Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[BRINIRHA]

Ok im understand. It seems that getting a draw is more likely in this match. You are right that Al-Taawoun is still much better than Al-Ettifaq. And after I looked at Al-Ettifaq's match history in the last few weeks, it turns out that, as you said, Al-Ettifaq didn't get many points and instead more often drew or lost. And it looks like I won't bet on Al-Ettifaq because it seems quite risky. even though they are hosting.

Both Al Ettifaq and Al Taawoun are good teams, and they have performed credibly so far in this season. For quite long time, Al Taawoun was at the no.3 position in points table, but after their 3-0 loss to Al Hilal, they dropped to 4th position. Al Ettifaq lost a few matches recently, but still they have good players such as Moussa Dembélé, Jordan Henderson and Demarai Gray. But you are right about the comparison between the two teams. Ettifaq hasn't won any of their matches for quite some time, but Al Taawoun has the momentum with them.

But if we look at the composition of players that Al-ettifaq has and then we compare it with the composition of players that Al-Taawoun has then we will actually find a quite striking difference. Where Al-ettifaq is actually much better in terms of the composition of the players it has. But strangely enough, Al-Taawoun is historically much better than Al-ettifaq. I think Gerrad must be able to maximize the squad that Al-ettifaq has so that it can be more optimal. Because if Gerrard can maximize the squad that Al-ettifaq has then Al-ettifaq should be much more reliable than now.

Al-Taawoun's coach, Péricles Chamusca, doesn't seem to be a very well-known coach. But in fact he was able to make Al-Taawoun play very well and was able to maximize the strength of Al-Taawoun's squad.

Of course, 50 goals Ronaldo in 2023 at Saudi it was fantastic achievement, even though he is old, but he is a goals machine. I hope young Saudi players must follow Ronaldo footsteps in scoring, because Ronaldo arrival in Saudi will be even more beneficial. After all, Saudi bring top Europa players, apart from improving their league, they also surely want progress for their new generation in that field.

Yes, according to data Ronaldo goal all the time will reach 900 goals. So far not any player has gotten this opportunity, only Ronaldo will be the only one professional player who will get it because Ronaldo currently holds the record for most of goals all time.

The undisputed GOAT is in Saudi Arabia where he's making big names. There's no duplicate of Ronalod in football, I've never watch any brilliant and authoritative attacker like Ronaldo in matches, despite his age he's still very active to score milestones. Ronaldo stats is reaching 1000 goals to be scored in his career and he's working towards success. Cristiano Ronaldo is a goal machine in Al Nassr and he's on a different high spirits, only his presence have elevated the club to another level and he's heading to becoming the top goal scoring this season.

Interestingly, he started his career from the winger position and until now he has transformed into a striker who is very reliable in scoring goals. The new record he created made everyone impressed, and even he did it not only in one team, but he was in several teams and also different leagues too.
At his age, he's showing that he's not finished yet. Even when many young talented players come to the fore, talk of him is always a hot topic. And it also seems like the media will miss him a lot if he decides to retire. Lol

But there is a detail that I think most people are missing when they are talking about Ronaldo and how many goals he scores in Saudi Arabia. I believe that most of his fans don't really care that much about the number of goals he scores in a league that is not that meaningful. None of the records he could ever set in the Saudi Professional League would be as impressive as the records he has set in Europe. Does it really matter whether he scores 30 goals or 50 goals a season when he is the record holder in the European Champions League with 17 goals in one season? Or all those other records he has, does it still impress anyone when he becomes the best scorer in Saudi Arabia?

Some people here believe that Ronaldo is determined to be the best ever in Saudi Arabia, but he is doing his job mostly for the money. If he is in such great shape and if he was after more trophies (important trophies) in his career, he would have stayed in Europe. This was a huge offer and he took it for the money, not because he thought he has to show the world how he can score goals in Saudi Arabia.

Anyone who plays beside Ronaldo will witness the actual vision of football. For Ronaldo, age is simply a number because he continues to smash records in every match and major league he moves to. He is the leading goal scorer this season, and he wants to reach 1000 goals before retiring from sport. At the age of 38, he is performing more effectively than players in the 20-30 age bracket. He's an entirely distinct species, and Al Nassr should be grateful every day for having such an outstanding player on their team. Cristiano Ronaldo has a huge positive significance on his teammates.

[asriloni]

Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely a famous star. Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest obstacle now is his age, although he is getting older but his running speed is still normal enough to score goals. Still contributing enough to score goals in almost every match for Al Nassr. The current season is very offensively performing, such a good performance is not seen in any other star, which I noticed in the Saudi League, Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring performance is the highest.

The only worthy competitor for him is mitrovic from al hilal. I have not seen benzema as one who can compete with him. Mitrovic is always  consistent like ronaldo. Yet mitrovic is a bit yonger than him but seeing those people are always scoring makes me feel amaze with them all. Ronaldo is a really hardworking guy. He does everything to make sure he will able to play with very good condition on his age. We have seen that so many EPL players are having fat bodies at this age.

