Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

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.

I don't think so, Cristiano already fits Al-Nassr, remember that Cristiano has a big ego and that doesn't fit Al-Hilal's philosophy, look at Al-Hilal, even if they only have Mitrovic in the front line, they can still talk a lot with their performance. In fact, I'm sure they will take the SPL title again this season.

IMO, if Cristiano is at Al-Hilal, it will burden the team with his old age and declining performance. You can see the current top scorer in the SPL, the top one is Mitrovic and not Cristiano.

in the 2022-2023 season, Ronaldo was the highest goal scorer in the soudi pro league with a whooping  33 goals in just 31 games plays.  Aleksandar Mitrovic only scored 26 goals which means that Ronaldo was 8 goals ahead of him.  Even in the last season, Ronaldo still beat Aleksandar Mitrovic in terms of numbers of goals and total contribution in the soudi pro league. Note that Ronaldo is 10 years older than Aleksandar Mitrovic and yet he's done this for himself and his club and you're still talking about him being arrogant. Remember that what makes Ronaldo who he his and what has helped him grow to this extent is because of the self motivation he constantly gives himself. Any team that can't cope with his personality shouldn't go for him and that's the same reason why it appears as though he struggled when he went back to Manchester United. From all indication, after his time at Al Nasir, he's likely going to retire from professional football and I doubt he will want to consider making a move to Al Nasir.

Give most of the players that are at Al hilal 35 years and see if they will perform close to what Ronaldo is still doing at 39. Obviously age has not been on his side and it's why he has not been too aggressive in front of goals like the prime Ronaldo but even at that, he still manages to score goals as though he's as young as any young players his prime. The result Ronaldo still have at his old age, a lot of players can't even measure up to at thier prime.

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.

Al Hilal signed Neymar mainly because of the publicity it will bring to the club and the league. I am saying this because they already know that he was an injury-prone player before he was bought. He was brought with a serious injury. Maybe they thought he wouldn't have had such a long injury, but they took a risk. Due to his long absence from football, his fans have continued to reduce, so the club is not benefiting anything from publicity or traffic. But they have to pay him about £600,000 per week, that's expensive for a playing that is doing nothing for the club. The club will gladly let him leave if he fails to recover and return back to full time action.      

I agree with the same idea. World's biggest star players are being brought into the club to increase the recognition. It was the continuation of this that Neymar was also brought in so that all eyes were on the Saudi league. But even if the intention of the familiar is successful, they are not getting Neymar in the game. The oft-injured player suffered a major setback in October last year from which he will need much more time to recover. Al Hilal have not been able to properly implement any opportunities with him at the club and there are doubts that he will be available in the future. I will agree that after paying this much money if it doesn't work then you can remove him and take over the club management.

The time when Al Hilal hired Neymar he was injured and he couldn't play for weeks in PSG but still they paid too much money to this player to have Neymar in Al Hilal while as you said he gets 600K per week but they didn't see anything from this player na he was usually out of the good form. But the good thing about Neymar was the attention they got.
After they hired Neymar in Al Hilal, they attracted too much attention from the Saudi League and this helped them a lot.

Even regarding the issue of attention, Neymar has a lot of followers on social media, he is always involved in controversies which attracts attention to him, but not to the club. And when you look at very important things like the salaries of all the Al Hilal players, you see shocking things:



https://www.sportysalaries.com/2024/09/al-hilal-sfc-players-salaries-2024-25.html

Neymar is earning a lot of money, he even earned much more than Aleksandar Mitrović, who is a player who currently helps the team much more than Neymar. The Arabs' decisions don't make sense. For example, I saw news that Al Hilal didn't register Neymar for the Saudi League, they will only do so in January. But they registered Neymar to play in the Asian Champions League. But it is already clear that Neymar can no longer play. I hope Al Hilal does not renew his contract in June next year.

[beerlover]

I read the latest news in my local media if Neymar is recovering in the next 2 months so he will not be absent for 1 season to recover, hopefully this is accurate news and means he can make a comeback in December so Al Hilal can use his services, it is very unfortunate if Al Hilal has bought this player at a very expensive price but wasted it he is a good player and he will also make the Al Hilal club popular if he continues to contribute to the club and will make other competitors in the Saudi League afraid because Al Hilal is getting stronger with a perfect squad.

I also think that AL Hilal is doing a good job as it is right now, they do not need any help and if Neymar makes a comeback, then he may actually ruin something that's working.

