Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[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.

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

Roberto Firmino had an amazing start in the Saudi Pro League with a hat-trick. What a fantastic debut for him! Honestly, the game was really exciting, and the new players in the league are making a big impact. This season, the Saudi Pro League gonna be really thrilling and intense for many reasons, for instance top players from all around the world joining.

Robert Firmino got off to a good start with a hat trick for his new club, he seems to have found his way into the goalscoring mix here, but who knows, Benzema, Ronaldo, and Mane could be in the same boat, perhaps competing for the most goals.

Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are now in the final of the Arab Club Champions Cup, continuing to play for the SPL on Monday with such a busy schedule at the start of the season, it's curious to see how this final plays out.

Al Nassr remain at high odds but Al Hilal are slightly down on the odds the bookies are offering.

Firmino is one of the best strikers I know when it comes to adapting fast to difficult or new circumstances. When he changed the club, he immediately knew how to support the team with his efficiency and the same is valid when he only plays 20 minutes in a game. He is always dangerous and I think Firmino leaving Europe so early is a loss for the European competition. He could have played for a lot of clubs and also other top clubs for at least two years. But I wish him the best and it is good to see he had a great start.

Liverpool let go one of the most dangerous attacker, his absence will be felt, perhaps they'll adapt to play league games without him, Jurgen Klopp will signed more potential talents. Robert Firmino is an experienced player, he knows what to do at all times, he is one of the outstanding striker in Europe, moving to SPL, alot is expected from him in his new team. The Brazilian adapts so fast with the club pattern, he's performance was stellar and the support hoped he continued that way because he would be am important key project of the club.

Today we will see the final of the Arab club champions which will bring together Al-Hilal against Al-Nassr. We know the rivalry of these two teams in the Saudi league is very hot and this is a decisive match for both of them to win the first title before continuing to the Saudi league competition. This will also be a proving ground for Cristiano Ronaldo to be able to get his first title with Al-Nassr and it seems that it will not be easy enough because Al-Hilal has other European players such as Ruben Neves, Milikovic Savic, Koulibally and Malcom. But of course, this time too, Cristiano Ronaldo is not alone because there are other European players who have participated in strengthening the depth of the Al-Nassr squad, such as Seko Fofana, Sadio Mane, Brozovic, and Alex Telles. These two big Arab teams are very balanced and we can see these European stars heating up the atmosphere again through this match.

[lizarder]

Odds Al Nassr quite tempting in addition to this team has become a favorite of many people.

Ronaldo is an effect and it must be admitted that the Saudi Arabian league will increasingly show a class that is equal to other leagues in Europe, though not surpassed or fully equalized for future league processes.

Al Hilal has brought in defenders as well as midfielders, but for strikers they still haven't got maybe before this transfer is closed.
Agree with you! I favor Al Nassr at the moment since the arrival of Ronaldo and several other players, but will not be denied by the offer of a bigger bookies to Al Nassr although a little different but this is more balanced in his game.

Even though the odds given to Al Nassr are more tempting, Al Hilal's abilities cannot be underestimated either. These two teams have undergone quite fierce competition in the league and they are both also competing to bring in European players. The game will be much more balanced and quite attractive for each time the two teams attack, but as I mentioned before and maybe I hope Al Nassr will come out victorious.

[hahay]

The match is already in the second half now in the final event of the Arab Club Champions Cup, and Al Nassr is 1-0 down after conceding in the 51st minute. Although Al Nassr basically had a good dominance in the first half too, but Al Nassr still did not manage to make a goal, and instead conceded first. With Al Nassr trailing like this, it seems like Al Nassr is under a lot of pressure and it might make it more difficult for Al Nassr to score a goal. At least, with Ronaldo and Mane in squad, I hope Al Nassr can turn things around and win the Arab Club Champions Cup for the first time.

After finishing the first half goalless, Al Hilal managed to create a goal in 6 minutes of the second half, precisely in the 51st minute. In terms of opportunities Al Nassr had more chances, it's just that at the beginning of the second half their concentration was not fully created so that 1 goal could be shot by Al Hilal players.
There is still plenty of time for Al Nassr to balance the score or even return the situation. It's difficult because now it looks like Al Hilal are focusing more on their defense to maintain the existing score. 30 minutes is a long time to turn things around, be it for Al Hilal, or for Al Nassr.

Al Nassr is putting on presure on Al Hilal and i think we might see one more goal by the end of the match and from the Al Nassr side. Ronaldo is close to the first trophy with Al Nassr but so far it dosent look like that will happen. Al hilal is holding on and they just need to hold on for 20 more minutes and win the trophy.

unfortunately in lagging conditions, Al Nassr had to play with 10 players after their defender, Al Amri had to receive a red card. if Al Hilal is still playing defensively, it probably won't affect playing with 3 defenders. but if a change in attack pattern occurs, it is dangerous for Al Nassr.
but Ronaldo seemed to be the savior after the intensity of Al Nassr's attacks finally paid off to equalize the score.

