Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[klidex]

The victory achieved by Al Ittihad was an extraordinary victory, why not? because Al Taee was defeated at home by the Al Ittihad Team with a landslide victory of 3-0 without any reply. In my opinion, Al Ittihad played very well and neatly because in the first half alone they were able to score 2 goals without reply and with this victory of course the Al Ittihad players took advantage of their more aggressive attitude and put pressure on the Al Taee squad. defense. However, unlike the Al Taee players, Al Ittihad scored 2 goals in the first half, making the Al Taee players' performance decline and they lacked confidence so they were unable to score a goal back for Al Ittihad in the first half.

Yes, I also thought about why Karim Banzema was not used or was on the bench, whether he was training specifically to support Al Ittihad in the next match. It could be that this is coach Gallardo's plan or strategy not to play Karim Benzema.

Al-Ittihad are back to winning ways and you could see that they play better than before. The whole team took this match very seriously and maintained utmost pressure in the Al Taee defense. Yes this pressure made the Al Taee players lose balance while on the pitch especially after they were 2-0 down. One noticeable absentee was Benzema and we thought that could be the coach tactics to probably bring this hunger from his young team

 Yes and that tactics has worked as we can see how demanding the Al-Ittihad players were and how they applied necessary amount of pressure to get the win and it was  deserved. This win will be a big boost for them while going forward I believe, they need it so bad to boost them in the standings.

In this opening match, Ittihad really showed its best performance so as not to experience defeat or a draw when playing at home because in the last few matches, Ittihad was not in good condition due to consecutive defeats, but in this match, Ittihad really performed. maximum. impressively so they were able to beat Al Taee and didn't give Al Taee a chance to break through Ittihad's defense and Ittihad really defended its defense well this time and was able to keep a clean sheet.

Karim Benzema was not included on the field because the coach was able to assess and had provided good tactics. Ittihad could definitely put a lot of pressure on Al Taee as the host because the club's condition was also not good because it had suffered consecutive defeats in the last few matches, so that was the case. will be Ittihad opportunity. Moreover, Ittihad was already ahead in the first half so Karim Benzema did not needed to be put on the field because everyone believe Ittihad could beat Al Taee.

Al Hilal vs Al Nassr.

This match was finally held and was won by Al Hilal again, both teams played with full squads, only Mane was played as a reserve player in this match. During the match, Al Hilal took a quick lead in the 17th minute with a goal scored by Segej Millinkovic-Savic. In the 30th minute, Al Hilal increased its lead to 2-0, a goal scored by Salem Al Dawsari. until the match was over, neither team had scored a goal, either increasing their advantage or reducing their position.
in this match, Ronaldo's performance was not very good and he was not even able to score a goal. apart from that, wing defender Al Nassr underperformed.
Meanwhile for Al Hilal, only Michel had a bad performance. but overall, the Al Hilal players played as they should.

Technically, Al Nassr is superior in several aspects. Likewise in terms of opportunities. but unfortunately, of the 14 total shots, only 2 shots were on target, 3 were big opportunities. In contrast, Al Hilal only had 10 total shots, 6 shots on target, 2 big chances, and two opportunities that they converted into goals. in the end, Al Hilal won this match. plus, they continued their unbeaten streak so far. As for Al Nassr, whether this is a friendly match or not. What is certain is that in the 2024 Riyadh Season Cup, Al Nassr will lose to Al Hilal.

Al-Hilal in that match still proved that they are still the strongest this season. Although Al-Nassr was indeed able to create more attacks and pressure but unfortunately Al-Nassr's completion was not so good. C.Ronaldo who just recovered from injury also did not look as aggressive as usual. And actually by looking at this match alone has provided a clear picture for us that Al-hilal is likely to lift the trophy in the SPL this season. Al-Nassr although much better than other teams but still cannot be better than Al-Hilal. While Al-Ittihad, who won last season, seems to have fallen far behind and it seems impossible for them to catch up with Al-hilal who has not been defeated until now in the SPL.

