Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Doell]

In a few moments we will watch the match between Al-Fateh against Al-Nassr and in this match Ronaldo and his friends must steal 3 points if they want to get their first victory in the saudi league competition. In the last 5 meetings between the two, Al-Nassr really dominated with 4 wins and 1 draw. It's clear that even if it's an away game for Al-Nassr they can definitely win it. Apart from that, if we look at the confirmed formations from Al-Nassr there are the names Otavio and Laporte who are Al-Nassr's new recruits and this will mark their debut. I don't think Al-Nassr needs to win big in this match, they just need to win 0-2 to be very safe to get full points.

Al Nassr scored one goal against Al Fateh so far as we were expect to see for them to show better performance because of the much better and expensive players they brought in this summer. For Al Nassr, Sadio Mane scored the goal and if I'm not wrong it's his first goal he scored for this Saudi team after he joined this team. The performance of Al Nassr was good enough in this game to show they can be a strong competitor for other teams in the Saudi Leage.

So far Al Fateh has not give a good game there, Al Nassr has really dominated this match, the easy winning for Al Nassr to get three points seems to be happening this day. No sir, actually that was Sadio Mane second goal in the Saudi League. Previously on the first matchday against Ettifaq, Mane successfully scored, especially his goal in the early minutes of the match. But, unfortunately Mane could not bring victory for Al Nassr at that time.

I think cristiano ronaldo will retire from saudi arabia league. Because I don't see any chance of coming to any European club with the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, the Saudi league will become very competitive within a few seasons.

Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be 40+ after ending of this Saudi contract, but he could be brand ambassador for this until 2030 World Cup or may be position could be changed as well from here, but his target is AFC Champions League and Saudi League title could be also achieved which will give him good stance before retirement even right now nothing is clear but most chances things could be under control for him with huge amount of money, and then he can live as any soccer club owner as well as we have many players right now.

But, soccer could be remembered him with his services and all achievements which he has done in last few years as one of the legendary players just because of him now Saudi League is also achieving many big things which will help them in future as well for the best.

Ronaldo have come up with his contribution. In the 38^th minute Ronaldo have scored a goal on the open net. First half of the match have come to an end. Al-Nassr leads 2-0 and based on the statistics Al-Nassr is at its best in ball possession. Based on the shots on the target and the corners played Al-Nassr could've scored atleast 4 or 5 goals.

You can say that this is an important match for Al Nassr, considering that Al Nassr has so far not gotten any points. And again this will be the first point for Al Nassr in this season in SPL. Yes, that's right, Ronaldo was the difference in this match. The first goal was scored by Sadio Mane, as well as beautiful assists from Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo's header goal, making AL Nassr 0-2 in the first half.

My prediction is that Al Nassr will add another goal in the second half, seeing from the statistics of the first half, Al Nassr has 70% of the ball with three shots on target and nine shots off target. This proves that Al Nassr has mastered this game.

As predicted one more goal have got added to Al-Nassr. Once again the goal have come from Ronaldo at the 55^th minute. This time the goal have come with the support from Brozovic and Ghareeb. A perfect goal on the open net as Brozovic makes a long ball to Ghareeb and he sends it to Ronaldo who makes it a goal. The goat is back to form.

Two other matches were played parallel to the Al-Nassr vs Al-Fateh match. One is between Al-Shabab and Damac, other one between Al-Taawoun and Abha. Both the matches were without any goals.

[Sithara007]

Al-Nassr had a bad start to the season. After 2 games without a win, today they were 2-0 up at half time against Al-Fateh. Al-Nassr dominated the game in the first half. Al-Nassr had 15 shots and Ronaldo finished with 1 goal and 1 assist in the first half. More goals are likely in the second half. No goals have been scored yet in the other games. I can say that Al-Shabab and Al-Taawon could score in the second half. We can say that the hosts played more dominant football.

Good to see both Sadio Mané and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring for Al Nassr. Before this match, Al Nassr was at the 16th position, after having lost both of their opening matches. The win today will help them to move to 10th position. But it is still disappointing. Looking at the squad strength, Al Nassr is the strongest team in Saudi Professional League. But then no one expected them to lose matches against Al Ettifaq and Al Tawoun. Hopefully today's win will start a chain reaction and they will be able to improvise further in the coming matches.

Don't worry because the league has just started there are still many matches left ahead, exactly as we expected that Al Nassr will try to win this match to catch up on points the collaboration of Sadio Mane and Ronaldo really lives today both players have scored 2 goals each bringing Al Nassr ahead 4-0. We hope Al Nassr is consistent like this to compete with Al Ittihad or Al Ahli at the top of the standings, last season Al Nassr missed the opportunity so this season they have to win the title to complete Ronaldo's record in a different league.

