Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

This is just information that Neymar's condition had not yet fully recovered when he was called up to the Brazilian national team to face Bolivia in the World Cup qualifying match. Even the Al-Hilal coach seems to really regret the decision of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to call up Neymar, who is still not 100% fit. But Neymar himself apparently felt he was capable of playing so he left.

But Neymar's condition is actually not that bad. In fact, Neymar was ready before the Al-Hilal vs Al-Ittihad match. But coach Al-Hilal was only worried about Neymar's condition and told him to rest for the match and not to rush his debut. But yeah, coach Al-Hilal is definitely annoyed. Because Neymar actually has to play with his national team. But this does prove that Neymar is fine even though he has not fully recovered. Neymar even scored 2 goals in the match against Bolivia. And reportedly this made Neymar the top scorer in the Brazilian national team, even more than the legend Pele. So Neymar decided that playing in the Brazil vs Bolivia match was a good step for Neymar. Because he has written his name in the history of football players who surpassed Pele in scoring goals for the Brazilian national team. Hopefully he can play with Al-Hilal better.

I would suggest he rests, because Al Hilal fans expects the very best from him on his debut for the club, he ought not to dissapoint them. Neymar Jr is an important player for Al Hilal and the club wouldn't do anything that will put the new player under pressure. Neymar actually got what it takes to make his debut for the club but the coach, Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus worried and upset about the present phase of Neyamr who is called by the Brazil national team. He represented his country and scored a brace, breaking remarkable records as the highest goal scorer, taking the lead from Pelé.

Well, I have read the news you linked and I think I understand why Jorge Jesus was a little annoyed with Neymar being called up to the Brazilian national team. Because he is worried that Neymar will get injured in the next 2 matches in the World Cup Qualifiers. This could mean that Neymar will not be able to play for Al-Hilal in the near future. But the report also stated that Neymar himself had clarified that he had recovered and was fine. It's just that Neymar also said that he hasn't recovered 100% but is fine.

I personally understand how Jorge Jesus feels worried about Neymar. But he also couldn't stop Neymar from defending his own country. I think for every player playing for his own national team is an extraordinary source of pride. And Neymar certainly feels the same way.

Thank you for the news you linked.

we all here must be able to understand both parties between Neymar and Jorge Jesus, that actually Jorge Jesus is worried about Neymar condition, which has not yet fully recovered, but Neymar himself is a star player who can be relied on. If he feels he is fine, he will defend the national team that calls him, but if he feels he is not. OK, fine, he will definitely refuse the call, so its okay if Neymar has to defend his country and Jorge Jesus also has to give an understanding about this and I am sure that Neymar will still be fine in the Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh match.

[Iranus]

For the fact that we know that Neymar is an injury player does not mean that he does not have enough time to play. When Neymar was in Barcelona, he played a lot of matches, even when he was in PSG. He played a lot of matches and he even plays good matches of Brazil's national team unless for few occasions that he will be injured before the tournament finishes and most time he will return to play the final stages of the tournament. He cannot be a liability to his new club. He will have time to play, also the competition in the Arabia Pro League is not much and besides from the sales of jersy of Naymer, the club can still make a lot of money.

Neymar is never been having ideal situation in PSG because most of the time he faces injuries which hurt him badly and things are mostly going to be here as we have PSG but with this all we need to check few other things are also as here in Saudi Arab conditions are never been easy for these players hot weather and few other things surely going to have impact on their body and performance as well.
Here Neymar's entrance is just for the media coverage and having good impact in South American market as well because if they have Messi then surely it's going to be better for them but after his rejection they bring another big name no doubt he will give time to league and also try his best for good performance which is main target but still not many expectations because of his history.

The Saudi League has spent a lot of money to bring star players like Ronaldo, Neymar and Benzema to Saudi, not just for good performances. If they want good performance and only want to improve their league, they could spend less money and bring talented players to Saudi. They brought in star players like Neymar, Benzema and Ronaldo because they wanted to tell the world about the Saudi League. Neymar and Ronaldo have huge fan bases. And this is why the Saudi League is expanding rapidly. We knew very little about the Saudi League even last year. We didn't talk much about this league. But this year we all know more or less about the Saudi League. Also keep track of the matches. Saudi Arabia is planning long-term. Gradually they will popularize the Saudi League.

[Luzin]

But this year we all know more or less about the Saudi League. Also keep track of the matches. Saudi Arabia is planning long-term. Gradually they will popularize the Saudi League.

