Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

~snip~

Manchester United and Ten Hag changed to treat Casemiro unfairly and I believe the player is no longer happy in Old Trafford. It is probably good time for Casemiro to leave Europe and enjoy good salary from clubs in Saudi Arabia. I don't know how long will those clubs continue to pay high salary for star players from Europe. Casemiro will not have many seasons to join that league so he must make his decision soon enough.

The rumor looks logical with Cristiano Ronaldo's engagement in convincing Casemiro to join Al Nassr. It's rumor now and even it looks logical, we have to wait what will happen in next 8 days before the winter transfer market in Europe will close.

I'm sure Casemiro will be a good player when he gets the right coach. Ten Hag didn't treat him well, and the player's problems don't seem to be limited to Casemiro. We can see, if Sancho goes to Dortmund and he can immediately get the best place and even score goals. Right now Man United's problem is not only players but I think they also evaluate the coach immediately. Because if you look at the moment Man United have a lot of good players, but they are unable to develop to get good results in the competition.

Casemiro is indeed a very good striker. However, all of this is useless if the coach (Teen Hag) does not provide enough space to accommodate the quality of his game. Personally, I would prefer MU to change its coach. Because currently MU actually has quite good players. However, because of the coach's selfishness and favoritism, it became MU's burden to progress. A big example is Ronaldo. At that time we all knew that Ronaldo was a very great player at Juventus. However, when he moved from Juventus to MU, his performance dropped drastically. And from the news that I know, it turns out that the main reason Ronaldo's performance was not good when playing at Mu, was because Ronaldo was often ignored by the coach (Teen Hag). However, after Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia (Al Nasr), his epic performance that was not seen while at MU appeared again.
So it's clear, MU coache (Teen Hag) always waste talented players just because of their personal selfishness.

Apart from that, Casemiro also has a long contract with MU, namely until 2026. So Casemiro actually has to make a choice immediately. Because if Teen Hag's treatment of him is still not good, I think it would be better if Casemiro moved to another team. Whether it's the Saudi Arabian League, Italian League or German League, I think it will definitely be better.And if, for example, Casemiro moves to the Saudi Arabian League, I think he would be very suitable in a team with Ronaldo at Al Nasr, because Ronaldo is a good friend of Casemiro, so if they play together, I'm sure their chemistry will definitely be good. Apart from Al Nasr, Casemiro would also be very suitable if he moved to Al Ahli. The reason is that at Al Ahli there are several players who come from Brazil and one of them is Firmino.

The era of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has ended as the best players it is a fact that cannot be denied and that's why we see Ronaldo playing in this league because he is considered unable to compete with other European players, especially young players. If you talk about the Saudi Pro League of course Ronaldo is still the best but for Europe I don't think so anymore there are still many talented young players, for now Ronaldo will only be a legend and Messi of course.

Ended? still not yet because Lionel Messi success won best men FIFA players last several days ago although he doesn't play with competitive league since October. Since FIFA still with the same person manage I don't sure the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have ended because FIFA always make many controversial about best players achieving result.
Actually Saudi Pro League more quit well compete than MLS League, have many top European in Saudi Pro League and competition have promotion then relegation system difference with MLS league without promotion and relegation.

Next have friendly match between Al Nassr vs Inter Miami, its the moment for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continue their debate who are the best players both of them

As long as these two players are still working in the world of football and have not retired, their glory day are not over and will still be a motivation for other football players, unless they have decided to retire, which mean it is no longer possible for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi competes with young players and it could be said that its glory days are over. But for now their potential is still quite good and can still compete with young players like currently Cristiano Ronaldo who is the top scorer in the Saudi League.

Regarding the meet between the two, it will definitely be a controversial meeting and Cristiano Ronaldo will reunite with Lionel Messi, both of them are football legends and the meeting between the two will definitely be very interesting to watch, especially Cristiano Ronaldo fans from various parts of the world and also Lionel Messi fans from various parts of the world so that we can see which of them is still the best.

