Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Ahli38]

As you said above, Al Ahli actually did not experience a decline in performance, but Al Ahli previous defeat when facing Al Fateh could have been predicted before the match started. Regarding the Al Nassr match that will face Al Ahli, it is actually too early because currently Ronaldo is playing for his country and it is uncertain whether he will appear in the match against Al Ahli later. If in the upcoming match Ronaldo has to be absent for a short rest, Al Ahli still has a chance to hold a draw. But if Ronaldo still appears in the match, it would be better to choose to bet on Al Nassr win -1 with higher odds of around @2+.

Al Nassr should win the game with or without Ronaldo presence because they have being defeating Al Ahli Saudi for the past games that they have played. Ronaldo being fit for the match shouldn't make him to start because he needs to rest after playing during the international break and most of the players in the league didn't have the time play he is having and also considering his age. He shouldn't be over used before he gets burnt out and can't perform again. Both clubs don't have a clean record looking at their last played games but since Ronaldo influences is at Al nassr, they should win or the game ends in a draw for both team to share the points.

Al-Nassr cannot afford to lose a single point in every match this season if they want to compete with Al-Hilal in the race for the title this season. with Ronaldo or without Ronaldo.  But if we look back at how Al-nassr performed without Ronaldo then we will see a deadlock in the attack line. This team's accuracy sometimes becomes not so good when Ronaldo is not there due to absence or something. I don't know how, but the Al-Nassr players always seem to get better when Ronaldo is present. Talisca and Mane can be expected in the attack line. but they sometimes lose their consistency. So I hope Cristiano Ronaldo can play even if only in the second half. Because considering his age, he should be given a little rest. And it's okay to keep him out of the starting eleven for a while in the next match against Al-ahli.

Neymar career is nearby to be over, everyone who knows a brazilian know this. With the injuries plus he really likes the life of being in full aprtys plus being a streamer or even a game player the football now is more and more becoming a fun activity and not a profesional one.

For me the next steps on Neymar carrer are gonna be, stay for a while in Saudi arabia, like one more year, and after that return to play in his country for a brazilian team, and going full samba and play full for fun.

Saudi Arabia league is starting to become competitive and popular compared to European football. Saudi Pro league are harbouring players that are consider to be out of their prime in European league, this is the main reason why most of these European players are seeing it as a retirement plan. SPL clubs pays handsomely when it comes to wages for their players.

Al Hilal was blindfolded during the period they pushed to sign the Brazilian from Paris Saint-Germain? I seem not to understand the whole scenario because it has never been an easy path for the player, having to deal with quite challenges. It's all over for Neymar Jr because he's no longer actively in formidable form regarding the high vulnerability of injuries.

Neymar knee injury makes Neymar still unplayable at Al Hilal this season too, despite the fact that this season is Neymar last season at Al Hilal because Neymar contract at Al Hilal also ends in 2025 and that means this season is last season for Neymar at Al Hilal. I don't understand, whether this kind of incident makes Al Hilal lose or not because anyway, throughout Neymar contract at Al Hilal the fact is that Neymar also only played three matches at that time because after that Neymar was injured until now.

But, even though Neymar had a long injury that Al Hilal still managed to get a trophy and also, until now Al Hilal is still very good even without Neymar. So yes, I thinking whether Al Hilal is a big loss because of Neymar long injury or it is still fine because anyway, Al Hilal still managed to win trophies too even without Neymar. But basically, it's really unfortunate because fans were also expecting Neymar to play fully at Al Hilal throughout the season but anyway, the reality was not as expected because of Neymar long injury.

The injuries suffered by neymar include severe injuries and often recur when he forces himself to play, so it can be said that if neymar career is on the edge and it is just a matter of time for him to really end it later, I think the injury history that Neymar has had so far has become an open secret and made European teams reluctant to sign him from PSG before because of the possibility of great risk, but not with Al Hillal who actually never thought twice about signing Neymar at that time and even they are still trying to keep Neymar in the current squad although they know that the chances of Neymar returning to play again very unlikely to happen, seeing the phenomenon that happened to the footballer who has and will retire at this time is indeed a streamer,  football pundits, YouTubers and influencers can be the jobs that Neymar will do later.