Right now they are in the process of doing so. Their target is long-term. They wanted to make the Arabic name not only famous for Oil. They realized the oil could run out soon. In addition, the proposal to host the world cup is also a strong reason. They put themselves forward to host the 2030 World Cup if I'm not mistaken. With the arrival of star players, the hope is that they will continue to be consistent with an exciting league. In addition, there are always changes in every transfer market in every season. Evidently the Arab League is not an easy league for players from Europe.

[rendravolt]

The opening match this week will pit Al-Akhdoud against Al-Ittihad and this will be the first meeting between the two. I don't remember which team got promotion to the Saudi league this season apart from Al-Ahli and if Al-Akhdoud is the promoted team this season then they will face a tough challenge because they have to face the defending champions of the Saudi league last season. Currently Al-Akhdoud is in 13th position with 4 points from 5 matches and Al-Ittihad is in 3rd position which is only 1 point behind Al-Hilal. Of course Benzema and his friends have to get full points this time to unseat Al-Hilal and I think this will be an easy match. If you look at the odds, Al-Ittihad is very favored to win with odds @1.16, but I don't hesitate to bet with a handicap (-1.5) so I can get better odds @1.54.

[fullhdpixel]

Ittihad will try to be better, by recruiting more Europa players to retain the league title. Luiz Felipe may could be a good player to strengthen Ittihad defense, although this Italy player is not too old, but he has enough experience. If play in this league, I think it is not really difficult for him. Considering also he is not too old, then there is a possibility he can develop to be better. Also maybe can return to any club at Europa again, I mean there is still a chance for him. If he can have a good performance, then there is a possibility that clubs in Europa are interested to recruit him. Anyhow, this league is not over yet, I mean although Al Hilal is the favorite but there is still a chance for Ittihad to return to the top position.

I think Al Ittihad can be very scary after they get a player like Luiz Felipe. Because we know Al Ittihad got many famous superstar players from Europe in this summer to have better forwards.
Now after they hired Luiz Felipe, their only weakness in the defense line will be improved and now they can be a stronger team to race with Al Hilal for the title at the end of this season.

Al Ittihad is defending champions with few good players and now in recent transfer window they have quality players which give them good start of this season even recently they have first defeat of this season which bring them down at third spot and Al Hilal at the top with this all situation most chances things could be not easy for the top four teams we will have many ups and downs which create entertaining soccer and prediction is also not easy because after break we will have few good matches between top teams and these matches will bring good changes in league table.

Al Ittihad is currently with few defending players having good advantage, and they will be team to watch as they are surely going for another title, which is not easy in presence of Al Hilal and Al Nassr.

[Jody.Drummer]

Now I agree with you on this, bringing in a lot of European players doesn't guarantee that they will be successful, but of course the impact of the arrival of European players will make the league more competitive. I like it when you make comparisons like with Chelsea who spend a lot of money, but in terms of the game it's like there's no change. Also Paris Saint Germain who recruited a lot of star players, but they can't talk more when they compete with stronger clubs in Europe.

I agree with you, a club can have quality players but wouldn't be able to out perform other clubs that don't have such quality players. Let's take PSG for example last season was a mess for them with all the superstars that they had they couldn't play well in the champions league. Same with the SPL clubs,it is not to have hood players but also to have a quality coach who will guide and direct these players to bring out the best performance in them. I don't know if they can buy some European coaches and let see if these coaches will  go to Saudi to change the football pattern over there. The European players will draw more attention to SPL and it will be more competitive than before as we have all seen it.

That's because they're not playing individually but as a team, and that will determine whether or not they play up to the expectations. There are also many clubs with players who are fairly ordinary but they can play nicely and very well, one of them is because their team play is also very good, creating such a situation.
When a club is inhabited by many star players, then they must also be able to ensure the chemistry between them is also created, because if it is not there, it will be like what we see in clubs like PSG for example.

The large budget expenditure by Saudi clubs is an effort to boost the quality of the league to make it more competitive, which will ultimately make the Saudi Pro League the best league in the Asian region. To become the mecca of world football like the European leagues, it requires at least four to five countries making the same efforts. At the moment it clearly doesn't make sense to compare the expenditure of EPL and Ligue 1 clubs with SPL clubs, because in substance the SPL has just started the first stage, namely making the League Competitive.

Media branding thanks to the arrival of world star players makes the SPL image more popular, thus causing sponsors to come and ultimately become the club income. If PIF funds go to all clubs in the SPL, you can be sure that Saudi efforts to build the League will not be in vain and will be realized in a short time.

It is undeniable that they do that one of them aims to boost popularity, and one that looks easy to do that is to bring many players who have popularity in Europe to join them, yes even though it has to spend deep pockets. But with their financial capabilities so strong, they can do it without feeling difficult and they have done it now and yes indeed the money they have to spend is very large money to appreciate just one player.

