Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

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.

The problem that makes Al Nassr has experienced three defeats this season and two of them occurred at the start of the season and one when facing Al Hilal, and this makes it seem difficult for them to catch up with Al Hilal who are already ahead with 7 points, and if Al Nassr brings in a defender in the middle this season I think it won't be able to make them overtake Al Hilal because they need their competitors to experience several defeats which doesn't seem like it will happen soon or even until the end of the season because Al Hilal is a very complete team this season so any team would have difficulty beating them, what is possible is to try to take one point when facing Al Hilal.

So many of Cristiano Ronaldo's football peers has retired from football because of their inability to still deliver top class performance for their respective clubs but the 38 years old Portuguese superstar scored another goal yesterday in his club's home league game against Al Riyadh to take his entire goal tally since the beginning of 2023 to 49 goals. If Cristiano Ronaldo can be able to register at least one goal against before the end the year, the Portugal national team captain will be celebrating fifty goals in a calendar year at 38 and that goes a long way to explain how peerless Ronaldo has been in football.

His main mission at Al Nassr isn't to score as many goals as possible but to help the club win major trophies and he's very determined to achieve those goals as soon as possible.

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.

Without a doubt, Ronaldo has had an amazing effect on Al-Nassr! Not only does he score goals, but hes also a sports legend, as you said. Its amazing how often he can find the back of the net. Really, 49 goals already? Thats really crazy! Putting himself in the right place and scoring goals is second nature to him. Also, dont forget that he's doing this at a time when most of his friends have given up.

What if he scored 60 or even 70 goals by the end of the season? That blows my mind. But if you know Ronaldo, its more than likely to happen. To him, being a "veteran" player means something new. And getting past Al-Nassr's record of 100 goals? I'd bet on him. He's not only getting goals; he's also making examples that people will want to follow.

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.

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.

The positive thing is that Luis Castro has realized Al-Nassr's weaknesses. And I hope they also act quickly in this regard in the January transfer market. Because I hope Al-Nassr will become a solid squad in the second half of this season. And I don't think it's certain that next season Al-Nassr will be as good as this season in building attacks. Because next season Cristiano Ronaldo will also get older. And a true age can never be lied to. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo always tries to maintain his body fitness, it will still be difficult to maintain his stamina at the age of 39 to 40 next season. And now we also realize that every time Cristiano Ronaldo is absent, Al-Nassr sometimes loses motivation to win and often the match results end with less than optimal results. Talisca and Mane can be expected in the long term but still somehow at the moment the Al-Nassr squad always seems to be more enthusiastic when Cristiano Ronaldo is also on the pitch.

Al Nassr only needs to recruit defenders to keep Al Nassr's defense stronger on the front line. Al Nassr is already good. The only drawback is in the back line.
If Al Nassr recruits defenders from Europe, I think that is a good thing and Al Nassr management must immediately take quick action. In my opinion, if Al Nassr's back line is strong, I'm sure Al Nassr will have almost the same strength as Al Hilal and Al Nassr can fight this season to win the title even though the point difference is quite large with Al Hilal. At least Al Nassr remains consistent in winning in various the match until Al Hilal slipped to and get closer to Al Hilal.
So far, Al Hilal has not experienced a defeat, but I am sure that as time goes by, Al Hilal will definitely experience its first defeat. I think it is impossible for a club to win consistently because there are still many matches in the SPL this season.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

Well things like this they should also pay attention to, of course recruiting top European players is a part of business, and that's not wrong. I am a person who believes that football and business cannot be separated from each other, they must be able to go hand in hand, because one of the factors that will make the club develop and progress is because they have money.
But when they forget one of those two things then something bad will happen to them, like what happened in the SPL. We can't equate the SPL and EPL for example, because the EPL has become one of the parameters of world football. So they have to nurture the young players they have so that they can compete so as not to kill their young generation.

And getting past Al-Nassr's record of 100 goals? I'd bet on him. He's not only getting goals; he's also making examples that people will want to follow.

Yes, I also admit that after CR7's arrival in Saudi Arabia at the Al Nassr club he had a very big influence on the Saudi pro league and on his current club and of course Al Nassr's performance has increased very much after Ronaldo's presence in the Saudi pro league is very interesting to see because he always performed very well and what makes me like this star player is that even though he is a scorer, he is not arrogant or selfish even though he can score continuously, but he also often gives other players opportunities to score, such as Sadio Mane and Talisca who are often given opportunities to score and Ronaldo got an assist on the goal.
Ronaldo in the Saudi pro league is highly regarded and it is possible that he will continue to score in big numbers.