There is a saying that goes "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it" and I think Al Hilal is not broke right now, they are working and getting all the results they want for a long time now and I think if they somehow get Neymar to that team, it would not be fair to whoever is left out of the squad, because you need to remove one of the players and put Neymar in there, and I do not think that it would make sense to remove someone from a team that is getting the wins. In the end Neymar may actually hurt the team, and that's a risk they will have to take.

[kawetsriyanto]

I honestly believe if you put Ronaldo into Al Hilal, they would be even better.

In theory, with his ability, Ronaldo should make Al Hilal stronger. But sometimes a player doesn't always fit with another team. You must remember when Ibrahimovic moved to Barcelona. At that time, everyone was very confident he will strengthen Barcelona attacking power. Unfortunately, he failed because his game style wasn't suitable with Barcelona tactics. This can happen with Ronaldo as well, it is not impossible that he may not fit with Al Hilal game style or the tactics applied by Al Hilal's coach.

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.

It is amazing that Ronaldo could score more than 900 goals, it is 901 total goals now.
However, it is quite doubtful that he will score 1000 goals if he decided to retire in the next 1-2 years. I assume his chance to play with Portugal national team will be decreasing when he reaches 40 years old. Now, he is getting more often to sit on the bench, the coach tries to give a longer time to play for younger attackers.

Neymar is earning a lot of money, he even earned much more than Aleksandar Mitrović, who is a player who currently helps the team much more than Neymar. The Arabs' decisions don't make sense. For example, I saw news that Al Hilal didn't register Neymar for the Saudi League, they will only do so in January. But they registered Neymar to play in the Asian Champions League. But it is already clear that Neymar can no longer play. I hope Al Hilal does not renew his contract in June next year.

Yep, Neymar's salary is higher than Mitrović's salary. It makes sense because Neymar was a top player, Mitrović was just an average player. Before Mitrović joined Al Hilal, he is not as popular as today. It is just beyond of our expectation that Mitrović performs impressively with Al Hilal. But now, Mitrović deserves to get higher salary than Neymar. Neymar actually should get lower salary because he mostly focuses on recovery, he very rarely plays. Well, with that big injury problem, I'm sure Al Hilal won't extend Neymar's contract. It expires next year, this surely will be the last season for Neymar.

[Ahli38]

The time when Al Hilal hired Neymar he was injured and he couldn't play for weeks in PSG but still they paid too much money to this player to have Neymar in Al Hilal while as you said he gets 600K per week but they didn't see anything from this player na he was usually out of the good form. But the good thing about Neymar was the attention they got.
After they hired Neymar in Al Hilal, they attracted too much attention from the Saudi League and this helped them a lot.  

You are right. At that time he was also recovering from his injury. So he was not played at the beginning of his arrival at Al-Hilal. Because I remember the reason Al-hilal didn't play him at that time was because they wanted Neymar to be in his best condition. But unfortunately, when the international break was over, Neymar went to the Brazilian national team and competed there. Well, at first he was fine. And he even returned to Al-Hilal and was able to play well with Al-Hilal in several matches. but in the next international break he went back to the national team and he received a serious injury and has been absent until now.

Al-hilal didn't get many opportunities to play Neymar at that time. But indeed the attention of the football world is focused on Al-Hilal and the SPL. And actually we can see that Al-Hilal without Neymar is fine. but the problem is that Al-hilal wants to attract more people's attention to the SPL like Al-nassr did by bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo. The difference here is that we see Al-nassr actually becoming quite dependent on the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. Because when Cristiano Ronaldo is absent, it turns out that Al-nassr always experiences a fairly clear decline in performance.

[Moreno233]

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.

I don't think so, Cristiano already fits Al-Nassr, remember that Cristiano has a big ego and that doesn't fit Al-Hilal's philosophy, look at Al-Hilal, even if they only have Mitrovic in the front line, they can still talk a lot with their performance. In fact, I'm sure they will take the SPL title again this season.

How you come to the conclusion of the ego aspect of Cristiano is what still baffles me because what you call ego is actually self confidence to me. Cristiano is one of the most humble and committed player I have seen. To confirm this, tell me if you have ever seen Cristiana have problem with any of his coach both in league and national team. He has always been submissive and committed, facing the business of football with passion and dedication without sentiments. I believe he will fit into any team.