[Hirose UK]

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the best players of today. Although Cristiano Ronaldo has good performance and running speed due to his age barrier. But unlike most unique players, Ronaldo's style of play and performance can easily attack the best unique teams. In future too these two players will be the best as very few players will be made than them.

Yes, era of Ronaldo and Messi as the best players and fierce competition is over, now Messi is with Inter Miami in MLS and Ronaldo is with Al Nassr in SPL.
Both players took their own paths by going to teams that were impossible to meet, but Ronaldo is more striking with Al Nassr thanks to his achievements as the best player and is different from Messi who may not have been able to develop playing with Inter Miami.
In the future, Ronaldo will continue to be considered the best player in the SPL and of course Al Nassr was very lucky or made the right decision when taking Ronaldo, Al Nassr spent lot of money on Ronaldo but it was all worth it for what he gave for every win.
Now Europe only has young players left and in the future many will definitely go to Saudi because the offers given are also very tempting, Saudi is the most successful place in player transfers.
It not surprising that many European star players have really arrived to be part of the SPL.

With both players leaving European football, everything ends and makes football a little bit slow and our expectations are caught short when it concerns the players, not everyone would be willing to watch the top notch actions of other league. Till the present age of football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have become the best players on planet earth. They survived in both bad and explore in good season, there's completely no season where we don't have to watch the absence or lift of trophy from these undisputed GOATs in football, they're weigh bigger than any player currently.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the best players of today. Although Cristiano Ronaldo has good performance and running speed due to his age barrier. But unlike most unique players, Ronaldo's style of play and performance can easily attack the best unique teams. In future too these two players will be the best as very few players will be made than them.

The secret behind Ronaldo success in maintaining his performance and running speed is because he always increases his personal training. He is able to maintain his weight by increasing his training hours at the gym. He is still very ambitious to play until he is 40 years old, his muscular physique, stable running speed and very hard kick mean he is still able to compete with players who are younger than him. Messi is no less great than Ronaldo, he is still able to run and dribble the ball well.

These two players are still the center of attention of football fans even though they no longer play in competitions that provide competitive competition. It is very difficult for other players to achieve performance like them, many players their age or even slightly younger than them have retired or are no longer the main choice in the starting XI.

It seems that money is the only reason why players have to accept offers from Arab clubs and there are no other reasons such as good competition or anything else that can be taken into consideration, because if the offer is from a club in Europe, of course there is consideration of the opportunity to get the title that the player really wants, like Kylian Mbappe who is expected to move to Real Madrid because the opportunity to get more prestigious achievements is wide open there compared to his current club.
There are rumors that Ten Hag is too strict in training so the players don't really like it, and if Casemiro feels he is no longer being treated well there, changing clubs would certainly be a good choice but he don't always have to consider money, because he is 32 years old in February and gets a better club in Europe I thinks it's  still wide open, but if he feels it's time to earn more money then moving to the Saudi Pro League is the only options.

Ronaldo as well as Messi cannot be forgotten in a hurry in the game of football. They’ve achieved a lot and has earned the recognition they’ve got.
Ronaldo is obviously an important player for Al-Nassr as they’ve cancelled friendly games cause of him. They know supporters would want to see Ronaldo play.

Both players have left the major spotlight but It’s quite obvious a lot of football fans would like to see both players play against each other again. Thinking along these lines, it’s apparent on why they would delay the friendly match between both teams.

To the viewing pleasure of football fans across the globe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have successfully delivered the best football moments in football for the past two decades. Football have never experienced such top level of rivalry between two players for over such long period of time. I don't even think we're gonna experience such again football anytime soon.

Sadly for Lionel Messi, he's not been physically fit to perform like he used to do before and that I think is a result of old age but for Cristiano Ronaldo, he's still delivering great performances for both hus club Al Nassr and his country Portugal. Surely in five years from now, we won't be seeing two of football greatest players grace our screens again.