I've been thinking about this Al Nassr thing, and to be honest, I'm feeling a bit of both joy and doubt. Without a question, focusing on European defenders like Mario Hermoso is a great idea. Let's be honest: who wouldn't want a player like Hermoso to help their defense? This guy is a threat to score as well as a defender, which is like killing two birds with one stone. But this is where my doubts come in. This is a risky move if they really want to wait out Hermoso's contract until 2024. It makes sense to avoid transfer fees from a financial point of view, but what about right now? It's not likely that Al Nassr's security will hold up until then. They need more help right away, and if they want to compete this season, they should be looking for quick, if temporary, answers

So that is now the problem and doubt for Al-Nassr fans. Because reportedly they want to wait for the player's contract to finish at Atletico Madrid at the end of this season. And yes, I think Al-Nassr's defense is currently in quite a critical condition. Because however, currently we see too many Al-Nassr conceding the ball. It's rare for Al-Nassr to win without conceding the ball. I think this is really risky if Al-Nassr doesn't immediately recruit this European defender. Or unless it turns out that in the January transfer window Al-Nassr will indeed have another target to come another players for their defense. But I have doubts too about this.

Interesting consideration, but I wonder whether the title is really that important for Al-Nassr. Let me explain: I think all these Saudi clubs work like a union at the moment, trying to attract talent to the league to raise awareness and establish themselves as a league that becomes growingly popular among the fans. However, I don't think it matters that much who becomes the champion in the end for the league as a whole. The players want the title I am sure and in that regard I believe the biggest push in popularity could be obtained when Ronaldo wins it, but how likely is that really? Al-Hilal plays solid football and including the King Cup of Champions, they have now 3 home games in a row. I doubt they will make any mistakes.

Hermoso's contract with Atlético Madrid is almost up for renewal. While Atlético has the option to extend, the interest from Al-Nassr is altering the situation. Al-Nassr aims to secure Hermoso when his current contract expires next summer. The Saudi club Al-Nassr sees him as a key addition to fortify their defense. The decision might pose a risk if Al-Nassr doesn't secure an immediate signing. The player's opinion remains undisclosed, at the same time this leaving room for possibilities. Despite the tempting offer from the Saudi club, the decision won't immediately alter Al-Nassr's defensive situation. Perhaps they are planning to boost their defense next season, possibly leaving the current season as runners-up.

If Al-Nassr does not intend to win the title this season then that is understandable even though they are no longer shopping for players in the January transfer window. But all Cristiano Ronaldo fans definitely want the football legend of this century, namely Cristiano Ronaldo, to make his name in the history of Arab football by winning the title this season with Al-Nassr.

Looking at Al-Hilal currently, it is indeed difficult to win first place from them. Because the club really has everything it needs to win the title this season. Their defense, midfield and attack are really balanced and very good. In contrast to Al-Nassr which is only good in attack and midfield. But their back line is very worrying. So if Al-Nassr is able to cover their shortcomings by improving their back line then this could be a threat even to Al-Hilal. Because after all, there are still many matches left and Al-Nassr must continue to win and hope that Al-hilal loses. But it's hard to see which team can beat Al-Hilal this season.

[rendravolt]

Just won last week but unfortunately Al-Ahli had to swallow another draw against Al-Raed. Maybe quite a lot of people lost money on this bet because of course they had their hopes for Al-Ahli winning, but they couldn't even score 1 goal. If we talk about match statistics here, Al-Ahli clearly controls the match up to 71% and that is a large number to be able to press and win the match. But here Al-Raed's defense was good enough that every opportunity Al-Ahli had failed to become a goal.

Now the performance of Al-Ahli players is starting to be questioned because they are still not consistent in winning and most of them have achieved draws against teams they should be able to beat. The results of this draw do not change anything in terms of position and Al-Ahli is still sitting in 3rd position but has the same points as Al-Taawoun who currently sits in 4th position in the standings. I think this is quite risky and maybe next week Al-Taawoun can shift them if Al-Ahli is still slumping with declining performance.

At least Al Nassr remains consistent in winning in various the match until Al Hilal slipped to and get closer to Al Hilal.
So far, Al Hilal has not experienced a defeat, but I am sure that as time goes by, Al Hilal will definitely experience its first defeat. I think it is impossible for a club to win consistently because there are still many matches in the SPL this season.

I guess they have invested so much in bringing Cristiano Ronaldo, that they are actually having trouble bringing in defenders right now. But I think they have enough money and they can actually bring in defenders if they want.

That's why I think this next transfer market is going to be very important for them. They will have to bring in better defenders and also make the team overall decent. So that even if the attackers are having a bad day, they can still count on the defenders to do the job. Even though they have a good attacking lineup led by Cristiano Ronaldo, they cannot expect the attackers to perform every day.

