Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[asriloni]

The main problem Cristiano is having is the problem of not becoming champion in the arab league, so he need to win the trophy to become more important in that land.

And this year dont seem to be the one in wich he can be champion, at least until now with this Al hilal team in such good shape.

It seems that the title of Saudi Pro League champion is no longer possible this season, but there are two tournaments that they are also competing in, namely the Asian Champions League where Al Nassr is still competing in the round of 16 and also the King's Cup where Al Nassr managed to advance to the semifinals but in the final round if If they manage to qualify, they will probably face Al Hilal, who are the strongest team at the moment, so their chances in the King's Cup will also be quite difficult. And the championship title is the only one that Ronaldo has not given to his club and it would be quite a shame if until he finishes his contract there there is no championship title that he can present because that would certainly not be a good record for his career.

That's possible to happen once the al nassr will able to cut the gap to the al hilal. The only important question is whether al hilal will be missing some points. This is still remain unanswered question right now. I meant that if al hilal has been trying so hard to get the perfect result and this will be also impacting the mentality owned by al nassr. Mitrovic has become the only strongest player who can compete with ronaldo.

These guys were consistently competing each other in leading the top scorer this season. It's likely that if al hilal is targeting to get perfect result till the end of season. Im concerning about the performance of al hilal which is very stable.
The only main requirement for al hilal to miss some points when the players will miss some names like mitrovic and savic. Al nassr can try to put all of its focus to win AFC this season.

It's still a good trophy to win. I was just aware how strong al hilal is right now. It's not a lot of club can get draw or even beat it. The chance owned by al nassr to get the SPL trophy becomes even less than before.

It is very difficult when other strong teams have experienced coaches while Al-Ettifaq only has Steven Gerrard who has a big name as a former football player to boost their popularity. The results are as we can see now and Al-Ettifaq is sitting in 8th position in the standings and is still likely to drop again if they continue to suffer bad results in the next few matches. Al-Ettifaq also has not won again in the last 8 matches and all of them only ended in draws and defeats.

Obviously it is a bad result and I am not sure even if this January they bring in more players but as long as the coach is Steven Gerrard the results will remain the same and nothing will change. So the solution for Al-Ettifaq is to find a trainer who is competent in his field and of course quite experienced.

I agree that Steven Gerrard is not worthy of handling this team and competes with other teams he has a great squad but has not been able to give Al-Ettifaq a good performance for the team, luckily Al-Ettifaq is not alone there are also other teams like Al-Ittihad who experienced the same thing which is in position 7 so Steven Gerrard has a reason why he hasn't been able to bring Al-Ettifaq to the best position. In my opinion Al-Ettifaq will do something next season not for the transfer window this month, the owner will not let Al-Ettifaq fall down.

That's why I criticize him so much and this will continue to happen if the club management doesn't act immediately. Al-Ettifaq has invested a lot of money to bring in star players and I think even though they are not satisfied enough, if they immediately fire Steven Gerrard and look for a new coach then it is very likely that their goal will also be realized.

The competition in the Saudi League is quite difficult to predict this season because strong teams like Al-Ittihad have also fallen quite far from the top flight. Even though Al-Ittihad is the defending champion of the Saudi league and with the existing internal problems they are also unable to overcome problems related to their coach. So before it is too late and there is no solution, Al-Ettifaq must immediately take a stand and at the same time invest more funds to bring in European players.

However, this hope has the potential to be dashed for Ronaldo fans all over the world, if in the end Ronaldo is unable to bring Al Nassr to present the Saudi Pro League trophy plus the top scorer belongs to his rival Mitrovic. in this thread, it is very likely that almost most of them are Ronaldo fans, because Ronaldo is always the best-selling theme in every discussion in the Saudi Professional League thread. to be honest, I am a neutral supporter for this competition. the point is, I only enjoy matches that are interesting and crucial for me. the rest, I don't really follow the development of the lower middle teams. currently, the Saudi Pro League has presented 19 matches and Al Hilal is perched at the top of the standings.
meanwhile, Al Nassr is in the runner up position with a difference of seven points from Al Hilal. 7 points adrift of the top of the standings, this must be a strong motivation for Ronald and his colleagues to keep Al Nassr on the right track. apart from that, if Ronaldo cares about the competition for top scorers, Ronaldo automatically has to prove his capacity as a sharp player even though he is no longer young. after all, Ronaldo has a lot of support from his teammates. there are Sadio Mane, Talisca, Brozovic, and several other players. in terms of quality, Ronaldo gets special support from his teammates who have the ability to help him break into the opposing team's goal.

