Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

What is this thread, a 31-page monologue about Ronaldo? 

I think the same - only people are talking about Ronaldo and nothing else.
However I read a news where it is stated that Saudi Arabia will be hosting Club Football world cup.. I think their ultimate plan will come to reality soon.

No doubt peoples are talking about Ronaldo because Saudis invested big amount just because of this talk around the world as recently they are opening their way for the exposure and having results like Dubai and Qatar which is just because if they have things like these even it's never been easy but now after investing funds like these surely they are on track for this now they are having launch their campaign for the hosting soccer world cup 2030 as co-host other countries are Egypt and Greece which is surely big, but things are still under development because we are going to have big changes in the Middle East with this all peoples are looking for peace and better environment after long conflicts in this region.

Ronaldo is surely the person who is leading from the front after having one of the biggest contract in soccer history, hopefully someone will join him in near future as well for better and fast changes.

Maybe not like that either. So we have to understand, the presence of this thread is also caused by Ronaldo. There are no previous Arab League threads. The existence of Ronaldo in the Arab League made OP take the initiative to make this thread. Then if we talk about the other players, I think very few people know them. This topic will be covered in its entirety once this season is over, as many people who are already watching the Arab league are now part of an interesting argument going forward. Another reason why Ronaldo is now the main topic, because he was eliminated from the Europa League and then warmly welcomed by Al-Nassr for a high fee.

I agree with this, I mean he could be a good player but nobody will offer him that much money in any of the big clubs, it would be impossible, not difficult but literally impossible. On the other hand if you get an offer of 40 million dollars from PSG but 350 million dollars from Saudi league, isn't it basically obvious why would anyone prefer that? I am not saying he would, but if he ever did, I would totally understand why.

Plus, Ronaldo got all the heat from being the first superstar to come to this league, and Messi following up will be easier, every thing that could be said about the situation has been said, Messi would get less comments about it for sure.

What could be Messi's possible reason for continuing with Paris Saint-Germain, despite the lower salary? One factor is that, in case he want to represent Argentina in the next world cup, he needs to participate in one of the top leagues. And here we need to admit that at this point, Saudi Professional League is noway near the Ligue 1 in terms of quality. But how important is this factor for Messi? Does he want to get in to the national team that desperately? I don't think so. He has already won the world cup for Argentina and may not be interested in playing for them again in 2026.

I think even if he wants to play, dude could retire today, and not play for another 3 years or so, and then he could still be called for the national team. He is seen as legendary as Maradona right now, and I think he would be respected too much to not be called if he wants to play, like I said he could play zero games for 3 years in a row and still could be in the team if he wants to, nobody will have the courage to keep him away from the team.

So, if he wants to stay with PSG he could do that, if he wants to leave for Saudi league for the money then he can do that as well, nobody would mind him playing anywhere as long as he is still playing for the national team.

Ronaldo is the main reason for this thread no doubt, but also, he on his own is not a team or a club so every one who is interested in watching Donald is also interested in watching other players or teams that are related to Ronaldo.
people are now potential fans of Al Nasri because of Ronaldo, for that they will not be happy to see Al Nasr lose if Ronaldo is not featured in the game, meaning that apart from Ronald, they also find interest in the league and clubs involved.

Ronaldo is like a game changer for Saudi Professional League and he is like David Beckham in MLS years ago. They both are very famous football players with so huge fan communities and effects they brought to those leagues are uncountable.

David Beckham changed MLS a lot but so far the USA. national team have yet achieved better results in World Cup tournaments. Maybe their citizens and players are not too good with football.

Saudi Arabia national team just made a big shock in World Cup 2022 by beating Argentina but they failed to go to Round of 16. The appearance of Cristiano in Saudi can help their league attract more star players in future and he can be another Zico who actually changed Japanese football.

Zico: Brazilian idol and the godfather of Japanese football

Many Middle East national leagues attract star players from Europe to join them recent years but their leagues and national teams have not changed too much. Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo can help them to make big changes and achieve something in future.

What is this thread, a 31-page monologue about Ronaldo? 

Not at all unreasonable to you, Saudi Professional League (SPL) Football fans didn't know much about the Saudi Pro League before Ronaldo joined the team. After Ronaldo joined AL NASSR, all fans of Ronaldo became fans of Saudi Professional League. And Saudi club AL NASSR has seen an unimaginable increase in followers. However, in this thread, apart from the discussion about Ronaldo, football club predictions and discussions are also discussed.

[rendravolt]

Tomorrow there will be the Al-Nassr vs Al-Taawoun match, as we know Al-Nassr is currently in 2nd place and they have fewer match advantages than leaders Al-Shahab. I think this will be a means of proving for Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends to consistently win this season. Looking at the statistics for the last 5 matches, the two Al-Nassr teams performed quite well, winning 3 wins and 2 draws, while Al-Taawoun got 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. It will definitely be a very interesting match to see Cristiano Ronaldo back to his best and I hope he will score again in this match.