[rahmad2nd]

Actually, the match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli is not an easy match because basically Al Ahli can make Al Nassr overwhelmed and make it difficult to win, I agree that with the absence of several core players like Ronaldo, there might be chance for Al Ahli to hold draw and share points.

I don't know the line-up of both teams yet, whether on Al Nassr or Al-Ahli's side. Moreover, regarding Ronaldo being able to play or not, in Al-Ahli's camp I also don't know whether Matthias Jaissle will play Ivan Toney as a starter. This is interesting, at least Al-Ahli can provide fierce resistance because they have newcomers. Not only Toney, but they also brought in midfielders. Although based on the betting exchange Al Nassr is more favored, but it feels like this match will be tough. That is if Matthias Jaissle immediately plays his newcomer, because I am quite sure that Ivan Toney is able to adapt immediately to his teammates at Al-Ahli. It's only a matter of days before these two teams meet, but Al Nassr still has the advantage of playing at home and has a much more competitive team.

Al Nassr will indeed be playing at home, but Al Ahli is not a weak team. We can see how Al Nassr was also held to a 1-1 draw by Al Raed at home. So this match will not be easy for Ronaldo and the team.
I am quite hesitant to bet on this match. Betting on both teams to score seems better than betting on one team to win. The odds offered are indeed favorable for Al Nassr, but there are still doubts.
there is still time to think about this, maybe have to wait for some updates regarding some players who may be fielded or who cannot play.

[dezoel]

Winning every single game isn't an easy thing, plus whenever Al Nassr faces Al Hilal, they end up losing as well, which means that there is already a six points difference between those two teams if it happens again. I am not saying it will happen the same way again, getting a draw would mean a lot more, getting a win means a ton more for Al Nassr, but even with those games aside, Al Nassr doesn't win every other game, the difference is bigger.

Al Hilal looks like they are doing great, even without Neymar they are great, if Neymar could make a come back eventually that would make them even better but I think they are not counting on it at all. They already spent a lot of money on him, and they didn't get anything back so far. Ronaldo could be great, but he could finish his season without any cups yet again unfortunately, it's a sad thing for him but it is the reality and we shouldn't really expect much from him all by himself, it is not really that smart, he needs others.

He's not finished yet, it's not surprising to see him busy with streaming and playing games because he can't play football ATM, there are rumors that he should be back playing at Al-Hilal this month, but we have to be more patient waiting for his comeback, because there's the latest information that he will only be able to play again for Al-Hilal at the end of this year. It's still too soon for us to imagine him playing for Santos, it could happen, but not for the next 2 - 3 years.

[bitgolden]

I honestly believe if you put Ronaldo into Al Hilal, they would be even better. Ronaldo is the least of Al Nassr's worries, it's clear that they are not doing that well and they need other players, looking at their squad most of them are not playing that greatly and they are not doing that well, Ronaldo is the only one that is giving them something.

Dude managed to score his 900th goal as well, and he is on the way to go for 1000 goals as well, lets see what will happen. He can keep scoring like this for maybe a few more seasons, if he does that then 1000 goals is not out of question.

Obviously he is very old now, but he is still scoring, so I do not really know how he can continue, normally he should have been much worse right now, but he is not, so the idea that he can play 3 more seasons is insane, but also looking at how he scores at this age is insane too, so I can't really say if he will do fine or not. If he does go for three more seasons (two more after this) then 1000 goals is totally possible. Obviously that would also be world cup as well, and a lot of other national games as well, so he would be playing nearly 40-50 games each year, scoring 30 goals on each shouldn't be impossible for him, he could do that.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Maybe Neymar still has to do a lot of training sessions to recover his ability because he was absent for a very long time more than 1 season so it is not easy for Al Hilal to use which will later make him injured again if he is not really fit, Al Hilal already has the best players in it so even if they do not use Neymar their performance will be fine. But what is very unfortunate if Al Hilal crosses out Neymar from the list of players again Al Hilal seems to have wasted their money of 90 million euros and Neymar is only contracted for 2 seasons which means next season his contract has expired.

