Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Of course when it comes to young players who have a European career and a bright future, they won't want to go to the SPL. But what I'm referring to here are the local young players they have. Yes, they should not forget that, unless the young players they have are in Europe. But the problem is there are not many young players from Saudi Arabia in Europe right now.
In addition to the club they have to think about, they also have to pay attention to the future of their national team. They have to think of ways that not only the club can compete and have popularity, but they also have to think of the national team.

 

Oh yeah for that one I agree but unfortunately so far there are no local young players who can be relied on even on the top score list dominated by European players including top assist. Besides, on the one hand we understand their target not to prepare national players but for business or marketing we know what their target is in 2030 so they will prioritize European players clearly get more attention. Currently Saudi Pro League is dominated by outside players so if they force local players, they will be unable to compete and the team has the potential to lose more points I am sure this is one of the considerations for them.

Previously Al-Taawoun was one of the clubs that used a lot of local players and they can compete in the top 3 but lately their performance has declined, yeah is a team that uses local players is only able to compete under Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and some other top teams can't expect more. Actually they could have applied the rules that each club must have 60% of local players but that will have an impact on their initial plan for example limits in bringing European players.

Yes, I am also very interested to see the new changes that they will bring. I know that they are ready to spend a lot of money. I just wonder which players they are going to bring in.  Because with the money they spend, they are definitely capable of bringing in a lot of good players.  But I still think that they are going to be interested in bringing in great players who are old. Because that's what they are doing too.  Increase the popularity of the Saudi League and that has been working for them so far.

Cristiano Ronaldo is increasingly unstoppable after successfully leading Al-Nassr to victory at home with a score of 4-1 against Al-Riyadh. In that match, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Al-Nassr with a shot in the 33rd minute using an assist from Sadio Mane. Apart from that, he not only scored a goal but he contributed to the second goal by providing an assist to Otavio which led to Al-Nassr's second goal. Towards the end of the match two additional goals were scored by Anderson Talisca and this also sealed Al-Nassr's landslide victory last night.

So far, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 16 goals and 8 assists in his 15 matches with Al-Nassr in the Saudi league and has also solidified his position at the top of the top scorer list for this season. Even so, Mitrovic from Al-Hilal continues to follow him with 14 goals. I don't think this will end and Cristiano Ronaldo will still score goals during this season and it is possible that he can finish with 30 goals per season.

The Saudi Arabian league is still too easy for Ronaldo even though Ronaldo is approaching retirement age for most professional players. Because in terms of play, Ronaldo has a wealth of experience playing in the world's top leagues such as the Premier League and La Liga.

It is possible that Ronaldo will have no difficulty getting an individual title in the Arab League. Unless 50% of former top league players have moved to Saudi to become Ronaldo's competitors for individual titles.
Unfortunately, the Arab League is still unable to take part in the most prestigious competition, namely the UEFA Champions League.

So I wouldn't be surprised if Ronaldo is currently one of the players with the most goals in the Arab League. Hopefully his game will be consistent even though he is getting older, at least helping his Al Nassr team to become champions of the Arab League.

[FanEagle]

The defenders that al-Nassr currently have are really not that good. Al-Nassr needs better defenders. And Luis Castro as a coach is also aware of this. Because there has been a lot of news talking about this. It is difficult to balance a squad's performance when there is a gap between the front line and the back line. Al-Nassr has a good front line but their back line is really bad. And Luis Castro seems to have also tried several recipes or strategies to overcome this but still failed. So the solution might be to bring in defenders from the ranks of Europe's top defenders. Although there has been news about Al-Nassr approaching the Atletico Madrid defender. But the news is still unclear.

They still have "old Saudi league" level defenders, that's their issue, there are many players at defense (and bench too) that are good for the old level, but for the past 2 seasons plenty of teams brought in a lot of players from Europe and that should be the difference maker, when you have players from those levels that's easily understandable that they are going to have easy time scoring against those defenders.

For them to be good, they need to pay top money to get defenders from Europe just like they did with their attack. Like for example they did manage to get Ronaldo right? He is great and scores and all that right? Well do they have even remotely anyone that's as close to him at defense? Of course not, that's their issue. They could do that during this winter break if they want to but that will be quite tough, I would highly suggest that they just let go of this season and in return they could end up with something that would be more decent during summer break and pray they can be this good next season.