This match winning is confirmed, as said it is really mind-blowing to watch both Sadio Mane and Ronaldo scoring for the team. Now it looks like the competence is between Sadio Mane have scored 2 goals and Ronaldo have scored 3 goals for his part and Al-Nassr have won the match 5-0. Earlier Sadio Mane scored against Al-Ettifaq and for Ronaldo this is the first of the season. After this match we can expect big progress from the team as the expected ones have begun to do their best.

Well.. this is just ego clash. Nuno Espirito Santo expects the players to dance to his whims and fancies and obviously Karim Benzema doesn't want to do that. Santo wants Benzema to change his tactics, so it is easier for him to manage the squad. My advice to Al Ittihad would be to sack Santo instead and get a quality manager from somewhere else. Whatever Al Ittihad had achieved during the last season was mainly thanks to its players such as Abderrazak Hamdallah, Romarinho and Igor Coronado. What was the contribution from Santo in this?

Lol player is bigger than the manager

But I also agree with your opinion, I believe Al Ittihad will sack the manager since their manager is a nothing, unlike Benzema which is a star player and have a lot fans. Saudi Arabia want to popularized their football league even though they need to sacrifice their mainland people and the money they've spent.

I mean it makes sense to sack him and get a big name for sure. We are talking about a team that spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build the club, and in return we are seeing them not do that greatly at the moment because the manager wasn't one of them. If you are buying that many players at that level then you are going to need a manager that is at the players level as well.

Benzema has worked with some of the greatest managers we have seen, so he will of course want to apply himself if there is a good manager but if there is a nobody there then he will ignore the manager and just do what he knows best. Get a great name, pay him like you paid the players and you are going to be doing fine as well.

[savetheFORUM]

Some already know about the drama at Al Ittihad regarding Karim Benzema with Nuno Espírito Santo Al Ittihad coach, the loss of harmony with Benzema made Benzema want to decide on his move from Al Ittihad, due to Benzema's incompatibility with the scheme proposed by the Al Ittihad coach, making it difficult for Benzema to give victory and goals for Al Ittihad, this is what makes Benzema uncomfortable and this doesn't last long at Al Ittihad, true or not but the rumors have spread outside and have even spread to the European media, I don't know who will leave Al Ittihad, Benzema or Precisely Nuno Espírito Santo, the coach who resigned from Al Ittihad..

Well.. this is just ego clash. Nuno Espirito Santo expects the players to dance to his whims and fancies and obviously Karim Benzema doesn't want to do that. Santo wants Benzema to change his tactics, so it is easier for him to manage the squad. My advice to Al Ittihad would be to sack Santo instead and get a quality manager from somewhere else. Whatever Al Ittihad had achieved during the last season was mainly thanks to its players such as Abderrazak Hamdallah, Romarinho and Igor Coronado. What was the contribution from Santo in this?

My first thought was also same as I want Al Ittihad needs to sack Santo if they want to have better things in future but right now situation is not clear with most chances management will try to have middle way which help them and both other parties for staying calm and give their best but still we have this rift which is going to have problem for the defending champions because they can do better without coach Santo as they have few quality players which are capable of winning trophies for them.

But, if Karim Benzema having early exit then surely it's going to have big negative impact on many things which is surely not acceptable for the Al Ittihad and Saudi League as well next few days are important for this all hopefully we will have positive news.

With so much coordination from the defense and to the midfied Al Nassr did as expected with both Otavio and Laporte getting to fixture in them first game for the club.
Love what I saw between Ronaldo and Sadio Mane seeing how they've also built a strong combination to support and assist themselves scoring in today's game. The position they occupy even after the win is below expectations they have a good set of players they should match up to such a level.

Two Goals for Sadio Mane and same two goals for Cristiano Ronaldo. They don't look like the strongest if I should suggest.

Wow, what a game, I think I need to watch the highlights! Al-Nasr hopefully will then come out of the slump they apparently had after winning the Arab Champions League. I agree about Mane and Ronaldo - I hope their competition will allow both players to maintain a high tone and motivation.

Somehow I just noticed today that Neymar is injured again... oh... the Saudis still don't understand who they're messing with 

[borovichok]

We should expect the best results from these elite Saudi clubs. Brilliant performance will always end up in good results, nothing to worry about. Al Nassr dominated all areas and made their supporters to be so relaxed during the game. Everything at their advantage, they explore more options that led to goals. I'm shocked of words, the greatest of all time grab his 63rd career hattrick today against Al Fateh, followed by Sadio Mané that grab a brace in the game, was similar to training and friendly game, very easy for the Knights of Najd.