Apart from that, being 7 points behind doesn't have to discourage Ronaldo fans. after all, this competition still had a lot of matches left. and what is certain, overall Al Nassr will play on the right track. however, the rivals will not let their rivals get close to their points. which means, Jorge Jesus will try to ensure his squad stays on the winning track until they get closer to winning the trophy this season. likewise with Mitrovic, the Al Hilal center forward would be honored to compete with a star of Ronaldo's caliber. whether in terms of scoring goals, or bringing his team to win the League trophy. well, let's see how far these two teams compete and play their matches until the end of the season.

Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.

 The competition is still far way to its end and Al-Hilal must be able to maintain their form till the very end because any slip in 2 matches would make Al-Nassr overtake them and that’s pretty possible because football is a game and has 90 minutes to play. I think the competition between both teams is really fierce and interesting and the fans loves this healthy competition, Al-Hilal shouldn't be too comfortable with their spot on the table cause they're just 2 loses away from losing their position. And any mistake could see that become a reality which is something the CR7 fans are really hoping for.

And this year dont seem to be the one in wich he can be champion, at least until now with this Al hilal team in such good shape.

Last season we saw Cristiano Ronaldo's side win the Arab Cup and this season their performances have been consistent enough to win the Saudi League title this season. There are some clubs in the Saudi League including Al Hilal who are currently performing well and due to the good performance of those clubs, it seems that Al-Nassr may have some trouble to win the Saudi League title this season as well. We can see some effect of age taking its toll on Cristiano Ronaldo due to which we are not seeing the same performances from him that he could have before. But if the team does not rely only on Cristiano Ronaldo and if all the other players take responsibility then it will not be impossible for Al-Nassr to make the Saudi League.

I doubt that team results (by the way, the number of goals scored also largely depends on the team) can be transferred to a discussion about individual qualities. This is the first thing. Secondly, no matter how Ronaldo performs in the Saudi League, fans will argue about who is the GOAT based clearly not on his achievements here. All the most important things are already in the past - the Champions League. Of course, there are still games of national teams where Ronaldo is going to continue, but this will be, so to speak, “additional material” for discussion.

I think it's too much when something that should be earned as a team becomes a burden for a player. After all Ronaldo is in a club and to become a champion it is determined by the team not individuals. I disagree if you say this is a problem faced by Ronaldo because he cannot become a champion in the SPL. Al Nassr as a team must bear that burden, because even if a player plays well but as a team still has shortcomings, then until whenever they will not become champions.
There is one player who feels this, Kane for example, he plays well, but his club still has many shortcomings so he cannot get a title in the Premier League.

As long the match schedule is still very long, it looks like Al Nassr still has the opportunity to try to continue to catch up with the points that Al Hilal has because we never know whether Al hilal will be able to be consistent without being defeated until the end of the season, but in my opinion, Al Hilal could lose points, but not too much and on one hand, it is impossible for a club to perform consistently without being defeated until the end the season, there will definitely be at least several defeats because it is impossible for player to continue to have the physical strength to continue competing throughout the season and this causes decline in the club performance which results in defeat.
From the data I saw several seasons ago, Al Hilal lost at least twice and it could happen again this season.

[shogun47]

Al Nassr won't win the trophy and I think hardly anyone would bet against that. They are 7 points behind Al-Hilal, but the bigger problem is that Al-Hilal is in excellent shape and they are leaving no doubt that they will most likely continue with their performances until the end of the season. There are no good reasons to believe that this would soon drastically change. Al-Nassr will have one last chance and this is if they win 90% of their games from now on and then win the game against Al-Hilal during the second half of the season. Maybe then they have a chance.

Al Nassr started the season a little unluckily so wasting too many points has become a big problem for Al Nassr now which makes them 7 points behind Al Hilal, and I think this is normal because they have to adapt to a new coach at the start of the season. this season. season. Now Al Nassr's game is consistent and even Al Nassr's front line already has chemistry with each other which makes them very productive in scoring goals.

