Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Al Nassr must win this match otherwise many people will making fun of them by saying spent a lot money for wasteful players. There's no big transfer in Al Hilal, it's really shame for Al Nassr to lose. It's different if Al Nassr faced Al Ahli or Al Ittihad where both of this teams have many European players.

I'm rooting for Al Nassr, hope my decision will not be wrong.

In essence, because Al-Nassr has Ronaldo at least it makes Al-Nassr certainly will be more favored to win. But yes indeed, at least with that factor also will certainly make the Al-Nassr squad in under big pressure. Therefore, with that pressure, at least Al-Nassr also cannot fully guarantee to win in the final match later. But hopefully, with a star player like Ronaldo in the squad, then maybe it will increase the confidence of the Al-Nassr squad to be more stable and easy to control emotions to keep playing well.

It is definitely true that he is a big player, and he used to be even better but I am not sure about it now. He still scores, he still positions himself at the right place, all of those are great things and I understand that it makes sense for him to be helpful for the team.

But at the end of the day, if we are talking about a situation where it's just up to him to win any game, then it's not going to end up working out for him in the end. I doubt that it would be possible for him to be like his old self where he takes the ball and scores, he needs a lot more from his teammates, either he passes them the ball greatly and needs them to score, or he needs them to pass him at the right moment so he could score.

It looks like victory for Al-Ahli is guaranteed with this advantage and in the second half we will be waiting for Firmino to score his first hat trick with Al-Ahli.

It is the perfect debut for Firmino, he scored the Hat-trick. Also god game for Allan Saint-Maximin and Riyad Mahrez who was able to get an assist in the game. It is a good start for this team in this competition this season that will be very competitive since many professional and experienced players from Europe has joined the league.  Edouard Mendy made a mistake in the game that led to a goal, he cannot continue like that making all the kind of mistakes he made for Chelsea until he lost his first place position to Kepa.  Edouard Mendy will be happy that they did not loose the game because of him.

The first half is over and Al-Ahli is 2-0 up against Al-Hazm. Surprisingly Firmino managed to score a brace in the first 10 minutes and indeed there is no doubt about his quality when it comes to scoring goals. Riyad Mahrez has also provided one assist so far and can't wait to see him also score on his debut for Al-Ahli. Meanwhile, Al-Hazm seems to be overwhelmed by the attacks that are continuously carried out by Al-Ahli and so far Al-Ahli has also dominated ball possession with a total of 66%. It looks like victory for Al-Ahli is guaranteed with this advantage and in the second half we will be waiting for Firmino to score his first hat trick with Al-Ahli.

I saw the replay of the match concluded that it seemed that Al-Hazm's defense was very bad so that it gave wide opportunities for Roberto Fermino to score 2 at once in the first minute it was amazing when 4 minutes later Fermino was able to score again in 10 minutes and it was very surprising in half secondly Roberto Fermino was able to score 1 more to make it 3-1 and this is really very bad for Al-Hazm.
This will be very embarrassing for the coach and also a tough task for the coach who is very bad and should have conceded 2 goals from the same player the coach should direct the players to focus on Fermino so that there will be no more chances to score the next score.
This must require an evaluation of the coaches and officials of Al-Hazm because if this continues this season may be the worst season for Al-Hazm.

Al-Ahli did very well in the opening match of the Saudi League, they had no trouble getting points. Maybe the opponent is a mediocre team, because statistically Al Hazm has never won against Al Ahli so far. What's more, currently the improvement of Al-Ahli is very visible, they bought the best players from Europa.

Yes and although you are right, Ronaldo hasn't turned Al-Nassr into an invincible team. I think they lost more points with him last season when he joined than they lost before he joined. They still did ok despite losing the SPL title or not winning it so to say, but Al-Nassr does definitely not win every game only because Ronaldo is now there. They have had their defeats and draws with Ronaldo and that happened more often than I would have expected.

Ronaldo alone can't do anything. And that is the reason why Portugal never won a major trophy despite having Ronaldo in the XI for so long. But this time, the chances look brighter since Al Nassr has now got a number of players to support Ronaldo. This time they have managed to get Marcelo Brozović and Talisca in the squad, which should boost the team balance for Al Nassr. Anyway, Al Nassr is doing well recently. Yesterday they won the Arab Club Champions Cup semi-final, by defeating Al Shorta (1-0, goal by Cristiano Ronaldo).

I agree with you on that,  despite Christaina Ronaldo presence in the Portugal team their have failed to carry any major trophy and even at that it shows that Ronaldo alone can't bring home victory to the team but the if you have checked Ronaldo performance in the club side this season,  you will notice that all the multiple goals that came in from Christana Ronaldo in the matches were all collaborated by his team mates he just does the scoring since he is good at delivery every goal opportunities.

To be precise here Portugal did win the EURO 2016, but Ronaldo didn't contribute that much. He scored 3 goals and he was taken off the pitch in the 25th minute in the final after an injury. I would still say that his part for the team was an important one throughout the tournament, but I completely agree with you that he can't do anything alone. His statistics have forever been overwhelmingly strong, but he also had a bad influence on his team sometimes. In general his career was magnificent though and I don't really care too much what he is now doing in Saudi Arabia. It will be the same story like always - if Al-Nassr wins it was because of Ronaldo, if they lose it was because of Ronaldo.

