Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Currently there is no certainty whether Ronaldo will accept the contract extension offer because he is quite old but it would be an honor for Ronaldo and Al Nassr if both parties accept the offer.
It can be predicted that the last club before he retired was Al Nassr, the club he would defend before retiring and Ronaldo has also said that his son has also entered a Saudi Arabian football club and this is a sign that Ronaldo is very comfortable with Al Nassr and besides that it is also a sign that Ronaldo is likely to accept Al Nassr's offer if he will extend his contract.

Ronaldo to his current club. Such decision stated that he wants to end his football career for Al Nasser and he wants to play his last match for Al Nasser. Basically, when Ronaldo was going through a bad period, all the other clubs turned their backs on him, but Al Nasser extended a friendly hand to him and signed him back to the field. Although Ronaldo performed poorly for Al Nasser, Al Nasser always trusted him, that's why Ronaldo wants to announce the end of his football career for this club. Ronaldo's performance is completely ruined or in such a bad condition that he cannot be kept in the eleven but Ronaldo did not come so I at least believe that Al Nasser must extend the contract with Cristiano Ronaldo until 2026 and this may be the last contract of Ronaldo's football career.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best strikers of all time yet he rejoined his old club Manchester United after leaving Real Madrid. Even when he was released from there, it was very difficult to find his club as no club wanted to sign him at that time. Maybe he had to face such problems mainly due to his out of form.

While Catalan, European, English Premier League, Bundesliga Premier League, Italian Premier League clubs were turning their backs on him, Saudi Pro League club Al Nasser took notice of him He was even signed by the owner of that club to play for that club. There he may spend the last time of his career. Because he is already too old and can't even play like before, so there is no possibility of him being bought by any club later. Moreover, it is a credit to the Saudi Pro League that they were the first to sign a world-class striker of such reputation as Ronaldo. Before this, there was no best player like him in this league.

Last season Al-Ahli was a team that was promoted to the SPL and immediately made thorough preparations in the transfer market by bringing in many European star players to their club. And the result was that Al-Ahli immediately managed to finish in 3rd place in the SPL standings. And I think there is something interesting about one of the teams being promoted to the SPL this season. Because it seems they are also taking the same steps as Al-ahli in making preparations by bringing in many European star players. Namely Al Qadsiah, which they have even succeeded in bringing in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and several other European star players such as Nacho Fernández, who we also know as one of the legendary defenders at Real Madrid and now he is at the Al-Qadsiah club with Aubameyang.

I think Al-Qadsiah will be a newcomer in the season whose strength should be taken into account by other teams in the SPL.

IMO, it seems like Al-Ahli needs a reshuffle in their squad. I mean if they want to compete closely with other strong teams like Al Hilal and Al Nassr, this team must be much more productive in order to compete closely with the other two elite clubs. if we compare, the team architected by Matthias Jaissle has a fairly large gap when compared to the teams occupying the runner-up and first positions. Al-Ahli is 17 pawns away from Al Nassr, 31 points from Al Hilal. but at least, they were able to break into the third position in the LPS rankings. quite good for a promotion team, although they also brought in big names from Europe. talking about the Al Qadsiah squad, this team also has abundant finances. because, this club is under the auspices of one of the state-owned oil companies. that's why, they had no trouble bringing in Nacho Fernandez and Aubameyang. there are also several other players that they brought in, even though they don't have big names. let's see, whether they are able to overtake and break into the top four in the Saudi Pro League table. but, I think they still need some other newcomers who can be relied on. at least, to be able to compete with the top teams in the Saudi League, Al Qadsiah at least needs a depth of players that is not much different from its rivals.

Maybe this is a victory that Al-Ittihad should be proud of because it was not a weak team that they defeated but last season's Serie A champion, Inter. But indeed, regardless of the results, this is only a pre-season match, but this is a good record where from the previous 4 pre-season matches, Al-Ittihad always suffered defeat.

If you look at the existing line-up, Inter actually played with their main squad, and so did Al-Ittihad. However, if this was an official match, Al-Ittihad would definitely lose badly. Moussa Diaby was finally able to score a goal and no doubt the two goals were scored by him directly. With this, the pre-season match for Al-Ittihad has finished and I hope all the matches can be used as evaluation material by coach Laurent Blanc to prepare for the upcoming Saudi pro league match.

