Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Hirose UK]

In the last weeks, we heard some news about a Saudi team trying to hire Robert Lewandowski from Barcelona, however, this palyer is very effective in Barcelona but I think he is getting old and Barcelona is also interested in earning some money and helping their financial situation. He rejected the offers from the Saudi League in the summer but I think these offers are still there for the next transfer window when Saudis will have more chance.

Actually it's a good idea to release Lewandowski but not for this season because Barcelona still needs this player in attack and we also understand that Barcelona will not hold Lewandowski for the long term it's just that we don't know whether Lewandowski is interested in moving to the Saudi Pro League in the next 2 seasons. Lewandowski's market value continues to decline in every season we can check it on transfermarkt.com and Barcelona certainly does not want to lose the potential of profits when releasing it
.

He is a very competitive striker for Barcelona so it is unlikely that this season or next season Barcelona will release Lewandowski to play with the Saudi team but when Lewandowski performance has decreased significantly maybe Barcelona will immediately release him but I am not sure whether the Saudi team will be there interested in Lewandowski because he is getting older and his performance has declined.
In fact when they really want to make a profit Barcelona must immediately release Lewandowski and look for a replacement for another young player because this is a rare time when a Saudi team makes a large nominal offer for a player who is quite old.
But it comes back to Barcelona management whether they want to make some profit from the sale of Lewandowski or instead keep him as a player they can rely on.

recruiting Lewandowski is a very good decision to get a player who is a bit old but still has very good performance and can still be used effectively as a forward in one of the SPL teams later. of course there will be many who agree here and have the same opinion because Barcelona financial situation is also not good, they definitely need more money and prefer to keep young players from academics and later when the transfer market opens I am sure the team from the SPL will definitely make a very big offer. big to redeem Lewandowski and this opportunity should not be missed because for me Xavi should prefer to keep young players selling old players to get younger and more talented players. but I can not confirm which SPL team will make an offer to Lewandowski.

But he's willing to join Barcelona means he's not really looking to earn big amount of money, joining Europa league seems hard because they're always looking to sign a young player. Maybe Italia league seems to be a good option, he can join Inter since they lack of striker.

By the way, how can you be so sure that the Saudi Pro League is rigged? Is there a clear source stating that, or is it just your suspicion?

Sorry mate, I was joking about that

Al Nassr is one of big team in Saudi Pro League before Ronaldo comes, so that's why they're most likely will finish in the top 5 positions in every season.

Maybe next season that will really happen, but of course he, as a pretty good player, will only accept offers from clubs that have the opportunity to keep him getting the title there, so the consideration is not only about the salary he will get but also achievements, because at least that's what he always does get when playing for two big clubs in Europe, and clubs from the Saudi pro league that have quite good achievements are the four clubs under the auspices of the Public Investment Fund.

The Al Ahli vs Ettifaq match ended goalless, Al Ahli wasted the opportunity to get full points, and even though they managed to take many shots unfortunately only three were on target but that was not enough for them to score and neither did the visiting team.

AL Ahli has not been very good in the last 4 matches without a win. Now we can see the inconsistency of the game from the AL Ahli team which is experiencing a decline. maybe after this they should really plan to get winning points. they just returned this season after last season's relegation with a bad performance. Of course they don't want to perform badly again and want to stay in the SPL with a fairly strong position in the standings.
maybe to compete for trophies they will have difficulty. but to be in the middle of the table I think they can maintain it.

Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq.

This match, according to what I predicted in the previous post. even though Al-Ahli is superior in this match, both in terms of player depth, being the home team and at the same time based on the odds held by the home team. Unfortunately, the home team was unable to win this match. One of the main factors for me is that Firmino seems to be having problems scoring goals in match after match. After making his debut, he looked very convincing by scoring a hat-trick. but after that, Firmino seemed to lose his sharpness. Even though he didn't play badly in this match, the fact is that he was unable to give his squad a win.
I think Mattihias Jaissle has to find a way to break his team's deadlock. if necessary, he can change the system. or, rotate some of the players to find the ideal formula. If it continues like this, Al-Ahli will have difficulty entering the top 4 of the Saudi Pro League standings.

Meanwhile, Al-Ettifaq provided fairly balanced resistance. Even though they only had a total of 4 shots, they had 3 big chances. It's only natural that Steven Gerrard's squad has difficulty penetrating their opponent's defense line. because in terms of players, the two teams have quite a gap. As for Moussa Dembele, he underperformed. As a result, the match ended 0-0, and both teams had to be willing to share the points.

