Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[OcTradism]

Without Neymar Al Hilal have shown their best strength last season and if he returns fit and joins the team at the start of this season of course that is quite good news. Fans are of course looking forward to Neymar's action on the field, but it's a shame that he often gets injured because when he recovered, it wasn't long before he was injured again. It may be true that Neymar's recruitment did not end as desired because he had frequent injuries which hampered him last season.

Al Hilal impressively dominated Saudi Professional League 2023 - 2024 season almost without contributions from Neymar. He only had several matches for them with nearly no impression and got a serious injury, missed nearly a whole season. This means Al Hilal are very strong even without Neymar so the recovery and return of Neymar in a new season, is only one potential plus for Al Hilal squad. If Neymar plays well, he will contribute to make Al Hilal stronger and can defend their title. If Neymar plays bad, Al Hilal can play well with other players, not big issue to worry.

This season, several other teams will try to build their strength to become stronger, as has been done by Al Ittihad, where they are quite active in tempting many of Europe's top players in this transfer market.
For Ronaldo, of course, he will target the title this season with Al Nassr because he wants to taste a prestigious trophy before he announces his retirement.

Al Hilal, after one dominating season, will be challenged more by other teams in Saudi Professional League. They will have harder job to complete and defend their championship but with strength they have, they can succeed with this task. If Al Nassr won't improve their defense system, they will less likely be able to compete with Al Hilal and beat Al Hilal in a long season competition.

In today's pre-season match, Al-Ittihad suffered a narrow defeat from Sevilla and I think they have not found the right chemistry with Laurent Blanc's new strategy. There are no match statistics but seeing Karim Benzema and Moussa Diaby playing in this match is certainly not a reason for Al-Ittihad to lose.

Karim Benzema even got a penalty kick but unfortunately it failed to produce a goal. Both clubs rotated their players in two different halves but Ocampos' goal in the 42nd minute could not be equalized. The rest of the two teams can correct each other's game but for Al-Ittihad this is an important match as preparation before facing strong competitors in the Saudi pro league.

Laurent Blanc is new coach so it is natural that he has not been able to show good performance, strategy or strong play for Al Ittihad, after all, this is only pre-season match and I sure that in pre-season matches in the future we will definitely find many unexpected surprises.
Many people consider match like this to be match filled with drama and also like manipulation where the really strong team just plays as they please or doesn't really care about winning, it just that during pre-season I don't really care about who is superior because they can easily lose.
Just look at how Al Ittihad played yesterday against Sevilla, they played like they weren't very coordinated and they didn't take advantage of some of the opportunities they had, but that normal because winning won't give anything.
Moreover, if this is considered an important match then Al Ittihad will definitely win, for they will show that their readiness for future SPL competitions is truly mature.

We are in preseason, Laurent Blanc had first game but we can't give any statement about his performance because he is going to take time for having understanding of players and team chemistry which is surely going to have changed in coming days because we all know change of coach always create problems and it's never been easy for a new coach to have things good in early games.

Karim Benzema and Moussa Diaby are surely going to give their best in coming season after having disappointed last season where they were down and out of top three which give them setback now as we are heading for the start of the new season all teams are trying their best for fixing their problems which are giving them headache in last season specially Al Ittihad and Al Nassr need to be had better and improved.

Al Hilal made a post on their official Facebook page yesterday where they posted some pictures of Neymar's rehab and said they are looking forward to his return soon. In this post of theirs, it is at least certain that Neymar will stay at Al Hilal next season. With the way Neymar is trying to recover from his injury, we may see him in the Al-Hilal jersey from the start next season. When Neymar left PSG and signed a contract with Saudi club Al Hilal, he has been out of the field for almost the entire season due to injuries. The plan that Al Hilal brought him to the team did not materialize at all last season, but the Saudi club still have faith in Neymar and we also hope that he will be fully fit next season and give the team a full season of service.

Al Hilal, what the hell are you guys doing? It's a risky move to sign Neymar, who has been hurt more lately than he has scored goals. When he's fit, he's great on the field, but that's a big "when." There's no doubt that this rush to get big names like Neymar and this Roque kid is flashy. A lot of flash doesn't win titles, though. You need a group of guys who are always there for every game. Without a doubt, Neymar changes the game, but only when he's on his feet. Al Hilal needs to find the right mix between star power and being tough all the time. They have to walk a line, but if they do it right, they could shock everyone

I still remember clearly that before signing Neymar, Al Hilal management accepted the fact that Neymar could get injured but still they signed Neymar. There were two reasons behind Neymar's contract with their club, one is to bring all the eyes of Neymar fans around the world to the Saudi League, and on the other hand, to increase the performance of the team. I am a neymar fan and before neymar joined al hilal club i never watched al hilal games but after neymar signed with al hilal i watched all the matches neymar played for al hilal and even after neymar was injured i was a regular point of this team. Looking at the table and seeing the match results. Maybe there are many more fans like me who support Neymar like this and support Neymar's team Al Hilal. 