In this case, of course management will not rush quickly to make a choice whether to fire Nuno or not because there is still a better solution for the progress of their team. I mean the management has to be neutral and reconcile the tension between Benzema and Nuno so that harmony in the team can reappear.

In addition, Nuno managed to bring Al Ittihad to win a trophy last season, so Al Ittihad management, of course, would not fire Nuno because of this trivial matter. But we hope that a resolution of this incident can have a good impact on their team.

Great performance from the Al Nassr's players in tonight's game against league opponents Al Fateh and a Cristiano Ronaldo's hatrick tonight. Sadio Mane grabbed a brace in the game to remind those who's started to criticizing him of lack of good performance that he's still got all it takes to make great signing for the Saudi club.
Al Nassr spent huge resources to bring players to the club and I believe that it's surely gonna an added advantage when they

Al Nassr achieving their results presently, spending enormous amounts of figures on European players this season, time to heighten the performances for the team, it's step by step. Ronaldo scoring an hattrick a d Mané netting a brace, pull strong bond between the players. Cristiano Ronaldo proofing beyond all measures that he's the main top goal scorer for Al Nassr. He's the player the club presently needs, he's here to deliver the club from crucial circumstances. Al Nassr kept the fire burning throughout the game, high spirits from the Knights of Najd.

I can say that Al-Shabab and Al-Taawon could score in the second half. We can say that the hosts played more dominant football.

al nassr did the right thing by buying sadio mane, it was clear that the two great strikers ^{(Cristiano and mane)} were very hungry for goals, in the first half mane scored 1 goal while cristiano also scored 1 goal but in the second half mane scored another goal while cristiano made 2 more goals, this 5-0 win over al fateh made al nassr still in 10th place in the arab league temporary standings while for the top score, hamdallah ^{(al ittihad striker)} still holds it while critiano is in 2nd place because he managed to make hat trick in this match.

al ittihad is still at the top of the current Arab league standings, the arrival of benzema really adds to ittihad's attack power, i believe it will be hard for al nassr to be able to catch up with al ittihad.

Of course they have to win in today's match to end the bad streak of the previous two matches which ended in defeat. This victory certainly raised Al Nassr ranking on the standings because previously they were at the bottom of the standings. This victory was also very special for Ronaldo because he was able to score a hat trick and end a bad streak in the last two matches.

So, we also saw Sadio Mane who found his best form in this match because he opened the first goal in this match. Al fateh couldn't do much in this match because the opponents they faced were filled with top European players. I think Al Nassr will slowly return to the top of the standings and catch up on points from Al Ittihad.

The sack option should be the last if other conflict resolution strategy has failed. I read that it was not  Nuno Espirito Santo's idea to bring on Benzema from Real Madrid. There was also a report that the French international wanted to become the captain of the team but coach Santo turned down his plea. The club might not consider selling the striker because of the huge cost of getting his service. But the club will not also be willing to let a coach who has given them success leave just like that. There should be a coming ground of reconciliation. But if it fails one person has to leave and doubt if it will be Benzema

The answer to the question of who is the greatest between is becoming more complicated. The match was an easy win in the sense that Al Fateh was no match for Al Nassr. But Ronaldo has proved once again that he is indeed arguably the greatest of all time. He has started to enjoy his stay in Saudi due to the addition of more good players. His hat trick and Mane's brace were more than enough to give the club the maximum three points. Gradually Mane will forget all his struggles in Bayern Munich.

[flipme]

Somehow I just noticed today that Neymar is injured again... oh... the Saudis still don't understand who they're messing with 

Neymar is really like a joke. When Neymar was injured in the competitive leagues of Europe, it was a bit understandable, but now I see the same thing in the Saudi Professional League. Fortunately, he has a contract that allows him to earn money by sharing stories on his Instagram account. Now I understand better why this clause in his contract is there.

This season the teams in the Saudi Professional League have made some very good signings. There are many good teams. But I think Al-Ahli's signings this season are better. I think this team can play for the league title if their new signings catch a good harmony.

Great result for Ronaldo, another career hattrick to add to his very good record. Al Nassr fans will be happy with the result and have some kind of confidence on him going forward that he can deliver them the title this season, and if he cannot score in some games, they also have Sadio Mane that can score. The competition in the Saudi league has increased and Al Nassr know that they need to win the league this competitive season. The Hattrick for Ronaldo will boost his confidence the more, and set him up to score more goals for the club.

Most likely as you said where one of them has to leave the Team. I think Tim will definitely keep Benzema more than Nuno because Benzema quality at European level is undoubted so he can make a big contribution under other coaches if Al ittihad sacks Nuno.

But in match Al riyadh vs Al ittihad where in this match Benzema became captain and Nuno accompanied Al ittihad in this match. Has the feud between the two gotten better or is there still something to be done.