True, but this is also thanks to the greatness of Firmino who can position himself to finish well. Al-Hamz's defense is not yet up to par to stop Al-Ahli's dangerous trio and therefore it is only natural that they fall short. On the other hand, Firmino actually answered what I had predicted that he would score a Hattrick because after all this felt quite easy for him with his many years of experience in Europe. I think Firmino will be on the top scorer list of the saudi league for this season and we will see his action again in the next game.

The focus must be on mendy. It's about how this guy was feeling panic when there was an opponent near him once he was holding the ball. His wrong pass was making ahli's opponent was scoring a goal which is a very bad blunder from mendy. he was also out from his position too.
I know the reason why chelsea was offloading him. It's caused by mendy doesn't have good mentality when there was an opponent near him. Mendy needs to learn how not to feel panic.

I saw that how he was wrongly passing opponent rather than his teammate. The great thing to see firmino was making hatrick on his debut with al ahli. What a striker. Idk, why no european league wanna sign him before?

Mendy needs to solve his problem. He shall learn to strengthen his mentality and keep calm once the opponent came to press him.

for me its normal if a player performance will be different in every league or in every team there will be an increase in performance or even a decrease in performance can not have the opportunity to score more. even though in Portugal he failed to bring the trophy but in the SPL Ronaldo was able to look very good and always made a pretty good contribution like the game some time ago when he scored in the last minute even though only with a penalty kick but Ronaldo was successful in being able to bring Al Nassr to get the trophy they dream.

Al-Ahli was dominating in this match completely thanks to many foreign players which give them good strength as they are having good comeback in Saudi Professional League with impressive hat-trick from the R Firmino also helps them for the amazing start and things looking on track for having good fight until end of this season.
 
Firmino was on fire from the start of the match as he score two goals in just first ten minutes and then complete his hat-trick in second half Al-Hazem was completely clueless in first half, but they have done good fight back in second half, even this was not enough, but they also can perform much better in coming weeks in league.

According to our prediction Al Ahli won easily in this match final score 3-1 for Al Ahli, since the beginning they have targeted 3 points for playing the main squad including 3 mainstay players on the front lines. Firmino managed to score 3 goals in his first debut and Riyad Mahrez contributed with 1 assist brought Al-Ahli to the top of the standings for a while, however based on match statistics Al-Ahli did not really dominate the match maybe they still need adjustment.

To see the real match of Al-Ahli we have to wait another 6 weeks when they have to face Al-Nassr and play away of course this is a worthy opponent for them where the strength of European players will clash with each other, can't wait for this one.

Fermino marked his SPL debut by scoring a hat-trick in the Saudi Pro League opener. The presence of Fermini, Mahrez, Allan Saint Maximin significantly boosted Al Ahli performance. However, what needs to be considered is that Al Hazm is not a comparable opponent for Al Ahli, because the composition of the players is very much different from Al Ahli. The Fermino price for one person still beats the overall price for Al Hazm players, this is what needs to be fixed to get a more competitive SPL.

Hopefully other SPL clubs will get financial support from PIF to improve their squad. That way it will create comparable competition in every game.

Ronaldo alone can't do anything. And that is the reason why Portugal never won a major trophy despite having Ronaldo in the XI for so long. But this time, the chances look brighter since Al Nassr has now got a number of players to support Ronaldo. This time they have managed to get Marcelo Brozović and Talisca in the squad, which should boost the team balance for Al Nassr. Anyway, Al Nassr is doing well recently. Yesterday they won the Arab Club Champions Cup semi-final, by defeating Al Shorta (1-0, goal by Cristiano Ronaldo).

I agree with you on that,  despite Christaina Ronaldo presence in the Portugal team their have failed to carry any major trophy and even at that it shows that Ronaldo alone can't bring home victory to the team but the if you have checked Ronaldo performance in the club side this season,  you will notice that all the multiple goals that came in from Christana Ronaldo in the matches were all collaborated by his team mates he just does the scoring since he is good at delivery every goal opportunities.

There is too much talk about Ronaldo Portugal and his performance which is surely good, but I have to agreed that he was one man show in his team even they have too many quality players, but their body chemistry like we have in PSG players which give them never anything good outside France so same happened with Ronaldo they never won any trophy because players were never been attached with each other everyone wants to play his own game and things were never been ideal for the win any trophy.

But now here at the Al-Nassr things are completely different just after few months now he is doing much better and in recent Arab Cup is giving him good success which mean he can do much better for his club Al-Nassr, and they can beat their arch rival Al-Hilal which is dominating in this league for the years.

Ronaldo has said it several times that, it's hard to win with Portugal than Argentina and Brazil. In Portugal they have less stars compared to others top European countries. But yet Ronaldo is giving the Portugal everything to be top Nation.