It was a fantastic match. Both teams played well, but Al-Hilal has been consistent since the start of the season. So, it's not surprising that they defeated Al-Nassr 2-0 in the Riyadh Season Cup final. They seem to always come out on top, no matter the circumstances. It would be nice to see some changes in the outcome sometimes. yeah Ronaldo is just recovering from injury, so I have faith in him. He has the ability to make a comeback on his own, just like he did in the Arab World Cup Final.

Finally, Al-Hilal has taken revenge from Al-Nassr in the Arab Champions final by winning the Riyadh Cup trophy and of course Al-Hilal is still the main enemy for Al-Nassr this season. I think Al-Hilal has a much more dangerous attack than Al-Nassr and as a result Al-Hilal could not respond to two goals in this match. Ronaldo, who has just recovered from injury, will definitely have difficulties and it is normal for him to perform poorly.

It is really difficult to overcome Al-Hilal's consistent performance and I think there is no chance for Al-Nassr to win the Saudi league title this season if they are not able to beat Al-Nassr. The difference in mentality is clearly visible from several elite Saudi league teams and we don't think Al-Hilal will be able to be caught by any team this season. Maybe for Al-Ittihad they must first fix all the previous problems so that next season they can compete again.

Al Hilal 2-0  Al Nassr

It's very difficult to manage a team like Al Nassr which, in my opinion, has players with no motivation to play well, they kept wasting chances to score a goal, they kept missing passes, Ronaldo couldn't dribble and lost the ball that looked like it was some amateur player or I had no interest in scoring a goal, when it was in Al Nassr's defense things only got worse, with Al Nassr's goalkeeper doing a lot of stupid things, in my opinion he was mainly responsible for this defeat, looking at this photo:



clearly realized that the position of Al Nassr's goalkeeper was inappropriate, my question is why the hell wasn't he in his proper position? It looks like the Al Nassr goalkeeper was deliberately trying to score a goal, because I can't believe that this was a mistake, he saw that the defenders were putting pressure on the Al Hilal players, so the Al Hilal player wouldn't be able to run more with the ball without losing the ball, so why the hell did he come out so far from the goal?

It will be better if the Al Nassr coach doesn't keep putting this goalkeeper because there will be defeats, of course it's not just their goalkeeper who was to blame for this defeat. but in my opinion he was the main one. then we have to look at the coach, I see that Al Nassr's biggest problem lies with the coaches who worked for Al Nassr who are not managing to deal well with the team and have not made good hires. Take this game for example, the coach knew very well that despite it being a friendly game he was playing against the best team in the league and he needed to put his best squad to win the game because that would boost the morale of the players, but he chose to put healthy mane on the bench and went to play with the same formation used by the opponent, what the hell did the Al Nassr coach intend?

[Toro iskandar]

Benzema was not allowed to train with other players in Al-Ittihad and he still had to do physical exercises with players who are in recovery process after injuries. The conflict between Benzema and his coach Gallardo still exists and has yet been resolved.

The drama continues with latest actions from both Benzema and Gallardo and will rumor that Benzema move to Al Nassr become true?

No official talk between two clubs about the transfer but rumor is already around. Benzema will feel interesting to become team mate of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mane and Brozovic. He will have to continue this season in Saudi Arabia before finding a club in Europe next season.

If the conflict between Karim Benzema and his coach Gallardo does not resolve and there is no clarity or bright spot, it is very likely that Karim Benzema will soon move clubs from Al Ittihad to Al Nasr and follow his colleague Cristiano Ronaldo. If this news really happens then I think Al Nasr will become a very strong team in Saudi Arabia because many reliable players have joined the club.

I think the reason Benzema is only sitting on the bench is because he violated club rules when he was not present at training and as punishment he will be loaned to a European club and until now there has been no confirmation which European club would accept Benzema even though his performance has really declined. .
I was not surprised to see Ittihad easily beat Al-Ta'e because the club was in a very bad condition while Ittihad still had pretty good players and in terms of performance Ittihad was far superior.
With the 3-0 result, Ittihad is very confident that it can strengthen its performance again in the upcoming match.

