Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[rendravolt]

It seems we are going to see Saudi teams start raiding the top European teams and buying more players from these teams with the huge money they usually offer.
During last summer many players joined these teams but there is a limit for the Saudis and they can only use eight foreign players in their teams.
Now according to the news from the Telegraph, they want to increase the number of foreign players to ten.

It is not surprising that in the end the Saudi league started to be more ruthless in invading the top European leagues and they did not hesitate to spend funds to get the players they wanted. The Saudi League has everything that European players want, especially large salaries and also the guarantee of abundant wealth if they want to sign a contract with a Saudi League team.

It's just that this is not comparable to a more brilliant career in Europe by winning other prestigious titles and I think it comes back to each individual's view. They could come here for one or two seasons just to make a lot of money and if they still get the full attention of the teams in Europe then they will still be able to keep coming back later. The addition of slots for foreign players also proves that the Saudi league still has full control to control the market for all players throughout the world.

It is not surprising that in the end the Saudi league started to be more ruthless in invading the top European leagues and they did not hesitate to spend funds to get the players they wanted. The Saudi League has everything that European players want, especially large salaries and also the guarantee of abundant wealth if they want to sign a contract with a Saudi League team.

The league is growing but it has yet had everything European players want, it is not true to say so. Some players will want to join it especially old players but some other players will want to stay in Europe especially young players or players who are at best years in their career.

I agree that with very deep budget, top clubs in Saudi Professional League, can spend a lot of money to buy many star players from Europe. Their biggest challenge is to convince star players to join them as with very big transfer offer, clubs in Europe will nearly not reject offers from Saudi Professional League clubs.

It's just that this is not comparable to a more brilliant career in Europe by winning other prestigious titles and I think it comes back to each individual's view. They could come here for one or two seasons just to make a lot of money and if they still get the full attention of the teams in Europe then they will still be able to keep coming back later. The addition of slots for foreign players also proves that the Saudi league still has full control to control the market for all players throughout the world.

It is easy decision for old players to join this league and get a lot of money just within 1 to 3 seasons. It is more than what they earned in previous seasons of their career in some cases. With young players, they can do it as well but they have to risk their career by doing this. However, there is example like a Belgium player Witsel who moved to Chinese Super League then returned to Europe and played well for Dortmund.

If this really comes true, all clubs under PIF ownership will be more enthusiastic in hunting for players in the upcoming transfer market. But not in the winter transfer market but in the summer transfer market. And actually, several clubs that were under PIF ownership had a large number of player transfers and there was one European player or several players who had not even been registered with the club because of the restrictions on European players who were allowed to be registered with the club at that time. So if a new policy is finally created then all the players they have purchased will be able to be registered.

But if this news is true then it looks like there are already other top European players who are likely to join. so you need a place to register them when they have been successfully purchased. So a new policy must be created immediately for this matter. I personally hope this actually happens. Because after all, the Arab League will really become more exciting and fierce.

Big big game ahead today, between to of the most powerfull teams with big names in both teams, im talking about the crestfallen Al ittihad, and the second in the league the Al Nasrrr of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al itihad needs to win to recover the form, and Al nasrr needs to win to not lose more terrain in the fight for the championship.

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

In the match of Al-Ittihad vs Al-Nassr team, I see more possibility of Al-Nassr team to win. Because Al-Nassr team played very well in the previous match. But I am waiting to see how well Al-Nassr team can do in this match tomorrow.  Al-Nassr team is still ahead in the points table of the two teams. Al-Nassr team is in the 2nd position of the points table. Al-Ittihad is in the 6th position of the points table. Al-Ittihad team did not play well in the previous matches but in this match two  If the performance of the team's players is equal, the chances of the match being drawn will be high.

[QueenVera]

In my opinion, these are odds that have been carefully calculated by the bookies considering that Ittihad's condition is not very stable, whereas Al Nassr looks stronger when compared to Ittihad, so it is only natural that Stake.com issues quite large odds even though in fact they are quite large for a club like Ittihad. Ittihad recently experienced 2 consecutive defeats which caused him to lose 6 points and continue to decline from the top 5 positions so that now he is in 6th place with 28 points compared to the point difference which is quite large with Al Nassr so it is natural that Al Nassr will definitely be the favorite bettors.

It's true that the odds are too big, but if you're lucky, the gambler will get a bigger profit because Ittihad is very strong when playing at home and has only experienced 1 defeat against Al Ahli, so betting on Ittihad is also a good option if you want to get a bigger profit, but The risk of losing is quite high because the opponent is Al Nassr who is not easy to beat.

Al Nassr is one big team in the SPL that when fixed for a game, they've got some quantuble high chance of being victorious. I'd say for all teams in that league, it's kind of like Al Hilal being the only team that may give Al Nassr a tough time. The others, yes, may be good in one little way or the other but Al Nassr just seems better off. However I think they need to wake up from their slumber.

 Even though they've played in a way that seems so relaxed and they've dropped in a few points, there's still this confidence that they'd still be able to meet up and win the trophy this season. Although it's not really advisable that they keep up with relaxing though. But they're just a better side team. So definitely the betting stakes weren't wrong to give them odds that depicts them being the higher chances team.

