Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Docnaster]

Al-Nassr results aren't good at all comparing to the players they have and the investment done. In this match Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Brozovic were all present, yet they lost with 2-0!
Al-Hilal result isn't any better with a draw vs Al Feiha. Waiting to see his recent recruited players playing so we might a different outcomes.
Al-Ahli did good for the second round and Mehrez scored a goal. They are now in the second place in the ranking just under Al-Ittihad

Spent much money for signing many star players this transfer window but Al Nassr have bad result last two games in Saudi Pro League matches, looks they have forget how to win after success winning Arab Club Champions Cup and bad started with two matched in domestic league. Karim Benzema teams Al Ittihad still in the top performance last two domestic league matches, winning two games and lead awhile top standings position. Al Ahli have quit well perform last two matches, just Al Nassr still get bad result and Cristiano Ronaldo have working hard how to get back confidence for winning next match against Al Fateh but they have faced Shabab Al Ahli firstly on AFC Champion League play-off round.

The truth is that with the huge amount of money that's been invested in to Al Nassr by the management of the club, it'll be very disappointing if the club players aren't getting good results for the club.
Otavio has been signed from Porto to add to the existing quality players in the club and his signature I think will further strengthen the depth of the squad. I think with determination and and hard work from the members of the squad, winning the league is very possible for the club

Al nassr has been winning its first trophy this season. I expect a better result to come soon. The club is trying even harder in by recruiting the new midfielder from porto. Nassr is still having so many weaks to show good performance.
It's unacceptable if al nassr will still lose the points till the club has been facing at least five matches as the club will be missing a lot of points. People are starting mocking ronaldo at this moment.
Anyone was always putting their focus on the ronaldo that has always become the centre of the club in winning the match against another club. It's such a horrible performance from al nassr.
The club can't keep up with this awful performance. It will be on trouble if nassr keeps miss the points.

I still regret that Saudi Arabia did not bring Messi into their team. We cannot continue to witness the rivalry between the two legends. Let's say they try to convince Messi. Then everyone will have a different view of their league, which is a big step for them. When Messi won the World Cup, Maybe money or titles were no longer essential to him.
On social networking sites, I often read exciting articles. Saudi money can buy all the former top stars. But there's only one World Cup winner that can't be purchased: Lionel Messi.

Money cannot entice every player to join the Saudi team. Kylian Mbappe rejected bids from Saudi, because there's alot he will achieved in Europe. Leo Messi turned down offers from Saudi Arabia because he felt it would be an unwise move, instead accepted offers from Inter Miami, who were struggling in their league. In accordance with Leo Messi's statistics, he had a significant impact on the club. Leo Messi is the undisputed GOAT; he put an end to the GOAT conversation when Argentina won the World Cup in 2022. Presently he's doing exceptionally brilliant in his new club and had help them lifts their first ever league trophy.

I do not think that it's about money but more about personality and cultural difference. I understand that there are some Saudi people who could argue that the life style in Saudi Arabia is just as good and you can do anything there and have fun and all that.

But, a lot of players "think" (or know) that they can't do exactly what they do in Europe or USA which they can't do there, I mean it's just not acceptable according to the culture and they just do not want that risk. Sure maybe it's allowed, but allowed and frowned upon are different. It's a lot easier for them to go to a culture that is closer to theirs and this is why while there are a lot of great footballers who agree to go go here, there are some who just feel not so great about it and reject.

I believe that the first thing that the players come to this Saudi Arabia tournament is simply having a lot of money. This tournament cannot be compared with European leagues. They can accept a pay cut to continue playing in Europe. But they chose money. When Messi's contract with PSG expired, he considered taking a pay cut to return to the Barcelona House. But many problems did not allow that to happen. With the mindset that most players want to earn some money to retire. Only a few people want to stay in the European arena, which has brought them glory and fame.

The club can't keep up with this awful performance. It will be on trouble if nassr keeps miss the points.

