Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Solokan]

Ali Al Bulayhi performed very well against Al-feiha as did Aleksandar Mitrovic who successfully scored a goal with a good penalty kick. Yes, of course Al-hilal's victory in their last match against Al-feiha resulted in Al-hilal getting points which of course will make it very difficult for Al-nassr to top the points.

yes of course in the Friendly match Al-hilal will compete against Messi's team, namely Inter miami and we will see how strong they will be against Inter miami but I personally predict Al-hilal will win against Inter miami because I think Al-hilal's current performance is good Of course Al-Hilal players have a strong defense like K. Koulibaly and in the attacking department there is Mitrovic who is of course very great and always scores goals and the others also have good strength. but of course at inter miami there is messi who of course messi is a great player.

I'm sure the match between Al-Hilal and Inter Miami will be eagerly awaited, but of course what we are really looking forward to is the Al-Nassr match against Inter Miami because Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will meet in that match.

Yes, we will see Messi's greatness in the next match.

Spending too much money on the Arabian teams and especially in the Saudi Arabia during this summer made many people think about this country and now Valentín Botella Nicolás the CEO of FutbolJobs, started talking about the players they have so far.
He thinks Saudi Arabia is trying to make the structure of their football with the players they buy from top European teams to get progress.




https://www.marca.com/mx/futbol/2024/01/09/659d4716e2704e31758b45bd.html

It seems that this is nothing new and considering Saudi Arabia's behavior of continuing to invest money to get European players, the aim is definitely to attract fans and tourists who want to visit their country to watch more competitive football matches. The presence of these European players will certainly have a big impact on economic development in Saudi Arabia and they are not wrong in doing so and their targets are right on target.

Now it's just a matter of how the money they have earned so far can be re-invested in European players because the more even teams get European players, the more the Saudi league will become more famous and not just dominated by a few great teams. This is a challenge as a league that has made European football critics start to worry about the existence of the Saudi league.

[len01]

However, this is still unsustainable project if after like 5 or 10 years, they fail to build up a next stronger domestic player generation. A domestic league must be built from its foundation, with domestic players rather than built on top of it, with foreign players.

You have a good point, and all the fantastic spending on buying old players from Europe should only be a short-term step because if it is done for the long term no matter how much money they make then in the future they could go bankrupt because they will not get commensurate income and should progress the league is also seen by the birth of good talent from the league country itself which will influence the achievements of the national team in international tournaments.
However, it seems like how they are building their current league is not only to become more popular but also to form a new image of their country which is more open and likes sports because Saudi Arabia is also quite active in being able to organize tournaments in other types of sports.

a few months ago I said that it would be better if all the teams in the SPL tried to build talent from native players from saudi arabia, such as building young players from academic teams, like european teams which usually build academic teams for young players who have quality talent. and once his talent becomes very high the SPL team can use it to strengthen the team and build the SPL name even bigger.
so buying european players actually makes sense, but you dont need too many, just bring in star players like Ronaldo, Benzema and Neymar to make the name of the SPL known throughout the world and the rest still use native players.

but I really understand what the aim of the SPL is currently recruiting european players in large numbers, it is likely to have an impact on the experience for native players as if european players will provide playing style experience and can be emulated by native saudi arabian players but if this is done in the long term it doesn't seem to be very good.

[PokerBetting]

I believe they overestimated the long term effect those investments would inspire. There was a lot of enthusiasm and also excitement and curiosity around the world. People wanted to see how Ronaldo is doing in the Saudi Professional League and then several players decided to go there. Players with a lot of following from the fans on social media and other channels. They thought that younger talents would decide to go there and they could start a small revolution in the world of soccer, but you can now easily see that the excitement is vanishing every single day. I am not even checking the results anymore if I don't have to and I am sure that other people don't care as much anymore as they did when the big news was out that Ronaldo would go there.

If a player's career is still in its nascent stages, it's a given that they will continue to choose playing in Europe. For instance, Chelsea's English player Ruben Loftus-Cheek, chelsea has agreed on a deal with a club in Arab Saudi for transfer. However, the player has opted to continue europa join and  playing for AC Milan instead. Despite his age, the player is no longer a youngster. Yet, he still prefers playing in Europe. It's evident that established stars with a proven track record would rather play in Europe than in leagues such as the American league or second-tier leagues in Asia.

