Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Volgastallion]

The game of yesterday was what the Saudi League needs to become a new football light in the world, it was a very fun to watch game between Al Nasrs and Al Ahli. This was a mayor test for the league, because if they failed and was a boring game, nobody will see the next important game between big teams.

[tusandii]

The score of 4-3 for Al-Nassr's victory took them to 5th place, shifting Al-Ahli's place this week and indeed Al-Nassr will be a nuisance to the two teams in the title race if Al-Nassr continues to be consistent in the following weeks.

Al Nassr are the only team in the top 10 position to have a clean sweep of their last 5 games as they have won all and that's why they're just 3 points behind the table toppers, this season the Saudi Pro league has become more competitive and we can see this is the games. Yesterday game was an interesting one and both teams gave it their best but the better team won. Ronaldo prove why he's the best in the opponents box by scoring as he has been doing for past games. The title race is just heating up because Al Nassr won't slow down so it's left for the other teams to up their games so they can maintain their position because Al Nassr are coming for the title this season, Ronaldo eyes are on the title. He's a winner and will always make sure he gets the title for any club he plays for. We can see that he's the one carrying the whole squad as he keep scoring every weeks but also Sadio mane and Talisca are contributing.

This a sign that Al Nasr has greater consistency after being able to secure 5 consecutive wins in every match and also the chances Ronaldo and Mane bringing this club to the top of the standings will be a little more certain if they will at least secure 2 more wins? I believe that Ronaldo can always give good results and perfect achievements like now Ronaldo was able to bring his best score to Al Nasr and in fact if Ronaldo had not failed to control the ball in the 8th minute it would have ended with a score of 5 but unfortunately the ball was not on target and Al Ahli were lucky to get a narrow score because of the penalty which gave 1 additional score and if we look at it in reality it was not a violation but nevertheless it was a wise decision from the referee.
I saw that Ronaldo performance in controlling the ball was very impressive in the last goal. Controlling the ball with tactics to outwit the opponent impressed me and I believe that in the next 2 matches Ronaldo will still make a good contribution and secure additional points, he will definitely be able to shift the position the Al Ittihad club.

[SmartCharpa]

Ronaldo always appears to be the differentiator in the Al Nassr squad, he is able to contribute through his goals which can raise their fighting spirit in this match. Al Nassr's success in getting full points in this match made their ranking rise to 5th in the standings and the point difference with the top team is only 3 points, meaning that next week the ranking changes will continue to occur.

Since they acquired Sadio Mane, AL Nassr's performance has improved significantly compared to when they only had Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo really proved to Firmino and Mahrez that he was still the greatest player of all time by scoring more goals against them. It was great to see Al Nassr's beat Al Ahli with the great players they had. I can also compare yesterday's match with a European game because it was really tough though, but most players cannot even score one goal for the entire season just because of age, and Ronaldo was still proving them wrong, except his leg cannot play anymore.

The score of 4-3 for Al-Nassr's victory took them to 5th place, shifting Al-Ahli's place this week and indeed Al-Nassr will be a nuisance to the two teams in the title race if Al-Nassr continues to be consistent in the following weeks.

Al Nassr is on their way to get the title this season. Ronaldo has affected the team for good.
I think FIFA or whatever football body can effect this, should ban those smoke flares (I don't know the actual name) that fans bring to stadium. They make visibility very poor. In the just concluded despite the win by Al Nassr, I hate the smoke all over the stadium. Maybe there should be a research that would conducted to if it these smokes affects the player's morale positively.

The game of yesterday was what the Saudi League needs to become a new football light in the world, it was a very fun to watch game between Al Nasrs and Al Ahli. This was a mayor test for the league, because if they failed and was a boring game, nobody will see the next important game between big teams.