If Neymar is fully fit next season, Neymar's club will fulfill all the objectives for which he was signed. Now it remains to be seen if Neymar can return fit and remain injury free for the entire season.

But Al-Hilal uses Neymar's big name very well for marketing purposes and this can still help the club's income even though Neymar has never played a match with Al-Hilal. I think there are positive and negative values ​​that can be taken from the Neymar incident and of course even though Al-Hilal is not strengthened by Neymar they are still as strong.

It's all because of the intelligence of coach Jorge Jesus who is known to be very cool in handling the Al-Hilal squad and wherever they step they always win. We can also see in the Saudi pro league Al-Hilal remains an undefeated team last season and it is possible that next season they will still maintain that record. Well, Neymar will only be a luxurious decoration owned by Al-Hilal and regardless of whether he plays or not because he is still injured, it will not change anything if Al-Hilal still dominates the league.

Al-Hilal has always remained strong even without Neymar. but I'm sure many are looking forward to Neymar returning to play at Al-Hilal when he recovers. And Neymar's condition has indeed improved, although he has not yet fully recovered. But in the next season, we can hope that Neymar will be able to play again. Neymar has indeed added to the popularity of the SPL in the eyes of the football world. So even without him playing, actually just being part of the Al-Hilal club is already an attraction in itself. Jorge Jesus is indeed a genius coach. He is able to maximize every player that Al-hilal has very well. And last season Al-hilal also achieved a very convincing unbeaten record in the SPL. Because Al-hilal always seems to make victory so easy for them to get. Maybe next season will indeed be a more interesting season. Because Al-hilal will try to dominate again and other teams will try to catch up.

Neymar Jr is dormant player, still injured and have been sideline for months, not good for the club because they signed him from Paris Saint-Germain because he was the positioned player that would relieve pressure. Al Hilal don't depend on Neymar Jr for winning games and lifting trophies. They've in place, the expected squad to clean out the competitive race.

To be honest, Neymar is now just a burden that Al Hilal has to bear, because they have to pay his salary even though he doesn't play. On the one hand, without Neymar's presence, they also have no problems and can even perform well, apart from that, there are personal problems between Neymar and the management which are certainly a pressure. Some time ago, Al Hilal expressed their annoyance at Neymar because this player was unable to maintain his condition, but this is something difficult because the player himself certainly does not want to experience this problem.

Even if Al Hilal wants to sell Neymar, I think it is quite difficult because of his condition. Other clubs will not take the risk of buying a player who is not in his best form or even injured. What Al Hilal can do now is wait for their player to recover and if they don't want to take any more risks, they must quickly sell him when there is an offer.

Yes, Neymar is indeed a burden for Al Hilal. I can't understand whether Al Hilal is a club that likes to throw money out the window or they have no experience in the transfer market. They brought a player who is constantly injured like Neymar, I don't know what they will get in this deal. Media for the club?

Since the beginning of the year, Neymar has mainly lived in the US and Brazil. Since moving to Al Hilal in the summer of 2023, the Brazilian striker's contributions have been quite limited. He has only played 5 matches for Al Hilal, scored 1 goal, and had 3 assists. Neymar could become the worst flop. Al Hilal is also losing patience with the Brazilian superstar. I guess it's possible that after the contract expires, the two sides will "go their separate ways". There will be no team with enough money to naively want to recruit Neymar.

Neymar was a disaster at Al Hilal. He cost a fortune, expecting a superstar and game-changer. Rather, what did they find? Injury-prone celeb who's spent more time on the bench than on the pitch. Al Hilal need not have him. They are winning and claiming the championship even without him! So what's the point of keeping a guy who's just draining your bank account?

Now, they're stuck with him. Nobody wants to pay a large contract for an injury-prone player. It's a headache, a big one. And you know what happens when you have headaches? You can't focus. You can't plan. And that's terrible news given Al Ittihad and Al Nassr are breathing down your neck. So, what's the solution? I don't know, maybe cut their losses? Perhaps attempt trading him for a bag of soccer balls. Though I'm not sure, something must change. In Neymar's case? It's messy and not going to clear very soon.

