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.

Al -Nassr is a strong team but they still failed to score and brought a new cup. I think this is the reason if you think you are strong then being strong is not enough. The process of learning and being more better should never be stopped. Because the chances of being better always depends on the potential of the one who wants to be go on the side of perfection. The Al-Nassr needs to emphasis on their defense line because this is the thing which truly leads them towards  betterment. Because the presence of the most experienced and talented player Cristiano Ronaldo was not worked in the favour of the team. So I think the team has no such issues to bringing some new players to make their defense system more strong.

The match between Al Hilal and Al Riyadh is going to start tomorrow, Al Hilal is a much stronger and better team than Al Riyadh, so the success of Al Hilal's victory in this match between them is definitely the highest, there is about 90% chance that Al Hilal will win this match, and I think they will win the match with a huge goal difference. If we think about last season, Al Riyadh was the 11th team in the point table and Al Hilal was in the second place, now let's see how they perform in the match, I will definitely be in favor of Al Hilal.

That's what Al Nassr needs. They don't need to regret what they've been through. Jorge Jesus as Al Nassr's coach doesn't actually need a lot of praise. What he has done has had a positive impact on his team, which has made it to the final. However what he needs is a new tactic that can improve the team so that it can play even better. The defense is something that Al Nassr needs to pay special attention to and fix immediately. If they manage to plan their team composition carefully, it should have a very positive impact on the team's performance in future matches, unlike in the past. So I think they don't need to worry about praise, improvement should be their main focus. And maybe they need to revamp their back line, which could be replaced with players who are more capable in the defense. Meanwhile the other lines have performed quite well contributing more to the team. The attack line has also been excellent led by Cristiano Ronaldo along with his teammates. I personally think Al Nassr needs to be serious about realizing that they need to fix the mistakes just a part of their team. So that this team does not experience continuous technical errors as the same mistake as before.

You are right that the attack has been working its way. Ronaldo continues to score (100th club goal + scoring in the shootout). Félix and Coman brought in $64.65m worth of creativity. But, Al Nassr conceded in the 45+6' and 89'... literally the "championship minutes" where elite teams lock down games. Jorge Jesus kept pressing high with 30+ year-old CBs (Martínez 34, Laporte 31) and then subbed like-for-like at 78' and 86' instead of bringing on a DM/3rd CB to close the 82' lead. Then, corner, Bento comes out and flaps, 2–2

People forget: they spent big on the attack, while the only "reinforcement" in defense was Martínez on a free. Meanwhile, Al Hilal dropped €25m on defenders and look how balanced they look. So there is nothing wrong with applauding Jesus, but unless they lower the line or shuffle the squad (and maybe push youth like Salem Al-Najdi, 22, into the rotation), they will continue to perform this movie: sterile possession, even xG/shot (0.143 vs 0.144) and lapses that cost trophies

When Al Nassr managed to defeat Ittihad FC even with only 10 players, everyone thought that the final match against Al Ahli would not be too difficult for Al Nassr. In that match, Al Nassr performed quite well, creating many scoring opportunities, but unfortunately, they were unable to maximize those opportunities and convert them into goals. In terms of ball possession and number of attacks, Al Nassr had the upper hand, but towards the end of the match, their consistency always declined, which prevented them from maintaining their lead in both the first and second halves.

On the other hand, I never expected CR7 to perform a somersault in that match, although it was unfortunate that the ball was still saved by the goalkeeper. In that match, CR7 scored his 100th goal for Al Nassr. A new record, making him the only player to have scored more than a hundred goals for every club he has ever played for.

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.

It was a very tense match. I think Al Nassr should have had a better chance of winning here, because their squad seemed to dominate the game, but what can you do? It's all over now and the final result is clear. Honestly, this is sad for Al Nassr fans, their favorites failed to win another trophy. Hopefully in the future, Cristiano Ronaldo and his squad will have the opportunity to appear in the final and win the match.

