Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Zanab247]

Anyone here think we can see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Saudi League at any time? Im refering like going to MLS or something like that?

Because we know him very well and aside of his personal marks he wants to win tournaments and seems like in this Al Nasrr is not gonna happen.

Since cristiano Ronaldo still have more years to spend in his football career and, he has displayed some wonders results in the Saudi Arabia league competition for the whole world to know that there is no place cristiano Ronaldo cannot perform his duty in the football competition.

I know that cristiano Ronaldo will leave Saudi Arabia league once he succeed to help the team to win this trophy, so that he can add it to his record among the things he has achieve from his football career.

Since cristiano Ronaldo still have more years to spend in his football career and, he has displayed some wonders results in the Saudi Arabia league competition for the whole world to know that there is no place cristiano Ronaldo cannot perform his duty in the football competition.

His presence in the league is really something to talk to about because since his arrival the league has elevated to some extent. Things would have been easy for him if he was signed to Al Hilal but he is still lucky to have a team like Al Nassr they are not the best but they are trying their best and it is not easy to be the 2nd best in the league. It will be so unfortunate to see them fail to win a trophy this season because they have performed well to some extent and deserves a trophy to their name even if they fail to win a trophy this season i believe Ronaldo will not leave until he finally helps them win a trophy be it this season, next season or the one after. He would do all in his power to make that happen.

He would do all in his power to make that happen.

A single player can not change a whole team and Cristiano Ronaldo can not help Al-Nassr win all matches. To win matches and win titles, Al-Nassr need to have a strong squad that needs to be strong in both sides, attacking and defense.

They surely have strong attacking side with Ronaldo, Mane, Talisca and some good midfielders like Brozovic, Otavio but in defense side, they are not strong. It is their biggest weakness, Achilles that cost them many defeats. This season is useless for Al-Nassr as they can not win titles in Saudi Professional League and AFC Champions League but it is helpful for them to realize their weakness.

If they can improve their weakness in next summer transfer, they will become stronger next season and can win titles. They need big changes in their defense side to be stronger and we will see what they will do in the summer.

[Gallar]

Currently Ronaldo is the top scorer in Saudi Pro League, he scored 22 goals while Mitrovic is behind 2 goals from him. But Al Hilal is a solid team, so any player can score a goal without Mitrovic. While in Al Nassr, all players depend on Ronaldo to score a goal, this is why I think Ronaldo will become the top scorer even though they didn't become a champion, because Ronaldo is better in individual skill.

Although the league is still long, but it's hard to imagine Al Nassr can become a champion, they have higher chance in AFC Champions League.

This is what differentiates Al Nasr and Al Hilal in terms of players. Al Hilal's players all have almost the same qualities, so that when playing a match, Al Hilal can attack from all sides or defend with a strong formation. That way, Al Hilal became unbeatable in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL). This is different from Al Nasr, whose players can be said to be less evenly distributed in terms of quality. Because as you said, Al Nasr only relies on Ronaldo to score goals. So when Ronaldo is not playing or for example Ronaldo is not performing well, then Al Nasr will certainly have difficulty scoring goals. Maybe Talisca can be relied on a little when Ronaldo can't play. But still Talisca is different from Ronaldo so the results are not like Ronaldo.

Apart from that, actually all of this happened because of Al Nasr's own fault. The reason is that in the last transfer market, Al Nasr only focused on buying forward players. As a result, Al Nasr's defense is very weak, and tends to always be passed by opposing players, even though the opponent can be said to be weak. So basically the squad that Al Nasr currently has is unbalanced. Maybe in the next transfer market, Al Nasr will have to buy a very strong defender.

Apart from that, in last night's match, Al Nasr had to accept defeat from Al Ain on penalties, because the aggregate of both teams was the same (4-4). In this way, Al Nasr failed to advance to the next round of the Asian Champions League. In that match, Ronaldo was only able to score 1 goal, and that too through a penalty kick. So from here I am increasingly convinced that Al Nasr really needs to be repaired. Because if not, Al Nasr will definitely continue to be stepped over by other teams (in the SPL or in the ACL).

[PokerBetting]

al nasr with his ronaldo was eliminated from the AFC champions cup. lost to al ain a club from the uni emirates of arabia. lost on penalties and what was sad for ronaldo fans in the penalty shootout only ronaldo was able to score for al nasr.