Al-Nassr will likely end this season as the title winners. This will be in conjunction with the desire of ambitious Ronaldo. If Al-Nassr finishes at the top it will likely draw the attention of people more to the league and then Ronaldo will be set to make and break records.

That's right, this will be his proof as a top-class footballer if he manages to win the SPL title this season with Al-Nassr and of course this will be a great start for him to get to something even bigger. At least he can silence the media and also his haters who always issue negative things about him. The match will still take a long time, let's see the results later.

Yea only Ronaldo is the topic on this thread because he is a superstar,he is not in a league that people can see his performance but in SPL. Saudi has a plan on bringing Ronaldo to them,they want the world to have focus on the country and wants to get involved in football like the other countries because Saudi believes that they have what it takes to be famous in the world.

I am a Ronaldo fan,therefore, wherever he is I always like hearing information about him,I also watch his matches since I love his style of playing. FIFA is also making everything possible to make sure that Ronaldo is featured in matches by fixing matches for Al Nassr with other leagues.

I don't think if Ronaldo started playing in the Saudi league and they paid him that much money to increase the team's performance and achieve more cups for their team, I mean this can be one reason but the main reason for this can be investing on Ronaldo for their team, as an example, the Instagram page of Al-Nasr is much more popular right now and worth more than before. Otherwise, I don't think Ronaldo can be a good investment option at this age.

Also previously Al-Taawoun lost against Al-Fateh, while Al-Nassr could end up in a draw against Al-Fateh. This time Al-Nassr is playing at home, that is an advantage for them, it is likely that at there will be many fans which will hope that Ronaldo will be able to score many more goals in this match. After he got a lot of goals in the previous match, I think he can to scored again in this match, and I'm guess maybe more than 3 goals for Al-Nassr.

Well, for me, in terms of whether I'm a fan of Ronaldo, I am just sitting on the fence, I love his style of play, love to watch his matches quite alright, but I can not say if I'm his fan or not, I think I have a connection with Messi, I seem to like Messi more, though they are both very popular players.
When it come to football, the only player that have captured my fancy is Mbappe, though not yet quite as popular as Messi and Ronaldo, and he is also very young and have not achieved as much as what Ronaldo and Messi have achieved, but I personally think that lad will go extremely far,  after all, Ronaldo and Messi will soon retire from world football, we need to start looking out for young players that would replace them, and i think Mbappe is one of those players.

Of course people will be interested in the club, not just Ronaldo. But the majority are Ronaldo fans who have moved to Al-Nassr. They want to see Ronaldo play in the Arab League.
And now the fight is underway between Al-Nassr vs Al-Taawoun. Al-Nassr took the lead quicker thanks to Ghareeb's goal from Ronaldo's assist. We see that currently Ronaldo has contributed in every game, different from the previous few matches.
Likewise with other clubs who have high enthusiasm to beat Al-Nassr because Ronaldo is at the club. Interestingly, the top three clubs are level on points, and the competition is getting more and more interesting.

[Popkon6]

Al Nassr vs Al Taawoun match is taking place today.  Today's game so far has drawn Al Nassr 1-1 Al Taawoun. Now the team that performs a little better will win. In the past games 14 matches were won by Al Nassr and remaining 5 matches were won by Al Taawoun. And few matches have been drawn. If you look at the past results and equations, Al Nassr name appears in the win list and Al Nassr is far ahead in terms of points.  So I think today's match will be won by Al Nassr because Cristiano Ronaldo will win 70% as long as he is on the field.

[LUCKMCFLY]

With such a fantastic salary, Ronaldo must prove that he is still worthy. at least, he should "contribute" to his new club. but unfortunately, Ronaldo has not been able to give his skills, as the coach and All Nassr fans want "at his current age". Obviously, this caused a lot of reactions from fans and football lovers. even criticism came from within the team itself, the coach Rudi Garcia was not happy with All Nassr's defeat against Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup. the presence of Ronaldo, did not have a big impact on the performance of the All Nassr team.

I think it's only natural that his fans expect something big from him. the reason is, in an interview session with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo said that he could still score a lot of goals. apart from all that, anything related to Ronaldo, still seems to be hot news for sports media journalists.

Once again, I need to disagree with you.

Ronaldo doesn't need to prove anything. Whatever he needs to prove, he has done that during the last two decades. And his "contribution" will be measured in a different way. His contribution will not be measured in terms of the number of goals that he score, but rather by the increased viewership and attention for the Saudi Professional League. And in this regard Ronaldo has performed better than expected. Now coming to their defeat against Al Ittihad, Al Nassr needs to do introspection. Ronaldo's presence only helped them in that match.

