Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Xxmodded]

I think Benzema had many other problems besides club, there are many negative talks and memes about him on social media. Btw Saudi Arabian fans are very aggressive and expect to win only from one great player because they pay jackpot. Karim Benzema's salary is 100 million euros per season. He gets millions of Euros per week. Saudi also wants Benzema as ambassador for FIFA 2030 world cup because they are bidding to host. I don't know how long they plan to pay jackpot to each star football player because they should get a return on their investment but it seems that they are super serious and will do whatever it takes to transfer the football world from Europe to Saudi.

Karim Benzema on difficult position right now because expected will be success with Al Ittihad in this season his team has underperform and loss expected for defending domestic league tittle in this season. Apart from Karim Benzema being the ambassador for Saudi Arabia for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, Benzema's performance in his first season in the Saudi Pro League was far below fans' expectations with a salary of up to 100 million euros per season.

Looking form Karim Benzema statistic in the first season with Al Ittihad not really bad scoring 9 goals and 5 assist of 15 matches is more expected by fans but have problem with Al Ittihad performance dropped from top standings position with 25 points left from Al Hilal on top position standings awhile.

There is no doubt that Al Nassr has already win the match because it will not be easy for Al Taawoun to comeback and take the lead within the added minutes. Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

The game finished, and Al Nassr comfortably won the game with 1-4 against their host team Al Taawoun and further reduced the point gap they have between them and their league leaders Al Hilal down to 7 points. It was really an entertaining first half and second period of games. There is still hope for them to likely catch up points with Al Hilal if they continue to win their games and if Al Hilal happens to drop points, more games ahead to play and anything can happen.

So far, it is hard to pass Al-Hilal which not only rarely drop points but they beat the other teams with many goals. The other advantage that Al-Hilal have and make them solid is the fact that many of its players score goals. This characteristic is hardly found in the other Saudi Pro League teams.
Al-Nassr 55 goals were mainly scored by Cristiano Ronaldo (20 goals) and Talisca (11 goals). Ronaldo is being chased by Al-Hilal forward Mitrovic with 17 goals out of the 59 goals scored in 19 matches.

[nurilham]

It was a huge win for Al Nassr tonight as they continued their good away performance. Their hit man, Cristiano Ronaldo did not fail to join the goal scorers as he closed the scoring at the 92nd minutes to end the match at one goal to four in their favour. Despite this win , Al Nasrr is still lagging behind the top team Al Hilal by seven points. It is not clear if this season is settled for Al Hilal because external matches have a way of making big teams lose focus and Al Hilal is famous for that. Al Nassr just need to continue winning their matches and hope their greatest rival flops to reduce the gap between them.

Yep. Al Nassr won the match against Al Taawoun with 4 goals. It showed that Al Nassr still has a big intention to compete for the title. The point gap dropped 7 points now, it is still possible for Al Nassr to catch Al Hilal. Although it is small chance for now but it is not impossible. Well, Ronaldo scored again in this match, it makes Ronaldo to have 20 goals in SPL. He leads the top scorer of Saudi league this season.

Anyway, the chance to be the champion is for both Al Hilal and Al Nassr. Al Hilal surely has a higher chance to win it, but they can't rule out Al Nassr. Which one to be the champion will depend on which team to play more consistently until the end of the season.

Al Hilal should have been crowned champions by now, because they are not even willing to give up points. Fatigue and injuries have little effect on them because they have a depth squad, and even if one or two of their players are sidelined, the team continues to perform well and score more goals in almost all of their games. Mitrovic is one of their greatest signings this season because he has already contributed numerous goals that have helped the team advance in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr has been playing well ever since they lost to Al Hilal, they don’t seem to be slowing down even though they are points away from Al Hilal they still don’t want to give up just yet. Ronaldo didn’t fail to add up to his goal tally as expected even though it came late, this shows how reliable they can be. Al Nassr has little hope of winning the title because Al Hilal’s form is even better than Al Nassr and they don’t seem like a team that will drop points soon and if they keep winning Al Nassr will have no chance of winning the title.

Al Nassr lost the last game against A-Hilal, if that hadnt happened, the battle for the championship would be wide open. Now they have to chase it and I dont think they be able to do that. There are 15 games left and 7 points to catch up, it is possible but i dont think they made it. Ronaldo will want to playing, the European Championship in 2024 is coming up in a few months and then a WorldCup 2 years later... maybe he play there too. So Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will probably have one/two more season to win it.

[shogun47]

The worst and most boring part about Al-Hilal is how little resistance they experience from their opponents. Al Feiha didn't have one shot on target and during the full 90+ minutes they had two shots (not even on target though!). I don't know but this season will be a boring one and Al-Nassr disappointed a lot of those fans that were hoping for them to win the title. Ronaldo will probably score the most goals this season, but they won't have a chance to close the gap again and have a say in the fight for the title.