It could also be because of his actions, he made a mistake during training. Karim Benzema was not shown playing on the pitch but only as a substitute and that's not all. Recently, Karim Banzema's performance while at Al Ittihad was very bad and this was a disaster for Al Ittihad because the team of course dared to recruit Banzema with a very large salary, but what was expected was the opposite or less satisfactory.
Yes, even though Banzema has not made a good contribution so far, Al Ittihad is a very superior and strong team so it was easy for them to win the title against Al Taee yesterday with a score of 3-0.

[Gallar]

Since news emerged that Benzema would leave Al Ittihad, at that time I thought the news was definitely not true. Then in the end my assessment turned out to be correct. The reason is that in one of the news media, Benzema once said that all this news was just lies. So after I read the news, I became even more convinced that Benzema would definitely stay at Al Ittihad. Although from the start of the season until now Benzema's performance at Al Ittihad has not been optimal. But that doesn't mean Benzema will just give up and move to another club. Therefore, Benzema will definitely fight hard to be able to show his best performance at Al Ittihad for the remainder of this season.

So when saw that Benzema had returned to training with his teammates at Al Ittihad, all the fake news had been clearly proven to be lies. Therefore, now Al Ittihad fans and also Benzema fans are definitely more relieved by this. Even though in the Al Ittihad versus Al Tae match, Benzema has not yet played. But I'm sure that in the next match, Benzema will definitely play again. Because in the next match Al Ittihad will compete in the Asian Champions League (ACL) against Navbahor. So in this match Benzema's abilities will definitely be needed, therefore it is very likely that Benzema will return as the main starter for Al Ittihad.

The switch to any club in some situations is a decision to be made by the player. Benzema has had quite an eventful time with Real Madrid. He impacted the team in his own special level of performance. Definitely he's got to get for himself widespread experience. And I believe a move away from the Saudi side by summer is still very possible, maybe to a club in the EPL or other European leagues.

 In this case, he's got to consider a number of factors and they are technically a determinant of how effective their new move decision would be for them. An EPL club move won't be a bad option for Benzema to pick even though the league is very much competitive, adding that he's advancing gradually in age and so he's got a few impacts that he can make before retirement. But his experience would add alot to any club he decides next.

Anything can happen in the world of football, including the transfer of players like Benzema. However, in my opinion, for now Benzema will definitely stay with Al Ittihad first. The reason is, his contract with Al Ittihad is still quite long, namely until 2026. So with his current condition, I think Benzema will definitely choose to stay at Al Ittihad. The reason is, even though all football fans or observers already know what Benzema's performance is actually like at Real Madrid, currently Benzema has not shown that performance. Maybe age is the main factor that most influences his performance condition. So basically, with the performance he is currently showing, it might be a little difficult to get a place at European clubs such as Laliga, EPL, Serie A or Bundesliga. Because as you said, competition in the European leagues is very tight. So, if for example Benzema returns to play in Europe and his performance is not good, it is very likely that Benzema will be isolated.

So, currently the important point that Benzema must improve is his performance at Al Ittihad. Because if, for example, his performance is extraordinary or very good at Al Ittihad, there is a big possibility that his potential to be able to play and compete in Europe will definitely be great again.
Apart from that, I think changing clubs quickly is not Benzema's habit. Because at Real Madrid he was able to last a very long time, namely 14 years. So if after this Benzema's condition and performance gradually improves, maybe he will try to play longer for Al Ittihad, maybe until he wins 1 or 2 trophies, or even until his contract ends. But if, for example, this summer, Benzema decides to change clubs, it means that AL Ittihad is only being used as a stepping stone.

[tusandii]

Al-Hilal in that match still proved that they are still the strongest this season. Although Al-Nassr was indeed able to create more attacks and pressure but unfortunately Al-Nassr's completion was not so good. C.Ronaldo who just recovered from injury also did not look as aggressive as usual. And actually by looking at this match alone has provided a clear picture for us that Al-hilal is likely to lift the trophy in the SPL this season. Al-Nassr although much better than other teams but still cannot be better than Al-Hilal. While Al-Ittihad, who won last season, seems to have fallen far behind and it seems impossible for them to catch up with Al-hilal who has not been defeated until now in the SPL.