Although Ney is a very good player, very big , I think he still Needs 1 year of recovery and it's a shame , that's what I heard on one of the news on the Band channel in Brazil , that makes me sad because Ney is a very good player , in fact he's the only one who still has the Joga Bonito , and well that's what the club saw, of course it's not a bad deal for the player , for the club it's like taking the hair off a cat Because those clubs have too much money to throw at the ceiling , they are capable of doing with their money to eliminate hunger from the world , so it's not a bad thing either, what I want is to see when Ney recovers and I can see him play for the Brazilian national team , Which has had many problems.

[Leviathan.007]

it is true that Al Nassr has no problem scoring goals, but on the contrary, their defense is quite weak. last season we saw that the number of goals scored by Al Nassr and Al Hilal was not much different. but Al Nassr conceded quite a lot.
if Al Nassr wants to compete for the trophy this season, they should have evaluated last season. and now they have to do better. not only focus on collecting points, but they could also lose by goal difference. and that would be very painful for them.

Competitive race for the SPL title this season would be entertaining for everyone, especially the supporters. Al Nassr are strong enough but consider them on the other hand, they need to make crucial upgrades for better chances of winnings, not in league games but in finals against Al Hilal. Al Nassr have problem and fixing them should be their priority. Remember every club have their weaknesses and Al Nassr own is opened to their pre-eminent rival, clearly referring to Al Hilal. The Knights of Najd have huge problem and dealing them will definitely take time.

Ronaldo gives Al Nassr more star power in the SPL. However, their defence leaks. And you cant win championships by just outscoring your opponents every game. Al Hilal is the real deal. The team and game strategy are strong, and they'll exploit Al Nassr's flaws any chance they get. Al Hilal's simply the better.

Underdog stories are my favourites. With huge names and high expectations, Al Nassr are the underdogs. They need to improve. Their defence must be tightened and they must play as a team, not simply stars. The coach faces challenges. He must quickly make harsh decisions. A long, arduous season awaits Al Nassr if they dont adjust and shore up their deficiencies

Not just Ronaldo but even the whole of Saudi Arabia should tanks Ronaldo for joining this country and playing in this league because after Ronaldo joined there we saw many more superstar players playing for these teams and there were even some rumors saying Ronaldo made Al Nassr to hire some players and he contacted the players himself to made them move otherwise these players wouldn't join this team at all.
However, Al Nassr should also think about the time when they lost Ronaldo or he gets retired.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13826563/Neymars-Al-Hilal-return-delayed-two-months-Brazilian-failed-medical-tests.html

A bad news for both Neymar and Al-Hilal as it is reported that the Brazilian might not recover soon. Neymar who has always posted pictures of his training exercises dashed the hopes of his fans when his physiotherapist stated that:

Neymar’s lack of stability and confidence during jump exercises was apparent, particularly in his knee, which showed signs of weakness during landings

It is now looking like the £78million invested in Al-Hilal is going down the drain. That's the problem with some ageing injury-prone players; healing usually takes a longer period.

Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal brought Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. to their team for a record fee with high expectations. However, Neymar Jr.'s injury dashed their hopes. In his current condition, it is doubtful whether he will be able to return to the field before 2025. We have read through many newspapers that although he is fully healthy, his fitness is a bit weak due to which he is not able to take the field.

Neymar Jr. left Paris to join the Saudi League, then suffered an injury in October and has been out of football ever since. It is not fair that their team has been weakened by the absence of Neymar Jr. Al Hilal may have wanted to bolster their attack with Neymar but they have failed to do so at the moment. Maybe Al Helal team management still has faith in him Maybe soon the Brazilian will recover and return to the game.

