Karim Benzema fails to train and ‘disappears’ from Jeddah ahead of Al Ittihad game



Karim Benzema is not going through a positive spell as a professional footballer and the French striker is once again in the spotlight in Saudi Arabia. It turns out that the player has actually ‘gone missing’, just a few hours before his team play in a Saudi Pro League match.

The challenge for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal in the standings, emphasizes Al Hilal's strong performance, especially in terms of a solid defense. The mention of Cristiano Ronaldo highlights the difficulty for Al Nassr to win the domestic league title, with a slim chance hinging on a crucial match against Al Hilal in the second half of the season. The overall sentiment suggests a tough competition and a critical opportunity for Al Nassr to secure points against a formidable opponent.

If you look at the point difference between the two, it is still very possible that Al Nassr can overtake Al Hilal.
This only depends on Al Nassr's consistency for each match with a guaranteed win, and hope that at least Al Hilal has a few matches that end in a draw.
Because losing seems impossible for Al Hilal considering the very complete composition of its players.
If the point difference gets closer, I think it will be even more exciting to watch the Saudi Arabian League. Especially if Al Ittihad is also able to climb to the top 5 rankings.

That's possible only if al hilal will be missing some points. As long as al hilal keep win the upcoming games then it will be a pressure for al nassr caused by as a club that is placed in the second place then it needs to perform consistently to keep up with al hilal.
This is still remains the big question whether al hilal is going to have another flop performance. In fact, metrovic is always competing with ronaldo till this time and this is the main problem for al nassr. We can argue that if al hilal can lose some points but it can also happen with al nassr as well.
Im still standing in my choice to pick as hilal as the winner of saudi pro league this season. Al hilal has proven that if the club is now in the perfect condition compared to another club in the saudi pro league.

Mitrovic and savic are the centre of game play from al hilal this time. I can't deny the contribution from these players are a lot to the club. Mitrovic is having an ambition to beat ronaldo in the top scorer race.
These strikers are competing each other and the second leg between al hilal vs al nassr will be so good. The chance of al nassr to beat al hilal is pretty small though.

[makishart]

Full time and Al Hilal managed 2-0 from Al Feiha, this victory make Al Hilal success unbeaten 19 matches and make gap 10 points behind Al Nassr but has one match more. Its crucial victory for Al Hilal need waiting until 86th minutes for scoring first goals trough Ali Albulayhi and Aleksandar Mitrović scored one goals trough penalty kick on additional time.
First time for Al Hilal need waiting longer time for getting victory against Al Feiha with teams current standings on 12th position, usually Al Hilal easy for winning more than two goals and make goals on the first half but the victory make Al Hilal keep comfortable on the top standings position awhile.

Again, Al Hilal showed us that they have no strong competitor in SPL this season. The point gap is surely 10 points now and they are still undefeated until matchday 19. Al Nassr seems difficult to overtake the points if Al Hilal can play consistently until the end of the season. This season is simply for Al Hilal, they have a great season. Mitrović scored again in the match against Al Feiha, he continues to increase his total goal to compete for the top scorer in SPL. No doubt that Mitrović is very shining with Al Hilal, he becomes a very productive striker.

I think there is no problem although Al Hilal seems not very easy to win the match. The most important thing that they succeed to get full points to maintain their position in the top of SPL. As long as they could get full points, it means they are safe to finish this season with a title. Well, if Al Hilal wins the title, it is very unfortunate for Ronaldo. He again fails to win the SPL title.

The worst and most boring part about Al-Hilal is how little resistance they experience from their opponents. Al Feiha didn't have one shot on target and during the full 90+ minutes they had two shots (not even on target though!). I don't know but this season will be a boring one and Al-Nassr disappointed a lot of those fans that were hoping for them to win the title. Ronaldo will probably score the most goals this season, but they won't have a chance to close the gap again and have a say in the fight for the title.

How can it be a boring game? The explanation for the unfavorable odds for Al Hilal against Feiha is that their chances of winning are quite low. Feiha was a garbage team and it has no reason to all it as a good team. Al hilal has a higher standard compared to the feiha and that result was a common thing for me.
I do like this caused by i can easily won the game. The performance of al hilal is undeniably convincing and it has a strong influence on dedicated supporters, including myself. No doubt that i would like to call that SPL shall give trophy to the al hilal.
It keeps consistently take three oints from other club. It's the what i called that as a perfect team. Al Hilal is not just impressive in their offensive capabilities, but they also excel in their defensive strategies. It's really convincing me to pick al hilal in any match.
When it comes to maintaining standards, Al Hilal goes above and beyond, surpassing even its toughest competitors. No doubt that la hilla was always getting perfect result. I would like to sum up the performance from al hilal in 2023 into the one word and that's "amazing"

[QueenVera]