For European competitions, it could be said that the era of Lionel Messi and Ronaldo is over because they have left the European league, but to remain the best players it will still be attached to their names because there are no current players who have matched their performance to date, they will still be the best players of all time regardless of the league they are currently in and we also shouldn't speculate just because Ronaldo moved to the SPL and Messi to Miami that their time has ended is wrong because they will continue to be the best players as long as they are still important players in the team.

Actually, Casemiro is still not too bad for Europe and even though he is about to turn 32 years old, I am very sure he is still in pretty good form. We know that Manchester United will only be a place where your career will decline because there are too many problems at the club. Erik Ten Hag's way of training is also too excessive and even experienced trainers don't have a method similar to his. I think this is just a problem with the system at Manchester United which has caused several talented players to leave, such as Sancho and Donny van De Beek.

Next, it might be Casemiro's turn to leave and I think it is time for Casemiro to focus on his career rather than having the motivation to improve Manchester United's performance. Being linked to Al-Nassr would certainly make fans' dreams come true by seeing Ronaldo and Casemiro in the same team again and that would be a very extraordinary thing for the Saudi league competition. The arrival of other great European players will make this league shine again even though there are already players who have left, such as Henderson or Benzema, who may soon follow.

The two friendly matches that have been confirmed to be postponed are the Shanghai Shenhua vs Al-Nassr match and the Zhejiang vs Al-Nassr match. Meanwhile, the Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami match is currently reportedly still unclear whether it will be postponed or not. Reports are confusing. But I hope the match can go ahead according to the predetermined schedule. I hope the calf muscle injury suffered by Cristiano Ronaldo is not serious and can recover quickly. Because currently many are looking forward to this match.

It's even possible that this match will be the last match between these two big stars. Because now both of them are in different leagues. And in matches between countries it is impossible to meet. Because there are continental differences between the two. So the opportunity to meet in the Inter Miami vs Al-Nassr match is a rare opportunity for the two to meet. And whatever the outcome, I actually don't care. Because I just want to see these two great players meet on the field.

Yes their era is over, but they are not finished yet, I mean they can still give something to their current club. Focusing on Ronaldo, he is now the top scorer for his club Al Narrs, not only that, he also now leads the most goals scored in the Saudi Pro League, this shows that he can still provide something extraordinary for Al Nassr.
Apart from Alnassr's position which is still under Al Hilal, that is another issue because it is a collective team, not just seen from individuals. It must be admitted that as a team Al Nassr is still below Al Hilal.
Previously, many people doubted that Ronaldo would survive this far considering his age, but he seems to be showing that age is not an obstacle for him to contribute to the club he is currently playing for.

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

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

Agree, although indeed, that Ronaldo and Messi are legends but now of course soccer will also have a new era with potential young players. Different cases if for example Ronaldo and Messi are still actively playing in the big European leagues then at least, the assessment might be different. Because anyway, because Ronaldo and Messi are currently only playing in a league that does not have the same level as in the big European leagues, then thus Ronaldo and Messi can play well, especially for Ronaldo. But anyway, although Ronaldo can still play well but yes, the fact is that Ronaldo still failed to bring Al Nassr to get the Saudi Pro League trophy. Therefore, their golden era is basically over and although it is hard to admit but that is the reality.

They're made players, we've watch and they've made football become more entertaining from their end, whenever they have them on the pitch, be rest assured there's hope for either a goal or an epic comeback if there team is losing, coming from behind wouldn't be a challenge for them. Ronaldo played for Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and now he's in Saudi Arabia where he play for Al Nassr. While Leo Messi play for Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and now Inter Miami. Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have made numerous vast achievements in the European football, both players become top rivals each season and this is pretty consistent run for these players.

Agree, mate. It is no longer the era of Ronaldo and Messi. Even Ronaldo didn't deny it. He often stated that Haaland and Mbappe as the two best players in the world now. I just can't believe that some Messi fans still assume Messi is still the best player in the world. I don't know what's the reason is, most of them don't want to wake up and see the reality. 