That's right Ronaldo is a name football world will always remember but that doesn't mean because of Al Nassr defeat against Al Ittihad his performance can be questioned .
Yea you can give opinions and do productive criticism,  winning a game require team effort and hardwork alone Ronaldo cannot do any magic . All team members have to work efficiently for winning game.

I think that what happens to CR7 is not easy, having the responsibility on his shoulders is something very big, it is like what was happening to Messi in 2014 when he lost the World Cup, when he played for Barcelona he also began to go badly, when he left Barcelona and when he joined PSG it's not like he did so well, I think Messi suffered a lot to catch up, what happened to Messi was something very different from that of CR7, because I come back And I repeat, CR7 lost a daughter, a baby, and that makes anyone very bad, it is an irreparable loss and they do not have any kind of consolation, that was what collapsed him, however I think he has been getting over it little by little, not completely and the emotional is what always gives us a catapult upwards or bury us, and since everyone is aware of what he does or does not do, the responsibility will always fall on him.

I would not see the thread as a monologue, but it is the prologue, because it is known that previously the Saudi League did not have the impact and importance that it has now, if CR7 had not gone to Saudi football, I think the thread would not even exist, and that would not It only happens here in the bitcointalk forum, if you look at ESPN they are taking the space only to broadcast the games he plays, partly thanks to him is that he has given more life to Saudi soccer, because we are used to a standard of players, most of which are European players, a famous Saudi player? which? if it is not for CR7 I think none of us would know any.

 FT  Al Nassr FC  2:1 Al-Taawoun



 An important win for the host as they move back to the top of the League with goal difference, what a brilliant performance from Abdulrahman Abdullah Ghareeb to give thw home team the lead and an excellent assist from Cristiano Ronaldo in the first goal and the second goal truly the fans are happy with the players as it is seen in their shout of joy. I like the fact that the Al Nassr players are not depending solely on Ronaldo to always score the goals as some of the players are hungry goal getters as we have seen in the display of
Abdullah Madu the player that scored the winner for Al Nassr FC,  he was so fast to hit the back of net good one.

It's almost true, but the truth is 31 pages of discussion about Ronaldo and Al-Nassr, LOL.

Amazing performance from Cristiano Ronaldo, even though he didn't score, he made 2 assists in this match. He is also the MOTM in this match with a rating of 8.2, FYI, this match should have ended in a draw, because there was 1 goal from Al-Taawoun which was disallowed by the referee in the 69th minute. With the result in this match at least temporarily they are at the top of the standings, but they have 1 rival there, they are Ittihad.

Al Nassr has returned to the top of the standings by packing 40 points, after overthrowing Al Taawoun with a score of 2-1. the course of the match, Al Nassr had a lot of opportunities with 20 total shots, eleven of which were on target, two of which were converted into goals. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was unable to score in this match. even so, in this match Ronaldo became the Man Of The Match and contributed to providing two assists which became Al Nassr's victory over Al Taawoun.

On the other hand, Al Taawoun as the visitors could not provide fierce resistance for the home team. very reasonable, because after all Al Taawoun is not a team that is too strong in this competition. next, in the next two weeks, Al Nassr will not have a tough enough opponent, because Damac and Al Batin are not difficult opponents for them to defeat. what caught my attention was when Al Nassr had an away game against Al Ittihad, because these two teams have the same points. most likely, Al Nassr will find it difficult to play against Al Ittihad later.

That is literally the fact, i never heard about the league nor knew that Saudi had a professional football league until Cristiano Ronaldo joined the league even though i knew that they all loved football.
In today's match between Al Nassr and Al Taawoun Cristiano Ronaldo played an anchor role which provided two assists in the goals they scored. I was expecting CR7 to score the goals but he was the playmaker tonight with the first assist a long pass that culminated in the goal.

Like you ajve written mate, Ronaldo is the main reason for this thread since Ronaldo was transferred to the Arab League, there was interest to discuss about what is happening there and how the league is faring. I know.some persons some persons that are never Ronaldo fans might see it as no reason to open a thread like this but the main reason for this thread just like it is boldly written is to have a grasp of what is happening in the Arab league and here we can discuss about the content of the league which there is more contraction on Ronaldo has an outlook player.

Obviously Ronaldo is the main reason I honestly wouldn't care about this league without Ronaldo and now I know more about several clubs
No need to be surprised if so far the discussion on this thread has reached 33 pages because previously Ronaldo effect bringing millions of followers on Al Nasr IG.

Back on topic: Do you think Ronaldo will be able to reach the top scorer in the remaining 12 matches?
