again like he did at Real Madrid. Because C.Ronaldo got better at the start of this season. But last season C.Ronaldo was not immediately able to adapt well.

Ronaldo scored his first goal in his third game with Al Nassr and it was a penalty. He scored his free-kick after nearly seven months and kept scoring only penalties until he got used to the Saudi Arabia league. The weather and style of play of the SPL is different from what Karim Benzema is used to in Europe so he needs time to get used to the League. The high temperature makes playing strength consuming and energy exusting. The former world's best player will improve if he is injury-free, given more playing time and maintain fitness.

Al-ittihad is still in a safe position in group c. Because so far Al-ittihad has only lost 1 time in 4 matches. And has got 3 wins. So losing yesterday's match doesn't seem like it will put Al-ittihad in a difficult position. But Al-ittihad's performance is a little unstable at the moment. But I hope they can fix this soon. Because competition in the SPL is actually very tight at the moment. And Al-ittihad could be in a pretty bad position if they can't improve their performance as soon as possible.

We can conclude that Al-Ittihad is not doing badly when we are discussing the club's performance in in AFC Champions League. The club is above Sepahan and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya with two points in Group C having won three of their four games. But we cannot speak the same in their SPL performance, they are still struggling in the 6th position which is unacceptable for the defending champions. It is not a surprise to see Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya beat the Saudi side because they are the current leaders in the Iraqi Premier League.

[len01]

Benzema and Hamdallah must return to their best forms as soon as possible to help their club.

Don't expect so much from players like Kareem Benzema players like this has lost the hunger to win that's why they have chosen money over passion at this late stage of their footballing career, I actually love to see an unknown league grow but the way Saudi Arabia league is going about it they aren't looking at the long run, they need to work also on their academy to see that they don't have an improved league for few seasons but for a longer time.

It's not that Karim has lost his thirst for winning, he just realises that his time has come and it's better to leave for this league and still get good money. Moreover, I don't agree that Saudi Arabia is not developing their league properly. Some young stars have already moved there and more will be coming, so I think they are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly

when a player can score big scores from several matches everyone will say that player is very great but if a player cannot score big numbers everyone says he is a weak player or he is beyond hope etc.

Its really funny to see people criticizing people who only give criticism without seeing the truth and if we look at it logically, players like Ronaldo can perform very well because they get support from their teammates and what is really visible is Talisca and Mane who always provide quite good support for Ronaldo score bigger as if this player has a very good partner in the attack line.

this can be done by Ittihad if he wants Benzema to be stronger because I still see that Benzema still has quite a strong performance, its just that right now he needs support from his teammates and also needs a partner in the attack line to get the right chemistry.

^^^ Benzema has done a decent job so far, with 5 goals from 10 matches. But the problem is that the club (Al-Ittihad) is not doing well recently. They are 11 points behind Al Hilal and are at the 6th position in points table currently. They are even behind weak clubs such as Al-Taawoun and Al-Fateh. One reason for this is that the combination of Karim Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah hasn't clicked so far. Individually, these two are some of the best players in the world right now. But they seems to have an issue while playing together.

Yeah the performance of Al-Ittihad has decreased dramatically through 5 matches without a win, not only in the Saudi Pro League this bad result also continues in the Asian Champions League like yesterday Al-Ittihad was defeated 2-0 by Al-Quwa this is clearly embarrassing. I don't understand what happened and why the mainstay players of Al-Ittihad have difficulty scoring goal even though we know that last season Al-Ittihad was the winner of the Saudi Pro League, is an internal conflict or the strikers not find an ideal partner?

By the way, I disagree if you call Al-taawoun and Al-Fath is a weak team I prefer to call them the underdog team because of the fact they can compete with the top teams like Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli when compared based on the squad, the two teams are more powerful and more expensive but in the achievement Al-Taawoun and Al-Fateh it looks better, so this is the reason why they are not worthy of being called a weak team.