Since cristiano Ronaldo still have more years to spend in his football career and, he has displayed some wonders results in the Saudi Arabia league competition for the whole world to know that there is no place cristiano Ronaldo cannot perform his duty in the football competition.

Ronaldo talked to al Nassr to extend his contract with the club until he retires but al nassr still gave no response regarding this. The main issue was that Al Nassr did not even respond to Ronaldo's statement about whether the club would be willing to offer him a new contract but ronaldo hopes he can get a new contract to stay in al nassr much longer. Things are getting even more complicated for him because al Nassr will not receive a trophy this season caused by its unable to catch up with al hilal and it may also make al nassr to reconsider ronaldo's offer.  We know he was the one who make it becomes big and this is my main concern for this time. The main mission of al nassr recruit ronaldo to improve the name of saudi pro league.

Ronaldo performance is amazing but his club is unlikely to win the next trophy in the near future caused by al hilal is the biggest obstacle that will never able to be surpassed by the club. Al Nassr is entirely dependent on him to attack its opponents and this is the main problem that shall be solved asap. Ronaldo could not perform good when played for Manchester United coached by ten hag and this is the fact.
His performance has improved since Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr but it is not straight with other players in the club which was still performing so average. There are still many unresolved issues in al Nassr. The club needs to sort it all as soon as possible.

I know that cristiano Ronaldo will leave Saudi Arabia league once he succeed to help the team to win this trophy, so that he can add it to his record among the things he has achieve from his football career.

Ronaldo will not leave the Suadi professional league. He plans to retire from football after playing in this league and he has said that in the past. Better to stay up to date on the latest developments on him. Ronaldo has repeatedly stated that he wants to extend his contract with al nassr club. He was unwilling to go to another club.
I believe many people are aware of Ronaldo's efforts to improve the situation for the club and he tried to do that many times.

Despite Neymar's absence, Al Hilal's unbeaten streak remains outstanding. It shows you dont necessarily need star power to shine, right? While they've kept winning, Neymar's absence highlights the need for savvy signings. Why not find people that are huge game players as well as famous names? Fit-in players who contribute consistently and may help the Saudi Pro League become more competitive. Al Hilal can set an example by showing that success is developed piece by piece with local and international talent. This could be their chance to start a new league trend by focusing on sustainable success without relying on one or two big stars.

Al Hilal's unbeaten record continues to this day and this is all thanks to the hard work of the players who have contributed greatly at this time, especially Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored many goals, making Al Hilal appear strong to this day and this was all done not because of Neymar's interference because Neymar been absent for a long time and only played 3 matches this season so Al Hilal's current strong performance is not entirely due to this star player. However, because of Neymar's absence, Al Hilal continues to be in the spotlight for how they do this even without this star player because basically Al Hilal is a strong club in the Saudi League even without Neymar.

Why is Al Hilal must recruiting new players or looking for smart players? right now they have become a strong club in the Saudi Pro League, I think for now Al Hilal doesn't need that to continue competing if they are able to maintain their performance then their performance will remain strong in competing with other rivals. I know that Al Hilal's goal in recruiting Neymar is not to increase their strength because basically Al Hilal is already strong, it's just to advertise their club because Neymar is a star player so his popularity in the world of football is increasingly highlighted and of course Al Hilal not wanting to be outdone by the popularity of Al Nassr who recruited star players like Ronaldo.

[Lidger]

I'm thinking about the key to success in Al Hilal and how they won the games during this season and had much better performances even than a team like Al Nassr with all the superstars they had in this team.
To be honest, when Al Hilal lost Neymarbeacuse of getting injured while playing for Brazil, I was thinking Al Hilal couldn't have a good performance anymore after this player but I think Al Hilal was not even counting on Neymar because even without Neymar, Al Hilal had perfect performance in the games we saw from them.
However since they have a good financial situation, I think Al Hilal will think about seeking another player to fill the place of Neymar at the end of this season.

Al Hilal will certainly look for a replacement for Neymar next season, their financial strength can recruit any top European player, but not all players will be willing to move because of the Saudi Pro League because the League is not yet very competitive. Neymar injury is very detrimental to the club because he was bought very expensively from PSG, Al Hilal is lucky not to depend on Neymar to win every match, and it is very likely that Al Hilal will win the trophy with an unbeaten record throughout the season.