I am intrigued by what the Saudi Pro League has planned for the future if FIFA will be granted Saudi Arabia permission to host the 2030 World Cup. I hope that this will be forever. We do know saudi were mostly recruiting old players.
The things may change after saudi will able to host 2030 world cup. So many people putting their eyes on saudi regularly after so many superstars were coming to this league.

The Saudi government is allocating a lot of money to develop their league. Spending money is not difficult for them. Right now their goal is to inform the world about Saudi Arabia, to inform about Saudi Arabian football. And this is the goal they are moving towards. As far as I know Ronaldo has the most followers on social media. This is why Saudi Arabia was very interested in taking Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia. However, Saudi Arabia is keen to host the 2030 World Cup. And maybe before that they want to make the Saudi League more popular.

[bastisisca]

Ronaldo's performance dropped in Manchester United, I don?t really know the cause, but I was just thinking it might be due to his age because Ronaldo wasted lots of opportunities when he was in Manchester United. I also blamed him in some matches then, but I don?t know why you said it was not good for Ronaldo to continue his career in Europe, maybe you have other reasons for saying that.

I was reflecting on the fact that many players are migrating to Arabia due to the issue of high salaries. I hypothesized that Arabia wants to force its way into modern international football. however I don`t understand how.
Cristiano Ronaldo has certainly cleared this practice, however I remain a little sceptical.

I don`t see a real economic return, do they expect it? managing a team is always a losing business

buying so many talents doesn`t guarantee you a certain victory, see PSG. maybe they just want to make an otherwise flat and boring championship interesting and fun.
Anyway is a good way for talent reborn.

Saudi Arabia government are spending lot of money through PIF to boost Saudi Professional League. They give four biggest clubs a lot of money to buy star players from Europe and give those players very high salary as well as great privileges.

Ronaldo is like their league brand ambassador but after that, they continued to buy Benzema who just won Ballon d'Or two seasons ago. Ronaldo and Benzema decisions to join Saudi Professional League convinced more star players from Europe to move to Saudi Arabia. It is part of their plan to build up a stronger league that is a foundation for their national team. Aiming at World Cup 2030 with this ambitious plan looks good and at least Saudi Arabia has a stronger national team than Quatar. To prepare for World Cup 2022, Quatar had a long plan for their youth players but even so they could not achieve good results in World Cup 2022.

Hosting 2030 world cup has become the main target by saudi arabia. My intention was to convey that the country was prepared to allocate a significant amount of funds to achieve that target. I don't even think saudi will have ambition to spend a lot of money without getting paid off by achieving its target.
I hope FIFA will be choosing saudi as a country to host 2030 world cup. Saudi was pushing this caused by it will be also bring numerous investors to the country.
I saw that some western brand has been starting to make cooperation with some saudi clubs as the impact from recruiting so many great players with many fans. I must be honest if what already invested by saudi need long time to be paid off.

Saudi was just trying to take some advantages at the same time. It's a smart idea to spend a lot of money in football.

Yes, that is indeed the reason why Saudi chose to compete with the bigger ones in the competition right now because they know that sooner or later, they won't be that rich anymore to afford a humungous offer to whatever player they want. It might take long, yes because oil are still needed around the globe but it's already a fact that some time soon, it won't be that easy to acquire such.

Anyway, back to the topic. I know that SPL will eventually do it because they already started their move years ago and those same move are the reason why they are on the football map right now. Sooner or later, they will be much bigger and competitive, and can produce strong players of their own, locally.

Neymar was often criticized negatively by PSG supporters because of his poor performance in PSG. But in this case I would say that not only Neymar but also Messi doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. Due to which both have left the club.

European players have to face a little problem in Arab conditions because of the wide variation in weather. But they are performing very well there, like Ronaldo, he is in form. Moreover, the others who have come also adapted there very well. Saudi Clubs are providing various advantages to the players more then they deserve.

[shogun47]

I refrain myself from taking a bet on the match between taawoun and ahli. I prefer to take BTTS rather than picked a team that would be winning the game.
Al taawound could not be underrated at this moment. It's as strong as al hilal.

I like the BTTS bets as well and I guess this is a good game to go for that bet. Al-Ahli is anything but a safe bet as the moment. The loss against Al-Fateh was quite surprising although it doesn't mean too much so far.

I am now looking forward to the time after the break as I am curious whether Ronaldo & co can quickly catch up with the top teams of the table. No more failures allowed for now, but since they have been on fire recently I think they'll at least stay in reach.