With all the players they've brought in and the money they've spent, there's certainly created a good competition in the SPL. It's obvious that the league is improving with time and players getting use to the circumstances temperature and fields which are different from Europe ones.
We are also seeing the showup of talented Saudi Arabian players who have performed well during this season and sometimes better than most the new player. Many people might wonder why they weren't well known earlier or why specifically this season. The reason is simple, they are now playing alongside stars like Ronaldo, Neymar, Benzema, and a long list of European players. Viewers and fans are increasing every day, and I believe that in previous seasons, Saudi Arabian stadiums rarely saw such crowds until this season. All of this can be achieved with a good investment and planning to bring attention to SPL.

Surprisingly, Cristiano even at his age is now leading the top scorer and assists standings with 9 goals and 4 assists. He has performed a great match yesterday and played an important role in the victory against Al Ahli, which was great match to watch. Al Nasr needed those three points, bringing them closer to the top spot with only a three point gap, despite their bad start in the league.

[dezoel]

Al-Nassr definitely got a huge win, that three points matters a lot and should be considered a great deal for them. I get that it's not really that much of an amazing situation at the current moment but it is definitely something that is entertaining to see and will be important by the end of the season, you are not just getting 3 points yourself but you are making your biggest rivals lose 3 points as well so it's like 6 points.

Ronaldo played amazingly and his goals were amazing too, everyone online like reddit and twitter and other places are still sharing that first goal where we didn't even see the goal . The fact that he scored even at that point with all that much cloud, it's definitely an amazing start to the game.

Three very important points for Al Nassr, they must to be got full points to come closer with top in the standings. Al Nassr currently only has a difference of three points with Ittihad who are currently at the top of the standings, with that result which is very good for Al Nassr because their gap is not too big. Since Mane joined their attacks line became more unstoppable and makes very difficult opponent, I think Al Nassr should be able to score lots of goals because they have lots of golden opportunities at there. Yes, Ronaldo played amazingly and also Talisca in that match wasn't too bad although he made a mistake because he made a foul, but he contributed very well.

[Leviathan.007]

After the game between Al Nassr and Al Ahli the Al Ahli players and coaches were thinking the referee didn't make good decisions and one reason for them to lose the game was because of the referee in this game.
Al Ahli spent and invested a huge amount of money for the players they have in this season and they expect to have better results but Matthias Jaissle seemed unhappy because of the referee in that great game.

[BRINIRHA]

At first glance, it may seem like they are wasting money. However, I would say that they are wasting money when there is no impact to their overall League. The first thing I would say is that it has an impact on the popularity of the league and we are seeing that now. What I want to say is not for now, but for the future. I mean how ready are they to stay consstent with what they are doing right now. I don't want to see what they're doing now have no impact on the future sustainability of their league.
Yes it's an investment, I agree with you, but they have to finish what they started.

Arabs have long been famous for their cleverness in trading and investing. That is why they are currently a very rich country and their citizens are also prosperous. Apart from the fact that they have kerosene mining. They have been reliable traders since ancient times who always travel to various countries.

That is why even this time I believe in PIF's steps in investing its money in the sports sector, especially in football, namely through clubs that are under their control such as Al-Hilal, Al-ittihad, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli. And I think they buy many football stars as a business or investment that will benefit them. And look now, many TV stations or pay TV are subscribing to broadcast the Arab League in various countries, which was never the case before. And even if you look at the funds prepared for investment in the football sector, there is still quite a lot. So next season there will be many other star players who will be brought in by the clubs under PIF ownership. And slowly other clubs followed suit by buying other European players.

Business in the field of soccer is actually much more profitable than we think. Even though it does involve some things that are quite taboo to talk about. That is why in European football we have long seen many expensive transfers taking place. Those who dare to spend a lot of money definitely have reasons and benefits that they already see the potential for. Because most club owners are financially successful people. So they definitely know what they are doing.

The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo has had a big influence on the mentality of the Al Nassr squad, efforts to cut points with leaders Al Ittihad have been successful. Even though Al Ahli has sufficient squad depth, Mahrez and Fermino are not yet supported by a good defensive line. After making a less than promising start at the start of the season, now Al Nassr is back on a positive trend by winning 7 consecutive wins.