Yeah that's true, but Al Feiha has a reason for that they apply a defensive game and hope to get a point if the match ends in a draw it's just that they forget that their opponent is Al-Hilal as the strongest team and has great players like Aleksandar Mitrovic there really was no way to avoid attacks by Al-Hilal players. Next, it was Al-Nassr's turn to defeat Al-Taawon and I think Al-Nassr will get 3 more points this situation will continue until Al-Nassr plays Al-Hilal next year. I still hope Al-Hilal gets its first defeat so Al-Nassr still has a chance to win the title.

Al Feiha can't really be blamed for their approach during games against opponents that are so much stronger. I think we know that from every league where the weakest teams really focus on defending and hope that they can keep a clean sheet for as long as possible during the game to then maybe get lucky towards the end of the game and get this one lucky header after a corner or maybe even a free kick goal, but most of the time it doesn't work out if they play defense only. In addition to that, Al-Hilal is in great shape and they use their chances and keep pressuring until the last minute of the game. That's too hard to defend.

So Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will probably have one/two more season to win it.

Even before they lost to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro league, last month Al Nassr have been on a good run of form in the  Saudi league but but their only problem is that Al Hilal have been more consistent than them. After the completion of 19 league games in the league, Al Hilal are yet to suffer a defeat I'm the Saudi league while their rivals Al Nassr have already lost three games after playing the same number of league games.
Despite Al Nassr failure to be at the top of the league table, their star player cristiano Ronaldo hasn't failed to be at the top of the league scoring chart as he's been able to record 20 league goals.

[SATWAT]

There is no doubt that Al Nassr has already win the match because it will not be easy for Al Taawoun to comeback and take the lead within the added minutes. Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

Al-Nassr 55 goals were mainly scored by Cristiano Ronaldo (20 goals) and Talisca (11 goals). Ronaldo is being chased by Al-Hilal forward Mitrovic with 17 goals out of the 59 goals scored in 19 matches.

Even we have too much media coverage of Al Nassr just because of Cristiano Ronaldo but Al Hilal is surely doing one of the performance which is giving them serious alone contender for the title race, and they have very solid and perfect squad which is doing amazing performance with their attack and defense both are at same level and score 59 goals in 19 games and their four attackers are doing work with same level currently Metrovic is chasing Ronaldo which is currently at the top with 20 goals and Metrovic having 17 and their three other attackers are also chasing these leaders consistently, but Al Nassr needs to work on their defense and having some suitable replacements in coming transfer window if they want to have some for the title race as they are currently having seven points deficit form Al Hilal which is not easy to cover.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Yep. Al Nassr won the match against Al Taawoun with 4 goals. It showed that Al Nassr still has a big intention to compete for the title. The point gap dropped 7 points now, it is still possible for Al Nassr to catch Al Hilal. Although it is small chance for now but it is not impossible. Well, Ronaldo scored again in this match, it makes Ronaldo to have 20 goals in SPL. He leads the top scorer of Saudi league this season.

Anyway, the chance to be the champion is for both Al Hilal and Al Nassr. Al Hilal surely has a higher chance to win it, but they can't rule out Al Nassr. Which one to be the champion will depend on which team to play more consistently until the end of the season.

As we previously predicted, Al-Nassr will definitely continue to be motivated in every match they have to collect points from each match only in this way their chance to win the title is still available, if we look at the last 5 matches, Al-Nassr has always won by more than 3 goals  and Ronaldo is one of the scorers. Al-Nassr must continue playing like this while waiting for Al-Hilal to be beaten for the first time if this happens then Al-Nassr will be even more motivated. By the way, the competition will be stopped until 15 February I don't understand why it was paused for so long.

[Gallar]

I thought Al Nassr would win, they scored 3 goals and are leading the match. However, the interesting thing is that Ronaldo had no influence on these 3 goals. Ronaldo neither scored a goal nor made an assist. The goals came from midfielders and defenders. In fact, this situation reveals what quality feet Al Nassr has. They get 3 points with 3 goals from an important away game. They can win even if Ronaldo doesn't affect the score. Of course, without Ronaldo, the viewing rates of the matches may be different (lower).

There is no doubt that Al Nassr has already win the match because it will not be easy for Al Taawoun to comeback and take the lead within the added minutes. Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

It is not clear if this season is settled for Al Hilal because external matches have a way of making big teams lose focus and Al Hilal is famous for that. Al Nassr just need to continue winning their matches and hope their greatest rival flops to reduce the gap between them.

Even though in that match Ronaldo was only able to score one goal at the end of the second half, his contribution was still big. The reason is that Ronaldo occasionally always provides breakthrough passes to his teammates.