It's just that Al Hilal is also in good condition, they find it very difficult to make so many mistakes that they lose points. I predict that this season the SPL league title will be won by Al Hilal. It's true that the SPL still has a long way to go, but looking at Al Hilal's performance this season, I think it will be difficult to stop them. Al Hilal are unbeaten so far and their defense is also very strong so they have conceded minimal goals so far.

I guess it doesn't need a lot of wisdom to predict that Al Hilal is going to the win the Saudi Pro League title. The good condition they are in, the 7 points advantage and the fact that sometimes Al-Nassr can't bring home a lead successfully will ultimately make them the title winner this season. But Al-Nassr knows that if they want to win the title, no excuses are allowed and no minor mistakes as losing one or two games early in the season. I think even if they win every game now it would be hard to become the champion.

We can not ask too much from Cristiano Ronaldo. Seeing he is still able to play already a magic. Witnessing he scored more than 50 goals and became a best scorer in 2023 globally is another magic. Many players at his age can not play and have to announce their retirement even at younger ages than 38 years old.

Agree. He is already 38 years old, it is no longer an ideal age for a footballer. Yes, in this age, many footballers already retire from their career. Meanwhile Ronaldo still has a good ambition to be the best player in SPL and he still contributed well for Al Nassr. Scoring above 50 goals is something extraordinary for a 38 years old player. So, he actually already did good work for Al Nassr.

To win Saudi Professional League, Al Nassr must be a best team with most total points through a long season. They must beat some competitors especially a most successful club in Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal. To do this, Al Nassr needs more than only Cristiano Ronaldo and they can have it with many star players in their squad. Mane, Brozovic, Otavio, Talisca and some domestic players, they have enough strong and competitive squad for the race.

It is not easy to win SPL title because there are some strong teams now. AL Nassr may have some top players, but they won't win the title if they can't play as a solid team. Ronaldo also can't make Al Nassr to win the title if he works alone. Al Hilal showed that they are a solid team, that's why they are difficult to be defeated. Al Nassr must follow what Al Nassr applied in their game if Al Nassr wants to win the title.

Anyway, if we consider the Saudi Pro League seems to have become a different level from the tough competition in the big leagues in Europe. So yes, if for example Ronaldo is still very productive in making goals in the Saudi Pro League, then I think it is still natural to happen because ya, at least the competition in the Saudi Pro League is not as difficult as the big league competition in Europe. Although indeed, currently in the Saudi Pro League also has many star players in certain teams but yes, it still does not have the high intensity of the big European leagues.

Therefore, I don't care whether Ronaldo a goat or not because anyway, the assumption still passes for fans and does not apply to those who are not fans and also have a neutral attitude. So yes, let or no problem if fans still consider Ronaldo as a goat because after all, Ronaldo basically also has extraordinary achievements and also has a big influence in the world of soccer.

In fact, from the composition of players currently owned by Al Ettifaq, it is natural that Gerard has difficulty finding a good strategy for his team, so it is very natural that Al Ettifaq is in 8th position at the moment (Al Ettifaq's performance is not much different from last season)
Steven Gerrard has a big name because of his experience as a football star, but not all great former players can become great coaches, Al Ettifaq will definitely give Gerrard time to help improve Al Ettifaq's performance.

Currently Al Hilal is the strongest team in the Saudi Arabian league, the Al Hilal coach is truly a brilliant man, even Al Nassr is having difficulty catching up with the points they are behind.

So, he actually already did good work for Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a good lifestyle as an athlete, even though he is 38 years old, he still performs quite consistently and is the top scorer this year with a collection of 54 goals. Its not problem for him when raising age 38 years old keep consistency performance regarding other players on his age have been retired or playing with lower level competition. Must be inspiring for other players how most important with good lifestyle as athlete and keep take care with their physical condition.

It is not easy to win SPL title because there are some strong teams now. AL Nassr may have some top players, but they won't win the title if they can't play as a solid team. Ronaldo also can't make Al Nassr to win the title if he works alone. Al Hilal showed that they are a solid team, that's why they are difficult to be defeated. Al Nassr must follow what Al Nassr applied in their game if Al Nassr wants to win the title.

Talking about possibility of not for Al Nassr win Saudi Pro League tittle in this season seems bit difficult although not close yet, remaining 7 points behind Al Hilal with impressive performance this season and first meeting Al Nassr have defeated not has many choose if can't beat them on second half match.