Im not doubting the chance of al nassr to win the game in the upcoming match. Al nassr is far stronger compared to the taawoun in so many aspects. There chance will always there. Al nassr needs to play offensively against it then im sure ronaldo's squad will be winning it.
Al taawoun is still struggling with its performance after it was being humiliated by al fateh. It was a very good momentum for al nassr caused by the lost against fateh might be disrupting the mentality from the club. This is a golden time for ronaldo and his team to destroy it.
AL nassr is very still at this moment and it can beat taawoun with perfect score. Taawoun has not been favored by bookies since it was getting odds greater than 4 while al nassr was around 1.44

It's really worthy to pick al nassr in the upcoming game caused by we do know that which team that is going to win the game. Taawoun got 5.8 which is almost 6 to win against al nassr. It's worthy to take the risk but the chance is pretty small to win against al nassr.
No doubt that if people are questioning it right now. Bookies were favoring nassr coz it has perfect performances in the last five matches. It only suffers 1 lose against al hilal.

Al Nassr are a better team compared to Taawoun, who’re struggling. Al Nassr has the title chase in mind and know how important all 3 points are in this fixture; another thing is to get goals for star man, Ronaldo and by that Al Nassr would need to go all out to attack Taawoun. And with the confidence they've got from their recent 2-5 victory against Al ittihad away from home,  I  believe they'll do better when they meet Taawoun.

 Al Nassr are the best pick for this fixture and another wonderful pick will be how many rains of goals we’ll have in this match as I see Al Nassr having over 3 goals in this match. It’ll be not just a risk but quite foolish to give the win to Taawoun because they’re struggling and might not be able to match the strength of Al Nassr who are really bent on catching up to Al-Hilal, I don't think they'll likely drop more points.

[Jody.Drummer]

If you look at the point difference between the two, it is still very possible that Al Nassr can overtake Al Hilal.
This only depends on Al Nassr's consistency for each match with a guaranteed win, and hope that at least Al Hilal has a few matches that end in a draw.
Because losing seems impossible for Al Hilal considering the very complete composition of its players.
If the point difference gets closer, I think it will be even more exciting to watch the Saudi Arabian League. Especially if Al Ittihad is also able to climb to the top 5 rankings.

Someone need to give hard tackle to Mitrovic, so he will get an injury or out from season, this will make Al Hilal lose their primary striker.

It really looks hard for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal, I'd say Al Nassr is stronger than Al Hilal, but in terms of consistency Al Hilal is better than Al Nassr. Al Nassr need to import more players to compete against Al Hilal.

Even if Al Nassr can continuously win in every match, at the same time Al Hilal also has to lose many points from the matches they play. The problem now is that they are very strong and very difficult to beat and even getting a draw from them is something difficult to do. Difficult doesn't mean it can't be done, it just takes time and Al Hilal are unlucky to say the least.
Al Nassr don't have to focus on that, they just have to focus on themselves, how they can always get 3 points. One match they can capitalize on is their meeting with Al Hilal. In the first meeting they lost and that made their point difference away, in the second meeting later do not let the same thing repeat because it will make them more distant from Al Hilal.

[Volgastallion]

Very strange what happen with Benzema i dont have any clue, i only read in someplace that the new coach put the team to a double training session after bad results, but i dont think for that Benzema is gonna dissapear, maybe he is in talks with some european team? I dont think that but.... you never know.

Karim Benzema fails to train and ‘disappears’ from Jeddah ahead of Al Ittihad game



Karim Benzema is not going through a positive spell as a professional footballer and the French striker is once again in the spotlight in Saudi Arabia. It turns out that the player has actually ‘gone missing’, just a few hours before his team play in a Saudi Pro League match.

The former Real Madrid player did not train on either Thursday or Friday with the rest of his Al Ittihad teammates. As a result, he will not be included in the squad for the match against Al Taee.

According to the Saudi media outlet Al-Riyadiya, Benzema has in fact left the port city of Jeddah, with the reason behind his unscheduled trip in the middle of the season currently unknown. His coach, Marcelo Gallardo, did not want to explain the motive, a move which has not gone down well with neither the club’s fans nor the local media. “He may be in disagreement with the club (...) but that does not excuse him because he does not make any effort”.