They don't seem to be able to form good resonance or cooperation in the field. But Al-ittihad's poor performance in several matches was not only due to the poor performance of front line players such as Benzema and Hamdallah. But because overall this team is in decline in performance. Their self-confidence seems to have decreased slightly. Maybe they are a little shocked by this season's competition in the SPL which has become more difficult and even much different from last season.

Or maybe it's not because Al-ittihad is weakening, but maybe because all the teams in the SPL have currently improved the quality of their play on the field. Even teams that don't have many European players are currently performing almost the same as teams that have lots of European players. Well all clubs are motivated to be better. Because they all realize that the competition this season is much more difficult. Even in the following seasons everything will be more difficult.

[Silence Scream]

As long as ronaldo gets a good teammate and making 1 goal per 1 match looks so easy for him. The main problem is back again to the how competence his team mate? This is also the reason ronaldo was feeling so happy once de bruyne has been rumored to join in the al nassr.
Ronaldo will have a team mates that being called as king of assists in EPL. It will give him many advantage for sure.

I think as long as Cristiano Ronaldo can still work together as team mates its not difficult for him keep consistency performance and scoring above one goal on every match in Saudi Pro League competition. Cristiano Ronaldo have been difference person when still playing in European who know his as most ego players and prefer with individual skill than team mates working. In this season with Al Nassr he not only lead top scorer goals but also his name on the first standings as most created assists.

Its expectation performed need from Cristiano Ronaldo not only consistency scoring goals on every match but also he still priority with his team mates working and have contribution by making assists. Left many matches in domestic league and I sure if not get injured can't stopping Cristiano Ronaldo scoring every goal on every matches, he has well contribution with assists and looks perfect achievement if can lead as top scorer and top assists standing at the end of this season.

Yes, CR7 doesn't just need to keep scoring because without his club mates he won't be able to win for his club and he really needs club mates who are very solid in uniting the chemistry in every match and this condition is actually already known by the Al Nassr manager so Bringing Sadio Mane to Al Nassr helps Ronaldo to continue to make the best contribution to scoring scores and bringing victory to the fans and trying to catch first place in the points table, even though it is a little difficult, Ronaldo is very confident that all difficulties can be achieved if club colleagues can work together strongly.
Talisca's presence is the same as Sadio Mane's, but this player could be the second option after Ronaldo because Talisca has quite good talent for scoring goals and Ronaldo really enjoys the front line performance which is supported by other players who have this extraordinary talent.

CR7 is playing great this season. Look at the statistics, 12 goals and 7 assists in 11 matches. These assist numbers are also high due to Talisca and Mane. Al Nassr has quality feet to turn his passes into goals. For Ronaldo, this performance at the age of 38 is just like the players who are called top-level performance at the age of 28. This year's team and national team are doing great.

I don't know how is this possible but regarding Rolando is Saudi Arabia I think people were expecting to see him having a bad performance when he started playing in the Saudi League. I think Ronaldo's performance after the age of 30 was even better than his performance when he was a young player and playing on the European teams.

He is an ambitious and very successful actor. He works constantly and does not lose anything from his work. She is determined and takes good care of her body. As such, he can perform magnificently even at the age of 38. I think the best performing player between these ages is Ronaldo in the history of football. He's a complete machine.

The Saudi Pro League is competitive no doubt, I've watched my favorites team elevates into brilliant form and they're quite improving. Al Ittihad brought Karim Benzema from Real Madrid for him to deliver the club in crucial moment but it looks like he's not meeting up the expectations set, rather underperforming and currently unavailable due to sustained injury. Benzema have not prove his worth this season but I think it's just a matter of time before he bounce back to good shape. Al Ittihad stats this season, 6W 3D 3L they're quite weighing into excellent form.