[tbterryboy]

I was reminded of the past when Cristiano chose to play at Al Nassr for a fantastic fee, and the Arab League became famous and finally until now the Arab League is increasingly popular and the presence of top players entering the Arab League has made the Arab League popular, such as the entry of Benzema, Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and others.

but I think going from 8 players to 10 players will certainly make the Arab league popular and honestly I want to see what the Saudi Arabian league does in this regard. but this is good information, yes we can only look and watch. But honestly I want to see E. Haaland playing in the Arab League,  but of course it will definitely be difficult to materialize because Manchester City definitely needs E. Haaland.

I think adding players to 10 is extraordinary and indeed adding players to 10 will make the Saudi Arabian league even more top.

No doubt things are turning into good way for the Saudi Professional League but still it's going to take long time for having good quality and tough challenging performance just because of this many players not accepting offers and want to play here in this league as they have no competitiveness like UEFA competitions and real time challenges like they are having in European Leagues which are currently best in the business.

Having players like Haaland is fascinating, but I have doubt he will join in near future because currently he is young and want to do some special which is possible in English Premier League and UEFA Champions League but not here with many other youngsters and challenging players are also rejected to play here, but doors are open for them with we can expect them in near future they can join and have something good from this league.

The money is the biggest factor for these transfers from Europe to Saudi Arabia. Saudi teams are targeting the big players who are above 30 right now or have been in bad form for a reason. They grab them in their team after offering a huge amount of money and probably  4, 5 times more money than they were being paid. I mean this is a huge amount of money and anyone would be considering it before deciding anything. They target the players who feel that they can’t achieve much in Europe anymore so they join Saudi for money. I don’t see any young players joining Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi league is growing and getting interesting. But they still need to develop their own nation's football to be on the same level as European competitions. They are very far from being as fun as the European competitions but I believe in 10-20 years they can achieve it. Stars players are joining and the fans who follow the players are watching them play.

It seems like that saudi pro league has been experimenting through bought some players like ronaldo but it was surprisingly gave saudi pro league a lot of impact on everything. This may also become the main reason why saudi becomes even more ruthless with it.
There may be many european players to come soon and this is very good for the team. I thought that saudi will not be trying to extending or changing the plan but saudi is reconsidering it right now.

It's just that this is not comparable to a more brilliant career in Europe by winning other prestigious titles and I think it comes back to each individual's view.

Since there will be many european players with big names to go out from their prime era then saudi pro league can also act as a nwe place for them to continue their passions to be footballers.
Im not against it but the european clubs may also think to be careful with it. Saudi pro league will be starting to use more money to attract more players to come to the league. This will be greatly affecting the league soon.

Al itihad needs to win to recover the form, and Al nasrr needs to win to not lose more terrain in the fight for the championship.

Al-Ittihad vs Al-Nassr is a big match indeed with the two teams having crossed objectives. Al-Ittihad with its bad results need to win to stay close to the others and Al-Nassr have to win to keep a chance with Al-Hilal.
Anyway, the result for the moment is Al-Ittihad 1 - 1 Al-Nassr after the goal scored by Hamdallah first then the penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo. We will see which team will win

[Captain Corporate]

I feel like there is a big situation with a loss by Al Nassr if they lose this game. I have to think that thry will need to change something major. I believe that the best thing we need to consider the team has to disband. Obviously you cant just assume that they will fire every player, thats just not possible. However, I believe that it will definitely cause a ton of trouble for plenty of people and during the summer from the manager to the players they will have a huge turnover. I believe that the best thing to do at this point we should be considering all this mo ey was wasted if this is the best thry could do with this team.

Al-Ittihad team did not play well in the previous matches but in this match two  If the performance of the team's players is equal, the chances of the match being drawn will be high.

30 minutes passed and the score was still as strong as 1-1, after Al Nassr could equalize the score in the 19th minute through the spot which was well executed by Ronaldo. Al Nassr dominated the game, but they struggled to penetrate the defense built by Al Ittihad. If Al Ittihad continues to get pressure like this then it is not impossible that Al Nassr will be able to steal another goal. It looks like the first half match will end with a draw.
If in the first half they cannot change the score, then in the second half both clubs must apply a new strategy to be able to provide a greater chance of winning. That is the job of a coach who must be good at seeing what happens in the first half.

The match has started now and is already in the 30th minute and the current score is still tied at 1-1, in fact Al Ittihad can still play well in this match by managing to score a quick goal in the 14th minute. Even if we consider that Al Ittihad position has decreased in Saudi Pro League standings but ya,atleast Al Ittihad still has the ability to play well and has a chance to win too.

But yes, because at this moment at least Al Nassr is also in contention for the title at the top of the standings, it is still quite possible for Al Nassr to beat Al Ittihad in this match . But even so,ofcourse it will still not be easy for Al Nassr to win away against Al Ittihad in this match, but at least Al Nassr will have a good effort so as not to lose by Al Itthiad home team in this match.

