Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

The way Al Nassr lost, was a humiliating one after spending that much on players. They were clearly the better team, and yet they still failed to win. That is the problem they have, even when they are the better team, they lose, and they can't afford to do that much. Ronaldo lost the chance to get one more cup, and it is really not looking good, been years since he got one, they got one on his first year and nothing after that.

A Nassr losing the Supercup to Al Ahli Jeddah was something i didn't see coming regardless that Al Ahli Jeddah is also a strong team because when i saw how they performed in their preseason games i was having some kind of mixed feelings if Al Nassr can win them. Like i always say, penalty is more of luck so Al Ahli Jeddah was the lucky team to have conquered through a penalty shoot out. Cristiano Ronaldo tried his best and put his team ahead by scoring in the first half but Al Ahli equalized the score before halftime and even when Al Nassr scored again in the second half, Al Ahli Jeddah still equalized it in the die minutes so they were literally more determined to win the Supercup than Al Nassr.

I really do hope that for his mental sake, they finally win something this year. Like if you were to compare the teams, I would say they actually have a chance to win this season, the whole league, they are good enough to make that happen. I can't see that right now though if they play like this.

Hmmm, i don't really comprehend what you are saying here because i can't figure out how not winning anymore trophy at Al Nassr will become a mental problem for Cristiano Ronaldo because this is a player that have won many titles in his football career. I think the target of Cristiano Ronaldo will be how he can break record of reaching 1000 career goals before his retirement. Sure, Al Nassr have all it takes to win a title this season but we shouldn't forget that there are also other strong teams in the league who are also looking forward to win the title this season so there will be a tough competition in the Saudi Professional League this season.

The Super Cup final was a chance for Hong Kong fans to see SPL teams in action in their country. Al Nassr had more supporters in the stadium. Cristiano scored his 100th goal for Al Nassr but Al Ahli became Super Cup champions. Al Ahli beat Al Nassr 5-3 in the penalty shootout.

Hong Kong fans got to see the SPL teams in action in their home country through the Super Cup final match, but we saw that Ronaldo had the most fans in that match. Maybe all the expectations were around this player because he managed to complete his century of goals for this SPL team but he could not bring the team a prestigious title like the Super Cup again. It may have been obvious to everyone that this year's Asian Champions League winners were a formidable opponent for Al-Nassr, yet the Portuguese star managed to adapt well to the team. It is also very exciting that the Jeddah-based team has managed to win their second Super Cup final, still the question remains as to why despite all his struggles, Ronaldo was unable to lift the Super Cup trophy against Al-Ahli.

Not that they were the better but it's just that Al Nassr might have underestimated them. These guys are not better than Al Littihad that Al Nassr beat before proceeding to the finals. Al Nassr to me didn't take the match seriously the way they played against Al Littihad even with a man down for 75 minutes.

Considering the money Al Nassr has spent, this failure is truly embarrassing. They brought in many players, but they neglected to bring in experienced defenders and goalkeepers. Al Nassr's defeat to Al Ahli was due to Al Nassr's lack of a world-class goalkeeper. While their squad does have experienced and talented players, Al Nassr lacks a strong goalkeeper to secure the defensive area. Therefore, they need to recruit an experienced goalkeeper and a strong defender.

I find Ronaldo very unfortunate for failing to win another trophy. He has lost three finals, two of which were on penalties, one in regulation time. He has even scored in each final, but it hasn't been enough to help his team win the title because Al Nassr lacks a strong defense and an experienced goalkeeper. This can be seen when Al Ahli is behind, but they always manage to come back, ultimately leading to a penalty shootout. Al Nassr still has time to improve the team and put this failure behind them and focus on the league so that at the end of the season they can win the SPL trophy.

[arabspaceship123]

Can you say a name of another football player who is known in the world more than Cristiano? He is the giant name in football. He has more social media followers than any other football player. Al Nassr signed Cristiano because he was going to make them famous. Al Ahli will celebrate the win in Hong Kong. They are Super Cup champions.

I don't understand if it's Ronaldo curse not to win any trophies again because he has being missing out of these opportunity. He did all his best again in this game and even scored yet Al Nassr has failed to win another trophy and this point, it's time for the owners to revisit their strategy in buying players because it look lile they're not having any success from the players that they're buying. I think the owners should invest more into youngsters and no more older players as they have being doing. Those players are only after the money and not to win trophies and that's what the club needs right now.

Al-Nassr lost the penalty shootout, allowing Al-Ahli to win this competition. Congratulations to Al-Ahli.