However, with the win in this match, Al Nasr still has a long way to go to compete with or overtake Al Hilal from the top of the standings. Because the point difference is quite large (7 points). Even though it feels a bit heavy, it is not impossible that Al Nasr can overtake Al Hilal. However, there may be several conditions so that Al Nasr can occupy the top of the standings.

The first condition is that Al Hilal must lose at least two matches this season.

The second condition is that Al Nasr must not suffer a single defeat. Because if Al Nasr experiences one defeat, the difference in points with Al Hilal will be even greater.

In my opinion, these two conditions are the most important, because considering that currently Al Hilal has not been defeated at all, Al Nasr must be able to continue winning matches, so that Al Nasr's potential to occupy the top position is not too far away.

And the upcoming match doesn't look like it will be too difficult for Al Nasr. The reason is that if you look at the meeting record between the two teams, Al Nasr is far superior to Al Fateh with 4 wins and one draw.

[rendravolt]

Al-Nassr continues to extend its winning streak and this time they managed to beat the team that continues to overshadow them in the standings, namely Al-Taawoun. Since the first minute, Al-Taawoun, who were the hosts, broke into Al-Nassr's goal in the 13th minute with a goal from El Mahdioui. But even though this was an away match for Al-Nassr, this did not make them afraid or worried and they played a good game so they were able to turn things around and score 4 goals against Al-Taawoun. The Al-Nassr players who scored goals in this match were Brozovic, Laporte, Otavio, and closed by Ronaldo.

With this victory, Al-Nassr continues to close the distance from Al-Hilal and even though the difference is still quite large, around 7 points, they will still try to get closer. It was not easy for Al-Nassr who started the season with bad results and they must be grateful that by the middle of the season everything started to improve.




Anyway, with the addition of 1 goal via a header in injury time against Al-Taawoun, Ronaldo ended the year as the top scorer in 2023 with 54 goals for the club and the Portuguese national team. Still can't believe he did that and of course he is happy to be able to compete with other great players in the current generation.

Al Nassr are very strong in Saudi Professional League and they can continue to do their best performances and collect many points. Good wining streak is good for them because they are holding the runner up position and need to maximize their points while have to hope Al Hilal, a temporary first club will lose points.

The match with Al Taawoun did not start well for Al Nassr but with star players from Europe, Brozovic, Mane, Laporte, Otavio and Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr made a great come back and beat Al Taawoun with very big and convincing result.

With this victory, Al-Nassr continues to close the distance from Al-Hilal and even though the difference is still quite large, around 7 points, they will still try to get closer. It was not easy for Al-Nassr who started the season with bad results and they must be grateful that by the middle of the season everything started to improve.

Again the difference becomes 7 points but it is hard for Al Nassr to reduce it because if Al Nassr dominate other clubs, Al Hilal are able to do the same domination or even better. It is like Al Nassr are playing with small hope that Al Hilal will suddenly have one or two bad matches.

This is a big victory for Al Nassr because fighting Al Taawon is not an easy thing because in the first meeting this season Al Nassr was defeated by Al Taawon when playing at home. Now Al Nassr is able to avenge this defeat in the second meeting this season as the visiting team. Even I was able to doubtful that Al Nassr would not be able to achieve full points in this match turned out to be able to silence me that Al Nassr's current performance is really strong and they really want to compete with Al Hilal in the race for the Saudi Pro League title.

In my opinion, the difference of 7 points is quite a big difference because Al Nassr is fighting not to lose so as not to widen the gap with Al Hilal, Al Hilal is still undefeated to date so I really hope Al Hilal experiences defeat so that the gap between Al Nassr becomes small and I want to see increasingly fierce competition between Al Hilal and Al Nassr in the race for the title.

[Leviathan.007]

Not only Gerrard but Roy Kean, Rooney and Lampard have yet achieved great things in their coach career. Moving to Saudi Professional League is not the end for Gerrard career and he can take Xavi as an example. Xavi moved to Qatar but returned to Barcelona and won La Liga with them in the last season.

The Saudi Pro League are mainly not for some mediocre coaches, it's build for clubs that have stand their ground and will do anything to survived and stand firm on ground. The reason why these young coaches in the system are not doing well is basically clear and simple, they don't learn from the appropriate managers, we look at failing coaches like Wayne Rooney, Vincent Kompany despite bringing Burnley to EPL back but they're still going to be relegated because they couldn't meet up. Then for better mentorship, look at Mikel Arteta who learnt from Pep Guardiola how to manage a full elite team, although he's not succeeding but he's trying more than others. You're right about that, I would blame most of these players that are trying to further their career by aiming to becoming a potential coach, when we know fully well that they don't have what it takes to survive in the space.