Sure, Ronaldo and Messi decided to leave Europe leagues. It is a very clear sign that they are no longer in their best level. If they are still in their best level, they must stay in the most competitive leagues in the world. So, they won't have the reason to play in Saudi League or MLS now.

However, it is true that Ronaldo and Messi will be always great legends.

It seems that money is the only reason why players have to accept offers from Arab clubs and there are no other reasons such as good competition or anything else that can be taken into consideration, because if the offer is from a club in Europe, of course there is consideration of the opportunity to get the title that the player really wants, like Kylian Mbappe who is expected to move to Real Madrid because the opportunity to get more prestigious achievements is wide open there compared to his current club.

Let's be realistic, previously this league was not very well known before Ronaldo joined. I mean, the Saudi Pro League competition is not really cared about by the wider community of football fans. in fact, the Saudi Pro League is less popular than the Qatar League. but now, the impact of change is occurring in this competition. we don't need to go far to speak to the wider community of football fans, we ourselves are involved in this thread discussing the Saudi Pro League competition even though most of it focuses on the teams that bring in the top European league players. the Saudis are well aware that they don't have much to offer in this competition apart from money and fantastic salaries. that's why, their main target is to bring in top players aged over 30+. apart from having big names, bringing them into this competition can boost football in Saudi Arabia. and it has been proven that the Saudi Pro League has always been a hot topic of conversation, especially when several clubs want to bring in big-name players.

But Saudi is really patient, their goal is not only to bring in top European players and have fantastic salaries. however, there is another plan behind everything they do in the project which is supervised by the kingdom and the sports minister. apart from improving football in this competition, the government and PIF have big plans and projects behind all of this. we can read the mission and mission of the PIF company. so don't be surprised if the players come to this competition for no other reason than money, and that is part of the project plan initiated by Saudi. as for young players, like Mbappe, who has big star names. it was very clear that their goal was not just money. but various titles in prestigious competitions. plus, a mission to achieve the best player award. Talking about Casemiro, for example, this Man United player is interested in getting a high salary and is willing to compete in this league. It won't take long if there will be a team interested in using his services.

Come to club football, Ronaldo and Messi is consistent and they do deliver important results for their perspective clubs while in country, there's no competition for these players because they conquered everything in football. Both leaving European football, watching matches specifically becomes bored. The era of Ronaldo and Messi is gradually coming to an end, football will never remained the same when these big names decides to hang their boots. Though they both have one last World Cup to feature for, it's going to be their very last world cup.

My hope is still that all of us get lucky enough to soon have a head to head fight between two players of that calibre in the same league. The match Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona won't be the same for a very long time.

As for the Saudi Professional League, even if Messi decided to go there and there would be matches between Ronaldo's team and whatever team he would have played for, it would have never gotten close to the excitement that the El Clasico was about.

They have made their decisions and the chapter of European football is over for them. Sometimes I think they could have played a few more years, but both of them had their reasons to leave.

In the future, Ronaldo will continue to be considered the best player in the SPL and of course Al Nassr was very lucky or made the right decision when taking Ronaldo, Al Nassr spent lot of money on Ronaldo but it was all worth it for what he gave for every win.
Now Europe only has young players left and in the future many will definitely go to Saudi because the offers given are also very tempting, Saudi is the most successful place in player transfers.
It not surprising that many European star players have really arrived to be part of the SPL.

For years, people were comparing Messi and Ronaldo because of their playing styles and both players had some achievements in any team they played. But now both of them are getting old and they are far from their younger ages, however, the situation for Ronaldo is different and he even scored more goals when he got older than 30.
The game between Inter Miami and Al Nassr is going to be definitely a good game especially because the games are delayed and Ronaldo will get into good form for that match.