After defeating Al-Hilal in a final they've failed to keep up with such form and have had awful performance in their last match, i think the team looks strong but not very strong enough to challenge for the league title, some areas still need to be balanced and that's why they're still doing everything possible to strengthen the weak areas of the squad.
 Their rivals Al-Hilal have got better  squad and also included a very threatening striker Mitrovic to the likes of other top class players like Neymar, Nevez etc. That's the club the should be scared of more this season and try to do anything possible to make sure they strengthen their squad to challenge them for the title this season.

Al-Nassr results aren't good at all comparing to the players they have and the investment done. In this match Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Brozovic were all present, yet they lost with 2-0

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane did not play well but Brozovic did and he is a very energetic midfielder with impressive performance for Croatia in World Cup 2022. He is always an important midfielder for any team they play for, from his national team to Inter Milan or Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo did had a bad match as he was not confident to make shots when he got chances. Mane looks to need more time to adapt to team mates in Al Nassr.

Al-Hilal result isn't any better with a draw vs Al Feiha. Waiting to see his recent recruited players playing so we might a different outcomes.
Al-Ahli did good for the second round and Mehrez scored a goal. They are now in the second place in the ranking just under Al-Ittihad

Those clubs had many new star players from Europe who by default have official positions but have yet familiar with new team and team mates. Those sudden changes in their squads affect their general operation and performances.

Anyway Al Nassr, Al Itihad, Al Hilal and Al Ahli will be biggest competitors for Saudi Professional League title in this season.

Al Nassr really need to retrace their steps because they can't keep buying European players and still having nothing to show for in Saudi pro league. Al Nassr is the leading club that had these excellent performance, it's really competitive for them. They keep making signings and not able to win games after winning the Saudi league cup. Losing two straight games this season, I don't think there's any probability for these clubs to settle or blend in games. These significant players are not able to apprehend their abilities during the game, they are really making blunders and compromising their positions on the table.

[tusandii]

Al Hilal's match against Al Feiha was quite tenacious and each club provided attacks and showed excellent defensive strength.
Unfortunately Al Hilal failed to win the match because he was only able to score 1 goal in the first half at 20 minutes thanks to Alhamddan's goal so the score was a draw until the second half ended.
It seems that there are quite a lot of people who are disappointed and have lost their money for betting on Al Hilal considering that Al Hilal is a club that dominates the League and many people think Al Hilal can win easily.

Now the 2023/24 season is different from last season and of course every club has prepared everything for this season to become a stronger club.
In the Saudi League, I am not sure that Al Hilal can finish the League by bringing home the championship trophy.

This is one match that is quite unique how to see Al-Hilal continue to attack but they always fail to finish. In fact, they had to fall behind their opponents, but soon they immediately replied to the goal. Malcom, Savic, and Michael continued to do everything they could to score but they always failed to get in the way of the opposing defence. Al-Feyha's defense also deserves appreciation because they really wanted to put pressure on Al-Hilal not to score a second goal in the game and they managed to do it.

Anyway, I had a funny incident in this match because my friend bet on Al-Hilal to win and he kept screaming when Al-Hilal got a chance but missed.
He took the normal odds bet which was so small that he was very upset because this should be an easy win for Al-Hilal by scoring at least 2 more goals.

If you think about it with logic and also an evaluation from the previous season, isn't it obvious that Al Hilal can win easily but in reality it is much different and we can never imagine why Al Hilal had difficulty breaking through Al Feiha's defense to create additional goals to win the game while Al Hilal already has several great front line players.
It is also true that we should acknowledge the defensive strength of Al Feiha which is able to withstand repeated attacks from Al Hilal.

This is a normal occurrence and it often happens and is experienced by anyone, considering that everyone who supports a club in a match will feel quite high adrenaline when the club has the opportunity to score a goal.
Now this is an example for us that betting by relying on low Odds doesn't mean you can win easily and Odds are only based on statistics, not from a definite analysis.

Al nassr has been winning its first trophy this season. I expect a better result to come soon. The club is trying even harder in by recruiting the new midfielder from porto. Nassr is still having so many weaks to show good performance.

The club can't keep up with this awful performance. It will be on trouble if nassr keeps miss the points.