Ronaldo keeps try so hard to keep his healthy like to make sure his age will not be impacting his performance. Glad to see that ronaldo has been motivating lots of players in the world to be as good as him.
That's why many people were taking him as their idols. It's caused by ronaldo has a very strong vision on his life. he is not willing to miss any opportunities.

When zuzie created the thread on Saudi Professional League, I never thought that it will become one of the most popular topics within the Gambling Discussion sub-forum. In less than 12 months, we have dozens of active users who are posting on this thread and it has always remained in the first page of the sub-forum. And a lot of credit goes to Cristiano Ronaldo. He was the one who made SPL famous across the globe. Now they have superstars such as Aleksandar Mitrović, Sadio Mané and Karim Benzema playing in the league, but CR7 was the one who started it.

However, maybe I personally remain pessimistic that the Saudi Pro League will be as good as it is now if later Ronaldo leaves or retires. Because ya, I think even though there are still other European stars playing in the Saudi Pro League, but if Ronaldo is no longer here then maybe the Saudi Pro League rating will also decline. At least for now I believe that reason but ya, we will never know what other big steps the Saudi Pro League will make later.

Because basically they have a lot of money so of course, it doesn't seem like it will be difficult for them to make the Saudi Pro League still have a good rating. So yes, let's just wait and see what will happen in the Saudi Pro League in the future if, for example, Ronaldo no longer plays here.

[el kaka22]

It is still funny to me that people are talking about how many goals Ronaldo scored when the teams he is playing against are at best third division level in Europe for most nations. I am pretty sure you could take a league one team at England and put them here and would be fighting for a title, be better than most teams. He managed to score bunch of goals against low level teams here, and when he played against Al Hilal he was nowhere to be found and didn't even take any decent shots.

Because, he is not the player you think he is. I get that 50 goals is great, but how many of them were scored against teams that were actually good? Most of the teams he played against wouldn't even be ranked top 1000 let alone anything better.

Ronaldo success in the world of football indeed it is undisputed, perhaps currently there is no other player who is capable to duplicate of Ronalod in football. But if Mbappe in the right club as Real Madrid, I think he could also become a Goat like Ronaldo in the next 5 years, although it is too early to say that, but Mbappe has that ability and he is also hungry for goals and winning. But, to surpass Ronaldo goal achievement, I think the possibility is small for Mbappe.

@pusaka, Maybe it's because he was at the right club before, the experience made him the best striker.
Yes, because his achievements. He will always be a hot topic, many people admire him, so Ronaldo will continue to be talked even though right now he is not playing in the big Europa league.

Well Ronaldo always has to make his fans keep chanting his name so I feel you’re wrong thinking the goals doesn’t matter. His fans take full cognizance of them and are always so happy when he scores a real stunning goal and you see them make sure their GOAT is trending. These records helps them majorly in their arguments when comparing players.

 Yes the pay is quite huge but I feel he’s doing it because that’s his passion though the money is still a factor because it’s an incentive that motivates man to work and he’s determined to delivering a very good job. He tries to be the best everywhere he goes, in Europe and beyond and he’s doing that already, he's already helped Al Nassr to secure a trophy and I believe if he had gone there a season earlier, he would had probably become the all-time scorer for the club.

This time I am interested in seeing Al Ittihad's movements with their new coach, Marcelo Gallardo, who has handled Al Ittihad in 6 matches in all competitions. the result, not so bad. Of the 6 matches with his squad, 4 matches were won, one was a draw and one was lost. At least, Marcelo Gallardo is showing good progress. Apart from that, the Argentinian coach uses an offensive playing pattern, and I think Benzema really likes the system implemented by the coach who replaced Nino Santo, who previously managed Al Ittihad.

In the Club Wold Cup match, Al Ittihad defeated the opposing team, namely Auckland City. In fact, I don't know for sure whether their opponents are a strong team or not. However, one of the New Zealand League clubs is ranked 2nd. What is certain is that Al Hilal won the match smoothly. Plus, Bemzema returned to play with high performance and also contributed 1 goal in this match.

Well, this week Al Ittihad should have a meeting with Al Nassr. However, this match was postponed, because Al Ittihad will play an away match against Al Ahly, a club from Egypt. I want to see how far Marcelo Gallardo is able to take his team in a better direction. Moreover, in this match Al Ittihad was superior. But actually, I was more interested when Al Ittihad played a match in the Saudi Pro League, especially the match against Al Nassr.

Talking about Ronlado we can always expect to see perfect performance from this player in any team he plays for and doesn't matter even if he is playing a team like Al Nassr or he is playing for another team in the top European league Ronaldo is still a team player and he didn't lose his good form yet however he is getting old.
Currently, Ronaldo is the top goal scorer in the world, and 50 goals is a great number for this player while playing in the Saudi League.