I mean isn't it logical that when you are making assumptions on who is the greatest, you should probably not put in the league that is not even in top ten, and probably not a great league at all. Okay, I am not saying they are at San Marino level, but I would not put them anywhere near top 10, and would have trouble positioning them at top 20 just because they had one great year with many great players, maybe in a few years when we see more, we may, but not now.

So all in all, I think if we are talking about "Messi vs Ronaldo", that ended a few years ago, when Ronaldo was at United and Messi was at PSG, that was the last year they had, last season and this season is not considered for me, they are just done, see the past to compare them, not anymore.

Team results and individual quality is a difficult topic as I know that there are pros and cons here. The best example to begin with is national teams and how it paves players' ways as to whether or not they can ever win a World Cup title. It was often said that Messi would not be a complete GOAT if he doesn't win the World Cup. But how would we handle the case for Haaland then? Can he never become a GOAT because he was born in Norway and will never win a World Cup for the foreseeable future?

But at the same time I agree that considering Ronaldo's goals in the Saudi League makes no sense. It just doesn't add up when we want to compare the best Messi vs. the best Ronaldo and we count the goals he is scoring in Saudi Arabia when there is so much more to look at that has significant meaning in soccer.

 The competition is still far way to its end and Al-Hilal must be able to maintain their form till the very end because any slip in 2 matches would make Al-Nassr overtake them and that’s pretty possible because football is a game and has 90 minutes to play. I think the competition between both teams is really fierce and interesting and the fans loves this healthy competition, Al-Hilal shouldn't be too comfortable with their spot on the table cause they're just 2 loses away from losing their position. And any mistake could see that become a reality which is something the CR7 fans are really hoping for.

What if the opposite happened, Al Nassr slipped in his two matches. moreover, in the 19 matches they played, Al Nassr suffered three defeats. meanwhile, Al Hilal remained consistent without losing even though of the 19 matches they played, 2 of them ended in a draw. in terms of consistency, Al Hilal is superior to its competitors. after all, in football it is unique, the situation could happen otherwise. in the upcoming match, Al Nassr has the potential to slip when playing his game. especially, when these two teams meet again. if Al Nassr falls again, that means making Al Hilal more comfortable in his position.

So, so far we have only talked based on assumptions and speculation, we will really find out after these two teams play match after match. plus, the match between these two teams. from a player's perspective, Ronaldo will definitely always try to score as many goals as he can. on Al Hilal's side, Mitrovic will be increasingly challenged to stick closely to Ronaldo in terms of scoring goals. even, if Al Hilal continues to play its best game. it is possible that Mitrovic will take over the top scorer. well, the point is that we don't know anything other than waiting as these two teams play match after match. and what is certain, to reduce Al Hilal's points, Al Nassr must overthrow him at the next meeting. the rest, if Al Hilal slips in the match they are playing. in this way, Al Nassr's chances are getting bigger to overtake the position of its rival team. however, Al Hilal is well aware that they cannot relax their performance if they want to win this competition trophy.

Meanwhile Ronaldo still has a good ambition to be the best player in SPL and he still contributed well for Al Nassr. Scoring above 50 goals is something extraordinary for a 38 years old player. So, he actually already did good work for Al Nassr.

Sometimes I fold my arms and wonder how football will turn out to be without the presence of these big names. Al Nassr should be thanking their stars they signed Ronaldo and he single-handedly deliver the team in crucial moments, alot of things he has done, creating and breaking records which he's popularly known for. Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goal scorer for SPL and also lead in 2023 as top goal scorer on the leaderboard and in all this he's 38 years old. A genius in football weigh beyond the level of his teammates, infact they're learning from him in all games he featured.

PIF made a very wise move through Al-Nassr by bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to Arab football. What makes Arab football get more attention from world football fans. And all of that is because of the big name that Cristiano Ronaldo has in the world of football. He is already 38 years old and will almost be 39 years old in the next month. And yes, thanks to the name Cristiano Ronaldo, many other top European players are also attracted to the Arab league. So this season we can see more top European players in the SPL. In fact, next season there may be even more.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to contribute well even though he is no longer young. And yes, he is the top scorer this season. This season in the SPL Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 20 goals in half the season and I am sure he will score more goals in the second half of the season.