I have already commented on this many times, and I will repeat myself once again, Saudi Arabian fans are not moderate fans, they are very aggressive fans and think that just one player is enough to win all the games and they have a lot of memory short, last season this benzema team was champion of that league but this season, because they are in that current position, they immediately rushed to fire the coach, which made it possible for them to become champions last season, because for these Arabs, when they buy a player, they They begin to think that the players and coaches they bought became the property of the Arabs. This thought is due to the fact that these Arab people have lived under dictatorship for centuries

European players who are used to living in democracy, they will have a lot of difficulties adapting to this league and I have always said that the day Ronaldo retires and leaves Saudi Arabia, all good famous players who went to Saudi Arabia They will leave Saudi Arabia as soon as their contract ends. I don't see this league having the same reputation in 4 years. I hope Benzema is well and shows up and tells us what happened to him. It's sad that Real Madrid's best player from past seasons is going through this, I was sad when he left Real Madrid, as a Real Madrid fan I thought he didn't make a good decision to leave Real Madrid for Saudi Arabia. the greed of money blinds people

I think it is very wrong for Al Ittihat fans to react so much to Benzema. Football is a team game and Al Ittihat is a team with star players, but if you cannot be a team, the results may not be good.
If Benzema is even this way
He could easily continue his football at Real Madrid. Especially this season, when Real Madrid had a striker problem in many matches due to injuries, he would easily be included in the squad.
I think his departure is not just fan criticism, there are definitely other reasons. If the coach or Al Ittihat executives make a statement, we will learn what is behind the scenes of the incident.
The intermediate transfer period is starting in Europe. At worst, he plays for a team in his own country. Someone who has already earned a lot of money by this age should not need money from Arabia.

The overall sentiment suggests a tough competition and a critical opportunity for Al Nassr to secure points against a formidable opponent.

The 10 point difference between Al Hilal and Al Nassr is very difficult to overcome, whereas today Al Nassr has to play away against a slightly stronger club like Al-Taawon.
We can see from the statistical data that Al nassr was defeated and humiliated at home by Al-Taawon with a score of 0-2. This is a very bad result for Al Nassr. Meanwhile, in today match, Al Nassr has to play away and this is the difficulty that Al Nassr will face. in fact I would not bet on this match because it is a little difficult to predict the final result of the match.
But it just speculation that Al Nassr is not very consistent and it seems like betting on a total score under 3 seems better than betting on the club winning which very difficult because this match has almost similar odds but double odds like Al-Taawon or Al Nassr also seem comfortable.

I disagree. I think Al Hilal has better players in every position. In the current match, Al Tawoon took a 1-0 lead against Al Nassr. CR7, who made Al Nassr famous, played there. Other than that, I don't think it has any appeal. Al Hilal, on the other hand, made logical transfers and improved its team in every field and brought it to this level.

Al Nassr is the most famous SPL club in the world and their popularity gave extended to Europe, and everyone wants to see them play football but with the GOAT, Cristiano Ronaldo. A footballer lover can not make compliement towards Saudi Arabia football without mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo who have been outstanding in all rounds and he's quite the most important player in the history of European and Saudi football. He's no stopping, rather he's creating more popularity for himself in Asia and that's the fundamental point he should make.

I think Benzema had many other problems besides club, there are many negative talks and memes about him on social media. Btw Saudi Arabian fans are very aggressive and expect to win only from one great player because they pay jackpot. Karim Benzema's salary is 100 million euros per season. He gets millions of Euros per week. Saudi also wants Benzema as ambassador for FIFA 2030 world cup because they are bidding to host. I don't know how long they plan to pay jackpot to each star football player because they should get a return on their investment but it seems that they are super serious and will do whatever it takes to transfer the football world from Europe to Saudi.

I thought Al Nassr would win, they scored 3 goals and are leading the match. However, the interesting thing is that Ronaldo had no influence on these 3 goals. Ronaldo neither scored a goal nor made an assist. The goals came from midfielders and defenders. In fact, this situation reveals what quality feet Al Nassr has. They get 3 points with 3 goals from an important away game. They can win even if Ronaldo doesn't affect the score. Of course, without Ronaldo, the viewing rates of the matches may be different (lower).

Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

That is a big trouble for him if true. I mean we are talking about a situation that should not be acceptable in any club in the world, but when we are talking about a nation with such strict rules, it's really not that easy for him to get away with these things. First stop will be making sure that he is not getting paid, if you are willing to not go to work, then you should be willing to not get paid as well which is why I doubt that he is caring about that.

Another thing would be that he should be punished with code of conduct as well, you need to let the team know. We are going to see who is bigger, Benzema or the team, because team should let him go with a rightful cause without paying him if this is true, the more they don't do it, the more power they are giving to Benzema as well. f he is allowed, next stop would be other players starting to do the same thing, because they would say Benzema did it and nothing happened, so I could potentially do it as well.

It was a huge win for Al Nassr tonight as they continued their good away performance. Their hit man, Cristiano Ronaldo did not fail to join the goal scorers as he closed the scoring at the 92nd minutes to end the match at one goal to four in their favour. Despite this win , Al Nasrr is still lagging behind the top team Al Hilal by seven points. It is not clear if this season is settled for Al Hilal because external matches have a way of making big teams lose focus and Al Hilal is famous for that. Al Nassr just need to continue winning their matches and hope their greatest rival flops to reduce the gap between them.