Al Hilal tried to keep him in the team but there is no point in keeping him without fitness. If his condition is not good and recovery takes longer then the club will have to wait longer. Saudi clubs can keep up to eight foreign players but Neymar's uncertainty remains a problem. So will there be 9 players? If he is not fit then another player must be keep in his place.

Al Hilal is definitely a strong team. If Neymar play in this team, their strength would have increased. But the Brazilian striker is unlikely to be available before next year. The coach of the club, Jorge Jesus has observed Neymar's condition and prepared the team without him. The team will congratulate him once again when he returns from injury.

What Al Hilal is doing right now is like still hoping for Neymar recovery. While Neymar needs a very long time to really recover from his injury and on the one hand the injury that Neymar experienced will not be able to fully recover and will recur more often.
Who knows what Al Hilal is thinking until now still believing in Neymar return and if it is only to attract Neymar fans so that Al Hilal has increased traffic, it seems unnecessary. I am not sure whether Al Hilal will continue to maintain the player because I am more sure that in the coming season, Neymar will likely have to leave Al Hilal.

I don't know whether this is good news or bad news. Because before the season started, there was actually news circulating about Neymar who was training with the club's coaching staff which made a lot of news saying that he might be able to play this September. But it seems that the latest news states that Neymar will be absent for longer because his knee has not fully recovered. and it takes two months to heal completely. And I hope that in December Neymar can actually return to the field. Because I'm sure many of us want to see this player back playing on the field after a season we didn't see him. But when he returns to the field, maybe he won't immediately show his best performance again. Because he definitely needs time to readjust his skills in the field.

AL Nassr is a team that doesn't want to win any trophy this season or any time soon, if AL Nassr team is ready to win a trophy the team will have to sign more players like the way AL Hilal is signing more players, AL Hilal is the best team in Saudi Arabia league and they will keep winning trophies every season, AL Hilal have good squad than AL Nassr but AL Nassr are not even of signing any player, AL Hilal is going to the Europe and sign player's that are young and talented so that they will keep dominating the league but AL Nassr is just watching and keep believe that Ronaldo can help them to win a trophy.

We all know that Ronaldo is one the best players in the world and he has helped every team that he played in but he will have a good partner that can also perform well to help him to play well on the field, every game Ronaldo has played this season in Saudi league he score but after he scores the teammate will not perform well and allow the opponents to be scoring goals against them and win, With the way I'm seeing things Ronaldo can not win a trophy in Saudi league.

The news is correct but the next 2 months for Neymar's recovery is only estimation from medical staffs with their assessments on a latest medical test on Neymar. However, with recovery process there are many uncontrollable factors and we already saw many players suddenly got a new injury during the process or shortly after first matches after their returns.

Let's wish Neymar the best because it's enjoyable to see he on field with his great skills. I know his time on field is counting down and he soon will be like other Brazilian players who lost their best physical forms after passing 30s.

We can only pray and hope that he can recover quickly and most importantly, I hope that he will no longer experience injuries after he recovers. Because there are quite a lot of stories of players getting injured again after they recovered from previous injuries. Luckily Neymar is not as old as Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi. He is still 32 years old and I think he still has a long way to go. Neymar is currently still missed, not only by us in the SPL but also by the Brazilian national team. Because after all, he is still needed not only at Al-Hilal but also in the national team.

Ronaldo moving to SPL side, Al Hilal and Messi for the MLS side, Inter Miami, the atmosphere in Europe is not longer the same. Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi, we're finally coming to end of an epic era for these GOATs in the modern age football. Ronaldo and Messi made football competitive and entertaining. Perhaps both of them are not playing in Europe, excluding themselves out for other ambitious moves does mean something.

Neymar is one of the player that catches good vibes and been with him is always entertaining and fun. He is seen as a prince that never became a King. He's one of the best player with enchanced footings on the ball, I admired his style of play but due to his high tension vulnerability to injuries, he's absolutely not hanging in the proper balance for Al Hilal.