Based on the agenda of the Saudi Pro League striving to create visibility and awareness in the European space with the major goal of ensuring an expanded sports market, the clubs find themselves in a situation where there's less utilization of local players. These players have no doubt some certain level of effects to a club but the aims of these clubs won't allow for the players to be used. It'll only make sense that a policy be put in place for the use of local players in every team but I don't think that'll be enough to take them to where they visioned the league to get to.

 SPL wants to be broadcasted and be seen worldwide and this makes for the rapid purchase and push for European stars who'd cause focus to gradually be shifted to their league. If the local players are entertained, then there'd definitely be no room for this hot caked stars in Europe and in the long run, it won't give them the focus they want to get. All things in the SPL currently occurs as a planned activity, and they are all working towards a set goal. It's only a gradual process before the impacts are seen.

The Saudi Arabia football authority is taking one developmental step at a time in their quest to make football in the country to become one of the best in the world and their recent moves has already paid off as football fans all over the world is now attracted to the league football in the country because of the football superstars that's been signed to the Saudi Pro League.
They want to develop the country's national team as well so the  they can be competitive enough to to face any team when the host the 2030 FIFA World Cup but that's actually a long term project but the country's government is very open in bringing more people that edition of the world cup to become one of the best ever.

Al Hilal vs Al Taawoun.


Tomorrow, these two teams will meet in the King's Cup competition. The match will be held at King Fahd Stadium, Al Hilal's home ground. This match looks like it will be an exciting match. because the match will last only one leg. and this match is the Quarterfinals. which means, Al Taawoun will not just give up even though their opponent is a strong team plus the top of the standings in the Saudi Pro League. Likewise with Al Hilal, even though they are on fire, they cannot underestimate the opposing team.

Referring to Al Hilal's predicted line-up, Jorge Jesus seems to be playing his full core of players to win the match. However, it looks like Michael will not be used as a starter in this match. However, Al Hilal should still be able to win this match. because referring to the odds provided by the bookies, there is a quite significant gap. Al Hilal with odds @1.30, while Al Taawoun with @7.80. However, there is something a little strange if I refer to the predictions I got. I'm not sure if Al Hilal will use a 4-5-1 pattern, while the opposing team will use a 4-2-3-1 pattern.
but, if this prediction is correct and close to accurate. at least it can be my reference for the Saudi Pro League.
By the way, I'm sure Al Hilal will be able to defeat the opposing team in tomorrow's match in the King's Cup.

[kawetsriyanto]

Well, with Al Hilal managing to beat Al Nassr with a big score, basically this result shows that Al Hilal is the best team this season. Because even other candidates such as Al Nassr still failed to beat Al Hilal and thus it is certainly appropriate for Al Hilal to get a trophy this season. Although, of course, there are still many matches until the end of the season, but still, with the current points gap or the current 7 point gap, basically it is still difficult for Al Nassr to take over the top position. Because yes, the only hope to thwart Al Hilal is to hope that Al Hilal will suffer consecutive defeats and yes, this factor also seems difficult to happen at this moment.

So far, Al Hilal can prove us that they are the best team in Saudi League this season. They can beat Al Nassr with 3 goals, without conceded a single goal. And they are also still unbeatable until now, they only got 2 draws. These are enough to prove that Al Hilal is the strongest team, no team in SPL can beat them.

Sure, Al Hilal deserves to win SPL trophy, they have a good squad. Al Hilal even has a super star (Neymar), sadly he got injury and must take a rest for a long time. But Al Hilal has enough quality players to win all the matches in Saudi League this season. What makes them stronger is they can play solidly, they don't rely on their top players only.

Indeed, with the current point gap, Al Hilal is superior to win the trophy. It will be difficult for any team to overtake them, specifically if they will keep the record of "unbeatable".

[KTChampions]

When it comes to goal scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo is in another level he's highly decorated and positions well to deliver a good finishing, he's the best thing Al-Nassr did for their club and in years to come even after he's left the team, he'll still be remembered for his good efforts in trying to get them where they're currently, I think none of his peers  could be compared to him cause about 90% of them can't do what he's doing currently and alot has even retired.

