At least Neymar has professionalism as a football player and he cannot continue to stay in Brazil just because he is still injured. He was paid very handsomely at Al-Hilal and he had to show that Al-Hilal did not make a mistake in recruiting him. On the other hand, he also has to be close to his teammates and we know that since he first arrived in the Saudi League he has rarely socialized with other players.

I think while he is injured he will still have support from his teammates and that will be very good for his recovery. Regarding his weight gain, it was because in Brazil he had no one to remind him and was too free to hang out with his friends so he forgot that he still had responsibilities at Al-Hilal. During this season it is clear that there has been no real contribution from his big name as a football star and at least before his contract ends he can provide something commensurate to his current team. Especially next season, he will be ready when Al-Hilal needs him and will also take care of his body so he doesn't get injured as often as before.

Al-Hilal wants Neymar for themselves. He's down with injury issues and would definitely come back to work for the team sooner or later. The team has a focus and a target and they're ready to give ith their best shot.Not just Neymar in the team, Al-Hilal is likely to recruit European beats to herself. This is team building, they're about to make a name for themselves. All is for the purpose of expansion and growth.

 No matter how long it'd take, Neymar is 99% likely to have a shot at Al-Hilal. They didn't go into talks with him and his agent without a plan for him. We hope to see him bounce back and do beautifully well for the team. he's no doubt a very good player when he's fully in form and I believe he still got a lot to offer Al-Hilal when he fully recovers.

I'm quite curious whether his mentality is still safe now because since several months ago the bad rumors about him have still not subsided and even though he seems to be active again with individual training, that doesn't reflect Karim Benzema who usually looks very cheerful. He always uploads whatever he likes and even often uploads stories on his Instagram account with his Al-Ittihad colleagues.

Will he return to Al-Ittihad squad, soon we will know about that and it will be opposite ending for his future as well as the club coach future in the club too. In modern football, star players have bigger roles than coaches and if Al-Ittihad prioritize Benzema, they will soon sack their current coach and find a new one who can cooperate better with Benzema.

Speculate his future now and only base on his activities on social media look non sense. It can satisfy our curiosity but accuracy of speculation can not be high and trusted. Soon we will see relationship between Benzema, his coach as well as his career in Saudi Professional League will continue or be broken.

Benzema's current situation is uncertain and there is no definite news about him. As for mentality, I think he can be in a good mentality. The reason is that he also came from a club that had a high mentality before, not only that, he also received inappropriate treatment when he was at Real Madrid. I really remember at that time he was not at his best, and many suporters started criticizing him, even though I thought the criticism was a little excessive. But he was able to get up and show that he deserved to be at Real Madrid.
After he went through everything that happened to him, in his last season with Real Madrid he was one of the players who was really missed by the fans, because his presence was very necessary because he had a big contribution to Real Madrid, especially in the defense line.

Benzema was a player who played an important role in Real Madrid over the years. I expected him to be better after going to the Arabian league, but I think he could have been better, but he showed less than the performance expected from him. I would love to watch him compete for top scorer. We couldn't see him at a high level in the matches he played. However, the name Benzema still causes concern for rivals. He is a football player who has received the best award. I think everything will be solved with a little patience.

Benzema is about to come back and play for Al Ittihad once again. In fact, Benzema was away for weeks and since he joined Al Ittihad he couldn't play in many games for this team and this made the fans of Al Ittihad think Benzema was not useful for them, and instead, this player they could have other options.
In the game against Navbahor Namangan, Benzema was not on the list but it seems he is now ready for the next game to play for Al Ittihad.

SPL are challenging for most of these European players, they lack the qualities to fit in. What happen to Karim Benzema before? He's in good working shape and knows what he have to do inother to redeem hope from the supporters. Al Ittihad is an elite SPL club and they're capable of winning matches without difficulty. They just need the present of their new attacker because he's the only one capable of striving good scores when it comes to goals, you want to know why? Karim Benzema is experienced, he's confident and versatile infront of goals.

Maybe for me Benzema has experienced decline in performance since leaving Real madrid but, Benzema has experienced very deep decline in performance and if he still had pretty good performance he certainly wouldn't have been sold to a Saudi pro league club.
He is no longer young so we have to understand his current condition, but the fans still insist on wanting Benzema to appear stronger, while Benzema can no longer be like he used to be.
In fact, it possible for Benzema to be able to give his best contribution, but all of this seems to require the role of the coach to improve Benzema talent and if Benzema able to appear stronger, Ittihad will definitely be able to immediately get what it wants, but I think it will be achieved in next season.