Now AL Nassr is 3 points away from Al Ittihad at the top of the standings, I think the victory over AL Ahli is very valuable for Ronaldo and his friends. Now Ronaldo is increasingly firmly on the SPL top scorer list with 9 goals, age is just a number for him.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a top player with lengthy experience in football, he's an incredible player that only strives for the best results in games. He has done quite a spectacular accomplishment in football, winning the major trophies in Europe, like English Premier league titles, La Liga, UEFA Champions League and Ballon d'Or on club levels, and also lifting an international trophy, Euro trophy with Portugal when they defeat France Euro 2016 grand final. He's different specie, despite he's old, there's alot he would offered at his present age. I keep repeating this statement, Al Nassr are fortunate to have Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, he brought fame to Saudi Pro League, generating a stream for European players to signed for SPL clubs.

I have comments about him. he is still performing like what he used to be even when al nassr was facing al ahli which was also buying a bunch of players from EPL and i remember some players transferred from newcastle like saint maximint.
Ronaldo is always trying to make sure his stamina will not be drained by his age that is getting older. This is the reason ronaldo is always able showing stable performance since he keeps his lifestyle very healthy and i really appreciate his hard work to always keep his stamina.

I must praise him to be one of best player in the world caused by he was not only able playing so well at his age but his physic and stamina are still strong at this moment.
Ronaldo has almost the same age like modric but he is still deliver for the club. His age doesn't matter a lot but his proper finishing, sprint and many more still good.

Why is there speculation like this on the part of Al Ahli, defeat is still defeat even though arguments like that cannot restore the situation. There are still many matches left and Al Ahli in these matches showed less than optimal play. Whether the referee decision is considered one-sided or not, the referee remains the judge on the field. I'm sure the Al Ahli players admit that Al Nassr current performance is above them. The opportunity in the SPL is still quite open and it is possible that in the next match against Al Ettifaq we can get full points.

It was good to see both Cristiano Ronaldo and Talisca working together to defeat the challenge from Al Ahli. But at the same time, Al Ahli put up a spirited performance as well. Franck Kessié scored their first goal in 30th minute, to take them to 1-2. But by half-time, Al Nassr was leading by 3-1 and then the second goal from Ronaldo made it 4-2 (Riyad Mahrez scored second one for Al Ahli). Firas Al-Buraikan made it 4-3 and after that Al Ahli was trying desperately for the equalizer, but then they couldn't breach the Al Nassr defenses.

Talisca rarely gets the opportunity to play. he was also the top scorer for Al Nassr before Ronaldo and Mane came to the team. I think these three could be a dangerous forward combination for Al Nassr. I think the coach should give him more opportunities to play in the team. He has tried hard to show his quality in this match.

Al Nassr is still several points behind Ittihad and Al Hilal. I think Al Nassr still needs consistency of play to be able to catch up. The battle is still long and they must have many tactics to continue competing.

for the time being, the only players who are Al Nassr scoring machines are Ronaldo and Mane and other players in this team such as Talisca will be additional scorers because since the arrival of Ronaldo and Mane, all Al Nassr players really trust these two scoring machines every time. Al Nassr players who get the ball even if they kick it themselves will certainly be able to score but prefer to pass to Ronaldo or Mane to provide a more precise finish. so that the other players on this team seemed to have almost no chance to score even though everything had been arranged by the coach to provide the right pass for Ronaldo. however, I still say that Al Nassr is still in consistent condition at the moment and I will continue to support it if it can shift first position in the standings with a very small point difference.

At the start of this season Al Ahli performed quite impressively and could be said to be very good because they showed consistent progress and in the last 3 seasons alone Al Ahli experienced a downturn so for this season perhaps they will rise and return to success and become one of the strongest for the Saudi Pro League.

In yesterday match everyone would have known that Al Nassr would be superior and had a big chance of winning over Al Ahli and it was true that Al Nassr won even though Al Ahli also tried hard to equalize but they failed until the final minute.

