Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
 

Im monitoring Neymar's relationship with Al-Hilal with interest but trepidation. We know he's talented, but the injuries and extended recuperation have us wondering how well he'll play again. After investing, Al-Hilal is taking a big risk. Neymar's a star, so I know why they did it, but he must perform well to justify the investment.

I hope Neymar shares Al-Hilal's goals. For the club's harmony, he must fit in with the team's values despite earlier worries about his devotion. Neymar should help Al-Hilal develop a legacy as well as a team. The squad wants him fit and firing, from what I've seen. What matters is how he fits within the team, not simply his talent. While Savic and Mitrovic are wonderful, Neymar's comeback could help Al-Hilal reach their ambitions.

The problems experienced by Benzema Al Ittihad are quite big, because he has a bad relationship with the coach, although actually I don't know for sure, but the news circulating says that. It was different from when he was at Real Madrid, when he was in poor form, but he still had a good relationship with the coach and that meant he still had a place in the main squad. So things like that can help him to find his lost game again.
Meanwhile, now that he is rarely played, it will also hinder him from finding the best form of his game. However, an opportunity is basic for a player to be able to find his best form again. And now Benzema doesn't get any of that. I wonder whether in the end he will leave or stay at Al Ittihad in a situation like this.

I know Benzema wants to go, but of course you never know. His contract in Saudi Arabia has a very high fee. There is no team in Europe that can meet this. Of course, I don't know if the Saudi team wants to loan him and pay his salary. I don't think they will do such a thing. I think Benzema should focus on the league and prepare himself to be the best.

I think management must be present in solving the problems that Benzema is currently facing, because after all it is detrimental for them. They had to bring him in at a high price, but he couldn't be played for certain reasons. In terms of their game, they are actually not bad, although not as expected, but they also have to realize that they are playing as a team, not as individuals, so if the team's overall game is very good then it will affect the individual player.
Maybe the option you said could happen, Benzema will leave on loan. In my opinion, that is better for the club and for Benzema himself. Al Ittihad should focus more on their current game, because their game has not found anything promising for them. Focusing on the team will be better than just thinking about each other's egos.

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.

This was a match in the AFC Champions League. Ronaldo definitely made a big contribution in this match with the single goal that has been scored in this match. But I am pretty sure that there will still be some people who will hate him for some reason even though he is the player who has scored the most amount of goals in this season. This advantage from the first leg is going to be important for them.

Anyway, I am expecting his team to win the next match as well. Right now they are seven points behind the team that is in the first position of the table. I think it is going to be very hard for them to close that gap. But it is definitely still possible.

The SPL side pay huge fee for the Frenchman, he has no rights to complain because he's also earning substantial pay from his end. Al Ittihad have been winning without their new striker, but Benzema's return will make a difference because he is experienced. Karim Benzema has many motives and has attempted to leave the club several times, but to no avail. He is concerned about the recent developments in SPL football. It is extremely different from the European League, where every player is free and can easily achieve their goals.

I thought that Karim Benzema have resolved his differences with the club Al Ittihad before now but it seems the internal issue he had with the club that made him decide to leave is still lingering but if I'm to advice him, I will simply tell him to try and resolve anything that's making him feel uncomfortable at the club so he can stay there in peace and help the club to improve their current performance.

At his current age, I don't think there's any club in Europe that'll want to pay the high amount he's currently receiving at Al Ittihad and again, he's won everything that's requested of a player that's playing club football football in Europe so making a come back to Europe in less than a year he left to join the Saudi Pro League at his current age and form isn't gonna help him achieve anything tangible in football if you ask me.

The reason they play in the Saudi Pro League is at least because they can play more relaxed, meaning, there is no big ambition for a trophy like in the big leagues in Europe . After all, playing in the Saudi Pro League even without winning trophies but ya, the reality is that they will still get high pay . Therefore, I think it would be a wrong choice if Benzema and some other top players who have reached retirement age choose to return to playing in the European league . Because after all,it's not their era to play in the top European leagues anymore, because of course the era has changed and it's time for youngplayers to become stars in Europe before the end in the future they will also play in the Saudi Pro League as well to get high pay in old age.