My estimates for this match were actually a little off. Because I favored Al-Ettifaq in that match. Because although Al-Ettifaq did not buy as many European players as Al-Ahli did. But Al-Ettifaq's performance has always been very good.

I like the strategy used by S. Gerrard which makes the pattern of play shown more similar to the pattern of European football. Jordan Henderson, who is the captain at Al-Ettifaq, is also always able to provide important support in every match played by Al-Ettifaq.

But I think the draw is quite fair. Because both teams show equal strength. But I agree about Firminho who has not shown his sharpness again in several matches. But if Firminho can restore his sharpness then I think Al-Ahli will win this match. Unfortunately Firminho has not returned to his best performance.

[jostorres]

But Al-Hilal has one problem - Neymar   It seems that now it is the club that is dragging the player up and not vice versa as planned. Neymar missed the penalty and I think his extremely sensitive nature is becoming increasingly stressed. I think if future opponents are cynical enough, they can easily provoke him into receiving a yellow card and then a red card. I'm sure someone in the Premier League would have done this already.

Al Hilal won their game despite Neymar Jr missed penalty in the first half. Al Hilal is a good team that deserves the best results because they've worked so hard for it. Alot of things won't fall in shape because they have big name in their midst. Neymar Jr have an outstanding performance in every piece of game he featured in but he keeps wasting crucial goal scoring chances that would have boosted his performance, instead he settled for providing assists which are not even up to the basis of his standard. Secondly, he's aggressive and popularly recognized with using the wrong language against his opponents and the referee on the pitch, which often triggered his yellow cards in his new team.

Al Hilal having good advantage against Al Shabab with they lost only one game from last ten and won five which is clearly indicating there is no competition between these two clubs and recent investment create good difference of quality Neymar Jr missed penalty create some hype but at the end we have two goals with Koulibaly and Metrovic done good job and bring their team at the top of league table.

There is too much talk about Neymar and his future at this club Al Hilal which spend huge amount for bringing him to this club most chances things could be normal because this league is not competitive like we have in UEFA, so he can give more playing time without any serious injury, but good thing is they have no long contract which will help Al Hilal in case of any problem right now they are working on few other options as well which will be clear in 2024 transfer window.

Saudi will not able to get him till his contract will be running out in barcelona. It's caused by xavi still sees him as a potential striker even though lewandowski is aged now but it's not a problem at all since lewandowski still has some years remaining at this moment in barcelona.
I think that if the chance for him to go to the saudi pro league is pretty small caused by he prefers to stay at barcelona till his contract will expire. The possibility is very low for him to go to the saudi pro league.
I think that if saudi has no chance to get him even though lewandowski was old enough at this moment as a striker.

Saudi clubs attempts to bring important big names over to their league inother to gain more attention and concentration, they did that this summer and also focuses on doing another spree of signings important players over. Though numerous players turned down their offer because they are keen on winning significant titles in European football. Barcelona have such of these talents sighted by Saudi clubs, Robert Lewandowski onced turned down these offers, because he's ambitious to play for the team he craved so much for all these years, Barcelona. He won't throw all this away after not achieving significant titles with his new team, rather he will fight for his position and earned the deserved accolades.

By the way, how can you be so sure that the Saudi Pro League is rigged? Is there a clear source stating that, or is it just your suspicion?
Anyway, I think it's normal that Al Nassr is not at the top of the table at the moment because after all, the reality is that it's not only Al Nassr that has a star squad, because there are still other teams that also have players with luxurious quality. So yes, I feel it's just a normal competition because after all, if the Saudi Pro League is proven to be rigged, then of course the Saudi Pro League will be investigated and also get punished of course.

I think it's just a personal opinion and we can't prove it unless we see how the match in this league runs until the end of the season then we can suspect whether the winner of the league has been determined or indeed through normal competition. To be honest, sometimes I also think the same thing is that some of the matches have been arranged, for example when the strongest team against a weak team but a strong team lost but because it cannot be proven, we consider it a normal match.

Everyone is free to give his opinion but as things are going and mostly clubs are spending huge funds I feel this is not rigged because they are trying to have fair competitive matches with top four are near at same level on quality and performance which is good and things will be clear in coming days as well we have improved quality, and they are surely going to spend big in coming years as well for the improvement of quality and performance which mean things are fair not rigged.

Saudi League organizers are doing good job Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal could be in competition for the win of title but in presence of few other top clubs it's not easy to have things easy because we have Al Ahli and Al Ettifaq as well which are trying their best for the win.