Even in the past, Saudis were known for not giving the enough chances to the coaches and they usually got the coach fired from the teams once he got bad results and that's how they put the coaches under pressure.
Right now in this league, Gerrard is obviously under pressure and this coach is about to get fired from Al Ettifaq because of the bad results he got there.
Al Ettifaq spent too much money during the summer and they wanted to even hire Salah but so far Al Ettifaq is far from Al Hilal in first place on the table even after all the money invested for this team.

[Strongkored]

Very strange what happen with Benzema i dont have any clue, i only read in someplace that the new coach put the team to a double training session after bad results, but i dont think for that Benzema is gonna dissapear, maybe he is in talks with some european team? I dont think that but.... you never know.

I don't think Benzema will ever leave Saudi Arabia as a football player anymore. Even if he doesn't sign with the club, he stays in the team and continues to receive his money. He's considered too old for football now. He's not sure if he's ready for another European adventure or not. I think Benzema should stay in Saudi Arabia and focus on doing his best.

He is old enough to return to the leagues in Europe and it will be difficult for his agent to find a club that wants to use his services as a footballer because it is impossible for Benzema to be willing to be paid cheaply and clubs in Europe will consider it not worth spending large amounts of money on a player who is already old enough, especially seeing his performance in the Saudi pro league which shows a decline which will increasingly make clubs in Europe reluctant to buy him, staying in this league will be his choice unless he decides to retire, or look for another club in the Saudi pro league if he feels that Ittihad FC cannot develop well.
Al Nassr's victory over Al Taawon was in accordance with predictions and seeing how Al Nassr in 4 matches scored 16 goals was quite extraordinary and in fact if they had not experienced two consecutive defeats at the start of the season the competition with Al Hilal would have been very interesting, but for now with a difference of 7 point is quite difficult to catch up with Al Hilal who also appear very consistent.

As much as I respect Ronaldo as a football player and I really think he is one of the deadliest strikers the world has ever seen, comparing those numbers across the globe and comparing Ronaldo's goal count from the Saudi Professional League and the national team with that of three players from the Bundesliga, the Premier League and Ligue 1 doesn't look right to me. Everyone can have their opinion about this, but Haaland and Kane are far better than Ronaldo at the moment in my opinion. Mbappe should have scored more, but still the Saudi Professional League is like a children playground for Ronaldo.

[ajanwalker]

Old Wolf Ronaldo scored again yesterday, albeit in extra time. He played twenty-five matches with Al Nassr this season, all in the starting eleven, and has a total of 24 goals and 11 assists. At this age, this performance requires applause. Ronaldo sets a very good example of what professionalism is like to the world and especially to many football players.
Coming to the match, Al Taawon took the lead in the 13th minute of the match. El Mahdioui missed the penalty but completed the ball that returned from the goalkeeper and put his team ahead 1-0. 13 minutes after this goal, the star of the match, Brozovic, came on stage and scored the equalizing goal, making the match 1-1. Al Nassr took the lead 1-2 with Laporte's goal in the 35th minute. In the second half, Otavio made the score 1-3 at the 50th minute and the captain took the stage at the 90+2 minute and scored the goal that did not pass the game in vain. Al Nassr defeated Al Taawon with 1-4 and did not lose any points on the way to the championship.
Star of the night was Brozovic with 1 goal and 1 assist.

Yes, I agree with you that Mbappe, Haaland and Kane are at a different level of competition to Ronaldo and that is a fact. But sometimes at an older age Ronaldo can still be productive and try to compete to chase other records. Ronaldo never once thought about retiring when he was at his current age.

However, what counts is the number of goals and despite being in a different generation, Ronaldo proves that competition still exists. All players have levels depending on their current age and Ronaldo will only be able to place his current performance in the Saudi league and will not be able to be at the top in European competitions like when he was young.

I liked how the Al-Nassr squad won the match. They enable players to score goals evenly. Which indicates there is no selfishness in the Al-Nassr squad. In this match, Talisca did not score a goal but he had an important role by making 1 assist. And C.Ronaldo really ended the year very brilliantly. Well that was C.Ronaldo's last goal at the end of the year. This player, who is no longer young, always amazes me with the stamina he has. Even though he is no longer young, he often plays full time. And it is quite impressive to see that C. Ronaldo can be more productive than the young players.

But the difference in points with Al-hilal is still the same and yes, it is very difficult to wait for Al-hilal to lose points this season. Because everyone definitely admits how strong Al-hilal's performance is currently. And Al-Nassr, which continues to trail in second place, is also quite good because Al-Nassr has also been able to maintain positive results to date. But if Al-Nassr fails then it will ensure that Al-hilal will indeed win the title this season.