Al-Ahli Saudi football team won the final of the  tournament as both teams did 2, 2 goals in this match and no team could do 3 goals in this match and after that match was depended on penalties and we saw great effort by players of Al-Ahli Saudi football team because their score was 5 at the end of the match. Ibañez gave tough time in this match because he did goal at 88 minutes of the match when it was requirement of team because before that goal score of that team was only 1 and match was decided at penalties.But stats of Al-Ahli Saudi football team was not impressive because they could not do excellent in the shots and their passes were low in the match against Al-Nassr football team but they won due to good luck .

If we think about last season, Al Riyadh was the 11th team in the point table and Al Hilal was in the second place, now let's see how they perform in the match, I will definitely be in favor of Al Hilal.

I also put Al Hilal in my parlay even with these very low odds of @ 1.11, I don't know why they are exaggerating like that, I say exaggerating because as it is the first game of the league, the teams tend not to be in their best physical condition, so they make some mistakes, and you can't look at the opponent's performance last season and think that it will be the same for this season too

it may be that they have also improved, so at least after the first game you could have an idea of ​​​​what state they really are in, that is, these very low odds in favor of Al Hilal would make much more sense if they were given in the second round game if Al Hilal had won some equity in the first round game and Al Riyadh had lost in the first round game

Because the presence of the most experienced and talented player Cristiano Ronaldo was not worked in the favour of the team. So I think the team has no such issues to bringing some new players to make their defense system more strong.

Al-Nassr is undoubtedly a big team in terms of players, but beyond the scoreboard, the performance on the field is also important because we will consider a team as strong and a team as weak based on their performance on the field. Al-Nassr's performance last season was not good at all, that's why they spent a lot of money in the transfer market to bring better quality players to the club, but they couldn't do well in the Arab Cup final with all those players. Ronaldo is the best player in the world and one of the most experienced players, having him in the team means having a good manager in the team, so I think Al-Nassr's performance should have been better in the final match. However, we have to forget what happened and start the new season well and finish it well. If Al-Nassr cannot achieve anything good in the next season, the fans' expectations for this team will gradually decrease.

Al Nassr brought in new players such as João Félix and Kingsley Coman, and dropped some of the other players. Given this, we can expect that it will take some time to get to a proper team bonding. But overall, leading on two different occasions, and then allowing the opponents to equalize and then lose the match altogether in the penalty shootout was heart-breaking for Al Nassr. It was a good opportunity for Ronaldo to win a trophy for his club, but in the end it never happened.

[Ale88]

Football is more than money. I don't know exactly what is going on within Al Nassr but they may have some dressing room problems, maybe the alchemy among the players is not good, maybe they don't like the manager... There are a ton of different reasons. And having someone like Ronaldo in your team may be both a bless and a curse at the same time because now he is more than a player, he takes decisions for the team.

Maybe that's the problem because some players would feel  like he's giving more preferential treatment and gets jealous thereby causing dressing room problems for the team am just saying though cause I might be wrong, money is not a problem for Al-Nassr, they just need a coach that can manage the team and put them to order.

I always got the impression that Al Nassr is too Ronaldo-centric while the other teams that have many very good players but no real super stars (like Ronaldo) simply play more as an actual team, helping each other. In Al Nassr everything has to go through Ronaldo who, let's not forget, even owns 15% of the club. It's quite a unique situation.

In that match, CR7 scored his 100th goal for Al Nassr. A new record, making him the only player to have scored more than a hundred goals for every club he has ever played for.

Cristiano Ronalo knows that he is no longer young and strong enough to play well in top leagues in Europe so Saudi Professional League is a perfect choice for him. He can receive many things there from lucractive salary, many appearances for the club, chance of scoring many goals, and surely can prolong his career there in a less competitive league.