 If Ronaldo could be able to get a total number of 49 goals for Al-Nassr currently it means that there's a possibility of him making it 60 or 70 before the league ends and in few years from, he would be able to break the All-time record of Al-Nassr player which is up to a 100 plus goal, Cristiano Ronaldo is really a G.O.A.T when it comes to goal scoring.

Considering the kind of players the top clubs in Saudi Arabia receive, all previous records will soon be broken. This is fine. By the way, if I'm not mistaken, Ronaldo is now the leader in the goalscoring race with 16 goals, and in my opinion this is a rather modest figure. If we assume that the performance in Saudi Arabia should be at the level of La Liga (I think the difference between the top teams and the bottom of the standings is something like this) then the numbers for the season should be 30+ and sometimes above 40. I think in the coming years new strikers will raise this the bar to such values.

In that match, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Al-Nassr with a shot in the 33rd minute using an assist from Sadio Mane.

It is possible that Ronaldo will have no difficulty getting an individual title in the Arab League. Unless 50% of former top league players have moved to Saudi to become Ronaldo's competitors for individual titles.
Unfortunately, the Arab League is still unable to take part in the most prestigious competition, namely the UEFA Champions League.

So I wouldn't be surprised if Ronaldo is currently one of the players with the most goals in the Arab League. Hopefully his game will be consistent even though he is getting older, at least helping his Al Nassr team to become champions of the Arab League.

Experience is the key to consistent performance for Cristiano Ronaldo and even though the Saudi league seems easy for him, other European players will still offer similar competition to him. Here it may be true that he will clearly get the individual title, but for the team title in winning the Saudi league there will be a bit of a problem because there are teams that are stronger than them and that is why Al-Hilal is A-Nassr's toughest competitor in winning this title. But indeed, if Cristiano Ronaldo continues to score goals, Al-Nassr's defense must be improved again so that a certain victory does not result in further conceding.

[shogun47]

I also think that Al Nasser is actually on the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo, a little too much. And that is probably something which is holding them back. And the expectation of Cristiano Ronaldo performing in every match is actually making them take things easy on the domestic players. Of course that might not be true, but that is my analogy, if that is true, I don't think any club should be expecting a really big performance from a player who is already 38 years old and is going to be 39 after two months. Al Hilal definitely seems a lot more interested in winning the trophy compared to Al Nasser in my opinion.

I don't think it has to do with the interest in winning the title. I am sure that it is not a lack of interest, but maybe wrong and too high expectations from someone like Ronaldo. The bosses thought that they bring in Ronaldo and everything else works automatically in their favor,  but at the end of the day he is just one player on the pitch who sometimes can make the difference, and sometimes not.

Whether Ronaldo himself still feels maximum motivation to win that title in the Saudi league, I don't really know. I assume he doesn't care that much. He wants to be the best striker like always, make a few hundred million dollars and then leave as a billionaire.

[TelolettOm]

I would really want to see Al Nassr be able to give a better competition for the title. I think they are a better club. And if they actually want to give good competition for the title, they will have to improve their performance. Already the point difference is very big. So not only they will have to perform well and consistently, but also they will have to pray that their opponent and especially Al Hilal keeps losing. But at the moment it does not seem like they are going to lose consistently. But we all know that anything can happen in football.

If Al Nassr won against Al Hilal in the previous match (matchday 15), they actually will have a better competition for the SPL trophy. Unfortunately, they got a big defeat, the missed the chance to shorten the point gap. So, it becomes more difficult for Al Nassr to compete for the title. However, I think AL Nassr still has the chance to be the champion if they can keep winning until the end of the competition. They must avoid to get a draw or more losses, the chance becomes smaller if AL Nassr experience bad results again.

Al Hilal is unbetable, they also look stronger. It is difficult to expect that they will miss points in the near future. They still has a high motivation to win, in this matter they will have bigger chance to keep winning in the next few matches.

