Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[BRINIRHA]

The Saudi Pro League is competitive no doubt, I've watched my favorites team elevates into brilliant form and they're quite improving. Al Ittihad brought Karim Benzema from Real Madrid for him to deliver the club in crucial moment but it looks like he's not meeting up the expectations set, rather underperforming and currently unavailable due to sustained injury. Benzema have not prove his worth this season but I think it's just a matter of time before he bounce back to good shape. Al Ittihad stats this season, 6W 3D 3L they're quite weighing into excellent form.

I also think like bro. It's only a matter of time until Benzema can finally get better at the club. Because I still believe that he can still return to the best performance he ever had before. Because it doesn't make sense if he suddenly loses his best performance on the field. Because even so, he is still the best currently at Al-ittihad. It's just that he hasn't really been able to integrate into the game strategy scheme at the Al-Ittihad Club. And in fact it's not just Benzema who is having difficulty adapting. But Firminho also had difficulty adapting at Al-Ahli. I think slowly everyone will return to their best performance and make the SPL even more heated. Mane at Al-Nassr was able to adapt well because he was very comfortable playing with CR7. Because CR7 is indeed a figure who can pamper his teammates at the club. Look at every assist CR7 makes. that's always a pretty lovely assist.

^^^ Benzema has done a decent job so far, with 5 goals from 10 matches. But the problem is that the club (Al-Ittihad) is not doing well recently. They are 11 points behind Al Hilal and are at the 6th position in points table currently. They are even behind weak clubs such as Al-Taawoun and Al-Fateh. One reason for this is that the combination of Karim Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah hasn't clicked so far. Individually, these two are some of the best players in the world right now. But they seems to have an issue while playing together.

I cannot accept a performance of 5 goals in 10 matches from Benzema as good. Look at Ronaldo, he has 12 goals and 7 assists at his age. I expected Benzema to perform similarly, but we were wrong about this. Benzema is performing poorly, we have to accept that.

Ronaldo is playing in his second season. Benzema was drafted just ahead of the start of the season and he didn't got much time to get adjusted. Also, don't forget the fact that Ronaldo had a very ordinary season during 2022-23. Another factor is that Benzema suffered from several injury issues during the last few months. All that said, I am quite confident that he will bounce back and contribute to Al Ittihad in a positive way. As such Al Ittihad has a quite balanced squad. It may take a while for them to find the correct equilibrium though.

It is true that Ronaldo has more time in his club and Saudi Professional League than Benzema. More time for adaptation to a new club and a new league can make difference between two player's performances. It is one of reasons but I see a bigger reason is their fitness. Cristiano Ronaldo has better fitness than Benzema when both players are healthy, not injured. Benzema since his transfer to Al Ittihad, got some injuries that even affected his performances that are already limited in intensity.

Hopefully Benzema will recover from injuries and can play rest of season with more appearances for Al Ittihad. I really want to see interesting race between Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema as a best scorer in Saudi Professional League.

Like me, he has performed far better than this during his days at Real Madrid, and he was one of the best strikers in the world; thus, I expect much from him, especially given that he is playing in the Saudi Pro League, which is below the standard of his former team, Real Madrid. I understand that his relationship with Abderrazak Hamdallah has been strained, but Benzema is a player who battles for and scores goals despite his youth. I expect him to demonstrate his talent in a few games in order to improve his performance, as other players who have left their prior clubs have continued to outperform them.

If we look at last season before Benzema's arrival, Al-Ittihad were more able to play freely but for some reason after Benzema's arrival they had difficulty scoring goals. With Benzema, their attack line should have become more deadly, but instead it became dull. I don't know what problems surround Al-Ittihad so that they have to leave the competition at the top of the standings and if they continue like this they could fail to defend the Saudi league title they won last season. On the other hand, the coach must provide the right strategy for his players and be able to find the right combination of tactics so that Benzema and the other players can be productive again.