I dont think that but.... you never know.

I don't think Benzema will ever leave Saudi Arabia as a football player anymore. Even if he doesn't sign with the club, he stays in the team and continues to receive his money. He's considered too old for football now. He's not sure if he's ready for another European adventure or not. I think Benzema should stay in Saudi Arabia and focus on doing his best.

[Franctoshi]

There is no doubt that Al Nassr has already win the match because it will not be easy for Al Taawoun to comeback and take the lead within the added minutes. Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

The game finished, and Al Nassr comfortably won the game with 1-4 against their host team Al Taawoun and further reduced the point gap they have between them and their league leaders Al Hilal down to 7 points. It was really an entertaining first half and second period of games. There is still hope for them to likely catch up points with Al Hilal if they continue to win their games and if Al Hilal happens to drop points, more games ahead to play and anything can happen.

It's impossible mate. AL nassr will stay at the second place till the end of season. Al hilal is too strong and al nassr will never ever able to replace it. Al hilal is the perfect team in the saudi pro league by seeing the stats recorded by the club.
I saw that al nassr was nothing for al hilal and it has proven with the result when al hilal has been destroying al nassr with a lot of goals. So, we will be seeing al hilal to win the game this time. There will be another chance for al nassr to surpass al hilal.
The gap will become even bigger otherwise. We will be seeing more people to realize how strong al hilal is right now. It will be able to perform even better soon. Al hilal must admit that if al nassr was not a worthy competitor for al hilal.

So far Al Hilal has been impressive in almost every match, and they have won 17 of the 19 matches, 2 of which ended in a draw. if I'm not mistaken, Al Hilal has won its last 12 matches. isn't this a very impressive result, for a team that doesn't have big names like Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane, Firmino. however, Al Hilal was able to progress with its positive trend and was able to overthrow several of its rivals in the first meeting.
IMO, Al Hilal's potential to progress with its positive trend is quite large and they have a chance to do so. however, that doesn't mean that the Saudi Pro League trophy is within the grasp of Jorge Jesus' squad, after all, this competition still has many matches remaining until the end of the season. this means that the Al Hilal coach's task will be increasingly difficult to maintain the fitness of his players and avoid players getting injured in future matches. in this way, Al Hilal can consistently maintain its positive trend.

However, this does not mean that Al Nassr has lost hope in competing for the trophy this season. like I said, there's still a lot of fight left. if Al Hilal slips in the next few matches, it will open up opportunities for Ronaldo and his colleagues. but with the condition, Al Nassr cannot miss every match with a win. the goal is to maintain a point gap from the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. currently, Al Nassr has just defeated Al Taaewon with a score of 1-4. with this result, now Al Nassr is only 7 points different from Al Hilal.

[Xxmodded]

I think Benzema had many other problems besides club, there are many negative talks and memes about him on social media. Btw Saudi Arabian fans are very aggressive and expect to win only from one great player because they pay jackpot. Karim Benzema's salary is 100 million euros per season. He gets millions of Euros per week. Saudi also wants Benzema as ambassador for FIFA 2030 world cup because they are bidding to host. I don't know how long they plan to pay jackpot to each star football player because they should get a return on their investment but it seems that they are super serious and will do whatever it takes to transfer the football world from Europe to Saudi.

Karim Benzema on difficult position right now because expected will be success with Al Ittihad in this season his team has underperform and loss expected for defending domestic league tittle in this season. Apart from Karim Benzema being the ambassador for Saudi Arabia for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, Benzema's performance in his first season in the Saudi Pro League was far below fans' expectations with a salary of up to 100 million euros per season.

Looking form Karim Benzema statistic in the first season with Al Ittihad not really bad scoring 9 goals and 5 assist of 15 matches is more expected by fans but have problem with Al Ittihad performance dropped from top standings position with 25 points left from Al Hilal on top position standings awhile.

There is no doubt that Al Nassr has already win the match because it will not be easy for Al Taawoun to comeback and take the lead within the added minutes. Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

It was really an entertaining first half and second period of games. There is still hope for them to likely catch up points with Al Hilal if they continue to win their games and if Al Hilal happens to drop points, more games ahead to play and anything can happen.

So far, it is hard to pass Al-Hilal which not only rarely drop points but they beat the other teams with many goals. The other advantage that Al-Hilal have and make them solid is the fact that many of its players score goals. This characteristic is hardly found in the other Saudi Pro League teams.
Al-Nassr 55 goals were mainly scored by Cristiano Ronaldo (20 goals) and Talisca (11 goals). Ronaldo is being chased by Al-Hilal forward Mitrovic with 17 goals out of the 59 goals scored in 19 matches.