Benzema has just joined Ittihad, he still needs a lot time to adapt to the playing style of Saud pro league players and we have to be more patient if we want to see Benzema have good career at Ittihad and maybe right now we only see Benzema who looks weak but our future will give him praise.

[Strongkored]

After a break due to the Asian Cup, Saudi Pro League matches will resume. Al Taawon was a team that impressed at the beginning of the season and became one of the strong contenders in the Saudi Pro League but slowly they began to show a decline and it was quite detrimental that made them already out of the title race, today they will face Abha one of the weakest teams this season who is struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
The away team is favored in this match, and seeing how Al Taawon has suffered two consecutive defeats from the last five matches this is a great opportunity for them to be able to return to victory, although the three-point result will not improve their ranking in the standings, but the victory will not be easily obtained by the visitors because Abha although a weak team has the motivation to be able to win three points which will be enough to help them to slowly leave the bottom three.

Neymar has now returned to the Saudi league to continue his treatment because after all Al Hilal is still responsible for the players it recruits, even though Neymar has not made a convincing contribution to Al Hilal. But at least since Neymar joined Al Hilal it has made the Al Hilal club a popular even though Neymar is suffering from a very long injury and it is very likely that for the remainder of this season Neymar will not be able to join the club because he is still recovering from his injury for quite a long time so Al Hilal will have to be a little patient.

Yes, we all hope that after Neymar recovers he will no longer make Al Hilal feel at a disadvantage because Al Hilal has not felt Neymar's contribution at Al Hilal, whether he can perform as good as when he was at PSG and I also hope that Neymar's performance is still the same and Al Hilal feels at an advantage because His recruitment was not in vain, while Neymar himself must be able to give a good performance to the club that bought him at a very expensive price and show the club that he is a good player.

His attitude has been concerned by many people in the past. I hope that if al hilal will able to perform better compared to the last season. Neymar was so stubborn caused by he was participated in the national club while al hilal has been preventing him to do that.
It was costing him probably more than one season caused by this problem. I hope that al hilal will able to have him in the squad again but it may not for the current season. it's caused by neymar is not yet recovering from his injury. Al hilal needs to wait sometimes to bring him back to the squad again./

I hope so but his attitude has been concerned by many parties. Neymar is still performing even better compared to the last season. He has been also making a lot of progress on his injury. It's only matter of time till he will back again to the main squad.
Having savic and mitrovic in the squad were enough to helping the club to lead the competition probably till the end of season, neymar can only get trophy without even playing the game with al hilal  for this.

In the club, there are numerous players from Al Hilal eagerly awaiting his comeback. Things are changing a lot and i hope neymar can have good attitude to respect others.

In the last season, Al Nassr competed for the Saudi Professional League title with Al-Ittihad, not with Al Hilal. In this season, Al Hilal not only compete the title with Al Nassr but also lead the league very far. With 7 points more than Al Nassr, Al Hilal have a safe first position and big chance to win the league.

They bought Neymar to get his contributions on field and for marketing but even without the Brazilian player, they still dominate the league. Missing Neymar by an injury but in return, they have magnificent form from Mitrovic.

I hope so but his attitude has been concerned by many parties. Neymar is still performing even better compared to the last season. He has been also making a lot of progress on his injury. It's only matter of time till he will back again to the main squad.

Neymar at this age, is no longer able to compete with younger and stronger player in speed. He only can use his dribble, vision and passing skills to create differences in a match. He also tries to avoid physical fighting with other players because he is aware of his sensitive and vulnerable body. I am not sure he will play good enough after recovering from the injury. It seems his knees and ankles become weaker with time.

Benzema has not had a very fruitful football career in the Saudi league. I expected him to flourish in the country based on his cultural and religious affiliation but it seems I was very wrong. Unlike Ronaldo, he has been struggling to establish himself in the league and has even scored fewer goals than expected. Injuries and his loggerhead with the coach are some of the factors that have affected his performance, so it is good to hear that he will soon resume fully in the club. I remember that Ronaldo struggled at the onset of his introduction to the SPL, but he kept improving. Maybe the French striker will also find his foot as he spends more time in the league.  

They bought Neymar to get his contributions on field and for marketing but even without the Brazilian player, they still dominate the league. Missing Neymar by an injury but in return, they have magnificent form from Mitrovic.