Agree, who would have thought that Al Taawon would be able to have such good results. Because previously, only teams that made mega transfers were projected to dominate the Saudi Pro League, but in reality this was not the case at all. After all, Al Taawon also previously managed to beat Al Nassr with a good score of 0-2 and yeah, of course Al Taawon is not a very weak team. Although indeed, in the next match Al Taawon will play away against Al Ahli but yes, there is no definite guarantee for Al Ahli to be able to beat Al Taawon at this moment.

I am stilll convinced that the difference players like Ronaldo or Benzema are making is not that big. People tend to forget that these guys are old already and of course they can contribute to the game and make the team a bit better, but it is not like Ronaldo goes to a club and then out of a sudden that club never loses a game again. It is still the team and not a one man show.

The fact that a team has a world class players in their midst doesn't guarantee them to be 100% successful in a season, for instance PSG had world class players in their team that capable of delivering them the Champions league but they couldn't perform better in the tournament, having those plsyers only gave them an advantage to perform better and also scare their opponents based on the players influence and if Al-Nassr has performed better than Al Taawoun maybe they would had won the match.
 However age would always tell on players no matter how good or talented they're and CR7 is not very strong and vibrant as he used to be when he played for Man United and Realmadrid at a younger age, but anyways the lose against Al Taawoun doesn't write them off, Al-Nassr are still very stronger contenders this season.

[klidex]

The opening match this week will pit Al-Akhdoud against Al-Ittihad and this will be the first meeting between the two. I don't remember which team got promotion to the Saudi league this season apart from Al-Ahli and if Al-Akhdoud is the promoted team this season then they will face a tough challenge because they have to face the defending champions of the Saudi league last season. Currently Al-Akhdoud is in 13th position with 4 points from 5 matches and Al-Ittihad is in 3rd position which is only 1 point behind Al-Hilal. Of course Benzema and his friends have to get full points this time to unseat Al-Hilal and I think this will be an easy match. If you look at the odds, Al-Ittihad is very favored to win with odds @1.16, but I don't hesitate to bet with a handicap (-1.5) so I can get better odds @1.54.

It is clear who will be the winner in this match and I think even though Al-Ittihad is playing away against Al-Akhdoud, this will be an opportunity to get additional points for Al-Ittihad to catch up on points with Al-Taawon and Al-Hilal.
I will be more confident if this club will win the upcoming match because Benzema as a player who can be relied on for now can provide a greater chance of winning and will not let Al-Akhdoud win in this match and another thing Benzema has full support from other players from Al-Ittihad which will provide greater strength and high enthusiasm for Benzema.
Betting on this match choosing a handicap @-1.5 is very good, but if you are just trying your luck choosing the option @-1.75 with Odds @1.7 is also quite good.

Yes, one way for the Saudi Pro League to become more popular is to consistently recruit great and famous players who previously played in Europe. Because if they can be consistent in this way, then of course the Saudi Pro League will remain popular even if Ronaldo is no longer there. But indeed, the changes made by the Saudi Pro League are crazy, because they really throw a lot of money easily to be able to recruit famous players. So basically, in this season also the Saudi Pro League has become popular, but it seems that they are still not satisfied until here and will continue to make major developments from time to time.

In my opinion, when Saudi Pro League clubs bring in quality players, of course there is a long-term goal for Saudi Arabia, especially Saudi Pro League football. Apart from that, it will also be a motivation for the younger generation to continue to develop and produce talented players in each club's football academy. This may be related to Saudi Arabia's goal of hosting the world cup. Apart from wanting to advance the League to make it more popular, of course this is also for profit. Now the Saudi Pro League is officially broadcast in 140 countries and revenue from broadcast rights has increased by 650%. The Saudi Pro League also sent 4 club representatives to the Asian Champions League.

[bayu7adi]

because they really throw a lot of money easily to be able to recruit famous players.

I have consistently anticipated Mohamed Salah's potential move to the Arab league, as it appears that Al Ittihad is quite keen on acquiring this Muslim player. We are aware that Salah practices the Islamic faith, and my hope is that by joining the Saudi Pro League, he can find a more serene playing environment and garner appreciation from the Muslim community in the Arab world.

So basically, in this season also the Saudi Pro League has become popular, but it seems that they are still not satisfied until here and will continue to make major developments from time to time.

In terms of the Arab League's popularity, I believe it can be likened to the current state of Ligue 1 in France. Because Arab teams do not have a presence in the Champions League, their popularity hasn't quite reached a prominent position at the moment. However, it's worth noting that Neymar concurs that the Arab League holds greater allure compared to Ligue 1.
