Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Ale88]

I agree with what you said about Al Hilal. Their players are high-quality and they're a team competing for the title. They won the championship in previous years and seem to be aiming for it again this year in Saudi Arabia. I don't think they'll have any problems with the matches they play. They'll start the league smoothly. The slightly later start allows the players to rest more. In this respect, the players are fortunate. As a well-prepared and tactically sound team, Al Hilal is one of this year's most serious title contenders.

It's true that Al Hilal has good players in it so that it allows them to achieve maximum results like the last few seasons, Al Hilal always competes tightly in the Saudi League so obviously they don't want to make mistakes that make it difficult for them because clubs like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad will try to maintain their consistency to compete in the Saudi League title race so the competition might be even tighter this season because I see a different quality of Al Nassr unlike before.

Al Hilal always gave the impression to be a better built team compared to the other ones. The don't have any real superstar but they have many extremely good players in all roles. Al Nassr is all about Ronaldo, and this is both a blessing and a curse. I also like a lot Al Ahli because despite the limited amount of foreign players they obtain excellent results. To be honest at the end the most disappointing team has been Al Nassr, everybody were expecting them to win everything and they ended up with nothing.

On the other hand, Al Nassr has still failed, and that is certainly very disappointing. Many people expected Al Nassr to succeed after overhauling their squad and appointing a new manager this season. I think Jorge Jesus will have to work twice as hard to lead Al Nassr to future trophies. I think Jorge Jesus still needs to recruit new players in the defense sector, so that they don't concede goals easily and will increase their chances of winning every match.

I would say that they need a different defence, new players who put more effort into it, defence is the only source of weakness they have, on a personal level it is the only fault, and they have been carrying that fault from last season, the bad thing is that this team makes important stars like CR7 and Mané look bad, it is not worth watching them like this, I know that in football you win and lose but the faults in defence are obvious.

[virasog]

Even me I think Al Hilal is the favourite for this game, their form now is really solid,  we cannot be very certain about  what will happen on the pitch but then from the statistical record we can say for sure that they have a better chance to win the game . Qadsiah is an average team which is some sort of weak team but then even weak teams can some times turn out to be the ones to be a problem to the bigger teams so we cannot say for sure and not be too certain about  a team.

Al Qadsiah has skilled players, making them a potential strong opponent for Al Nassr. However, I believe Al Hilal will likely win because Al Qadsiah is a weaker team compared to them. Al Hilal is the most successful club in the Saudi league, and they finished second on the table last season. I know they won't play their matches with any clubs this season to preserve the lead, but there are other clubs that strongly want to win this trophy this year, especially Al Nassr and Al Ahly.

Al Qadsiah will take on Al Hilal on 13th September. In the current Saudi Pro League, both these teams have won a single match that they have played. Al Qadsiah beat Al-Najma SC 3 - 1 while  Al Hilal beat Al-Riyadh by 2-0. They played a confident game and i think they stand a better chance in this match too. Moteb Al-Harbi and Malcom are the players to watch from Al Hilal. Both of them score a goal each in the opening game. Although they are in fifth position on the points table, they will be in the top 2 as the tournament progresses.

As a well-prepared and tactically sound team, Al Hilal is one of this year's most serious title contenders.

I completely agree with you that there is no second opinion about what Al-hilal is holding in  the Saudi Arabia League.  Al-hilal is a strong and capable team who are always in the way to get more. They have the most eligible players and obviously the success and the good will do only if you have the talented players. But they are the most sophisticated as well on a serious note. So I think their management is also playing their best role. In fact Al- Hillal is contributing more in to develop other teams by seeing their potential. Al-Nassr has significant and valuable changes in this season as they are trying to have the best titles. Because these prominent changes in Al-Nassr are new as they were never seen in previous seasons. And the same contribution is also visible from Al-ittihad as they are also trying to have the best.