Despite Neymar's absence, Al Hilal's unbeaten streak remains outstanding. It shows you dont necessarily need star power to shine, right? While they've kept winning, Neymar's absence highlights the need for savvy signings. Why not find people that are huge game players as well as famous names? Fit-in players who contribute consistently and may help the Saudi Pro League become more competitive. Al Hilal can set an example by showing that success is developed piece by piece with local and international talent. This could be their chance to start a new league trend by focusing on sustainable success without relying on one or two big stars.

Al Nasser and Al Hilal have formed a very strong team to outperform other teams in the Saudi league. Al Hilal was already a strong team and they brought in Neymar from PSG to strengthen their team but after few performances Neymar got injured and even though Neymar got injured we didn't see any bad effect on the team. Al Hilal didn't just want to rely on Neymar but they strengthened the entire squad so that if a key player gets injured, the rest of the team can fill in the gaps. Al Hilal will become a more formidable team if Neymar is fit to play.

[Leviathan.007]

Al Itithad is doing what they can, because is really complicated for the manager and the rest of the team the feel of having a magnificent star like Benzema and instead of this being a plus he is making all to being a counterweight for the team, so having their in the 4º position is a lot in this conditions.

Al-ittihad just needs a coach who can differentiate between how to treat star players and those who are not. Conflict between star players and coaches will make the club atmosphere uncomfortable. And this will not only affect the star player and also the coach. But other players will also be dragged along. I would prefer to see a coach who can figure out how to handle a club that has star players. What the Al-Ittihad coach is doing now is more similar to what MU coach Ten Hag did when Cristiano Ronaldo was still at MU. I like the current coaches of al-hilal and al-nassr who know how to deal with clubs that have many star players.

It's not all about the coach but sometimes that's up to the players they buy for their team. Al Ittihad bought Benzema and they were hoping to see a perfect performance from this experienced French superstar player like they saw from him in Real Madrid when he was playing there but he disappointed everyone and had a bad performance this season.
He was mostly injured and now it seems in the game between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal which is an important and hard match for Al Ittihad, Karim Benzema can't help his team in this great match and this can be defiantly harmful to Al Ittihad to send money for this player and get a bad result, especially when we know for Al Ittihad AFC Chmpanios League is an important and great tournament.

[tranthidung]

Ronaldo can't win the Saudi League trophy alone, he needs the team work. He can be the top scorer but he won't win the trophy if they have weak team work. Al Nassr also has low quality on the defense players. It is very obvious because they already got too many conceded goals. Although Mitrovic isn't as skillful as Ronaldo but he can optimize his ability because the team work. The striker needs the supports from all lines to perform optimally.

They worked together but not good enough so they fail in Saudi Professional League and can not win it in this season. Mitrovic is a discovery in Al Hilal and Saudi Professional League this season. By his surprising good season, he contributes a lot to his club domination in the league.

The end of the league is not so long, there are still few remaining matches only. However, it is very unlikely for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal because the point gap is too large. Al Nassr only can expect to win the title of AFC but sadly they must face Al Hilal there as well. It won't be easy for Al Nassr, they even are behind 1 goal from Al Ain in AFC. It is rather shameful for Al Nassr.

AFC?

Al Nassr were kicked out by Al Ain hours ago. Again that match shows their defensive weakness as they scored four goals but got three conceded goals. Cristiano Ronaldo missed a very good chance when he was about 3 meters from the net. If their defense system is stronger, they would beat Al Ain already.

What happened in penalty shoot-outs are simply nightmare for Al Nassr. They have four shots and succeed only one by Ronaldo, three other players failed, Brozovic, Telles and Otávio. Brozovic is very experienced with his national team Croatia in penalty shoot-outs so this failed shot is so surprising.

It's really surprising and I don't believe that the Al Nassr team can perform so well up to now, but in this competition I think the players' performance in terms of defensive strength and cooperation between teams is not good. .
It is very unfortunate that the golden opportunity that should have been executed well by the Al Nassr players only resulted in one goal through a penalty shootout by Cristiano Ronaldo. And al Nassr must accept the fact that his team will fail to reach the semifinals tomorrow and it is possible that his hopes and achievements will only end here to become champions of the Saudi Arabian League this season.

[HajiBagi]

4-4 against Al Hazm at home and 1-3 against Al Raed at home. I think this is sufficient proof that Al Hilal is several times better than Al Nasr and they really deserve the title. Ronaldo wasn't the holy player they needed to dominate the Saudi Professional League. Despite Ronaldo playing that game, they were able to only create 3 serious chances or 3 shots on target. I haven't seen any part of that game, but it's surprising to see that they are losing against some teams that are playing in the relegation zone or are the last position in the table like Al Hazm. Project SPL title failed big time! But Ronaldo probably doesn't care for as long as he becomes the top scorer. That's all he cares about.