Because Al-hilal will try to dominate again and other teams will try to catch up.

Previously, Neymar was scheduled to return to play between August, according to the Brazilian national team doctor at that time. So if Al Hilal keeps him, it is likely that Neymar can return to play with Al Hilal after the new season starts. I had read several previous posts, if Al Hilal had reported about Neymar recently. It is true, Al Hilal is still a strong team even without Neymar last season. In the coming season, we do not know Al Hilal's overall performance. Although this team is one of the elite teams in the Saudi League, there are several competing teams that are ready to compete in the coming season. There is nothing wrong with keeping Neymar, after all he is still under contract with Al Hilal for another season. Jorge Jesus is a coach who has handled Al Hilal before, so when he returns to handle Al Hilal, he is already quite familiar with this team. Next season the competition will be quite competitive, considering that the teams that are Al Hilal's competitors are not sitting still to increase the strength of their squads. one of them is Al Nassr, the team that is Al Hilal's rival will certainly be even tighter in competing for the League trophy. plus, several other clubs seem to also be participating in enlivening the competition after the Saudi Pro League is held. isn't this more interesting, so it's natural that Al Hilal will not let go of Neymar. after all, there is not necessarily a club from another League that is willing to pay for Neymar's services with his condition that is not yet certain.

Al Hilal don't depend on Neymar Jr for winning games and lifting trophies. They've in place, the expected squad to clean out the competitive race.

You are right, since being brought in from PSG in 2023, Neymar has only played 3 times without scoring a goal so we can say that he did not contribute to Al-Hilal this season while the contract will end in 2025 well, we don't know what steps Al-Hilal will take next. So far we have not heard any rumors regarding this player even though we know that Al Hilal will definitely be harmed. To be honest, I almost forgot about this player because I haven't seen him play in a long time.

I agree if Al-Hilal terminates his contract and looks for another player as a replacement, why keep him in the team while having no contribution and Al-Hilal had to pay a high price for it. I'm sure Al-Hilal can get other more useful players moreover, in this transfer window, there are several European players whose contracts will expire.

Note, Saudi Arabia football is quite different from the English Premier League and European leagues. It's very challenging and entirely different from others. Rumors circulating rapidly but I lose interest in them because the vast news are mainly rumors. I only stick with reliable source which is very impressive and important in the transfer news. Neymar Jr have no impact for Al Hilal, he continue to struggle with injuries and weigh out of balance. He will return to training in couple of months and start keying into major roles for the club.

Very true. Neymar only spends the season on the bench, he got injury for a very long time. Last season, Neymar almost did no contribution for Al Hilal. If we followed the news of Neymar, most of the time is only about his controversial habits. So, this player actually deserves to sell, or Al Hilal board can terminate his contract. I think one of the biggest problems of Neymar is he never learns to live as a discipline player. So, his injury never recovers because of his habit. His great skills is nothing if he can't play due to a prone of injury. Moreover, Neymar asks a big salary, it should burden the financial of Al Hilal.

Note, Saudi Arabia football is quite different from the English Premier League and European leagues. It's very challenging and entirely different from others. Rumors circulating rapidly but I lose interest in them because the vast news are mainly rumors.

Why you lose interest because of rumors? 
You can't blame Saudi league if there are too many rumors around them. It is the media who often made rumors. Just blame the media, dude.
We can't expect Saudi league to have the same level as top leagues in Europe. Sure, SPL is different with EPL, La Liga, Serie A, or other European leagues. However, I think SPL has made a big progress. It is not easy to attract many top European players to play in a small league like SPL. They deserve to get the appreciation.

A more interesting competition will indeed occur in the next season. Because several clubs in the SPL have started adding new players and many of them are European star players. And what makes me quite enthusiastic about the next SPL season is because now it's not just European players who are no longer young who come to SPL clubs. But now several young players also seem interested in joining clubs in the SPL. And Al-Nassr has also got a fairly young goalkeeper, namely Bento. Even though I say young here, I don't mean less than 20 years old, but Bento himself is already 25 years old. But I say he is a young player because he is younger than the European star players who were previously brought to this club. Al-Nassr continues to improve their defense line which was very fragile last season. And I wonder how it will play out in the coming season.