Al nassr will face Al-Ahli dubai in the LCA match this week where this is an important match that must be won by Al Nassr to stop their bad trend in the last two matches in the domestic league. I see that there is strong pressure for Ronaldo to return to bring victory to Al Nassr in this match.

Additional strength for al nassr in the midfielder position will have a good impact on them in the next matches. Because if they continue to lose points it will be difficult for al Nassr to compete in the title race this season.

[Strongkored]

Ittihad FC managed to win in a row in the first two matches of the Saudi Pro League, but unfortunately, the striker they bought from Real Madrid Karim Benzema has not yet contributed a goal,

Yeah this is a question for all of us, what exactly happened, was it just unlucky? as we know before the Saudi Pro League match officially started Benzema is always active in scoring goals even in almost every match, based on my records at least Benzema has scored 3 goals and one of the goals through a penalty meaning adaptation is not a problem anymore so what's the problem? why the performance decreased when the competition had already started it should be at a moment like this his contribution is needed, fortunately there are still local strikers who can be relied upon so that Al Ittihad can still secure all the points and take over the standings.

The match in which Benzema scored a goal was like an international match for them, the team they faced was not from the same league as them, and maybe the team from the Saudi Pro league understood that he had to be guarded tight enough that it made it difficult for him to score goals when he started playing in local competitions, or he just hasn't had the luck to find golden opportunities to score, but to be honest I don't know for sure because I've never watched a game in this league, and maybe those who do see him understand why he hasn't scored either, because he's still a good striker in my opinion and age doesn't seem to matter here.

One of the Saudi Pro League clubs is reportedly interested in bringing in a player from the English premier league, Demarai Gray who plays for Everton is rumored to be moving to Al Shabab, the amount of the transfer fee is not known and also whether the player agrees to move. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1693402152343920857

Al nassr will face Al-Ahli dubai in the LCA match this week where this is an important match that must be won by Al Nassr to stop their bad trend in the last two matches in the domestic league. I see that there is strong pressure for Ronaldo to return to bring victory to Al Nassr in this match.

Additional strength for al nassr in the midfielder position will have a good impact on them in the next matches. Because if they continue to lose points it will be difficult for al Nassr to compete in the title race this season.

Al Nassr is not that bad even though in the last 2 matches they have not shown satisfactory results but Al Nassr still has the opportunity to change a bad trend which can only be the beginning and in the future Al Nassr can always pressure opponents to dominate the League.
Ronaldo is Al Nassr's hope to win with Al Ahli, he was previously Al Nassr's savior and in this match believes that Ronaldo will give his best for Al Nassr.
Agree that Al Nassr needs additional midfielders to be able to hunt for goals in every game so they can have more points and increase drastically in order to fight for the title this season.

Al Nassr really need to retrace their steps because they can't keep buying European players and still having nothing to show for in Saudi pro league. Al Nassr is the leading club that had these excellent performance, it's really competitive for them. They keep making signings and not able to win games after winning the Saudi league cup. Losing two straight games this season, I don't think there's any probability for these clubs to settle or blend in games. These significant players are not able to apprehend their abilities during the game, they are really making blunders and compromising their positions on the table.

Al Nassr coach seems to have to evaluate all Al Nassr players because if not it will have a bad influence in the long run. after seeing the poor performance in the last 2 matches it will be a tough task for Luis Castro as coach of Al Nassr and of course this is a problem with the striker who had a little trouble scoring in yesterday match.
some rumors say it is difficult for European players like Ronaldo and Mane to score because each player burdens these European players to always be given ball passes which pressures Ronaldo or Mane to score continuously and this in the short term is very bad because they feel very relied on even though other players have an important role to score not only Ronaldo and Mane.

hope that the next match Al Nassr will perform better and show Ronaldo performance which can contribute to Al Nassr.

[Popkon6]

Even worse, Al Nassr is expected to be strong when Ronaldo comes, but until now Al Nassr is still difficult to get the results as expected. Moreover, Al Hilal has Neymar and Bono and also, Al Hilal still has great defenders and midfielders. Such as, Jang Hyun-Soo, Koulibaly, Milinkovic Savic Sergej and Neves Ruben. Thus, I will be more confident about Al Hilal than Al Nassr from time to time to be a fierce competitor in the title race with Al Ittihad.