Once you give Ronaldo happiness, he gives you double on the pitch, that's what Manchester United lacks to give him when he was there. Today he's happy and doing well as usual in the Saudi Arabia pro league. Ronaldo just needs to be giving time to deliver. He's the greatest player ever and his aging, yet people still expect more from him.

I won't be surprised to see that. Al hazm was just getting promoted again together with al ahli. I remember that ahli and hazm already relegated at 2021/2022. Al hazm can be called as one of weakest opponent in the saudi pro league.
Knowing how strong Al Ahli is currently isn't difficult, but it's important to determine if there have been any enhancements after the purchase of European players.

The real challange gonna happen once al ahli gonna face the club lika al ittihad, ettifaq, hilal or even nassr. It's a good start from al ahli by humiliating al hazm which is a weak club.
Ahli gonna faces al khaleej in the upcoming match.

Both Al-Ahli and Al-Hazem promoted in this season from the Division one with Al-Ahli have 72 points and Al-Hazem having 68 which is surely impressive but in this transfer window we have few good signings for the Al-Ahli which is giving them handy advantage, and they were able to thrash Al-Hazem in this first match badly quality difference was big because Al-Ahli have services of few quality players from the big countries and Al-Hazem was not able to have enough players of same level but still in second half they have done good job.

With this performance things can go interesting, and we can expect good result from the Al-Ahli in this season Firmino is surely impressive player and his start with hat-trick is also good for him and his club.

It's really funny how hope is placed on just one person..... He is not the whole team, besides him there are other players who will determine whether Cristiano will score or not. He can help his team, but if the team performs badly, nothing will help them, not even Ronaldo.

You're right, it makes absolutely no sense for a title to be easy to win just because a team is depending on one player. Ronaldo is not responsible for success, but he is responsible for his own performance which in turn can help the team get the most out of a game. Al-Nassr was able to win the title not only because of Ronaldo, but it is because the team played well all season.

After all Ronaldo is part of the team and he still needs the help of other players to play well. In the 2022-2023 season Ronaldo played 16 times by scoring 14 goals and 2 assists, those are good statistics for him. Last season Al-Nassr failed to win the title, but next season they will try their best.

The key word is everything possible. The Saudi league has strengthened nicely this season, with different teams getting players from Europe, not just a few, meaning there will definitely be competition between clubs in this league. At this rate, the number of top class players will increase 5 times in a few years time

Al-Hilal is dominating team in last decade with their performance is consistent, and they have never been relying on one player which is impressive in last ten years they won title for the five times with Al-Nassr have three and Current Champions with Al-Ahli won title for the one time each which mean things are not easy for any team to win even Al-Nassr is doing impressive in Arab Cup, but we will have completely different situation when these teams will be in League matches.

Al-Ahli start is also impressive with few other contenders are also had services of few top quality players which are giving them good advantage, and we will have good performance from these teams and players for the title only these three teams are having record of participating in all seasons from the start in 1976 Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr with Al-Shabab and Al-Ahli miss the one season each.

And there will be a time soon in the future where the players will chase them and not the other way around just like what is happening nowadays, this is just a phase to them and just a fraction to their whole plan because they are just starting to expand to make their league known to the world and be a competitive club just like what is happening in Europa League.

Saudi Pro League started yesterday with Al-Ahli winning with 3 goals to 1 vs Al-Hazm.
The best part is when you see Firmino scoring hattrick with 2 goals in the first 10 minutes of the game!
Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr matches will be played in Monday

[Gallar]

The first half is over and Al-Ahli is 2-0 up against Al-Hazm. Surprisingly Firmino managed to score a brace in the first 10 minutes and indeed there is no doubt about his quality when it comes to scoring goals. Riyad Mahrez has also provided one assist so far and can't wait to see him also score on his debut for Al-Ahli. Meanwhile, Al-Hazm seems to be overwhelmed by the attacks that are continuously carried out by Al-Ahli and so far Al-Ahli has also dominated ball possession with a total of 66%. It looks like victory for Al-Ahli is guaranteed with this advantage and in the second half we will be waiting for Firmino to score his first hat trick with Al-Ahli.

Al-Ahli did very well in the opening match of the Saudi League, they had no trouble getting points. Maybe the opponent is a mediocre team, because statistically Al Hazm has never won against Al Ahli so far. What's more, currently the improvement of Al-Ahli is very visible, they bought the best players from Europa.

It's true, when viewed in terms of the quality of the players, al ahli is far superior compared to al-hazm players. Because it can be seen from the point of view of ball possession and from the point of view of passing the ball, the experts are indeed superior. Maybe because of the arrival of new players like Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Maximin. Making al experts stronger and sharper on various fronts.

Then in last night's match, in the early minutes until the 17th minute, it seemed that al hazm really didn't move with the onslaught that was intensified by players from al expert. Maybe it's all because it's the first time playing again and indeed directly dealing with a team that can be considered as strong like the experts. That way, in the first fifteen minutes, Al Expert was able to score two consecutive goals, which were scored by Firmino. But for me personally, apart from the good game shown by Firmino, the game shown by Allan Maximin, in my opinion, is very good too. Because he always gives good opportunities/feeds to his teammates, and even several opportunities to launch shots on target and threaten the defense of al hazm.