It is likely that Neymar Jr will recover soon this summer and he will start to show his contribution to Al Hilal but maybe he is still a bit prone to injury so he might not be used too often by Al Hilal coach to prevent bad things from happening again, even without Neymar Al Hilal still has other good players like Aleksander Mitrovic who last season was the top scorer, I just hope that Neymar's performance does not decrease drastically because he was absent for a long time.
But I didn't know that Neymar was contracted for 2 years since he was bought from PSG. I thinking with a fairly expensive price he was given a long-term contract. If Neymar leaves next season, Al Hilal will suffer even more losses because they lost their star player for free.

Paris Saint-Germain knows the raring of Neymar and had to let him go because he was unavailable to creates aides for them during important matches. Perhaps an SPL elite side, Al Hilal can do more without the contribution of the player. He's always keen on accomplishing his mission,  always taking heights, during his prime. But I'm afraid about his current position in the team. Neymar Jr is vulnerable to injuries and this is bad for the reputation and standard form of the Brazilian. He's been sidelined for months and this is probably bad news for Neymar Jr and his agent.

[hyudien]

It doesn't matter to them whether they lose or win in this match, the most important thing is that they can see where they have weaknesses so that they can fix them in the real competition later. Friendly matches like this are very important for a team, because they can evaluate before starting the competition. Yes, it should have been a match that ended in a draw if only the golden opportunity they got could have been made into a goal. But they don't need to regret this result, because their game was actually good at the beginning. Although there are still many notes that they need to fix to make the team better next season. The Saudi Pro League team must have more friendly matches with stronger teams, it will make them learn a lot about how different strengths with different playing styles too.

From the formation of players we can see who are the players used in the Sevilla match against Ittihad and everyone knows friendly matches are not very important because they only give some time for young players to feel a few matches before the new season starts.
With other meanings like every club only gives players the opportunity who does not have full time in the real match.

We may not need to be surprised by the results of the match because even though Sevilla is one of the popular European clubs, it does not mean that Ittihad cannot provide resistance so the score ended 1-0.

That is actually the goal of the teams in carrying out pre-season matches, they do not look at the final results, but they look more at the progress that can be shown. Moreover, with players who rarely get playing minutes in the competition, it is expected that they can show their abilities, because it is not impossible that in the pre-season match the coach will see and may start to consider giving more playing minutes to the player. It also feels strange when people only look at the final results of this pre-season match, what do they want to expect from a match like this other than preparing themselves as well as possible? After all, this is also a form of their preparation to go through the real season. What must be considered is when entering the beginning of the season. There we can see their real game and from there we can judge their performance.

Neymar is not to blame for having such a serious injury, I think he would be more happy to be on the field than to undergo rehabilitation after such a serious injury. He will not be able to return to the game until this fall, and it is not clear how well he will be able to recover and how much time he will need to get back into shape. And his contract with Al-Hilal ends in 2025, so it is quite possible that he will not bring much benefit to the club and will not extend his contract.

Without Neymar Al Hilal have shown their best strength last season and if he returns fit and joins the team at the start of this season of course that is quite good news. Fans are of course looking forward to Neymar's action on the field, but it's a shame that he often gets injured because when he recovered, it wasn't long before he was injured again. It may be true that Neymar's recruitment did not end as desired because he had frequent injuries which hampered him last season.

But Al-Hilal uses Neymar's big name very well for marketing purposes and this can still help the club's income even though Neymar has never played a match with Al-Hilal. I think there are positive and negative values ​​that can be taken from the Neymar incident and of course even though Al-Hilal is not strengthened by Neymar they are still as strong.

It's all because of the intelligence of coach Jorge Jesus who is known to be very cool in handling the Al-Hilal squad and wherever they step they always win. We can also see in the Saudi pro league Al-Hilal remains an undefeated team last season and it is possible that next season they will still maintain that record. Well, Neymar will only be a luxurious decoration owned by Al-Hilal and regardless of whether he plays or not because he is still injured, it will not change anything if Al-Hilal still dominates the league.

Yes, you are right, Neymar has provided something positive for the team with his big name. He is able to provide a lot of positive encouragement for the club's finances with jersey sales or other marketing. However, if you look at his career statistics, of course a storm of injuries has hampered him in the last two seasons. But looking at his trophy collection, of course he is very successful because of Al Hilal's success last season adding to Neymar's trophy collection. I hope he can return to the field if he is 100% fit because in terms of age of course he is still strong enough to play another 4 or 5 seasons.

Seeing Al Hilal's progress last season, of course many people were amazed by their concentration, who managed to go match after match without being defeated. In fact, Al Hilal was able to lock up the title early because of the large difference in points with Al Nassr. The Saudi Arabian league is getting more interesting every season because many European players continue to join the Saudi Arabian league.