After the last transfer season finished, what I saw was that the unity of the Al Ittihad players had still not reached the perfect point. So the Al Ittihad players have not been able to keep up with the game of new players from European leagues such as Kante and Benzema. The reason is that in the last match against Al Quwa alone, Karim Benzema and Kante actually played very well. However, the other Al Ittihad players were unable to match the game of these two players, so the game scheme that had been planned by the Al Ittihad coach was a little less than optimal.

Indeed, if we compare Al Ittihad performance before Benzema arrived and after Benzema arrived at Al Ittihad. The performance differences are very specific. Because as we know, last season Al Ittihad managed to win the SPL league with a very good record, namely only 2 defeats. Meanwhile, this season, Al Ittihad has lost 3 times. Even though this season has only lasted 12 matches/12 weeks. So this season, Al Ittihad can be said to be experiencing a decline in performance. Although currently Al Ittihad players are superior in quality to last season's players. However, in reality, Al Ittihad performance is not good.

[makishart]

He is an ambitious and very successful actor. He works constantly and does not lose anything from his work. She is determined and takes good care of her body. As such, he can perform magnificently even at the age of 38. I think the best performing player between these ages is Ronaldo in the history of football. He's a complete machine.

When age was affecting the performance from other player but it's just a number for ronaldo. Ronaldo is always keeping his body is always healthy to protect his performance. Im also feeling good when watching him play for al nassr. Ronaldo at his age is still showing consistency.
The thing that i can't even understand that why ronaldo being placed at 829. UEFA is a complete corrupt. Ronaldo will always try to keep his performance stable even though his age becomes even older than before.
Ronaldo has everything he needs in al nassr. He got everything to keep his condition become even more stable. Im seeing that how ronaldo is not getting older when i saw his face.

It's unlike other player like rooney which is having a lot of transformation on his body. Ronaldo reminds me with ibra and buffon. This GOAT is always try to give the best for his club.
Ronaldo seems happy to play there despite so many parties were mocking him last season. I think that saudi pro league will become even bigger.

Indeed and as you said, Al-Ittihad is way better in terms of players while its results aren't that good comparing to the previous season because simply, many of its opponents have improved their squad by recruiting many players with good quality, making the Saudi Pro League different than the previous seasons.
The situation of the club right now isn't reassuring with many points being lost in the last 5 matches mainly. All teams above them are doing good and the points difference is getting bigger. Right now we are talking about 11 points difference from Al-Hilal which seems to be the best candidate for the first place.

[beerlover]

Maybe Benzema really needs a longer adaptation like C.Ronaldo did last season. Well, even last season, when C.Ronaldo first came to Al-Nassr, he had a little difficulty scoring goals. Because actually there is a slight difference in playing patterns in European clubs and in Asian clubs, especially in the Arab league. But I estimate that in the second half of this season, Benzema will be able to show his best performance again like he did at Real Madrid. Because C.Ronaldo got better at the start of this season. But last season C.Ronaldo was not immediately able to adapt well.

Ronaldo scored his first goal in his third game with Al Nassr and it was a penalty. He scored his free-kick after nearly seven months and kept scoring only penalties until he got used to the Saudi Arabia league. The weather and style of play of the SPL is different from what Karim Benzema is used to in Europe so he needs time to get used to the League. The high temperature makes playing strength consuming and energy exusting. The former world's best player will improve if he is injury-free, given more playing time and maintain fitness.

Plus, Benzema likes to be at the right place and the right time, his positioning is what makes him good, but that also requires him to get good passes, look at all his goals during his ballon d'or season and you will see that he is not a player that gets the ball and dribbles and scores, he stays at places that are so well that he just touches the ball once, to shoot, and then he scores like that easily.

When we are talking about a player like that, the team may not be good enough to pass him those passes, they are not good enough all around him to give him the ball right at the correct place. He no longer has players like vini jr. that could pass the ball to him at the right time and that's why he is having harder time to adjust as well.

I think the performance of Benzema in Al Ittihad was really disappointing so far and he didn't have the performance people were expecting him to see.
Al Ittihad was hoping to have a perfect performance in the AFC Champions League and the Saudi League with the superstar they bought from Real Madrid but even against a team like Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya from Iraq, they could have a good performance and Al Ittihad lost the game.