Now Al Nassr is getting better at improving its standings and only has a few points difference from the teams above it for Ittihad FC alone it is only 3 points different from Al Nassr and in the next few matches Al Nassr can get 2nd or 3rd position if successful get another win.

[rendravolt]

Yesterday Al-Wehda also won decisively against Abha with a score of 4-0 without reply. If we look at the results of this match and look at the standings board indirectly, Al-Wehda is stalking Al-Nassr and also Al-Ahli with a distance of 3 points. Seeing Al-Wehda's journey at the start of this season, which had a fairly consistent performance, means they have good enough capital not to finish at the bottom of the table again. However, for a mediocre Saudi League team, this result is very good as a consideration so that they do not fall into the red zone. However, Al-Wehda also cannot be so calm considering that next week they will face Al-Fateh, who are currently right below them and only 1 point behind.

Yes it's an investment, I agree with you, but they have to finish what they started.

I don't think like you. It is true that the Saudi Arabian government is wasting money. But I will not say that there is no benefit. A few years back we didn't even know about the Saudi League. We started to learn about the league slowly after Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia. And several more star players from Europe have joined the Saudi Arabian League this season. It cost Saudi Arabia a lot of money, but it resulted in the promotion of the Saudi League. As a result, the world is getting to know about the Saudi League. I think there will be many more talented players in Saudi Arabia in the next few years. If the Saudi league improves, the overall improvement of football in Saudi Arabia will happen.

Come on guys, you can understand more of what I said before. I said that they throw money "when" there is no impact for their league, and here what they do has a positive impact and that is from various things one of which is popularity.
It's part of the process, and I would consider it a very natural thing when money is the first step to doing something bigger. Moreover, they have the ability, yes we know they are rich entrepreneurs who are already known to many people.

Yes, it is true that the Arabs are a nation that is good at trading and investing, I agree about that. I also heard a lot of history in the past that is remarkable from this nation.
Football has now become a business field, so it's no wonder when many rich people flock to start entering the world of football.
Yes it happened after they brought Cristiano Ronaldo, with just one person it has brought a lot of stations scrambling for broadcasting rights to broadcast SPL matches, especially now when it is not just one person, but many popular players who enter and join SPL clubs.

Indeed, this is very surprising. The steps taken by Arab clubs who dared to pay many times more to bring in European star players have indeed received quite mixed responses. Some say it was a bad move. And there are those who also think that the Arab League's steps are brilliant.

I personally think that the Arab League's move to bring in many European star players is also a very genius move. They fish with big bait to get bigger fish.

In fact, you are right that now the Arab League has even been broadcast in almost 140 countries after Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Al-Nassr. And according to one of the news stories and Twitter that I read, the Arab League saw an increase in revenue of up to 630%. I think this is not a joke. And this is really a big advantage that the Arab side gets without even having to wait long. There is no doubt that Arabs are good at business.

The game of yesterday was what the Saudi League needs to become a new football light in the world, it was a very fun to watch game between Al Nasrs and Al Ahli. This was a mayor test for the league, because if they failed and was a boring game, nobody will see the next important game between big teams.

I don't even think people would stop to watch it if the previous game was a boring game. I remind you ronaldo has the biggest fanbase in the world. There would still be thousands of his fans were watching him to play.
The fans are only willing to see their superstars in action.

The game of yesterday was what the Saudi League needs to become a new football light in the world, it was a very fun to watch game between Al Nasrs and Al Ahli. This was a mayor test for the league, because if they failed and was a boring game, nobody will see the next important game between big teams.

What should the Saudi League need after making such a big transfer? I just watched Al Nassr's match against Al Ahli which was very interesting because both of them tried to score goals to get points. From the video highlights, the Al Nassr vs Al Ahli match was very hot in tempo and in my opinion the game of both teams was more interesting than La Liga and the playing style was faster than Serie A and was similar to the playing style of the English Premier League.

Apart from the fast game with a tight tempo, I am interested in the referee who officiates every match in the Saudi Pro League even though there is news that the Al Ahli coach is disappointed with the referee who officiates in this big match.