Al Ahly denied Ronaldo his second official trophy, and honestly, I felt disappointed about that. With the kind of players Al Nassr has now, I didn't expect them to lose in this Saudi Super final. I know Al Ahly is also a strong team, and both teams showed equal performance, but I had high expectations for Al Nassr to win this match. However, it ended in a penalty shootout, and Al Nassr's weakness in midfield affected their game. The absence of Sadio Mané also contributed to their loss. Cristiano Ronaldo put in effort to help the team win this trophy, but luck wasn't on their side but that's football, hard luck to them.

Congratulations to Al Ahli for winning the Saudi super cup but for Ronaldo and his Al Nasr team it was bad luck for them because looking at the game they performed very well but they have to know that Al Ahli was also a good team and they came with their game plan too and it worked out for them better luck for Ronaldo and Al Nasr

Al-Ahli Saudi  football team performance was very excellent in the last match as they did excellent job by doing penalties in this match and we 3 successful penalties by that team and that team won the match by these penalties. The stats of Al-Ahli Saudi  looked very weak in this match as they could not play well in this match.  The shots of that team were less in this match which were 8 and only 2 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was only 38 percent in this match and opponent team performance was very good in case of stats and their passes were more in number and players gave hundred percent to win this match and but they were unlucky in this match and could not handle the pressure of the last goal and lost the game in the end.

It was a balanced game in which Al Nassr dominated possession. They were just unlucky to concede the second goal in the 88th minute. The game went to penalties. We all know that penalties are a scenario in which it is difficult to predict who will win. I don't see any reason for much concern because this is an insignificant trophy. The most important thing is that they can win the Saudi league. I believe that with this current squad and the new coach, Jorge Jesus, it is possible that Al Nassr can win the Saudi league this season or another.

I know this trophy isn't significant, but winning it would still be an achievement for Al Nassr. I believe Al Nassr will also regret losing it too, I'm just a fan and if I remembered how Ronaldo is contributing to see this club to succeed especially for this season I used to feel bad as they didn't win this Saudi Super Cup final. Al Ahly had an easy win against Al Qadsiah in the semi-final, but things got tough against Al Nassr. They struggled, and managed to equalize, and were lucky enough to win in the penalty shootout. Penalty shootouts are one of the most challenging aspects of football, where every player can miss, and Al Nassr were unlucky to qualify. Despite that, Al Nassr showed great effort in the match, and I'm confident they'll be strong contenders for the Saudi Professional League title this season.

Liverpool paid £64M to buy Nunez but they sold him for to Al Hilal for £46M. Liverpool lost money on his transfer fee. Nunez is a good striker he can score goals in the SPL. Al Nassr beat them in the Super Cup semi but Al Hilal will be a strong team for the SPL season.

You're right, bringing in Nunez will certainly give Al Hilal a sharper front line next season. But I don't think that guarantees Al Hilal will be crowned champions again in the Saudi Arabian League. Currently, Al Hilal's rivals in the Saudi Arabian League appear much stronger. Take Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, and Al Nasr, for example. I believe these three teams are currently performing at Al Hilal's level, and could even be better. So, even if Al Hilal manages to bring in Nunez, they still have to work harder to become champions in the Saudi Arabian League.

Because relying on just one player won't allow a team to perform optimally. Furthermore, we don't know what Nunez's performance will be like at Al Hilal. While he may have performed quite well at Liverpool, because he's had teammates who have been a good fit for him. But at Al Hilal, he'll certainly need to adapt further to perform well. So, with that in mind, I don't think there's any certainty that Al Hilal will dominate again next season, just because they managed to sign Nunez.



Furthermore, in their first match, Al Hilal will face Al Riyadh. I think this match will be easy for Al Hilal. So, we'll see how it turns out in a few days.

There will be wins and losses in the game, it is very natural. But that does not mean that I think it is not humiliating to lose. Because Real Madrid spends a lot of money on their players but they are not in good form at the moment. Real Madrid has won many matches and Madrid has been in a bad situation against teams that are much lower than them. But Al Nasr could not do anything good and even though they are a very good team, they still could not do anything very good. It is never possible to say what will happen in the game. Maybe Al Nasr was not in good form in this match.

Considering how terrible he was when he played there, I think losing that much is nothing, compared to sending him to some European team. If Liverpool tried to find a team around the European teams to sell him to, then they wouldn't get a dime more than 20 million. They got lucky that some Arabian team was willing to pay that much money for him, because he certainly doesn't worth that much.

In any case, Nunez did play there for many years, meaning they did not lose that much per season if you think about it. They now have a lot better players instead, and should be able to score a lot easier. Nunez missed so many goals, their wingers were higher scorers. The really hurtful one for Liverpool will be Diaz who went to Bayern, he was actually good and not terrible like Nunez.