Saudi Pro League are still break and this league will be starting again next month and to ensure the fitness players always be in the good shape then some of teams will do some of friendly matches including Al Hilal and Al Nassr so their matches against Inter Miami later is not more than pre season matches for Inter Miami because MLS will starting new season soon and in my opinion nothing special from those matches especially Messi and Ronaldo have been meet plenty before when they still playing at Real Madrid and Barcelona
Talking about the schedules for Al Hilal and Al Nassr for next month both teams has successfully to qualified at round of 16 of Asian Champion League and Al Hilal will fight against FC Sepahan and Al Nassr vs Al Feiha and on the paper Al Hilal and Al Nassr most likely will be able to beat their opponents without any problem

In the friendly match between Al-hilal vs Inter Miami I will fully support Al-hilal. Because I want to prove that Saudi Arabian football is now much more developed than before. And one proof of the development of football in the SPL is the Al-hilal club which is undefeated to date in the SPL.

But if we talk about the match that everyone is most looking forward to, of course the answer is the Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami match. Because two European football legends will meet in this match. Cristiano Ronaldo will finally fight on the field against Messi. This will definitely evoke a little nostalgia for us football fans who used to often see these two great players meet in matches, especially when they were both still in Laliga. Football really reached its peak hype at that time. Because both of them always put on a great game which until now has not been replaced. For the Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami match, I think it will end in a draw.

Im waiting for mitrovic to face messi soon. It will be very interesting friendly match caused by we do know that how big messi was in the past and he will be playing against al hilal which was the strongest team in the SPL right now. Im thinking that the gap is too far consider intermiami was still placing at the bottom last season. Even though the MLS has not yet commenced, I have reservations about Miami's chances of making any progress. The match against al hilal can be used to measure the performance from the club. That's an interesting match to be waited soon.

I would prefer intermiami to face al nassr coz it will make ronaldo to face messi although it will be friendly match. The result from this friendly match will make everything clear regaring many people who keep debate which was better between MLS or SPL.
I hope everything will be going smoothly and al hilal will be able to destroy intermiami soon. By comparing the SPL and the MLS, it will become evident that the former is far superior, ultimately suggesting that Messi made an unfortunate mistake by joining the latter.

Im sure that al hilal will be winnin the match very soon.

Al Hilal vs Inter Miami; a match to watch as Al Hilal are currently the biggest club in the SPL since they stay up the table. I think this match is key especially to help Inter Miami develop more before the commencement of the season. Though Inter Miami might not come close to how the Saudi Club perform currently but they’re lucky to have Balon D’or winner, Messi in their team. And Mitrovic playing upfront against Messi’s team will be a delight to watch on how he performs.

 Comparing the SPL and MLS isn’t supposed to happen because currently the SPL proves to be better than the MLS especially with the European recruits the SPL are garnering every transfer market, Al Hil will sure win Inter Miami, Miami might have one of the greatest player in their team but football regards team work and good squad depth and when it comes to those Al-hilal are better than Inter Miami.

Inter Miami is likely to face challenges as they are not considered a strong team. Their success may have been influenced by the outstanding performances of Messi and Busquets. While the Saudi Club is currently performing well, but anyways Inter Miami has gained global attention by becoming the most searched sports team on Google in 2023. The SPL is perceived as better than the MLS, though opinions may vary. Each person has a different perspective and reasons to define their preferred league.

As the stage is set, and with limited time between games, fans hope the match will be televised for everyone to watch without disappointment.

They understand the market, when else are we going to see two of the best players in the world meeting each other than in a friendly. I'm sure there will be more talk about who is the best between the two of them. Lol
I'd love to see them play together at the same club before they decide to retire, but it seems like a very unlikely thing to happen. They are so hard to put together, I don't know which club would want to do that. Previously Paris Saint Germain were rumored to have them in the same club, but that didn't happen. I think it would be the most beautiful gift for footbal lovers to see these two players in the same club. we will see the greatness of those who will work together in the club.

I'm also very impatient and want to see how Mitrovic faces Messi and Ronaldo faces even though it would be a fantastic reunion.
I will choose Al Hilal and Al Nassr who will beat Inter Miami and I also support you that the victory even though it is only a friendly match will prove that the Saudi pro league is one of the more popular leagues and also proves that actually Messi's chosen club is not too strong to can beat Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
Even though I never bet on friendly matches, maybe when the match starts soon I will place a bet to get a profit from the match.

Yes but this is where it falls short of a real strategy. This has been said before and I agree that you can't import a whole soccer world from one continent to another by buying a few great players. It makes only a small difference. See how much Ligue 1 changed because one club got a billion of investment. What happened? PSG is winning the league every year and people lose interest because it is boring. I think this shows how difficult it is to build a culture, an infrastructure, and all the things that the fans enjoy and the players are living for when they decide to become professionals.

Money will always be a short-term solution and we all know that. I think almost everyone here would sign a contract with hundreds of millions of dollars, but players stop playing for the sake of playing and start playing for the sake of earning. It is not the same. That is a problem Saudi Arabia can't solve with billions.