I had the opportunity to watch the highlights of the game and Inter wasted some good goal opportunities, it didn't even look like the Inter they were playing, the Inter striker made a lot of mistakes. But it wasn't just the Inter striker who was making mistakes, I saw Benzema also being a disaster, it didn't even seem like Benzema who didn't make mistakes at Real Madrid, he just had to be close to the opposing team's goalkeeper and he would score a goal, there were many games in which Benzema saved Real Madrid. But in this Al-Ittihad team, Benzema is very absent, the mistakes he has made are unbelievable, see some of the mistakes he made in this game



 



 

Inter's defense made a lot of mistakes, probably because Benjamin Pavard wasn't playing, while Inter's attack was missing Lautaro Martínez. If these two players were in the squad and Inter played seriously, I think Inter could have won the game. Al-Ittihad will need to play well this season if they are serious about winning the Saudi Professional League and I honestly see this as an extremely difficult task, especially with Benzema's lack of form. I can see Al-Ittihad finishing in third place next season.

Yes, I also did not expect Al Ahli to compete well last season, even their performance was better than Al Ittihad who became the SPL champion in the previous season, indeed indirectly Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal taught other SPL clubs to do the same thing as other elite clubs to recruit European players who have good potential so that they do not lag behind in the SPL competition.

I am also curious about Al Qadsyah's performance this season with the arrival of several foreign players who will make their performance different and if they succeed in becoming a dark horse this season it will make the competition in the SPL even more interesting to watch.

After having foreign players in this league now things are completely change, and we are having good development in many clubs specially clubs those are having enough sources for investment and having quality players like Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli these all are under management of the PIF, so things are completely well under control just because of this we are having these clubs at the top spots without any challenge in last season, but now we can expect some changes.

In coming season we are having all clubs were established for having good performance with now we are also having another new club Al Qadsyah its under the management of the Aramco which is world's largest company, and they are also capable of having services of many top players this club can create challenging performance for the few top clubs with their own quality and performance.

Well, this is quite a proud result for this team even though it is only in pre-season. And through this match Al-ittihad also managed to prove that they had made a very successful transfer this time. Namely, they were lucky to bring Moussa Diaby to their team from Aston Villa. Because in the pre-season match against Inter Milan we have seen this player make a big contribution to Al-ittihad. Because Moussa Diaby was immediately able to make Brace in the match against Inter Milan. He scored the first goal in the 25th minute and then scored the second goal in the 47th minute. And thanks to the two goals scored by Moussa Diaby, Al-ittihad managed to win. This is just a pre-season game. But I was quite happy to see Al-ittihad able to win against a team as strong as Inter Milan even though Inter Milan did not play with their full strength.

The victory over Intermilan certainly surprised us because in previously match Al Ittihad experienced defeats against La Liga teams, namely Real Betis and Sevilla, which tended to be weaker, both teams actually played quite well in that match and were often able to make the defenders have hard to work to break every attack carried out by both teams, Intermilan succeeded in dominating the match and attack, however they were not able to maximize every opportunity they had to score a goal and this can be seen if Intermilan had 14 shots compared to Al Ittihad which only had 8 shot, Al Ittihad, which had minimal opportunities, was actually able to do more effective in taking advantage of existing opportunities, especially as the intermilan defense was very chaotic in that the match.
Intermilan actually did not field a full squad in that match, but at least the victory over Intermilan gave them greater confidence and motivation to face the competition next season in the SPL.

I would definitely consider that as something to be proud of, even though it's a friendly game, it's still against a team much much better than them, so it's clear that we are talking about a win that's worth something and it should be something they could be very proud of, without this win it feels like we are talking about something that's normal because Inter is better and if Inter won then we would all be saying how common and expected that result is.

However, with Ittihad winning this, and once again I agree that it's just a friendly game, but even with that idea it's still a huge win for them, they are normally not at the same level at all. I would put Ittihad at Serie B right now, because at Serie A right now they would basically battle relegation at the best, and that's with all the money they are spending, teams they would be battling spends %10 of what they spend, and Ittihad still manage to somehow win over the champions so they should be quite happy with this game.