I also think like bro. It's only a matter of time until Benzema can finally get better at the club. Because I still believe that he can still return to the best performance he ever had before. Because it doesn't make sense if he suddenly loses his best performance on the field. Because even so, he is still the best currently at Al-ittihad. It's just that he hasn't really been able to integrate into the game strategy scheme at the Al-Ittihad Club. And in fact it's not just Benzema who is having difficulty adapting. But Firminho also had difficulty adapting at Al-Ahli. I think slowly everyone will return to their best performance and make the SPL even more heated. Mane at Al-Nassr was able to adapt well because he was very comfortable playing with CR7. Because CR7 is indeed a figure who can pamper his teammates at the club. Look at every assist CR7 makes. that's always a pretty lovely assist.

Ronaldo is playing in his second season. Benzema was drafted just ahead of the start of the season and he didn't got much time to get adjusted. Also, don't forget the fact that Ronaldo had a very ordinary season during 2022-23. Another factor is that Benzema suffered from several injury issues during the last few months. All that said, I am quite confident that he will bounce back and contribute to Al Ittihad in a positive way. As such Al Ittihad has a quite balanced squad. It may take a while for them to find the correct equilibrium though.

It is true that Ronaldo has more time in his club and Saudi Professional League than Benzema. More time for adaptation to a new club and a new league can make difference between two player's performances. It is one of reasons but I see a bigger reason is their fitness. Cristiano Ronaldo has better fitness than Benzema when both players are healthy, not injured. Benzema since his transfer to Al Ittihad, got some injuries that even affected his performances that are already limited in intensity.

Hopefully Benzema will recover from injuries and can play rest of season with more appearances for Al Ittihad. I really want to see interesting race between Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema as a best scorer in Saudi Professional League.

Like me, he has performed far better than this during his days at Real Madrid, and he was one of the best strikers in the world; thus, I expect much from him, especially given that he is playing in the Saudi Pro League, which is below the standard of his former team, Real Madrid. I understand that his relationship with Abderrazak Hamdallah has been strained, but Benzema is a player who battles for and scores goals despite his youth. I expect him to demonstrate his talent in a few games in order to improve his performance, as other players who have left their prior clubs have continued to outperform them.

If we look at last season before Benzema's arrival, Al-Ittihad were more able to play freely but for some reason after Benzema's arrival they had difficulty scoring goals. With Benzema, their attack line should have become more deadly, but instead it became dull. I don't know what problems surround Al-Ittihad so that they have to leave the competition at the top of the standings and if they continue like this they could fail to defend the Saudi league title they won last season. On the other hand, the coach must provide the right strategy for his players and be able to find the right combination of tactics so that Benzema and the other players can be productive again.

After the last transfer season finished, what I saw was that the unity of the Al Ittihad players had still not reached the perfect point. So the Al Ittihad players have not been able to keep up with the game of new players from European leagues such as Kante and Benzema. The reason is that in the last match against Al Quwa alone, Karim Benzema and Kante actually played very well. However, the other Al Ittihad players were unable to match the game of these two players, so the game scheme that had been planned by the Al Ittihad coach was a little less than optimal.

Indeed, if we compare Al Ittihad performance before Benzema arrived and after Benzema arrived at Al Ittihad. The performance differences are very specific. Because as we know, last season Al Ittihad managed to win the SPL league with a very good record, namely only 2 defeats. Meanwhile, this season, Al Ittihad has lost 3 times. Even though this season has only lasted 12 matches/12 weeks. So this season, Al Ittihad can be said to be experiencing a decline in performance. Although currently Al Ittihad players are superior in quality to last season's players. However, in reality, Al Ittihad performance is not good.

He is an ambitious and very successful actor. He works constantly and does not lose anything from his work. She is determined and takes good care of her body. As such, he can perform magnificently even at the age of 38. I think the best performing player between these ages is Ronaldo in the history of football. He's a complete machine.

When age was affecting the performance from other player but it's just a number for ronaldo. Ronaldo is always keeping his body is always healthy to protect his performance. Im also feeling good when watching him play for al nassr. Ronaldo at his age is still showing consistency.
The thing that i can't even understand that why ronaldo being placed at 829. UEFA is a complete corrupt. Ronaldo will always try to keep his performance stable even though his age becomes even older than before.
Ronaldo has everything he needs in al nassr. He got everything to keep his condition become even more stable. Im seeing that how ronaldo is not getting older when i saw his face.