[FanEagle]

It may feel like the game doesn't mean anything, but it still does mean a lot. Al-Nassr got a lot of players for a lot of money, they have spent way more than what Inter Miami spent, and yet Inter Miami got some players that are quality level players for very cheap as well, so it should not be an uneven match, and any time Messi vs Ronaldo happens, it means something and it's fun to watch and the hardcore fans will take it to mean something for sure.

I think it's quite important to see them have one last to go, I do not know they will ever face each other, this could very well be the last game they ever play against each other, should be something to see, should definitely end up with a lot of fun memories when they hang it up.

Ronaldo and Messi are known currently to be world football stars and they have this effect on every team they're in, the fans and football in general. They're two comparisons that just can't be exhausted. Their style of football varies but are top notch.
Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr had impact on the club in terms of fan building and gameplay, Al Nassr came to the spotlight and they had more recognition and views in their games than before.For Messi, he has thesame effect in Inter Miami as Ronaldo did in Al Nassr. The both players are appreciated in their respective teams and they're the reason why our of the blue the two clubs are watched closely by fans.

 For the game between Al Nassr and Inter Miami, there's a reason why it's fixed and other than normal European contests, that game is one that'd be the center of attraction in the world. Everyone wants to see the world best players against themselves one more time. I anticipate the game also, although I percieve that Al Nassr would have an upper hand against Inter Miami but let me not predict.The game is one that'll surely bring back the most heated argument of who's the best player amongst the two men and I really can't wait for the result.

Messi and Ronaldo are both getting old but still both players are in the good form and even there is a high chance to see a huge interest when these two teams Al Nassr and Inter Miami face each other. However, I think their performance of Messi sis is not good anymore and he is far from the good days he had before while Ronaldo is even performing better when he gets more experienced and comparing these two players can say Ronaldo got a better situation.

While Lionel Messi isn't as prolific as he used to be before he joined Inter Miami, Cristiano Ronaldo have been very clinical in front of goal as he finished last year as the highest goalscorer in world football with 54 goals. But despite the Messi's current form, football fans all over the world will still want to watch him play against Cristiano Ronaldo again because of the kind of records both players share in football and how consistent they've been over the years.

The two football super stars have dominated football for almost the last two decades and it is believed that football has never experienced such rivalry between two players for that long and it'll be almost impossible to see such great rivalry again. Hopefully, their clubs goes on to organise a game that'll will see football fans watch the duo again for the last time

I think he underestimated the Saudi league. Benzema faced a more difficult league than he expected. I think he should make an effort to repay the salary paid to him. Neymar was injured almost before he could play a match and he could not stand out either. Benzema also fell below expectations. Again, one of the best in the league is Cristiano Ronaldo. Firmino did not make the expected impact either. The stars are fading away one by one.

Who underestimates SPL? Benzema?
I think he doesn't underestimate SPL, he is just unlucky because he more often gets injury.
You must understand that it is difficult to play in the best form if a player often gets injury. Neymar and Lewandowski are the examples of this case, they are difficult to play in their best level anymore because of the injury problem.

The best player in SPL isn't only Ronaldo, you must consider other players as well. Mitrovic, Talisca, Mane, Milinkovic-savic are also best players in SPL this season. I also think there many other European players who play well this season. That's why SPL becomes very interesting this season, it is because we have many good top players.

None underestimate SPL but benzema has gained power to control the club and this unacceptable thing. As you can see that the coach being sacked after benzema's order to the owner of club. he was often injury then there will be no choice for ittihad to use other striker than him.
Having benzema in the club was not making the situation even better than before. When player was injury and there would be none forced him to play but people will tell him to take a rest. Benzema is taking so much control over the club and this is creating bad environtment to the club.

The best player in SPL isn't only Ronaldo, you must consider other players as well. Mitrovic, Talisca, Mane, Milinkovic-savic are also best players in SPL this season.

People were always being centralized into the one player. He said the best but i think that all of players were giving their best. I would not even try to rating all of them coz they have their own capability as saudi pro league player.
Ronaldo had the biggest impact to the club caused by it was able helping the club to develop even better than before. This is also becoming my main concern as well. Ittihad has been performing so poorly and it needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Yeah you are right, before Benzema can still play normally but for some reason lately the performance decreases maybe because of the injury or maybe his age is not possible to compete in this league. Benzema still has time until the end of the season to prove that he is still able to compete and Al-Ittihad will make a decision after seeing its performance at the end of the season.

The Benzema we saw in the Saudi League was far from the good situation we saw from him in Real Madrid, Benzema in Real Madrid was one of the most effective players in this team and he had perfect performances, even after he left Real Madrid had a problem to find an alternative player to fill his place into tam but just after he joined the Saudi team, he was mostly injured and as you said he was far from his good form we saw before from him.