Al Nassr brought in new players such as João Félix and Kingsley Coman, and dropped some of the other players. Given this, we can expect that it will take some time to get to a proper team bonding. But overall, leading on two different occasions, and then allowing the opponents to equalize and then lose the match altogether in the penalty shootout was heart-breaking for Al Nassr. It was a good opportunity for Ronaldo to win a trophy for his club, but in the end it never happened.

Al-Nassr made those transfers as part of their club development in this season and also for long term future. I believe that they realized that players like Cristiano Roanldo and Mane are no longer young especially Ronaldo so that Al-Nassr must prepare replacements on those old players by new and younger players. Hence, they found solutions and replacements with Joao Felix and Kingsley Coman.

They are younger and have longer remaining career than Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, and they are more useful for Al-Nassr in the future even they are not world class super star players like Ronaldo and Mane. For a long term development strategy of the club, Felix and Coman can have very considerable contributions for this club.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo's team has a higher chance of winning, in this match, most gamblers basically bet on Ronaldo's favorite. But gambling is basically based on luck, just like winning a football game has gone against Ronaldo's luck, Cristiano Ronaldo lost this match and suffered a huge blow. Because he is a hard-working player on the field, but this match will basically be history for the whole world. Losing on penalties is basically a stroke of luck, the victory was not lucky for Cristiano Ronaldo, which is why Al-Ahli won.

Last night, United lost against a fourth division team that they had 1.15 odds to win. Football is always a bit risky when you are betting and there are games like that which teams lose sometimes, even when they are favourites.

Al Nassr was the favourites in this game, not as much as 1.15 obviously, but at 1.70 levels and that is why it's normal for people to lose. That is why we do not just get rich by betting on favourites all game, that would be easy and we would all be wealthy right now. Sometimes, it's normal for this to happen, but in some cases, Al Nassr needs to really think what the yare doing wrong, because it's getting more common, they keep losing or getting a draw in games that they should be winning and that's not normal.

It was a good opportunity for Ronaldo to win a trophy for his club, but in the end it never happened.

It was truly a heart-breaking moment for Al Nassr fans and  particularly Cristiano Ronaldo who inspite of all his efforts to win his first ever trophy for Al Nassr was ended up becoming unproductive . At first Al Nassr was leading in terms of goal,ball possessions and passes but still they couldn't defend their positions against Al-Ahli that succeeded in  penetrating Al Nassr defense to equalize the game. That mistake of allowing Al-Ahli to equalize the game was what robbed Cristiano Ronaldo of his victory and celebration of winning his first trophy for Al Nassr. Well It is not yet over for Cristiano Ronaldo who hasn't given up on his quest to win his first trophy in the Saudi league.

[SatoPrincess]

It was a disappointing final for Al-Nassr. Al-Ahli won the final, while Cristiano Ronaldo was heartbroken. I think the title race will be intense in the Saudi Arabian pro league this year. Al-Ahli is also showing a good performance in the preseason. Along with Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, there are four teams that could be in Al-Ittihad.

Indeed it was so disappointing and I was rooting for Al Nassr to lift the trophy at the end of that game, however they played very well and at a point I felt it was over already but somehow Al Hilal kept coming back by equalizing twice in the game and sealed the victory in penalty shootout. I will urge the team to keep their heads up and keep working harder this season could be a better one and they could win trophies.

Five different teams, with 100 goals. Man United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr now and the Portugal national team.

Apparently he wasn't good enough and didn't stay long enough to do that at Lisbon, realistically, if he left right now, and went to Lisbon and started every game as striker there, he could literally finish where he started, have his first goal for them and his 1000th goal for them, while reaching 100 goals for them too. That would be actually pretty sweet, a great story to talk about in the future.

But obviously he is not going to, he already penned a deal with Al Nassr for all season.

So far his official goal number is 939, which means he has 61 goals left, and we all know he can't score that much this season, that's a lot, and he is too old.

But, there is a very possible chance he can do that next season. Considering he has 1 year contract with Al Nassr, he could move to some other club next year to do that.

That would be actually pretty sweet, a great story to talk about in the future.