I agree that Steven Gerrard is not worthy of handling this team and competes with other teams he has a great squad but has not been able to give Al-Ettifaq a good performance for the team, luckily Al-Ettifaq is not alone there are also other teams like Al-Ittihad who experienced the same thing which is in position 7 so Steven Gerrard has a reason why he hasn't been able to bring Al-Ettifaq to the best position. In my opinion Al-Ettifaq will do something next season not for the transfer window this month, the owner will not let Al-Ettifaq fall down.

In fact, from the composition of players currently owned by Al Ettifaq, it is natural that Gerard has difficulty finding a good strategy for his team, so it is very natural that Al Ettifaq is in 8th position at the moment (Al Ettifaq's performance is not much different from last season)
Steven Gerrard has a big name because of his experience as a football star, but not all great former players can become great coaches, Al Ettifaq will definitely give Gerrard time to help improve Al Ettifaq's performance.

Currently Al Hilal is the strongest team in the Saudi Arabian league, the Al Hilal coach is truly a brilliant man, even Al Nassr is having difficulty catching up with the points they are behind.

Talking about the composition of Al Ettifaq's players, in my opinion the players still have good potential but unfortunately Steven Gerarrd cannot build the club's performance as a whole because even though he had good experience when he was a player, in fact players and coaches are different and I don't think this is his field. We can see when he was fired while coaching Aston Villa because he worked very badly, he was even fired because he was only able to make Aston Villa achieve 2 wins from 12 matches, so I don't think there is any other reason to keep Steven Gerarrd if the club doesn't change.

And in the last 10 matches that Ettifaq played this season, he was only able to achieve 1 win, this shows how bad Steven Gerarrd is at coaching clubs, coaching the Saudi league and the European league is clearly different because Steven Gerarrd has no experience and has never even played here, so according to I understand that Ettifaq did not achieve the expected results with this coach.

[Solokan]

I really miss Al-Nassr playing again against the Saudi Arabian League again but unfortunately it's still quite a long time to see Al-Nassr playing again and the first opponent that Al-Nassr will face is Al-fateh and in my opinion Al-fateh cannot be taken lightly by Al-nassr Even though Al-Fateh is ranked 6th, of course I'm sure Al-Nassr will appear confident against Al-Fateh, but I'm sure Al-Fateh will also appear confident because I saw Al-Fateh compete. against Al-taawon at that time Al-fateh won with a score of 1-3 and I am sure Al-nassr and Al-fateh will compete for points.

but before the match with Al-fateh Al-nassr will play against inter miami as a friendly match, I think this is the match that the audience is waiting for and I also hope Messi is there and plays and I can't wait to do see the appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Of course, from the results of this match we will see whether Al-Nassr will win or not and of course this is a rare moment that we will encounter, namely the meeting of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and of course we will see whether Cristiano Ronaldo will win. score a goal or not and whether Messi will also score a goal or not. I am sure the Inter Miami coach will prepare his players well because I believe Al-Nassr is a strong team and I am sure Inter Miami will not underestimate Al-Nassr because Al-Nassr is currently ranked 2nd in the standings. while currently Inter Miami in the MLS league is ranked 14th.

Agree. He is already 38 years old, it is no longer an ideal age for a footballer. Yes, in this age, many footballers already retire from their career. Meanwhile Ronaldo still has a good ambition to be the best player in SPL and he still contributed well for Al Nassr. Scoring above 50 goals is something extraordinary for a 38 years old player. So, he actually already did good work for Al Nassr.

Sometimes I fold my arms and wonder how football will turn out to be without the presence of these big names. Al Nassr should be thanking their stars they signed Ronaldo and he single-handedly deliver the team in crucial moments, alot of things he has done, creating and breaking records which he's popularly known for. Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goal scorer for SPL and also lead in 2023 as top goal scorer on the leaderboard and in all this he's 38 years old. A genius in football weigh beyond the level of his teammates, infact they're learning from him in all games he featured.

Ronaldo is a living football legend. It's a privilege to play in the same team with him. These players have a lot to gain from it. He has great technical knowledge. He also knows how to work. He can easily continue in football as a coach or trainer. Look, he is almost 40 years old and still in great shape. He became the top scorer of 2023 and will almost be 38 years old. There is a lot to write about him, but in summary, Al Nassr players are very lucky.