The Saudi league has seen many big stars join the ranks but the clubs are seeing changes. The most expensive players are seen in Saudi clubs such as Ronaldo in Al Nassr Club, Neymar in Al Hilal Club, Karim Benzema in Al Ittihad Club. Since the addition of all these stars, the Saudi clubs and the rest of the players have seen a change because they can learn something good from these players. And by them the results of the clubs are well consistent
I think the Saudi clubs are lucky to have all these players. If there is a big money offer, that's why these players got it.

[rendravolt]

Aymeric Laporte will be Al-Nassr's next newest recruit and he will be contracted until 2026. He was brought in from Manchester City for a total of 30 million euros and we know that Al-Nassr has had a bad defense lately so they often concede goals. The presence of Aymeric Laporte is certainly expected to strengthen Al-Nassr's defense, especially since he is an experienced defender who also led Manchester City to win the treble winner last season. Now Aymeric Laporte will soon undergo a medical test this week and it is hoped that soon he will be announced as an official Al-Nassr player.

Spent much money for signing many star players this transfer window but Al Nassr have bad result last two games in Saudi Pro League matches, looks they have forget how to win after success winning Arab Club Champions Cup and bad started with two matched in domestic league. Karim Benzema teams Al Ittihad still in the top performance last two domestic league matches, winning two games and lead awhile top standings position. Al Ahli have quit well perform last two matches, just Al Nassr still get bad result and Cristiano Ronaldo have working hard how to get back confidence for winning next match against Al Fateh but they have faced Shabab Al Ahli firstly on AFC Champion League play-off round.

New players occasionally take time to adjust and develop chemistry with teammates. Despite Al Nassr's success in the Arab Club Champions Cup, it's possible that the victory had a different dynamic than victories in domestic league games. Al Nassr and the rest of the team will face crucial challenges in their upcoming matches against Al Fateh and the AFC Champions League play-off against Shabab Al Ahli. They have the chance to show that they can overcome obstacles, adjust to shifting circumstances, and draw on their prior experience to do better in subsequent competitions. There are numerous variables that affect a game's outcome, so it's crucial to keep your attention on growth and learning.

The bad news for Ahl Hilal is about Neymar and it seems he is still injured and there is a chance for this player to be absent for a few days in Al Hilal which can have a negative effect on this team however after Neymar join Al Hilal the fans were happy to see this superstar player in their teams and there was a positive atmosphere in the teams, also I think Neymar can have a player like Aleksandar Mitrović as forwards for Al Hilal which can make this team to have very strong forward for this season.

Of course, Saudi League is very lucky to have many stars players. Saudi clubs paid them with huge money, especially for Ronaldo, Benzema, and Neymar. But the most shining players in the early of this season are Firmino and Malcom, not those expensive players. We can understand if Neymar still doesn't show his quality because he didn't play yet. But for Ronaldo and Benzema, it is quite disappointed that they didn't score any goal yet. Everyone wants to see those super stars to show their best quality, so every player in SPL can learn something from them.

Aymeric Laporte will be Al-Nassr's next newest recruit and he will be contracted until 2026. He was brought in from Manchester City for a total of 30 million euros and we know that Al-Nassr has had a bad defense lately so they often concede goals. The presence of Aymeric Laporte is certainly expected to strengthen Al-Nassr's defense, especially since he is an experienced defender who also led Manchester City to win the treble winner last season.

It is good news for Al Nass fans, Laporte joined the club at the right time. I agree that Al Nassr defense is weak, they already got 4 conceded goals in the first 2 games of this season. We expect much with the arrival of Laporte, he should strengthen Al Nassr defense. If there is no change in Al Nassr defense, the problem may be not on the players but how the coach to choose the tactics.

That's how football goes, when players don't match what is expected then they will always criticize or even boo them, which is natural.
This is the beginning of their journey, 2 defeats are not good, but that does not mean they will not be able to rise in the next match. Especially now that the league is becoming more competitive, it will obviously be difficult to compete there.
This is the responsibility of all, do not make the defeat of a club to scapegoat one player alone. That's not good, and they must realize that.