Saudi King's Cup

Al shabab 1 - 1 Al Nassr

I'm following this game, Al Nassr is playing with all its best players, so far they have more possession of the ball, Talisca is not playing and is not on the list of players who were called up, but although he is a very important player for the team, I think that even without him Al Nassr would be able to come out of this game with victory,~

The match has ended. Al Shabab 2 - 5 Al Nassr.
The result of the match fits with your prediction. Al Nassr still could win with big scores although there is no Talisca on the lineup. Sure, Talisca is an important player for Al Nassr. But they have other great players, so it was not a big problem although Talisca was absent. Al Nassr goes to the next round of Saudi King CUP. I hope they won't face Al Hilal in semi-final, I really hope Al Hilal will play against Al Nassr in the final round.

Cristiano Ronaldo has just reached his 50th goal in 2023 and this was achieved when he contributed with the 1 goal he scored when Al-Nassr played against Al-Shabab in the Kings Cup competition.

It is impressive that he still could score 50 goals in a year. He is 38 years old, it is not easy to maintain the good performance in scoring at that age. A player must drop significantly his speed and his endurance when he reached 38 years old. But Ronaldo still has speed and great endurance at that age. It is simply impressive.

Mitrovic was not that familiar even for EPL fans too. i see no hype around him when he was announcing himself to join in the al nassr. Ronaldo was just helping to attract lots of old talents to the saudi pro league.

Mahrez, mane, maximin and many more. Even gerrard has joined in the al ettifaq but he was a flop. It proves that if more people are not adding SPL as one of their favorite clubs.

I rarely seen people talked about MLS in other thread. I saw its thread but people are not so active like this.

Often Ronaldo and Messi used to receive criticism, these people needs to give opportunity for the younger generation. If these two gets retired, football fans will miss them a lot and some even lose interest watching football. Amidst their age the performance hadn't got affected in any way. 50 goals is not a simple thing, and the expectation upon him on the Saudi Arabia Pro League hadn't got fulfilled. He is believed to make Al-Nassr on the top position, but things weren't going good as expected by the fans.

Nothing is over for Al Ittihad yet and they can still have a good performance with their new coach and the chance Al Ittihad's coach to try to prove himself in the next games is very much, especially when we know Al Ittihad is also playing in the AFC Chmpaniuos league however I think Al Ittihad was lucky to stay in this tournament but still Al Ittihad is far from top teams in the Saudi League like Al Nassr and Al Hial which means they should wait to see if these two teams will lose points in the next games or not.

The new record he created made everyone impressed, and even he did it not only in one team, but he was in several teams and also different leagues too.

Although currently many talented young players are emerging. But somehow no one has been able to replace the popularity of Cristiano Ronaldo. And actually there is a reason for all of this. Because now we can see how he is 38 to 39 years old but can still be a more effective spearhead at Al-Nassr and also in the Portuguese national team. Even though in the Portuguese national team there are Felix and Bruno Fernandes. But still the two of them have not been able to surpass the old player who is already 38 years old. Therefore, we really have to respect Cristiano Ronaldo because after all he taught us many things in the world of football. The optimism that he always displays and the ambition that is also in his nature must be used as a lesson by other players if they want to develop like Cristiano Ronaldo. And currently, even though Al-Nassr pays Cristiano Ronaldo very expensively, in fact the club gets more profits after bringing in this mega star player.

Well.. that is my point. Lionel Messi may be a legend, but it is Cristiano Ronaldo who attracts the global fans. Personally I have never followed any of the matches in MLS and I haven't even visited the MLS thread here in Gambling sub-forum. However, I am a regular visitor to this thread ever since CR7 joined the Saudi Professional League (back in January 2023). And it's not just me. SPL became one of the top football leagues in the world (in terms of popularity) immediately after CR7 joined. But Messi was unable to do anything like that with the Major League Soccer (MLS).

Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi are great players and their era is coming to an end gradually this season with both players out of the European football world. These two GOAT have dominated football over the years and they won't stop in their last aged ranges, instead they will keep pushing in for better results in matches, still a hugh surprise to watch these players surpassed the limelight of the current generation of talented kids, they don't even play up to the require standards of Ronaldo and Messi and that's exceptionally the stats of great GOATs.

It will be even great if messi will able to go to the saudi pro league. I have seen that many people are willing to see messi to compete with ronaldo again. It is saddened me that messi was avoiding to go to the saudi pro league due to the his wife.
What i can take from messi's interview if he was willing to join in saudi pro league but his wife has been preventing. I hope i can see messi play in saudi pro league someday.

Having messi and ronaldo in the same league will being back the old memories owned by la liga. We have seen that how big the hype owned by la liga.
Saudi pro league needs to approach him once again. Messi is good but not for his choice to join in MLS

Ronaldo is one of those players who started breaking records at the age of 38. The 38-year-old's performance caught everyone's attention. By 2023 Ronaldo has already scored 50 goals. Ronaldo will soon break the record of 1000 goals if he continues to score like this. He may have joined Al Nasser to fulfill Ronaldo's dream of 1000 goals. Moreover, Al Nasser must always be remembered because of Ronaldo, Saudi clubs including their club are becoming popular with so many people today. I will always love Ronaldo in my heart and soul and will love him for the rest of my life. A player like Ronaldo might find it difficult to get a second