I've been following the Lewandowski story closely. Despite being older, he's a great player. The man is performing well at Barcelona, with João's assistance. Barcelona may be seeing money because they have money issues. Since there's no clear substitute, I don't think they'll let him leave. Lewy? Other top players have accepted Saudi agreements. He makes good decisions and is talented

I also doubt that Barcelona will let R.Lewandowski go if they don't find a suitable replacement. Because even though R. Lewandowski is 35 years old. But his abilities on the field really still exceed the young players that Barcelona currently has. Which means he still cannot be replaced at this time.

But the problem is that Arab clubs will not give up easily. And maybe in the transfer market next season these Arab clubs will be more aggressive in approaching R.Lewandowski with a higher offer.

Despite Robert Lewandowski age, his performance for his team has been unwavering and fantastic. When he was to be signed, I knew his stay in that club won’t be for a long time considering his age and how many active year will be left for him to perform before he finally retires or go for a lesser competitive league in another club. This offers coming for him now shows that his days at Barcelona will be shortened and will not have an option very soon if he doesn’t leave to join another club when he’s still performing good and good offers are coming for him. Barcelona will soon look for a replacement for him, but before that he should weigh his option and make a decision as early as possible for a continued productive career before he finally retires.

With no goals scored, it seems like the Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq match was quite boring and we can see from the existing statistics that not many chances were created and the 0-0 draw meant the two only shared 1 point. As hosts, Al-Ahli failed to get full points even though they had a much better squad than Al-Ettifaq, but in fact they were not as usual and they were not even able to score 1 goal. Meanwhile for Al-Ettifaq, of course this is a pretty good result considering that in the away game they can still get points. This result means that the two of them will compete again in the following week because the distance between the two is not that far, only 1 point apart in the standings.

Al-Ahli was filled with confidence of defeating Al-Ettifaq but their expectations was cut short when VAR ruled out Roberto Firmino goal in the first half, which would have given them hope and lead to follow against their opponents, everything stand reluctant as Al-Ettifaq never pulled to pressure the home side, instead they did settle for defensive formation that made goal-less draw against Al-Ahli. Confidence remains the one essential attributes that would forged any average club to win an elite one. Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq was a tough game, which no sides was able to make difference on the pitch.

Lewandowski is an excellent striker. He was well aware that he was getting old. This is why he left Bayern Munich to join Barcelona. Barcelona don't play very fast football. They play the tikitaka trick. And this is why Lewandowski was able to continue to perform consistently well for 35 years with Barcelona. Had he joined a Premier League team, he might not have been able to perform so well. And maybe couldn't keep up his fitness.

He will also leave Barcelona and join a competitive league in the next few years. Saudi League may be the best option for Lewandowski. He will be able to earn a lot of money in the Saudi League. And the Saudi league is much less competitive. Therefore, even at the age of 37/38 years, it will not be a difficult task for Lewandowski to perform consistently in the Saudi league.

Lewandowski did not stay in Bayern because he wanted a 3-year contract extension, but Bayern only offered one. It was a forced decision to move to Barcelona, but judging by the decline in his productivity even in La Liga (relative to the Bundesliga), it is clear that, firstly, Bayern were unusually rational and precise in their proposal, and secondly, for Lewandowski this transition turned out to be in some sense an extension careers.

That would be unfair towards the effort he puts into his health. I think there are not that many players who do as much for their health as Lewandowski does. He is the Ronaldo kind of guy and when he left Bayern Munich, he scored 35 goals in that season. I doubt that he would have been much worse than that the next season because of age. He chose Barcelona because it was always his dream and seriously, who wouldn't want to live in Barcelona and play for the club?

Al-Ahli with another draw which keeps Mahrez and Firmino stuck in the table. They have also had a good start into the season.

I don't think anyone is trying to doubt the football abilities of Robert Lewandowski despite his current age at the moment. He's one of the best centre forward strikers in the world at the moment but I also think that since it's very obvious that age isn't on his side, it'll be a good move to sign for a Saudi club in the next summer.
He's done exceptionally well for Barcelona and was one of the main reasons they were crowned Spanish La Liga champions last season so if he decides to move to Saudi Arabia to seek a new football challenge, it'll be a good move.

Even this all is rumor because most chances he will try to stay in Barcelona which is his priority for his rest of career, and he already rejected an offer from Saudi League with Barcelona is surely looking for good amount which will help them for having better things, but this all depends on how this deal will be gone because right now we have two more years for Robert Lewandowski to stay here so hopefully 2024 will be important with many top players are under radar of organizers in Saudi League which are looking for better results and improved quality in coming season.

Currently, this combo of Robert Lewandowski and Barcelona surely doing impressive job and have more to do in future, but we talk about money which is needed by Barcelona for ending their huge deficit is also important for them because now they are also having few good players which can keep things at the top for them in future.