[Slow death]

After a long time without games, we are already getting closer to the games resuming and the first game will be Al Taee against Al - Ittihad. This is a game that involves two teams that are in a very bad situation, both teams in the last 5 games had poor results, with Al Taee doing better because they had 2 wins and 3 losses, while Al - Ittihad in the last 5 Games had 1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's funny that both teams arrive in this game coming from 3 consecutive defeats. And also Al - Ittihad has internal problems with certain players, such as Benzema, according to this news I read a few days ago:

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Karim Benzema’s future, still open as meetings will take place this week

◉ Benzema, not training with the rest of the squad as more talks on future will happen with Al Ittihad bosses.

🇸🇦 Saudi bosses insist for Benzema to stay in SPL also with possible move to another Saudi club in January.

◉ The only way for return to Europe would be a huge salary cut — as the current package is too expensive.

◉ Olympique Lyon owner Textor made an attempt to bring Karim back but it’s still complicated to afford.

This means that in addition to Al - Ittihad being in a terrible situation with poor results, the team's situation only tends to get even worse because they won't be counting on Benzema. In my opinion, Al - Ittihad has no chance of winning the league this season and things will probably not get better for this team next season. Because we have to ask ourselves why Benzema and some other players who have recently arrived in this league are already giving up on this league early even with a lot of money that these Arabs offer? It seems to me that what I was saying is the reason, I always said that the political and social system in Saudi Arabia is not ideal for football players coming from Europe

especially the very famous players, this is because in Saudi Arabia people are not free, so football players who are used to lots of parties, sex with lots of women, will not feel good in Saudi Arabia about this, even if it involves a lot of money, They will give up and return to Europe. To this day I don't understand why the hell Benzema left Real Madrid, the guy didn't need to leave Real Madrid, he probably regrets the choice he made

If you talk about the Saudi Pro League of course Ronaldo is still the best but for Europe I don't think so anymore there are still many talented young players, for now Ronaldo will only be a legend and Messi of course.

Agree, although indeed, that Ronaldo and Messi are legends but now of course soccer will also have a new era with potential young players. Different cases if for example Ronaldo and Messi are still actively playing in the big European leagues then at least, the assessment might be different. Because anyway, because Ronaldo and Messi are currently only playing in a league that does not have the same level as in the big European leagues, then thus Ronaldo and Messi can play well, especially for Ronaldo. But anyway, although Ronaldo can still play well but yes, the fact is that Ronaldo still failed to bring Al Nassr to get the Saudi Pro League trophy. Therefore, their golden era is basically over and although it is hard to admit but that is the reality.

It wouldn't be wrong if we said that Ronaldo and Messi are the best players in the world at the moment. The reason is, these two players have made many achievements during their careers in the world of football. Even though in reality Ronaldo and Messi are no longer playing in Europe, there are various reasons why this could happen. Examples like

• Expensive costs.

As we know, to be able to bring Ronaldo and Messi to a club requires large funds. That is why clubs in Europe are reluctant to offer new contracts to the two players. Because the costs that must be incurred must be very large. Because of this, clubs with large capital such as Al Nasr and Inter Miami brought in these two players. The reason is that both clubs (Al Nasr & Inter Miami) need two great players to sharpen the team's strength and for popularity matters.

• European clubs want new, fresher players.

It cannot be denied, in the world of football there is certainly a lot of room for refreshment and opportunity for young talents. Maybe that's why European clubs choose not to keep senior players like Ronaldo and Messi. Even though Ronaldo and Messi are still very suitable in my opinion to play in Europe, the age and price factors are obstacles for them.

• Then Ronaldo and Messi chose to play casually, while waiting to retire.

In my opinion, this first reason is the most appropriate. The reason is that Ronaldo and Messi have made many achievements in the world of football. So for now making money and playing more casually on the field is likely something they are after.

So for me personally Ronaldo and Messi remain great players today. Because even though they are not currently playing in Europe. But for me, this cannot be used as a benchmark that they are no longer great at playing football.