Saudi Pro League competition is here, you're making bold steps to watch this season matches here, it's tough match. Al Hilal have served a tremendous heartbreak to the Knights of Najd when they presently face them.  A whole lot of things yet to be say unsaid because everyone tend to be attending golden opportunities of grab three points and aiming for more good heights in matches. Al Nassr losing to Al Hilal really weaken their spirit coming steaming this season, they don't have any excuses to give this other than acknowledge their mistakes and think of bouncing back to winning important matches.

The popularity of Al-Nassr have increased with the participation of Ronaldo, so is the expectation from the team. Al-Hilal is potential team and winning against them isn't an easy thing. Al-Hilal hadn't lost a match in the series whereas Al-Nassr have lost three matches. It is really hard to make a comeback as Al-Hilal at no cost will degrade it's performance. Upcoming match days gonna be interesting as Al-Nassr to face Al-Ettifaq against whom they lost in the opening match of the series.

But the news is still unclear.

This means, they already know their weaknesses, and they are currently waiting until the transfer window opens to recruit top defenders from Eurupa. That's good, I hope Al Nassr plan can be implemented as it should. Yes, previously I heard too. There were rumors about Al Nassr, which are want to recruit Mario Hermoso, the Atletico Madrid defender. But I heard they want to recruit him without transfer fees, because Mario Hermoso contract will end in June 2024.

Al Nassr good plan, if it really is true, will be to prioritize defenders from europe because as I said a few days ago, Al Hilal and Al Nassr actually have equal performance from each line, but it is very different because Al Nassr defense is a little weak compared to Al Hilal and if this is true there will be a massive recruitment of Al Nassr defenders it might be good news for the fans and the plan to get Mario Hermoso is a good choice even though he is only a defender but he has the talent to help score goals and I will full support if this can become a reality.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Cristiano Ronaldo is their best scorer but they also have some other good attacking players like Mane and Talisca. Before Cristiano Ronaldo joined them, Talisca was their main striker and even won the league best scorer award three seasons ago. I believe Al Nassr will still able to play well without Cristiano with star players they have.

Without Ronaldo they will probably play well because they have the money to buy someone new. But i think Ronaldo play a few more years. He will catch the next record and we all know he wants them all. It is about playing the most games in a career. Currently the record has a goalkeeper, his name is Peter Shilton and he made 1.387 games in 31 years. Ronaldo made currently at 1.200 games and that would mean he would have to be active for a few more years. He has the record for the most goals in a career, +850. Maybe he can still win a championship with Al-Nassr, even if it doesnt work out this year.

Well now things are pretty good for CR7, I think he is in the best moment of his life, so when we don't look at who we are watching an Al Nassr game, the one we always focus on is him, of course this is What they can mostly focus on, in another order of ideas things can also go in favor of showing more of Mane, because he is a very controversial Player , in part I like this league more than the MLS itself because if we make a direct comparison, The Saudi League has a higher level than the MLS itself and the whole world is watching the MLS more because it was with Messi, and recently Messi himself said that he went to a very low level league, so he has not achieved anything, On the other hand, CR7 yes, many say that Messi has already achieved a World Cup, but to someone who is given everything, it is much easier, it is a Fact that even the Ballon d'Or itself has been given away by FIFA in an impressive way with impudence and all, that is something that disappoints, the Ballon d'Or was for Haaland this year , but it is only FIFA's designs that leave us all baffled.

When you have a lot of help from such a large organization it is difficult to Compete against that, I have FIFA, referees, it is something that we See with great imprecision, and it is angry that things now look so corrupt, and I consider that it still continues. There being a lot of corruption, now in the Saudi League, they should heed the request they make to establish a UCL with them, I don't Understand what the fear is that Europa has with the other leagues, but only they understand each other, For these things, we can Intuit that there will always be illegal things, the case of the Saudi League seems interesting to me, it is a shame that Al Hilal is not Counting on Neymar due to his Serious injury , but it is something they have there, no I know if they Already got out of it, but it's a shame.