[Gallar]

What a crazyness to see a guy with 37 years being champion of football..... as a coach. I mean he is younger than most of us, and he is most younger than a lot of active footballers, i super crazy to see this kind of things, for example Cristiano Ronaldo is 4 years more older than him.

Congratulations to him anyways.

If you're referring to Al Ahli's coach, Matthias Jaissle, I'm truly impressed with him. He's truly a young football coach. He's only 37 years old now, and he was 35 when he was first appointed. So, he's truly a very young coach. Despite his youth, he's already led Al Ahli to victory in the Asian Champions League and the Saudi Super Cup. He's truly accomplished quite a bit at his relatively young age compared to most coaches. He's probably aiming to lead Al Ahli to victory in the Saudi Arabian League. It's been a long time since Al Ahli won a league title.

If Al Ahli wins the Saudi Arabian League this season, I think it would be a perfect opportunity. Al Ahli's achievements are currently on the rise. Furthermore, as far as I know, the last time Al Ahli won the Saudi Arabian League was in the 2015-2016 season, or more precisely, a decade ago. That's quite a long time ago, so I think Al Ahli will aim for that goal this season. Given their current situation, I think they have a pretty good chance of winning the Saudi Arabian League trophy.

What we've become accustomed to is older managers. I'm against this. Young managers with footballing intelligence can also achieve success. We can give Xabi as an example. Despite his age, he won the Bundesliga championship and reached the Europa League final. He also had a very good playing career. This means he has a good technical understanding of these matters. He's currently managing Real Madrid and could achieve success again at a young age.

Al Hilal owners know Benzema is at his retirement age. The team has to score goals from other players and new strikers. Liverpool tried to help Nunez but he could not score or assist for his team. He had to leave Liverpool for his career. He is a good striker who will be happy in the SPL because he gets 3x his Liverpool salary.

SPL is improving because of the European players. They train and practice more than previous, they are becoming professional athletes who can beat European teams cup games. Players like Nunez improve the quality of the SPL.

Al-Nassr was a better team than Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr had more chances to win the final match but unfortunately Al-Nassr could not win that match. They lost it was an unexpected result for them so they will not stop here but they will have to move forward with a plan to do better in the new season and do better in the new tournament. Al-Nassr is not the only team who lost this tournament despite being the favorite but we have seen this several times in the Champions League or European League finals. Last season, PSG lost to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final which was really surprising but it had to be accepted because Chelsea performed much better than PSG on the field. However, I still expect Al-Nassr to do well going forward.

[Solokan]

The Saudi Arabian League will kick off in two days, and it's sure to be incredibly exciting, as all teams will be eager to win the trophy. I certainly hope many teams will surprise us, for example, teams considered weak but showing strong performances this season and competing with the stronger clubs. Which team do you think will surprise us?

Al Nassr, Ittihad, Al Hilal, Al Qadisiyah, and Al Ahli. I believe these five clubs have the potential to compete fiercely, and the upcoming season's matches will certainly be even more exciting and entertaining. However, I want to see Al Nassr win a trophy next season to make Al Nassr and Ronaldo fans happy. Do you also want to see Al Nassr win a trophy next season?

Al Nassr's defeat to Al Ahli in the Saudi Super Cup certainly disappointed many. Indeed, the funds spent on bringing in new players are certainly enormous. For some reason, Al Nassr always struggles to win trophies, even though their players have been leaving one by one, leaving only the players retained by Al Nassr and their new players.

Sometimes I start to think the same way, seeing Al Nassr's mentality is certainly not good, and their shooting accuracy is sometimes inaccurate. Indeed, if Al Nassr continues like this, I think it will certainly be difficult for Al Nassr to become champions. Al Nassr's current rivals are certainly very strong teams. This will certainly require Al Nassr to work hard if they want to win trophies. But honestly, I hope Jorge Jesus quickly improves Al Nassr so that Al Nassr can win the title next season.

In someway i agree with you but i also dont know if is 100% correct the statement about young coachs, the main thing aside of tactics on modern football is the thing of control the behavior and feelings of the players, the psicological part is today more important than a lot of others and young guys maybe cant have all the background necesary to knew what they have to do.

[Jatiluhung]

Furthermore, in their first match, Al Hilal will face Al Riyadh. I think this match will be easy for Al Hilal. So, we'll see how it turns out in a few days.

Well, Al Hilal doesn't seem to have any trouble in that match. Squads coached by Inzaghi usually start the season well, because that's Inzaghi. Inzaghi always managed to get Inter Milan off to a good start at Inter Milan, so I'm sure he'll be able to do the same at Al Hilal.

Al Hilal is fortunate to have a coach as good as Inzaghi. I never imagined Inzaghi would come to this club after leaving Inter Milan. I even followed him here.