Finally, Al-Hilal has taken revenge from Al-Nassr in the Arab Champions final by winning the Riyadh Cup trophy and of course Al-Hilal is still the main enemy for Al-Nassr this season. I think Al-Hilal has a much more dangerous attack than Al-Nassr and as a result Al-Hilal could not respond to two goals in this match. Ronaldo, who has just recovered from injury, will definitely have difficulties and it is normal for him to perform poorly.

It is really difficult to overcome Al-Hilal's consistent performance and I think there is no chance for Al-Nassr to win the Saudi league title this season if they are not able to beat Al-Nassr. The difference in mentality is clearly visible from several elite Saudi league teams and we don't think Al-Hilal will be able to be caught by any team this season. Maybe for Al-Ittihad they must first fix all the previous problems so that next season they can compete again.

One of the most dangerous is Al Hilal's attacking players when they attack very quickly and always hit the target.
The factors that make it very difficult for Al Nassr to beat Al Hilal are that even all the clubs in the Saudi pro league are unable to beat Al Hilal, which currently has very dangerous attacking players and a very strong defensive line.
Al Nassr has Ronaldo but the cooperation of the players is not like Al Hilal and the comparison is quite easy from Al Nassr's very poor defense.

Since the beginning, Al Hilal's music has seemed to have a good target for this season, even though without star players like Al Nassr and only relying on Mitrovic, it has been very frightening for Al Hilal attackers and sometimes we definitely don't think that Al Hilal would be this strong without star players and could become a club which very invincible and I admit that Al Nassr is not strong enough to compete with Al Hilal because in terms of club cooperation it still very far away but at least Al Nassr getting 2nd place quite safe and I think Al Nassr will take revenge to win the title the next season because this season it very impossible for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hilal.

 Well Al-Hilal has proved that they're really serious this season, this is the 2nd time they're defeating Al-Nassr after they lost a cup to them. Al-Nassr shouldn't take this defeat likely even though it's just a friendly game, it shows that their are still some loopholes in the team to be amended. Yes they might be resting some players or saying their strength for important fixtures ahead but then loosing 2-0 to their toughest rivals is still something to worry about.

Al Nassr also showed that they were serious about their rivalry with Al Hilal, but they were unable to defeat Al Hilal in a way and effort that could convince their supporters so I say that the defeat experienced by Al Nassr had a real impact on Al Hilal and Al Nassr in particular, even though it was only just a friendly match.

The impact that is most in the spotlight if we really observe it is Ronaldo. Ronaldo appeared in the starting XI when Al Hilal beat Al Nassr. When Al Nassr won against Inter Miami, he just sat in the VVIP seats watching Talisca become the star of the victory at that time.
When Al Nassr lost against Al Hilal, the public would compare Al Hilal who managed to beat Al Nassr without their superstar, Neymar.

[8rch7]

Benzema's relationship with the coach seems no longer healthy for the team, even if Benzeman stays and plays, his performance will certainly not be optimal. Now, with the dispute still ongoing, Benzema is receiving additional training from the coach. Gallardo asked Benzema to continue to train extra in the gym to find his physical condition before he can join the other players.

With tensions continuing to rise like this, a move might be a solution for Benzema and the team. However, so far it is not known for certain which team Benzema will go to. However, I also agree with the rumors circulating that Al Nassr is interested in Benzema because it would be very nice for me as a Real Madrid fan to see former Real Madrid players playing in the same team again.

Regarding current Al Ittihad social media publishing with Karim Benzema had return to the club and join training, its seems answer all bad relationship Karim Benzema and Al Ittihad manager Gallardo. Its good new for Al Ittihad after having many rumor linked with Karim Benzema will leave Al Ittihad and get offering from Premier League team Arsenal until Lyon are interested for signing Karim Benzema.
After returning to the teams seems not any tensions between Karim Benzema and Al Ittihad management, he had acceptable consequence by getting additional training in the gym and last update from Al Ittihad's social media Karim Benzema looks more muscular with his physical condition.

Al Ittihad has AFC Champion League match on next Tuesday will Karim Benzema get back his regular position and playing in the first minutes after having bad relationship with Gallardo?