But all Cristiano Ronaldo fans definitely want the football legend of this century, namely Cristiano Ronaldo, to make his name in the history of Arab football by winning the title this season with Al-Nassr.

Because after all, there are still many matches left and Al-Nassr must continue to win and hope that Al-hilal loses. But it's hard to see which team can beat Al-Hilal this season.

The season is already half over, meaning that the 34 SPL matches have stretched over 17 weeks. Al Hilal seems to be walking alone in the standings, and no team has been able to become a stumbling block for them, but we also cannot be sure who will be able to stop them this season. The difference in points can still be caught up, even though they have to wait for Al Hilal to lose in their 3 matches, the challenge here is that Al Nassr must be consistent in their matches too, that way they can overtake Al Hilal and top the standings.

The january transfer window will be an opportunity for SPL clubs to hunt for top players from the five best leagues in Europe. I am really looking forward to Al Nassr steps to improve their defense. I see that there is still a chance for Cristiano and his colleagues to win a trophy at the end of the season, even though that chance is running out, and indeed they have to improve the squad to add depth to the squad so that in the second half of the season they can suppress Al Hilal.

[fuguebtc]

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.

Yes the match against Al Hilal could have been really great for Al Nassr if they could actually win. But unfortunately they were unable to win the match. And that has created a big difference in points with both of them. That is the reason why Al Nassr is at a very big disadvantage right now.  I feel like if the difference of Al Nassr was a little better, they could have definitely had a better performance.  You know Al Hilal is a team that is much more balanced compared to them.

I think this is quite risky and maybe next week Al-Taawoun can shift them if Al-Ahli is still slumping with declining performance.

The gambler who made the bet on the Al-Ahli on last week will be gone by the match draw.Since the Al-Ali was potential to win any match in this league,that game was well played by the Al-Raed.We should agree that at any cost,because the Al-Raed keep the defensive game till the end.The Al-Ahli was the top performing team on that match.But their luck was not good on that day,the gambler who bet by seeing the 60% of the game also lose their money.Because the Al-Ahli never complete their winning goal till the end was unexpected one.

Some of the people from the football community was not satisfied with the performance of the Al-Ahli and their point of view of Al-Raed was totally changed now.May be some gamblers bet was made on the Al-Raed in the future matches because of their current performance against Al-Ahli.

Al tawwoun making a come back, seems like they have a good run right now, i dont think this can last so much, but good for them.

I was seeing the Al Hilal stats and man, what a numbers they have, asides of the 0 defeats, they only allowed 3 goals in eight home games, truly amazing defensive performance.

Al-Ahli's squad is quite strong. Al-Ahli have several star players in their squad like RIyad Mahrez, Firmino and Kessie. But still the performance of this team is not satisfactory. They have fallen behind in the title race. And now the team has no chance of winning the title. Al-Ahliklub is 13 points behind Al Hilal at the top of the table.

But against Al Raed I thought I would see Al-Ahli win. But even after dominating the match, Al-Ahli players could not score a single goal. Al raed played poorly defensively. In 90 minutes they made only 2 shots while Al-Ahli players made 22 shots. Al-Ahli Jeddah failed to win despite performing well.

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 match Al Hilal vs Al Nassr was a tough match in the first half. But it won't be a tough match anymore when the match reached the minute 90'. Al Hilal scored 2 goals in minute 90' and 90+2'. It showed that Al Nassr players feel frustrated because they couldn't equalize the score. So, they have no more motivation when the match was almost over. It was the chance for Al Hilal to destroy Al Nassr with more goals.

Yes the match against Al Hilal could have been really great for Al Nassr if they could actually win. But unfortunately they were unable to win the match. And that has created a big difference in points with both of them.

Most people expected Al Nassr to win the match, so the competition for the title will be more interesting. Since Al Nassr failed to win, the point gap is bigger now. Everyone started to think that Al Nassr seems to have a small chance to overtake Al Hilal in the top of SPL table.

By the way, Al-Taawoun faced Al-Hilal today in the Quarter-final of King Cup of Champions and they lost badly by three goals to 0.
Al-Hilal are just unstoppable whether in Saudi Pro League, AFC Champions League or King Cup of Champions. There is Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad that will have matches later.
Al-Nassr will face Al-Shabab today and are expected to win since their opponents aren't doing well with successive negative results in Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ittihad will have a match in the upcoming week vs Al-Faisaly in Division 1 and should win too. They haven't a match today since they will play tomorrow vs Auckland City in Club World Cup.