Ronaldo while at Sporting, besides the very young age, didn't score a lot because he was playing as wing, not as a striker. The same mainly happened with Manchester United, he was supposed to replace Beckham who joined Real Madrid that same year (2003). Later on he began to play closer and closer to the strikers.

So far his official goal number is 939, which means he has 61 goals left, and we all know he can't score that much this season, that's a lot, and he is too old.

But, there is a very possible chance he can do that next season. Considering he has 1 year contract with Al Nassr, he could move to some other club next year to do that.

For me, besides money, the main reason he chose Saudi Arabia is because he can still play every single match, no matter the age. He is like a king there, he can do whatever he wants, and he has plenty of time to keep scoring until he reaches 1,000 goals. He would have never played these many matches in Europe, let alone score much.

The match between Al Hilal and Al Riyadh is going to start tomorrow, Al Hilal is a much stronger and better team than Al Riyadh, so the success of Al Hilal's victory in this match between them is definitely the highest, there is about 90% chance that Al Hilal will win this match, and I think they will win the match with a huge goal difference. If we think about last season, Al Riyadh was the 11th team in the point table and Al Hilal was in the second place, now let's see how they perform in the match, I will definitely be in favor of Al Hilal.

Al Hilal is the favourite to win this match; they are better than Al Riyadh, and any time they meet, Al Hilal always defeats them; Al Hilal's current squad is better than any team in the Saudi Pro League; they have good players who have played well in Europe, and with Nzagi as Al Hilal's coach this season, Al Hilal is capable of winning the trophy; Al Hilal sign new players from different teams this season, and they spend a lot of millions to get the players, and they believe their spending will improve the team performance this season.

Darwin Nunez is Al Hilal's new striker, one of the top strikers in the Premier League. Al Nassr, Al Etihad, and other teams should be prepared this season because Al Hilal will go to anything to defeat them. I know that the remaining teams make signings and can play well, but they don’t have quality players that Al Hilal has. Al Hilal's performance has improved, and we can see by their performance in the Club World Cup.

The first half of today's Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh match is over, and in the 22nd minute of the first half, Al Hilal scored a goal, and after that, in the very last stage of the first half, i.e. in the 45'+3' minute, Al Hilal scored another goal, and their score in the first half is 2-0. Al Hilal's performance in the match is definitely very good, they are playing with a very great performance, Al Riyadh could not make any shots on target in the first half, their performance is not very good, they basically cannot survive in front of Al Hilal. Al Hilal can definitely win this match, and we are going to see Al Hilal's great form in the second half as well, and they can score more goals and win the match.

Al Hilal will definitely win today's match of the new season of the Saudi Pro League because they are already ahead,it may be true that Riyadh have never played well against this team but they performed at that level today and they are trailing 2-0. In this match between Al Hilal and Al Riyadh Football Club, all my eyes are on the Liverpool striker, the Uruguayan player has left the English Premier League and is now linked with a Saudi League team and he has already participated in his first match through this match. Last season Al Hilal managed to finish second in their league but It seems to me that this new season's campaign will start on a positive note. Darwin Nunez has joined the club from Liverpool so we want him to score at least one goal in today's SPL match.

61 goals to reach 1,000 goals may seem like a lot, but if Ronaldo can score two goals in every game this season, I think he'll achieve it before the end of his career at Al Nassr. Ronaldo's 100 goals for Al Nassr is already a remarkable achievement, considering his age. I hope he still has the ability to reach 1,000 goals this season. Although if you think about it, it won't be easy for him because this season's challenges could be different from last season.

There is no denying that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the biggest stars in soccer who is still active today. Ronaldo not only possesses extraordinary quality despite his age, but also has experience and global appeal. His move to Al Nassr is a source of pride for the club, and his presence also helps raise the profile of the Saudi Pro League on the global stage. However, it is important to understand that Ronaldo is not a superhero who can do everything alone. The team cannot rely solely on him, there must be good teamwork to create winning moments in every match.