There will always be debate when talking about Ronaldo's ego, I will not talk about that now, but I will talk about Ronaldo's performance with Al Nassr since he first joined. Overall he played well, but it was not supported by a very solid team game, because inevitably the overall team game will determine their performance. Now Al Nassr is very good at the front line, but when their defense is shaky, it will also be a weakness that can be exploited by the opponent. So in football we cannot see from one point of view only, but we must see from all aspects that affect the game. We also cannot just blame one player, but that is the weakness of a team as a whole.

In the end Neymar may actually hurt the team, and that's a risk they will have to take.

I don't think Neymar will ruin the team if he joins because he is actually a good player if he joins the Al Hilal squad and the combination with Alexander Mitrovic will create good cooperation, in fact for me this is unfair to Neymar because he has not felt playing with Al Hilal for a long time but he was replaced by another player he must also feel bad for the club that pays him besides he also received a lot of criticism due to the misfortune he suffered even though this was not his fault. Although currently Al Hilal is fine but we don't know what will happen in the future, maybe one of their players is injured and Neymar can be a second substitute for Al Hilal and this will be an advantage for the team besides Al Hilal also has many matches the coach can also rotate players and Neymar can enter the squad so that Al Hilal's performance remains stable until the end.

In the end Neymar may actually hurt the team, and that's a risk they will have to take.

Neymar is currently in the recovery stage after a long injury and maybe in the near future he will return to playing with Al Hillal, but in my opinion, Al Hillal doesn't need to have too much hope for Neymar in the future because after a long injury it will be difficult for a footballer to be able to show his  the best performance, I think Al Hillal should take a firm stance regarding Neymar future at Al Hillal at this time, apart from that I also think that if they continue to keep Neymar in the team it will only make them continue to spend money in vain to pay Neymar salary although he dont have contributed to the team so far, Neymar will indeed recover soon, but Al Hillal should remember that Neymar injury history is too serious and long, so it is very likely that he will suffer another injury if play and obviously that will make Al Hillal must to pay for Neymar medical costs again , firing Neymar is actually the right solution especially without Neymar, Al Hillal is still very strong and able to compete in the league so far.

[len01]

There will be several matches tomorrow, but only Al Nassr and Damac matches are easy to predict. Al Nassr are playing at home and on the one hand Ronaldo wants to score more this season. So it's easy to beat Al Ahli who are looking a little inconsistent at the moment.
And Damac has a chance to get 3 points after consecutive defeats.
Al-Okhdood should not put any pressure because this match will take place at Damac home ground.
But the only one that is difficult to predict is the Al Taawon vs Al Khaleej match. Both teams have the same performance. However, Al Taawon has a little chance when playing at home. BTTS is the best choice in this match.

Her hard work since she first made her professional debut has been recognized by several coaches who have coached her at several different clubs. And from her teammates who have also said the same thing about her although all this we know from the media reports we read.
Only with Erik ten Hag did she have a dispute and for me that is positive. Regarding ego, it is fair to say that she is too egotistical although for me that is the stance of a great player who has been recognized.

People think paying Neymar this large amount of money is painful for Al Hilal since he is injured but we can't forget that they are getting benefits from having this player in the team even if he's not paying for them but thanks to Neymar they could make some other players to join this team.
Also Al Hilal is not under pressure at all and they are still in a good financial situation to hire more superstars and expensive players for their team, Neymar is not a player to say he can even help Neymar in the next games considering the current situation he has.

I'm not sure what I mean by ego here, but that's the conclusion I can draw, he's a good player even at his old age, but that's absolutely not enough to lift Al-Nassr to the next level, they're still overshadowed by Al-Hilal there. Regarding ego, maybe you can judge that when he was still at Manchester United before going to Al-Nassr, he left Manchester United in a bad way, with all his bad words regarding the coach & the atmosphere there.

The saddest thing about all this is that when the Arabs signed Neymar, they knew he was injured and didn't play well for PSG. After he arrived in Saudi Arabia, he kept traveling to Brazil even though he was injured. So he didn't help Al Hilal's marketing at all, because Al Hilal became champions and gained more attention. I would say that the only player who really helped promote the image of the Saudi league was Cristiano Ronaldo. Unfortunately, Al Hilal wanted to copy Al Nassr because they brought Ronaldo. First, they wanted to bring Messi, but since Messi refused, they brought Neymar instead. A terrible decision.


Tomorrow there is a game

Al-Nassr - Al-Ahli

the biggest problems of the international break is that when the league games resume, the players are either injured or underperforming. Ivan Toney will probably be able to play tomorrow and perhaps he can improve Al-Ahli's attack, which in 2 games has only managed to score 2 goals and is coming off a defeat for this game. Both teams do not have very important players injured, so I assume that the Al Nassr coach will put his best attackers (Talisca, Ronaldo, Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Sadio Mane) right from the start of the game.