[shogun47]

Maybe yes, maybe no. Because so far many coaches who have had conflicts with Cristiano Ronaldo have ended up being fired. Maybe only Ten Heg didn't end up getting fired there. But while at Real Madrid everything is under control. Well, there are positive and negative sides to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo sometimes has strong ambitions. And sometimes he has a different understanding from the coach. For example, Rudi Garcia also left Al-Nassr after there was tension in the dressing room with all the Al-Nassr players and including Cristiano Ronaldo who was also there. What I understand from most of the characteristics of coaches who end up being fired when they have a relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo is that they are coaches who have slightly harsh characteristics. Or a coach who has the principle of controlling players according to his coaching style. Well, things like that are actually quite normal for a coach, but it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo always doesn't want to be controlled. Yes, this sometimes makes a coach's position difficult. But the current Al-Nassr coach seems to know how to deal with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ten Hag won that struggle of power against Ronaldo because Ronaldo played bad. That was a savior for ten Hag on the one hand and bad for his results for the team on the other hand. But still I think the situation could have become very ugly for him if Ronaldo scored and still behaved like a diva and like someone who wants to decide everything for the club. That way ten Hag could get rid of him quickly and had full command in the locker room again. That's I think where Ronaldo can be really annoying.

Al Nassr vs Al Duhail.

Al Nassr won the AFC Champions League group E phase match. In this match, Luis Casto did not play his full starting eleven. even though the match was held at the Abdullah bin Khaifa Stadium, Al Duhail's headquarters. In this match, Luis Casto's squad was able to win the battle even though they fell behind in the 8th minute. Not long after, Talisca was able to equalize and also added another goal 10 minutes later. In the second half, Talisca scored his third goal again. Until finally, Al Duhail was able to reduce the position in the 80th minute with a penalty goal.

In this match, Ronaldo and several other players were not played by Luis Castro. It seems he is confident in the existing squad, even though he only relies on Mane as a center forward. but in fact, Talisca scored a hat trick in this match. In the end, Al Hilal won 4 matches smoothly and became the group leader with 12 points.

Meanwhile, the home team, coached by Christophe Galtier, is at the bottom of the rankings and certainly has no chance of qualifying for the next phase.
Now, Al Nassr must focus on the Saudi Pro League to reduce the difference in points from Al Hilal. Even though it is a challenge, like it or not, Luis Casto has to do it so that his team remains tightly attached to Al Hilal's position at the top of the standings.

People can't blame him because he often gets the problem with injury and he also still adjusts his game style with all Ittihad players. It is not easy for Benzema, it is his first season joining Al Ittihad. I know people expect to see him playing as he ever did in Real Madrid. He was amazing player in Real Madrid and often became the hero in many matches. But the situation in Al Ittihad isn't the same as in Real Madrid. If people expect the same thing, it is something almost impossible to happen. We must understand that Benzema in Real Madrid was served by many top players. He no longer gets the same service/treatment when he already joins Al Ittihad. So, personally I can understand if Benzema seems difficult to play with his best level in Al Ittihad now.

Well, we can't judge his performance from a single match. I think we need to see how he can perform in the remaining matches. Let's see until the end of the season, we are better to judge he is good or bad when the season is over already.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr seems like the better chanced teams in the Saudi Pro league as they unending keep winning games with good goal gaps and makes the competition even more tough for themselves, both teams have the ability to keep their stance regardless of whichever player is left out or unavailable, if they can be consistent in this, then no doubt, they'd be able to compete rightly in their rumoured addition to the UEFA Champions league race.

 Most people say that Al Nassr breakthrough came from Ronaldo's impact in the team but their last game proved that even without Ronaldo, they can still confidently secure a win. That's a good impression and continuous practice and games without Ronaldo can actually turn out better for them and it'd only result into an even more improved team, but that doesn't mean that Ronaldo's impact is not noticed at the team.

[Leviathan.007]

Today in the game between Al Duhail and Al Nassr in AFC Chmapnios Laague, we saw Ronaldo is absent in Al Nassr and it was a question for me why they didn't use this player in this game.
I was thinking Ronaldo was injured and that's why he couldn't play for a while but it seems he is totally fine and all the news and rumors about Ronaldo being injured are not right. Because Luis Castro the coach of Al Nassr said they just didn't use Ronaldo because they wanted to him some rest.