It's unlike other player like rooney which is having a lot of transformation on his body. Ronaldo reminds me with ibra and buffon. This GOAT is always try to give the best for his club.
Ronaldo seems happy to play there despite so many parties were mocking him last season. I think that saudi pro league will become even bigger.

Indeed and as you said, Al-Ittihad is way better in terms of players while its results aren't that good comparing to the previous season because simply, many of its opponents have improved their squad by recruiting many players with good quality, making the Saudi Pro League different than the previous seasons.
The situation of the club right now isn't reassuring with many points being lost in the last 5 matches mainly. All teams above them are doing good and the points difference is getting bigger. Right now we are talking about 11 points difference from Al-Hilal which seems to be the best candidate for the first place.

[beerlover]

Maybe Benzema really needs a longer adaptation like C.Ronaldo did last season. Well, even last season, when C.Ronaldo first came to Al-Nassr, he had a little difficulty scoring goals. Because actually there is a slight difference in playing patterns in European clubs and in Asian clubs, especially in the Arab league. But I estimate that in the second half of this season, Benzema will be able to show his best performance again like he did at Real Madrid. Because C.Ronaldo got better at the start of this season. But last season C.Ronaldo was not immediately able to adapt well.

Ronaldo scored his first goal in his third game with Al Nassr and it was a penalty. He scored his free-kick after nearly seven months and kept scoring only penalties until he got used to the Saudi Arabia league. The weather and style of play of the SPL is different from what Karim Benzema is used to in Europe so he needs time to get used to the League. The high temperature makes playing strength consuming and energy exusting. The former world's best player will improve if he is injury-free, given more playing time and maintain fitness.

Plus, Benzema likes to be at the right place and the right time, his positioning is what makes him good, but that also requires him to get good passes, look at all his goals during his ballon d'or season and you will see that he is not a player that gets the ball and dribbles and scores, he stays at places that are so well that he just touches the ball once, to shoot, and then he scores like that easily.

When we are talking about a player like that, the team may not be good enough to pass him those passes, they are not good enough all around him to give him the ball right at the correct place. He no longer has players like vini jr. that could pass the ball to him at the right time and that's why he is having harder time to adjust as well.

I think the performance of Benzema in Al Ittihad was really disappointing so far and he didn't have the performance people were expecting him to see.
Al Ittihad was hoping to have a perfect performance in the AFC Champions League and the Saudi League with the superstar they bought from Real Madrid but even against a team like Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya from Iraq, they could have a good performance and Al Ittihad lost the game.

[shogun47]

Maybe yes, maybe no. Because so far many coaches who have had conflicts with Cristiano Ronaldo have ended up being fired. Maybe only Ten Heg didn't end up getting fired there. But while at Real Madrid everything is under control. Well, there are positive and negative sides to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo sometimes has strong ambitions. And sometimes he has a different understanding from the coach. For example, Rudi Garcia also left Al-Nassr after there was tension in the dressing room with all the Al-Nassr players and including Cristiano Ronaldo who was also there. What I understand from most of the characteristics of coaches who end up being fired when they have a relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo is that they are coaches who have slightly harsh characteristics. Or a coach who has the principle of controlling players according to his coaching style. Well, things like that are actually quite normal for a coach, but it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo always doesn't want to be controlled. Yes, this sometimes makes a coach's position difficult. But the current Al-Nassr coach seems to know how to deal with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ten Hag won that struggle of power against Ronaldo because Ronaldo played bad. That was a savior for ten Hag on the one hand and bad for his results for the team on the other hand. But still I think the situation could have become very ugly for him if Ronaldo scored and still behaved like a diva and like someone who wants to decide everything for the club. That way ten Hag could get rid of him quickly and had full command in the locker room again. That's I think where Ronaldo can be really annoying.