Aleksandar Mitrovic's transfer to Al Rayyan has actually been realized based on the information (Source). I think every new coach has their own perspective on tactics and how they manage a team or even change the playing style of some players, where this situation also has its own perspective for each player. And some of them may even feel uncomfortable as in the case of Mitrovic. Indeed Mitrovic has also made many great contributions through his contributions, where he has scored 68 goals and provided 15 assists in 79 games while at Al Hilal and even he has also helped the team win many trophies. However it seems that Inzaghi is more interested in Nunez's style of play, which may be more suited to Inzaghi's plans for the team. So I think every coach has their own way of making decisions to strengthen the team they manage. We may understand this plan better once a few matches have been played. So that way we can determine whether his decisions were right or wrong in each action.

They acquired Nunez this summer, who is a great player for their level. Sure there were moments when Nunez wasn't considered the best at Liverpool, that is true, but he is still a huge addition to Al Hilal. After they already got someone like Nunez, there were no needs for Mitrovic to stay, that never made sense. He would obviously be not needed at all, and that is why they ended up with a much better deal eventually by selling him.

Al Hilal once again look very strong, last year losing made them unhappy obviously, and that is why they are looking to make the squad strong again and give it another chance. I honestly feel sad for Al Nassr and Ronaldo, because they once again look like not the best team in the league, and have a very tough road ahead.

[Jatiluhung]

It's true that Al Hilal has good players in it so that it allows them to achieve maximum results like the last few seasons, Al Hilal always competes tightly in the Saudi League so obviously they don't want to make mistakes that make it difficult for them because clubs like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad will try to maintain their consistency to compete in the Saudi League title race so the competition might be even tighter this season because I see a different quality of Al Nassr unlike before.

Al-Hilal's advantage lies in their well-balanced team. This means their squad is well-developed and stable. Their defense, midfield, and attack are all performing very well. Furthermore, their coach is now even more qualified. This makes Al-Hilal a potential favorite again this season in the Saudi Pro League.

However, a team like Al-Nassr is also a very strong team, but their strength lies more in attack. Meanwhile, their backline sometimes shows gaps that opponents can exploit. Therefore, I think Al-Nassr is quite vulnerable. They are indeed strong and capable of scoring a lot of goals. But I worry that they will also concede a lot of goals.

Al-Ittihad, on the other hand, are unpredictable. Sometimes they are very solid, like last season, and sometimes they are poor, like the season before last. However, in terms of strength and squad depth, Al-Ittihad, like Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, have what it takes to win.

[Tamaperdana]

What a guy is Mitrovic, a player who can score a ton of goals for every single team he play but a guy who enver have a real chance in big teams in europe i dont know why. Maybe is because of his temper? Or what?

About the new, huge deal for the player, because for Al Hilal it was no money involved only termination of the actual contract between them.

Yes, Mitrovic is a very good striker and it's true that he always contributes very well to the teams he plays for. Because the proof is even in Al Hilal, he really played very well. But now, unfortunately, Mitrovic has officially left Al Hilal and joined the Qatari team, Al Rayyan. So with that, it's certain that now we won't see him play again in the Saudi Arabian league. I also don't know the main reason his contract was not extended by Al Hilal. But it seems that it was because Al Hilal now has a new striker, so with that in mind, maybe Mitrovic is no longer wanted at Al Hilal. But even though Mitrovic is currently no longer playing for Al Hilal, I still hope that he can good play with his new team.

From what I heard & saw in the media, there was no conflict between Mitrovic & Al-Hilal, it was purely because he (Mitrovic) was not included in Simone Inzaghi's plans. Regardless of whether there's a conflict or not, I think it's best to discuss Mitrovic's future at Al-Rayyan. Al-Rayyan is a big club in Qatar & I think Mitrovic will get a lot of attention there.

Al Hilal has always been a top-performing team and we have seen in the Club World Cup that they can perform well even outside the Saudi League. In the Club World Cup, Al Hilal defeated Manchester City and also drew with a big team. Looking at Al Hilal's performance in that season of the Club World Cup, we thought that maybe Al Hilal would finish the tournament in a good position in the Club World Cup, but Al Hilal failed to maintain their best performance towards the end as we expected. The last season has ended and the new season has begun, so the discussion is about which team will finish the season in a good position in the Saudi League and which team will win the Saudi League title in the new season. If it comes to winning the Saudi League title, then the names of Al Hilal, Al-Nassr or Al Ittihad will come first because they are the best teams in the Saudi League.