We fans are the ones who are confused; yes, we know that Ronaldo is a football legend and that he is very good and good at scoring goals, but we should also know that he is not the only player in the league. You are correct when you say that Ronaldo wasn't the only one to dominate the Saudi professional league because he is not the only player in the league. In Al Nassr and Al Ain Saudi champions league yesterday, we saw what happened, Ronaldo is in the field and still they defeat Al Nassr. Ronaldo did everything in his power to ensure that they advanced to the Champions League final, but the way the match unfolded meant that Al Nassr lost and was eliminated by Al Ain.

We should recognise that games can change at times, and we shouldn't expect a team to win every game they play. For example, Ronaldo cannot make up a lost match for himself as a fan; football is an unpredictable sport at times, and we should accept that. As for Al Nassr, I don't think they will win any titles this season because they will not have the same opportunities.

It is indeed very unfortunate to see Al-Nassr fail at the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League. I also didn't expect that Al-Nassr would lose in the penalty shootout. Even though Al-Nassr players should have better qualities that can make them successful even in a penalty shootout. But when it comes to Penalty Shootouts, there is always a luck factor in it. So it is not surprising that strong teams can also lose in a penalty shootout. The only thing I regret is that Al-Nassr failed in this competition and they will also fail in the SPL. Because Al-hilal looks comfortable being at the top of the rankings. In fact, I feel that Al-Hilal could also become the favorite team in the AFC Champions League.

Maybe right now the Al Nassr team is experiencing extraordinary sadness because they were confident from the start and would advance to the final but there was an unexpected problem with the penalty shootout which was not executed properly and perfectly by the Al Nassr players themselves, only Cristiano Ronaldo was the one who was able to score the goal in the penalty shootout.
Indeed, in a football match, the luck factor also has a strong meaning because we can see for ourselves that the Al Nassr squad team, which is predicted to enter the final and will probably meet Al Hilal, will suffer defeat in the quarter-finals of the match against Saudi Arabia this season.
And what you say is true, that currently Al Hilal is still very comfortable and relaxed. Al Hilal certainly sees that this match is a golden opportunity for him to advance to the final and Al Hilal will become a favorite for Saudi Arabian football fans in the future.

[dezoel]

Ittihad FC replaced their old coach because of Karim Benzema. If I'm not mistaken, it was reported that Nuno Espírito Santo didn't like the club's move to only buy old players because he hoped to build a strong team with young players, especially since Benzema's performance did not match expectations and was actually not right if Benzema is compared to Ronaldo because after all Ronaldo is much better than the French player.
Karim Benzema has reportedly asked his agent to find another club in the Saudi pro league because he doesn't really have a place in the hearts of Ittihad FC fans, and in my opinion, if Benzema is true leaving the club is not a problem because when they returned to their best performance it was proven that their old striker was the one who is more productive than Benzema so without him Ittihad FC might even be better.

Few Saudi League clubs done mistakes during the signing of big players like Neymar and Karim Benzema which hurt their cause badly but still things are not bad with Neymar is already settled, and now we are looking for the Karim Benzema which is also going to lose his contract because this creates too many issues which have big impact on Al Ittihad performance, and currently they are at the fourth spot with no chance for having spot into top three even we have good work from the Al Ittihad management which change former coach which hurt their club's performance but still things were not as they were expecting so it's also going to hurt badly Karim Benzema which is now near the end of his career.

Hopefully now they will learn from their mistakes and will do better things which will help them for having players which will give them better performance and services which will not create any concerns about this league which is having bright future in the long run in this region.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Anyone here think we can see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Saudi League at any time? Im refering like going to MLS or something like that?

It's never ever happened. How can we expect him to degrade his level by going to the MLS league? how can it possible to happen?

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to extend his stay at Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr until 2027.

https://www.eurosport.com/football/transfers/2023-2024/cristiano-ronaldo-wants-to-extend-stay-at-al-nassr-until-2027-paper-round_sto9831126/story.shtml

Even thought the article released last year but it's still reliable enough. I think that ronaldo has has intention to stay much longer in the club. This is also making the situation even better for the club since ronaldo is also having willingness to stay much longer in the club.
I hope al nassr will agree to extend his contract till 2027. The possibility of him to join in other club was not there. It will also make al nassr will able to defend him much longer. Al nassr was always making the situation even better than before. That being said that if club is performing very well by having ronaldo in the squad.