WATCH: Who needs Neymar?! Aleksandar Mitrovic bags 14th goal of Saudi Pro League campaign for Al-Hilal to extend incredible goalscoring streak to seven league matches

Al Nassr good plan, if it really is true, will be to prioritize defenders from europe because as I said a few days ago, Al Hilal and Al Nassr actually have equal performance from each line, but it is very different because Al Nassr defense is a little weak compared to Al Hilal and if this is true there will be a massive recruitment of Al Nassr defenders it might be good news for the fans and the plan to get Mario Hermoso is a good choice even though he is only a defender but he has the talent to help score goals and I will full support if this can become a reality.

Honestly, I hope Al-Nassr doesn't wait until Mario Hermoso's contract ends next summer. Although it seems like there has been an agreement between them. But waiting until the summer transfer market will only make Al-Nassr's current defense worse. I think all Al-Nassr fans will also hope that Al-Nassr will bring in a top European defender in the current winter transfer market. Unless Al-Nassr is not aiming to win this season. Weaknesses in the defense sector really need to be addressed immediately this season and not wait for next season. But maybe only Mario Hermoso will be brought in in the summer transfer market. And it could be that in the winter transfer market now Al-Nassr will bring in others first. I hope so.

[Hirose UK]

The major reasons why Al Nassr have become very competitive is because they have initial plans to top their opposition this season, notwithstanding what they will face, rather they're keen on competiting for the best results. Victory goes to Al Nassr for the outstanding display against their opposition tonight. They didn't hold back other than bringing on their very best performance. Al Nassr won Al Riyadh 4-1 and it was done with ease efforts.  This victory have push the Knights of Najd to close the point difference towards Al Hilal on the SPL table.

Since the start, Al Nassr has performed well and they have target of getting the SPL title this season and it can be seen that the quality of Al Nassr game is very competitive in all matches.
In today match against Al Riyadh, Al Nassr achieved big victory with 4 goals and Ronaldo was the opener while Talisca was the player who closed the winning goal for Al Nassr, he even provided two goals in this victory.
But this victory cannot be said to reduce the point difference because in fact the difference in points they have is still quite large, Al Hilal has 44 points while Al Nassr has 37 points, the difference between the two is still 7 points and they need at least 8 points.

Ronaldo is certainly playing better and better, which considering his age seems like a feat. Ronaldo is progressing as the season progresses and is already leading the SPL in scoring with 24 points.
Although Ronaldo is almost irreplaceable, I would also like to mention Talisca, I think his role is much more important than it seems, I don't know where he played before, but the more I watch Al Nassr matches the more I start to like Talisca's game, because he is constantly scoring, aiming at the goal and also extremely useful for the team.

Of course, we are all also surprised and amazed by Ronaldo performance which is increasing quite significantly day by day. Most players as they get older will experience decline in performance and quality of play, but none of that applies to Ronaldo, he has actually performed better and created more goals for Al Nassr so far Ronaldo is also considered star in the SPL and he is also the only player who is old enough to be the best striker in the SPL.
Yes, for Talisca, he is also the best player that Al Nassr has besides Ronaldo and of course he has very important role because he is midfielder who helps the front line in attack and the back line in defense.
Talisca previously played in Europe, then went to Asia for team from Turkey and then after that played for Chinese team for several seasons and most recently remained with Al Nassr until now.
When the two players Ronaldo and Talisca work together to carry out attacks, they become threat and are very dangerous for their opponents.
That is why these two players are said to be two important components for Al Nassr victory.

Al Nassr good plan, if it really is true, will be to prioritize defenders from europe because as I said a few days ago, Al Hilal and Al Nassr actually have equal performance from each line, but it is very different because Al Nassr defense is a little weak compared to Al Hilal and if this is true there will be a massive recruitment of Al Nassr defenders it might be good news for the fans and the plan to get Mario Hermoso is a good choice even though he is only a defender but he has the talent to help score goals and I will full support if this can become a reality.

When it comes to signings, especially impressive and high biddings, I give it to SPL clubs because they have the money and will consider using for in the markets, they have targets to meet up, planning to upgrade the system, one of the reasons they're not relenting insteady keep striving harder in auctions evolved. We're going to witnessed another signing spree from Saudi Arabia clubs in upcoming January transfer window. They're 100% focused on European players and this will give more chances for SPL clubs to become very active and create a path for European players.