This chanting of Messi gets even more intense when Messi scores goal after goal in the MLS while Ronaldo's club Al-Nassr loses games. It's funny because they know that this is the one thing that Ronaldo can't deny. Messi won the World Cup, Messi won the Ballon d’Or more often and Messi also won the Copa America, which is equal to the European Championship in a sense. If they now chant Messi's name it is kind of bad mannered, but I find it funny and a guy with the ego of Ronaldo should be able to cope with it.

I actually think there is another purpose that makes supporters shout Messi's name in this match. Do we remember in some matches always get the same treatment as in this match? when it happens, Ronaldo can answer the chant by creating goals and even make his club turn to win. I don't know if my observation is wrong or right, but I try to think positively about the supporters' treatment of Ronaldo and interpret it as I said above.
I do however agree that whatever the intention it was a bit disrespectful and shouldn't have been done.

You call it disrespectful but isn't Ronaldo the one who provokes the fans in a way that their reaction isn't surprising? How often did Ronaldo emphasize in his life that he is the best in the world and nobody else is as good as him and so on and so forth. Self-confidence is great, but communication can still be polite and charming and respectful. Ronaldo has never been known for being respectful. Now he gets what he deserves.

The bad news for Ahl Hilal is about Neymar and it seems he is still injured and there is a chance for this player to be absent for a few days in Al Hilal which can have a negative effect on this team however after Neymar join Al Hilal the fans were happy to see this superstar player in their teams and there was a positive atmosphere in the teams, also I think Neymar can have a player like Aleksandar Mitrović as forwards for Al Hilal which can make this team to have very strong forward for this season.

It is not worse news from Neymar for Al Hilal because he will be older and more sensitive with injuries. He will be like Bale after his 30s and Neymar is very unprofessional with his lifestyle which can make his body more sensitive with injuries.

The transfer to Saudi Arabia where is abundant of entertainment services will give Neymar more chances to enjoy his life. In return he will less focus on football and more injuries, less appearances, worse performance will come with time. Ah Hilal did not sign a long contract with Neymar and perhaps they will wait the first contract expires before considering to sign a new one with Neymar.

In my personal opinion, even though Neymar is currently injured and cannot immediately make his first debut with Al Hilal, this will not reduce Al Hilal's performance. That's all because there are still other players who can be relied on, such as Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Milincovic. So even though Neymar hasn't been able to make his first debut in the near future, in my opinion this will not reduce the performance of al hilal.

It is not worse news from Neymar for Al Hilal because he will be older and more sensitive with injuries. He will be like Bale after his 30s and Neymar is very unprofessional with his lifestyle which can make his body more sensitive with injuries.

Ah Hilal did not sign a long contract with Neymar and perhaps they will wait the first contract expires before considering to sign a new one with Neymar.

Yes, you are right, that when he was at PSG, Neymar really couldn't take care of and didn't manage his lifestyle properly. It is often reported that Neymar is skipping practice and what I know from several news sites, that Neymar is often drunk. Which resulted in decreased performance when playing or during practice. So looking at the habits that Neymar did at PSG,
the possibility that Neymar will repeat his habit at al hilal, is still very large. Even though in Saudi Arabia alcohol is still strictly prohibited by the government, it does not rule out the possibility that in that country alcohol is still being sold clandestinely. But hopefully, Neymar can maintain his lifestyle better, so that his performance will be even better, so that he can provide games and shows that are very entertaining.

We don't have to argue about Ronaldo's attitude which is already widely known he is a player who has high ambitions that encourage him to behave like that. But his attitude is balanced with what he can do during his playing time, and I feel it is not wrong because he has shown hard work that makes him one of the stars in the world of football.

Sometimes in this case we also cannot see from one point of view only, but we must see as a whole or see from all points of view.

He has a mentality that is above other players, we have to see the good side too, how he motivates his teammates.

Lol you think he never had respect? Is that not wrong? How many fans is he now? Even quality players give him respect