Because we know him very well and aside of his personal marks he wants to win tournaments and seems like in this Al Nasrr is not gonna happen.

The chance is so small. If you are aware about how al nassr is only having a chance to win AFC champion league. Yeah it gets a weak opponent but it's lost at the first leg. The second leg is gonna happen at home for al hilal and im sure that if the club will able to perform even better for the upcoming season.
Al hilal is the biggest problem for al nassr to win the trophy this season. it's caused by al hilal was always having very good record this season against al nassr.

Al Hilal can set an example by showing that success is developed piece by piece with local and international talent. This could be their chance to start a new league trend by focusing on sustainable success without relying on one or two big stars.

Even Neymar's presence or absence never been having any impact on this team because he was here just for some fans base in South America after Messi refuse to join Saudi League, and they were looking for the top player from this region so Al Hilal already done good work and their performance is surely impressive which helps them for having top spot in this season Metrovic is doing amazing stuff after joining this club which is impressive with most chances we will have them into final of the AFC Champions League and their Saudi League title is also confirmed things can go for the double which will be amazing.

Now most chances we will have some good changes in coming season and surely Al Hilal will be also gone for the another big player now who is going to join them it's not clear but still they will be tried their best for having any top tier player from the UEFA which will increase their fan base as well which is currently most important for them.

[beerlover]

Karim Benzema before he joined Al Ittihad isn't the kind of player that's demonstrated too much pride but how he's automatically changed since he joined the club have been a very huge surprise to me. He's been having issues with the management and fans of his current club and even threatened them of wanting to leave the club earlier this season and now, it's been reported that the club had to sack their manager Nuno Espírito Santo because Karim Benzema didn't like the manager. It's true that Karim Benzema have won almost everything that is expected of a footballer including the Balon D'or but that doesn't mean that he should be rude to the club that signed him. If he's not interested in football again, he should humbly resign rather than trying to make himself a demigod.

I feel like Benzema is getting paid good enough amount of money to demand something like that. If he was back at Real Madrid or any other big club then he wouldn't have that chance because they would simply fire him, or sell him because he wouldn't have that leverage. Now that he is there, and he is getting a gratzillion dollars per year, that feels like he could ask for anything he wants since he has the leverage against the club.

If Ittihad doesn't want these type of issues then they shouldn't give this much to a single player to give him this much credit. Don't get me wrong, not every player is like that, but you are taking a risk of player being a snub, or even injured, and just get that money without deserving it.

[Strongkored]

Anyone here think we can see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Saudi League at any time? Im refering like going to MLS or something like that?

Because we know him very well and aside of his personal marks he wants to win tournaments and seems like in this Al Nasrr is not gonna happen.

Moving to MLS is possible if there is a club there that is willing to pay a fantastic salary, even moving to the Portuguese league is also possible for him to end his career at his childhood club because several players do that.
But for some reason I think he will remain in the Saudi Pro League until he finally announces his retirement from his football career, indeed at Al-Nassr it seems difficult for him to get a title but this season is not finished yet, it is certain that Al-Nassr will fail to become the Saudi Pro League champion but there are several other tournaments that still provide opportunities for them to become champions, such as the Saudi Super Cup and the Asian Champions League, but it is not easy, especially since they will face their toughest opponent, namely the Al-Hilal team, which they cannot beat this season and early in April. competing in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup, If Al-Nassr is able to get past Al-Hilal, there is a big chance of becoming champion in the Saudi Super Cup.

[Winterfrost]

What happened in penalty shoot-outs are simply nightmare for Al Nassr. They have four shots and succeed only one by Ronaldo, three other players failed, Brozovic, Telles and Otávio. Brozovic is very experienced with his national team Croatia in penalty shoot-outs so this failed shot is so surprising.

regardless of the argument, penalty shootout is a 50/50 scenario and you can't be too experienced not to have missed a penalty shootout. It's always  the moment when the outcome of the game is 70% luck and 30% experience.

Ronaldo has always been an incredible penalty taker and regardless of the social media banters against him, he has always delivered in major penalty shootout and it's just unfortunate that the other players missed out in their own kicks.