He is an ambitious and very successful actor. He works constantly and does not lose anything from his work. She is determined and takes good care of her body. As such, he can perform magnificently even at the age of 38. I think the best performing player between these ages is Ronaldo in the history of football. He's a complete machine.

When age was affecting the performance from other player but it's just a number for ronaldo. Ronaldo is always keeping his body is always healthy to protect his performance. Im also feeling good when watching him play for al nassr. Ronaldo at his age is still showing consistency.

Ronaldo seems happy to play there despite so many parties were mocking him last season. I think that saudi pro league will become even bigger.

Yes, even though he is currently 38 years old, his performance is still very good, and his game at Al Nassr is very good and he always scores goals beautifully and the passes he gives are always good and beautiful, and in terms of appearance he is increasingly charismatic, and I think indeed he really enjoyed being in the Saudi league and I think Ronaldo's decision to play at Al Nassr was a good decision and now he has made the Saudi league popular because Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Al Nassr club.

It turns out that Cristiano Ronaldo is a great person and always looks after his health and the food he consumes is of course healthy and nutritious food and I also really like the way he looks after his health and the food he consumes. like the one in this link:

Though Cristiano Ronaldo is a type of player who does not want to miss any match if he can play, he and his coach must be realistic that he is already 38-years old. To avoid injuries and more important serious injuries that can destroy his career suddenly as well as to help him have better contributions for Al Nassr in a long season, he must know when to take a rest and his coach can help him to take rest in unimportant matches.

At this age, being able to play at highest level like he is doing is already very barely seen but he needs more careful and good plan to diversify his energy through a season. Al Nassr has many attacking star players and they can give Cristiano time to rest and recharge energy.

[X-ray]

Finally, what i was waiting for has been coming true. Al ittihad has officially sacked its coach.

The Saudi Pro League holders are currently winless in their last five league outings. But their form reached new lows with a desolate 2-0 loss to Iraqi side Al Quwa Al Jawiya in the AFC Champions League on Monday. This, according to Revelo, sparked a vicious verbal feud between captain and manager, as Benzema and Nuno reportedly exchanged insults for some time after the final whistle.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/karim-benzema-nuno-espirito-santo-sack-al-ittihad-insults-afc-champions-league-defeat/
It seems like that benzema was suggesting the club to sack him. The power of star player has been used in this case. Despite having spent a considerable amount of money to recruit numerous European players last season, Ittihad has been facing a highly disappointing sequence of five defeats in a row, a circumstance that cannot be tolerated.
I think that there shall be some strong candidates to be recruited by al ittihad but it's not yet revealed to the public. What about al ittihad start to approach jose mounrinho which is in asroma right now?
This sounds good since mourinho has been also stating himself being interested to be recruited as a new coach for saudi pro league.
Ittihad needs to solve the main problem as soon as possible. The club played so badly during the previous matches.

Well.. his team doesn't need him in a match against a weak side such as Al Duhail. Anyway, they have a few other good forwards such as Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozović and Talisca. Also this will give an opportunity for the coach (Luís Castro) to measure the strength of his side in the absence of Ronaldo. That said, I am not sure whether the owners of the Saudi Professional League will be happy with this decision. The global viewership for the match would decline in case Cristiano Ronaldo is not playing.

Karim Benzema has not performed well at Ittihad and it is indeed different from his performance at Real Madrid, but we cannot compare the European league with the Saudi league because they both have different strengths, while Karim Benzema has to adapt to his new club and that is not an easy thing, maybe Ittihad has to be a bit be patient because Benzema is experiencing a decline due to his injury and that must be understood but I am sure Karim Benzema will slowly return to his best performance because Karim Benzema still has a lot of time to adapt, I think Karim Benzema just needs to understand the playing style of the Ittihad players so they can be united in working together facing the match played by Ittihad and hopefully Karim Benzema will not experience any more injury problems so that in the future Karim Benzema can perform better.