Al-Nassr possible starting lineup:
Bento; Al Ghanam, Alawjami, Laporte, Telles; Brozovic, Al-Khaibari; Talisca, Mane; Ronaldo

Al-Ahli possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Majrashi, Demiral, Ibanez, Alhurayji; Aljohani, Kessie; Mahrez, Firmino, Viega; Darisi

My Prediction

looking at the history involving these two teams when they play each other



https://livescores.biz/h2h/al-ahli-vs-al-nassr

Al Nassr can do better and looking at the performance of the 2 teams currently, I see Al Nassr with better performance, so I believe that Al Nassr will win the game

I started watching Cristiano Ronaldo when he was newly signed by Manchester United,  I was able to see him grow to become the global star he's today and that's why I'm always perplexed when people mistake his self-confidence for ego. Cristiano Ronaldo have always exhibited the life of humility as a footballer but one thing you can't take away from him is his ability to always defend himself as well as letting people know of his true worth.

Cristiano Ronaldo have played under different legendary football managers ranging from Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and so many others and none of them have ever described him as an "arrogant" footballer. I think some of these media outlets are responsible in  making him look like footballer with so much ego in their bid to make his biggest rival Lionel Messi look like a better footballer

That is just insane man, look at that and make a ratio of salary/contribution to the team. Is gonna look even worse for Neymar, absolute trash in this numbers. But we also ahve to say he was a magnet and without him a lot of the players that come to the team after his arrival are not gonna move if he was not there.

They have luck because Arabs doesnt seems to care so much about the money trey put in this sport.

For example, I saw news that Al Hilal didn't register Neymar for the Saudi League, they will only do so in January. But they registered Neymar to play in the Asian Champions League. But it is already clear that Neymar can no longer play. I hope Al Hilal does not renew his contract in June next year.

It was a disastrous mistake by Al Hilal and the biggest gift they could give to Neymar. This guy ruined his promising career for many years in a row and I never understood why he was pursuing the money so much obsession. He would have been a multimillionaire, if not a billionaire if he pursued his career with all his talent and passion. He would have built the Neymar brand either way. Kids around the planet admired him, he was making millions and millions per year and yet he decided to go to PSG and leave Barcelona when Messi and Suarez were still there and then he went one step further and signed a contract in Saudi Arabia. The last step I understand as his career was already down the toilet. Al Hilal should have known better. But if he tried to become the best player in the world, I think he would have made hundreds and hundreds of millions anyway in his career. Now he is disappearing into obscurity. Given what status he once had in Brazil, nothing of it is left at this point. What a waste.

About Neymar and Al Hilal, I think the Arabs are making disastrous mistakes. I tried to research how much money Al Hilal would be earning by bringing in Neymar and I couldn't find that information. The club probably isn't earning anything. Even regarding the issue of attention, Neymar has a lot of followers on social media, he is always involved in controversies which attracts attention to him, but not to the club. And when you look at very important things like the salaries of all the Al Hilal players, you see shocking things:

That is just insane man, look at that and make a ratio of salary/contribution to the team. Is gonna look even worse for Neymar, absolute trash in this numbers. But we also ahve to say he was a magnet and without him a lot of the players that come to the team after his arrival are not gonna move if he was not there.

They have luck because Arabs doesnt seems to care so much about the money trey put in this sport.

Recruiting Neymar is like Al Hillal just burning money at the moment, after they spent a lot of money to buy him from PSG previously, now Al Hillal has to bear Neymar very high salary although he has no contribution to Al Hillal at the moment, I think for now Mitrovic is the one who deserves a bigger salary because his contribution to Al Hillal is also very large compared to Neymar.
Star status  of course is a factor that makes Al Hillal must to big pay Neymar salary but if he doesn't contribute at all to the club, of course there are policies that might reduce salaries or even terminate the neymar contract.

Keeping Neymar will clearly be a big loss for them at this time, especially if we look at Al Hillal's performance and consistency so far which is quite stable even without Neymar  then should there is no reason for Al Hillal to continue to keep Neymar in the squad.
I think the attraction European players to play in the Saudi Arabian league are not because of individual players like Ronaldo or Neymar so far but because of the fantastic salaries offer so it will be difficult for every player to refuse offers coming from Al Hillal, Al Nassr or other Arab clubs at this time.