Hmmm, the match is really tougher than I expected, I expected Al-Nassr to find the back of the net first, but Al-Hilal made a loud crowd to be in amusement at the early stages of the game, and it was a fine shot from their Midfielder Hamdallah that found the back of the net, what a beautiful assist from their striker and current Ballon D'or holder Karim Benzema, he's finally begin to do what was expected from him, and I believe Al-Hilal fans to be expecting a goal from him in this match.

 Al-Nassr are not taking any chances in the games, and have replied twice to be two goals ahead in the game, what a beautiful come back they made before the end of the 1st half, this teams is strong enough to add more goals and I won't be suprised if they add another goal before the end of the 1st half. Cr7 has scored again to add to his winning streak, what a beautiful penalty kick and Al-Hilal keeper Abdullah Ibrahim Al Muaiouf couldn't stand a chance to catch the ball.

At the end of the first half, Al Nassr Riy.adh team is leading 2-1. I expected to see a competitive match. And the first half was very exciting. But the home team Ittihad Jeddah is not able to dominate. Hamdallah's goal gave Ittihad the lead in just 15 minutes of the first half. But Ronaldo equalized the match by scoring from the penalty spot in just 4 minutes. And in the 38th minute, Anderson Talisca's goal gave Al Nassr the lead.

I expected to see a better performance from Benzema. But Benzema's performance in the first half was not good. This match is essentially Benzema vs Ronaldo. If Benzema can perform well in the second half then the match will become more exciting

I believe that the best thing to do at this point we should be considering all this mo ey was wasted if this is the best thry could do with this team.

Al-Nassr is now winning the game by two goals to one after Talisca scored the second goal. Talisca has become one of the biggest strikers in the Saudi league. In less than forty-five minutes he has gotten a goal and three shots on target.

I don't know the reason why you said the team should be disbanded. They might not be a the top or the league but they are not also doing badly. All the coach needs to do is release some players that are underperforming and buy more players to balance the team. Disbanding a team would have a negative influence than the good impact the management might be targeting. We cannot predict the outcome of the second half but if the game ends this way Al-Nassr FC will maintain its second position with forty-three points, seven points short of Al-Hilal who defeated Abha last Thursday.

It's just that this is not comparable to a more brilliant career in Europe by winning other prestigious titles and I think it comes back to each individual's view. They could come here for one or two seasons just to make a lot of money and if they still get the full attention of the teams in Europe then they will still be able to keep coming back later. The addition of slots for foreign players also proves that the Saudi league still has full control to control the market for all players throughout the world.

I think the Saudi Arabia league is meant for players who have already gotten the fame and now just wants the cash to cool off their career and I don't think any player who is still enjoying his prime football will ever go to join the Saudi Arabia league despite all the money they will splash on you as a player so we should all let it and by the way we have seen similar trend before at the peak of the Chinese league that caused same way by drawing all the then star who are at the rest of their career to the league but with time it all ended and I think same thing is gonna happen here

[GbitG]

Yeah that's it. Al-Itthad equalized the game at 2-2. A. Hamdallah scored twice against Al-Nassr, and this time, I mean, the second goal is just insane because he hit the powerful headers towards the net and got the equalizer. Benzenma is quite in the second half, but he makes such a fantastic stream towards what the team needs. He provided an assist in the first half and also made some good chances for his team to get a victory. And maybe possibly Kareem Benzenma should do something for his team and take the game in the winning way, but on the other hand, there is the man. Who should not be underestimated? He has the special quality of winning the game despite Ronaldo's many comebacks, and if Al-Nassr focuses a little bit on Ronaldo, then the game can change. I wish Al-Ithid wins. I will be very happy if Al-Ithhad win the match. but let's see what happens next until 90 minutes.

I don't understand what's the point of moving football from Europe to Saudi. We Europeans love football very much and made it one of the most popular sport in the world. We play it from our childhood, have many football clubs and leagues, it's just our sport, ours and South Americans'. South Americans give birth to one of the most talented players but leagues and clubs are all in Europe. EU is a huge with huge population, it's super easy to travel from Germany to France and back. If they move football from Europe to Saudi by paying billions of euros, how are they going to fill the seats on Stadiums? How are they going to buy that atmosphere that you have on Anfield? They might buy celebrities and attract attention right now but I don't think they will manage to steal football from EU. Even if they steal, as far as I know, it's not that popular in their culture.

[ajanwalker]

Al Nasr, who played away, won the match, which featured a goal duel between Al Ittihat and Al Nasr, 2-5. Ronaldo scored two penalty goals in this match. While the match continued in a 2-2 draw, Al Ittihat's Fabinho received a red card in the 66th minute, which changed the course of the match. In the 68th minute, Ronaldo put his team ahead 2-3 with a penalty goal. Sadio Mane, who came on stage after these goals, scored 2 points and Al Nasr finished the match with a 2-5 victory. With this victory, Al Nasr increased its points to 43 and reduced the point difference with Al Hilal to 7. Al Hilal has a big advantage for the championship. So far, no team has been able to defeat Team Al Hilal.