[Adams0001]

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

I believe that a five times increase from now is not enough for the league to accommodate top players in few years to come.  Cristiano Ronaldo entered the league at the end of the previous season, and since then, we have witnessed a significant improvement in the quality of players in that league. If additional top players join the league by the following season, which I have confidence will happen, the Saudi Arabian League will play at a higher level of competition. The media attention they're receiving will increase their league exposure, which will increase their revenue from viewers.

Firmino was MOTM in that game. I saw that how impressive his performance. His team mate was also supporting him in making hattrick. The quality from EPL player was very high. Mendi needs to be evaluated as this guy was doing something bad like wrongly passing to the his opponent which was unacceptable. The great thing there was firmino who is able helping the club to win the game with huge scores. Im feeling if ahli gonna be another big club in saudi pro league.
This is not the same like old ahli. The current ahli is far better compared with it was relegated. I saw huge changes happened with this club after buying some great players from different league. Money has changed al ahli.
Im sure this club will not be relegated again this season.

Red card Alamri , & N Boushal
When two defenders in a team get two red cards in 7 minutes, it is very difficult to estimate how much balance the nine players can keep in that team. Although an extra 30 minutes of play is going into the break, Al Nasser is currently leading by one goal. Sadio Mane is playing well enough and if he can score a goal in the last minute it will make their victory in the final much easier. Let's see what happens in the extra 15 minutes.

Congratulations,, Al Nasser
Champion of Arab Club Champions Cup

[hahay]

Anyway, congratulations to Al Nassr who finally won the Arab Club Champions Cup trophy for the first time, with a match full of drama. Because quite a few players got yellow cards and red cards in the Al Nassr squad, including Al Nassr coach Luis Castro who got a red card too. But yes, congratulations also to Ronaldo who managed to make two goals in this match, as well as being the decisive goal for Al Nassr victory. Also, I really appreciate Al Nassr goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi for playing well, because after Al Nassr played with only 10 players, it made the attacks made by Al Hilal always endanger the Al Nassr goal.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

Cut the Crap!

Did Portugal not win on of the last Euro's ? 2016, France hosted the Competition but failed to win. 2019 Portugal won the  National League and FIFA Confederation in the year 2017.
Why all these hate on Cristiano Ronaldo? Mate, believe me he deserves all of the flowers and respect in the world. Goals are goals even though they're assisted from his teammates.

He's more like a Central Attacker now, he no longer has that energy to come from the flanks running and dribbling. Football has upgraded from dribbling to scoring goals. He's adapted nicely. Whoever doesn't like what he's doing can ignore. Period!
There shouldn't be for comparisons between him and Lionel Messi. They're both great players who has been consistent for the past fifteen good years.

And finally Ronaldo got it 2 goals from Ronaldo saved Al Nassr from chaos  he is always motivated under any circumstances he really can be relied upon
I don't know if this is only luck for Al Nassr because the match seems balanced in attacks and shots even Al Hilal is a little more dominating from all sides
We can imagine if Al Nassr played without Ronaldo there maybe the final result can be different it might lose.

Congratulations,, Al Nasser
Champion of Arab Club Champions Cup

Ronaldo finally brought Al Nassr to get a trophy from this very dramatic match. and he won't get boos from fans. after failing to deliver the SPL trophy last season, now Ronaldo is showing his role. and this would suggest Al Nassr will be better equipped to start the new season in the SPL.
of course, the competition will be more interesting with Ittihat and Al Hilal. Al Nassr may not want to lose the chance to get the SPL trophy they missed last season. this season, they need to be stronger.

[Polkeins]

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.

What about the 2016 european championship? Without Ronaldo, Portugal would not have won the trophy.

Just yesterday, Ronaldo won the Arab Champions Cup with a double in the final and became the top scorer of the tournament with 6 goals.
In general, Ronaldo has excellent statistics, he 7 times became the top scorer of the Champions League. He was the best by the number of goals in the championships of England, Italy, Spain and also twice was the top scorer in European championships.
I am not a great fan of Ronaldo and I do not always like his behavior, but we can not ignore his hard work and will to win at any cost, you can not take that away from him.

Al Nassr with a huge win after losing 1-0 and with 10 men they were able to turn it around. Who else then Cristiano Ronaldo. This maybe a non europe competition but the guy keeps scoring in the most important matches for his teams. This two goals were just so big for Al Nassr. Still at this age he shows his amazing quality,just amazing.