Al-Hilal brought in Neymar for publicity or to attract more attention to the club and not for his performance on the pitch. I took this stance because the club is aware that he is injury-prone and this has led to the reduction of his quality. I think they should just enjoy the glamour that comes with signing one of the former world's best players. Except the Brazilian finds a permanent solution to his injury woes, the club might get little contribution from him.

Before playing the home match against Al-Fateh this week, Al-Nassr first had to face fellow teams from the Saudi league in the Asian Champions League playoff round against Al-Feiha and the result was a victory for Al-Nassr with a score of 0-1. This was a late win for Al-Nassr and again thanks to a goal scored by Ronaldo who took advantage of an assist from Brozovic to make them win in the first leg.

Ronaldo still hasn't stopped scoring goals and this is Ronaldo's first goal in the Asian Champions League competition. The previous match against Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Cup competition did not make him give up and he immediately got up and gave Al-Nassr victory. I hope Al-Nassr will continue to win the next match and we know the competition with Al-Hilal will continue even though we know it is impossible to displace Al-Hilal from the top of the standings.

Ronaldo made a remarkable impact with a beautiful and crucial goal, securing a late win for Al-Nassr. His performance continues to be unstoppable, making a significant difference at this stage in AFC Champions League matches, which simply solidifying his legacy.
Al-Nassr faced Al-Feiha, who are struggling in the league standings. With Al-Nassr's superiority is fact, the victory was expected, although they only scored a minimum goals. To challenge teams like Al-Hilal, they need to boost their confidence by winning matches with larger goal differences. This will ultimately helps them for tougher competitions ahead.

Making Ronaldo no longer able to score goals as long as he is played by the coach and as long as his teammates continue to provide assists to him, then nothing but Ronaldo is not played.
In the AFC Champions League competition, Ronaldo after his goal gave Al Nassr victory, Ronaldo is likely to be the player who will provide victory in the 2nd leg against Al-Fayha.

7 points feels heavy if Al Nassr is not in the best form in the Pro League. In my opinion, the Pro League is more important for Al Nassr, although the AFC Champions League is also important to achieve success and become champions.

Yes, I also hope that Benzema can be played in the match against Navbahor today in the AFC Champions League. Even though Benzema has not been able to give his best for this club. But he still has a contribution there and many people hope that Benzema can appear on the field. In the AL-ittihad vs Al-Tai match, I was quite disappointed after finding out that Benzema was not played by the Al-ittihad coach because he was deemed not fit. But I think this time Benzema must be able to appear and prove that he still has the qualities that the Al-ittihad club needs.

Good news, we can at least get result from his problem that has already solved. I have been waiting for him to give the clarrification but he was expressed it through his comeback to the club. There are so many people are feeling doubtful with his career in ittihad but they are very wrong about that.
I hope that if the club will able to understand him even better compared to his last game with ittihad, benzema needs to give his best and i think that the club shall not use him as a consultant. Benzema has a job to be a striker and that's his job.
It was so stupid in making him to be a consultant to run the club. Ittihad needs to have better management. This will be helping the club a lot. I hope that benzema will able to build chemistry with the club again.
This is obviously another great news for any of ittihad fans caused by they were hearing him back again to the squad. It gives positive vibe for the club caused by ittihad was missing its best striker. This is also breaking all of bad news related to him.
Benzema is still staying at al ittihad till the end of season. I hope he will not get same problem again in the future.

In the game against Navbahor Namangan, Benzema was not on the list but it seems he is now ready for the next game to play for Al Ittihad.

Al-Ittihad fans expected too much on Benzema because he won Ballon d'Or and Champions League three seasons ago. Benzema did not have many appearances for the club but his scoring rate is not too bad.

Again let's say if he did not win Ballon d'Or recent seasons, people would have less expectation on Benzema. He did not play well as expected but not too bad if compares to other players in Saudi Professional League.

The news is good for Al-Ittihad to have a biggest star player back in their squad but I am still very doubtful that they will achieve high rank in the league. It seems too late for them to rank up and get either a third or fourth position.

[wiss19]

The fact that players do not want to be there unless they have to, even when they are getting paid, shows what players think of that league. Benzema didn't want to be there, had something else to deal with and went away, Neymar got injured and wasn't even around until recently, wanted his surgery and so forth done somewhere else, he came back afterwards just to make sure that he gets all he wants there. All in all, it's clear that we are seeing a league that is not getting love from players.

There are players who reject them even when offered a lot of money, and there are players who reject them even when they are getting paid and just tries to run away. There are also some very happy ones as well, so maybe they should focus on those.

7 points feels heavy if Al Nassr is not in the best form in the Pro League. In my opinion, the Pro League is more important for Al Nassr, although the AFC Champions League is also important to achieve success and become champions.