Al Hilal 2-0  Al Nassr

It's very difficult to manage a team like Al Nassr which, in my opinion, has players with no motivation to play well, they kept wasting chances to score a goal, they kept missing passes, Ronaldo couldn't dribble and lost the ball that looked like it was some amateur player or I had no interest in scoring a goal, when it was in Al Nassr's defense things only got worse, with Al Nassr's goalkeeper doing a lot of stupid things

Generally Al Hilal are stronger than Al Nassr and they shown it in Saudi Professional League to Riyadh Season Cup. This defeat signals that Al Nassr will struggle a lot to catch Al Hilal in Saudi Professional League. They are behind Al Hilal with big point difference and they even are likely unable to beat Al Hilal in their second direct match in Saudi Professional League.

By being weaker, their players are more sensitive to make personal mistake than Al Hilal. At this level of two direct competitors, any mistake will have to pay expensive cost.

I am not surprised by the results of the Al Hilal v Al Nassr match, but I am surprised why many of they consider the results of this match to be like an official match. Because in reality, they were only playing a friendly match and of course, any result in a friendly match like this was not an important result for them. Although indeed, friendly matches will also be a means for teams to try several different strategies and tactics . But still, match results in friendly matches have no impact on their performance in official matches such as in the Saudi Pro League and other domestic competitions. So yes, I personally don't care about Al Nassr's defeat in this match because it's possible that Al Nassr also didn't play optimally and therefore, the result that occurred remained an ordinary result because it didn't have any impact.

al nassr's defense is very weak, this is the only weakness that al nassr currently has, just look at how al hilal's front line looks when they attack, immediately al nassr's back line looks confused, apart from that al hilal plays a lot of high balls which at the moment is still not yet controlled by the al nassr back line.  al hilal is the strongest team in the SPL at the moment, it is almost impossible to beat them, I applaud how pinheiro succeeded in building this team.

The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al-Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray.

Al-Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al-Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism. It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited.

Yes the defense they have is one of their weaknesses now. They do have a good attack line, but still if their defense is weak it will also make them difficult, especially when facing a strong club like Al Hilal. Al Hilal is a great example of a club, they have a very strong defense, they also have a good attack line.
Al Nassr is still very difficult to compete closely with Al Hilal. The meeting between the two should have been an opportunity for Al Nassr to get closer to them, but what happened was that they still lost when they faced Al Hilal this season. With results like that, it is clear that Al Hilal will have more freedom to become champions this season.

[fullhdpixel]

Technically, Al Nassr is superior in several aspects. Likewise in terms of opportunities. but unfortunately, of the 14 total shots, only 2 shots were on target, 3 were big opportunities. In contrast, Al Hilal only had 10 total shots, 6 shots on target, 2 big chances, and two opportunities that they converted into goals. in the end, Al Hilal won this match. plus, they continued their unbeaten streak so far. As for Al Nassr, whether this is a friendly match or not. What is certain is that in the 2024 Riyadh Season Cup, Al Nassr will lose to Al Hilal.

At least Al Nassr was humiliating Inter Miami for scored 6 goals without a concede, so it's already over to say Messi is a GOAT or Messi is better than Ronaldo.

I would say if he goes to Al-Nassr, I think they could play both strikers if they want to, not that he will join and I am not saying this because he is going to be there. I am just saying, in a situation IF that happens then it would be fine, they can play with two strikers, it has happened in football before lol.

However, if he goes to Lyon, then it all depends on how much he will provide, right now Lyon looks like they are recovering, just recently beat Marseille at the cup, and they are out of the zone right now, I feel like they are actually doing better right now. To say that Benzema should go there to "save" them would mean that they are doing bad and Benzema would help, but with them getting better, and Benzema not being good in the last two years, not sure if he would be that much of a help.

One of the things that has made Al Hilal able to appear with a positive trend so far, is not just because of their strikers. however, teamwork is strengthened by players who are ideal in their respective positions. Al Hilal has a very competitive composition of players in their respective positions, each line is strengthened by competent players. both from the defense line, midfield and front line players. these players have a strong bond, plus a coach who is suitable to handle Al Hilal. in the end, this team became very solid as far as they played match after match. even though Al Nassr actually has a much more competitive player depth, based on team performance, Al Hilal is much more solid.