However, if Al-Nassr fails to win the Saudi League title this season, at least they can focus on the Asian Champions League title, which is still an open opportunity. I feel that there is almost no hope for Al-Nassr to be able to catch up with the difference in points from Al-Hilal and therefore, in the current difficult situation, they will inevitably have to focus on competitions that they can win with a greater percentage.

But talking about the Asian Champions League will not be easy because they will still face other strong opponents from other parts of Asia. And the other possibility of meeting Al-Hilal in the Asian Champions League round will also further dash Al-Nassr's hopes of winning the title because we know Al-Hilal is still quite reliable as Al-Nassr's counter in this competition. So this season is quite complicated for Al-Nassr and it will be a bad season for Ronaldo because he still cannot present a major title for Al-Nassr.

After a break due to the Asian Cup, Saudi Pro League matches will resume. Al Taawon was a team that impressed at the beginning of the season and became one of the strong contenders in the Saudi Pro League but slowly they began to show a decline and it was quite detrimental that made them already out of the title race, today they will face Abha one of the weakest teams this season who is struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
The away team is favored in this match, and seeing how Al Taawon has suffered two consecutive defeats from the last five matches this is a great opportunity for them to be able to return to victory, although the three-point result will not improve their ranking in the standings, but the victory will not be easily obtained by the visitors because Abha although a weak team has the motivation to be able to win three points which will be enough to help them to slowly leave the bottom three.

since the beginning of the season Abha was only able to pocket 4 wins and 2 draws and the rest lost all.
this a sign that Al Taawon still able to get the advantage of stealing 3 points from Abha because Abha current condition really in the bottom of the standings with a very bad performance even though H2H Abha can hold a draw and also defeated Al Taawon but the condition already in a different this season Al Taawon becomes stronger even as a guest in the match but surely Al Taawon will at least score 1 score or even more.

IMO, betting for Abha score can also benefit because as a host I believe that Abha will at least try to score 1 score and bet Abha over 0.5 score with odds @1.42 very profitable.

Neymar has now returned to the Saudi league to continue his treatment because after all Al Hilal is still responsible for the players it recruits, even though Neymar has not made a convincing contribution to Al Hilal. But at least since Neymar joined Al Hilal it has made the Al Hilal club a popular even though Neymar is suffering from a very long injury and it is very likely that for the remainder of this season Neymar will not be able to join the club because he is still recovering from his injury for quite a long time so Al Hilal will have to be a little patient.

Yes, we all hope that after Neymar recovers he will no longer make Al Hilal feel at a disadvantage because Al Hilal has not felt Neymar's contribution at Al Hilal, whether he can perform as good as when he was at PSG and I also hope that Neymar's performance is still the same and Al Hilal feels at an advantage because His recruitment was not in vain, while Neymar himself must be able to give a good performance to the club that bought him at a very expensive price and show the club that he is a good player.

Al-Hilal wanted Neymar for themselves. Even when he was down with injury issues, still he definitely came back to work for the team. The team has a focus and a target and they're ready to give it their best shot. Not just Neymar in the team, Al-Hilal is likely to recruit European beats to herself. This is team building, they're about to make a name for themselves. All is for the purpose of expansion and growth.

 No matter how long it took, Neymar was 99% likely to have a shot at Al-Hilal. They didn't go into talks with him and his agent without a plan for him. We hope to see him bounce back and do beautifully well for the team. Well Neymar might not be able to perform as good as his youthful period but he still got a lot of experience he could impact to the team on and off the field, we all know he's an influential player and that's one thing Al-Hilal would also benefit from his presence in their team.

Yes, I also hope that Benzema can be played in the match against Navbahor today in the AFC Champions League. Even though Benzema has not been able to give his best for this club. But he still has a contribution there and many people hope that Benzema can appear on the field. In the AL-ittihad vs Al-Tai match, I was quite disappointed after finding out that Benzema was not played by the Al-ittihad coach because he was deemed not fit. But I think this time Benzema must be able to appear and prove that he still has the qualities that the Al-ittihad club needs.

Unfortunately, our hope of seeing Benzema play in the AFC Champions League against Navbahor right now did not happen. Although Benzema still has a contribution at there Ittihad, but Benzema always doesn't get along with the Ittihad coach, I mean there is no good chemistry between players and coaches. Moreover, also Benzema has missed a lot of matches recently. The current situation is not very good for Benzema, I heard there is recent news he wants return to Europa.