On the other hand, Al Nassr does not mean they are below the level of Al Hilal. however, it seems that this season is currently on Al Hilal's side. in fact, Al Nassr has very competitive players, but the performance of Luis Casto's team has experienced ups and downs. in the end, Al Nassr was 7 points behind in the Saudi Pro League. while in the Riyadh Cup, Al Nassr lost with a score of 2-0. even then, the goals were scored by midfielder and winger Al Hilal. Meanwhile, Mitrovic did not contribute a goal in this match. On the other hand, Ronaldo also underperformed. If Al Hilal fails to win the League again this season, it is very likely that Luis Castro will only manage Al Nassr for only one season.

With Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, they don't have the energy to withstand Al Hilal stellar performance? Its weigh out of track. Al Hilal has made no changes since the beginning of the season. They've been busily hammering their opponents without encountering any severe opponents. The only team that may have made life difficult for Al Hilal is considered a non-threat because Al Nassr effortlessly enables goals against Al Hilal in both friendlies and SPL games. The Knights of Najd must improve themselves if they want to remain competitive for the SPL trophy this season.

If the conflict between Karim Benzema and his coach Gallardo does not resolve and there is no clarity or bright spot, it is very likely that Karim Benzema will soon move clubs from Al Ittihad to Al Nasr and follow his colleague Cristiano Ronaldo. If this news really happens then I think Al Nasr will become a very strong team in Saudi Arabia because many reliable players have joined the club.

Players without a good coach can't win the game but a good coach with average players can win the game, Mourinho is the one who proved that. I think that Saudi Arabia has to invest in coaches and trainers who will use resources wisely and not lose a team's potential. They are getting marketing by acquiring top players like Cristiano and Benzema but besides good marketing, they need good teamplay to not waste the positive result of their marketing.

Btw I didn't see this mentioned in this thread but guys, what do you think about Cristiano Ronaldo's actions after the loss? He put a fan's scarf in his pants and threw it away. As far as I know, Saudi people are traditional and conservative. I wonder how they will react to this accident.

The meeting between the two should have been an opportunity for Al Nassr to get closer to them, but what happened was that they still lost when they faced Al Hilal this season. With results like that, it is clear that Al Hilal will have more freedom to become champions this season.

Once again, Al Nassr tried to stand against Al Hilal but as I was expecting to see they failed and Al Nassr lost the game with a 2-1 result while they had much better players like Ronaldo, Al Nassr was about to decrease the gap between themselves and Al Hilal. I'm sure this is a lot for a player like Ronaldo to lose these games and he surely came to Saudi Arabia to win the title in this league and he doesn't want to lose it to a team like Al Hilal at all.

One of the most dangerous is Al Hilal's attacking players when they attack very quickly and always hit the target.
The factors that make it very difficult for Al Nassr to beat Al Hilal are that even all the clubs in the Saudi pro league are unable to beat Al Hilal, which currently has very dangerous attacking players and a very strong defensive line.
Al Nassr has Ronaldo but the cooperation of the players is not like Al Hilal and the comparison is quite easy from Al Nassr's very poor defense.

With Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, they don't have the energy to withstand Al Hilal stellar performance? Its weigh out of track. Al Hilal has made no changes since the beginning of the season. They've been busily hammering their opponents without encountering any severe opponents. The only team that may have made life difficult for Al Hilal is considered a non-threat because Al Nassr effortlessly enables goals against Al Hilal in both friendlies and SPL games. The Knights of Najd must improve themselves if they want to remain competitive for the SPL trophy this season.

This is the second time that Al Hilal have played against Al Nassr this season and in the two matches, they outplayed Al Nassr like they a team that's not in any way strong to compete with them and if you ask me, Al Nassr must go back to the drawing board and see how they can find a way to stop Al Hilal from totally outplaying them in the future if they really want to win a trophy in Saudi Arabia ahead of Al Hilal.
I watched the game and how Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help his team defeat their biggest rivals in the country. Ronaldo's facial expressions at final whistle says more of his disappointment with the result but that then can the five times Balon D'or winner do.