Since these three teams have added good quality players to the club to increase their team strength, it is expected that there will be tough competition with these three teams in the coming season and any of these three teams will win the league title.

One thing i dont like about the Arab transfer is you jsut feel like the sheiks are making slave deals, we all know all the teams are property of some sheiks and we know how they behave and some of them really treat the person badly, no matter what we read in the huge salaries and contract, a lot of players dont like how how they are treated.

I just hope the introduction of this new coach wins them the league because sometimes it's not easy to appoint a new manager and go on to win the title. The look sharp with the new coach but there are competitions, Al Ittihad, Al Nassr and Al Ahli are all looking strong too and ready to challenge for the title. This season will be a very competitive season so it's difficult to predict who will end up winning the title.

I don't know if what you are saying is true and if it is then a lot of players will have rejected their offers and probably look for a way out of there. Recently I haven't heard many complains but the only player I have heard of recently that made a statement about mistreatment is Ivan Toney but I don't think the Arabians are that bad as you say it. Even till now some players join them and I believe more will still join so if  they are maltreating players no player will want to join the league.

That's why not all players like going to the Saudi Arabian League, and perhaps that's part of the reason they consider their decision before actually joining the Saudi Arabian League. And generally, the lure of big salaries is usually attractive to most players who are no longer used in other leagues, such as in Europe. However, if they have to be treated badly after signing with a Saudi Arabian team, that certainly won't be comfortable for any player, as they can also leave voluntarily after their contract expires.

Al-Hilal has always been promising with their games for seasons now, they've shown the biggest competitions recently allowing them to top the table standing between 2021-22 and 2023-24, the competition has been between them and Al-Ittihad with Al-Nassr always coming in the second or third positions in the last few seasons. I know Al-Nassr has shown some level of seriousness which includes the coming of Jaoa Felix who have been making the club happy recently. Al-Ittihad are not going to let go of the competition as well so I know Al-Hilal must remain solid and highly competitive to stand above these guys in the table standing this season.

[Fiatless]

Al Hilal always gave the impression to be a better built team compared to the other ones. The don't have any real superstar but they have many extremely good players in all roles. Al Nassr is all about Ronaldo, and this is both a blessing and a curse. I also like a lot Al Ahli because despite the limited amount of foreign players they obtain excellent results. To be honest at the end the most disappointing team has been Al Nassr, everybody were expecting them to win everything and they ended up with nothing.

Just can't stop laughing about your statement that getting Cristiano Ronaldo was a blessing and a curse to Al Nassr. The Portuguese have contributed greatly to the club but he has not led them to win the Saudi Professional League. Maybe your assumption that he is also a curse is out of his domineering nature. He wants to dictate how the club is run and the huge wage he earns. But it seems Al Nassr is comfortable with him, that was why his contract was extended. Al-Nassr is currently topping the League after one game due to a five-goal advantage. Let's hope they continue because Al-Ittihad Club and Al Hilal SFC are strong contenders.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival in Saudi Arabia has not only improved his team, but all Saudi teams. That's why I think his arrival in the country is a great opportunity. He may not have won any trophies with his team, but he instantly elevated the country's football reputation. So, what he's done is invaluable.

Yes, I agree with the statement that Al-hilal is really a strong team. And they always show their best side as they are the successful team.  And they have great players and they did too well in every passed game. Beside the fact that the team has no such players about which they claim worldwide star players. But all they have is really very satisfying and more than enough to show their strength to the world. And I think they proved that it is not necessary to have world known players but the most that it really matters to have the best player with great talent. Because as the team Al-Nassr they have the world's best player and they spend a lot to improve the performance of the team. But their results will never match their efforts. There is no doubt that Ronaldo is a great player and has a very kind personality to motivate others and keep their Morale high to achieve the goals.

[$weetne$$]

As you said, the fact is that Al Hilal does have an extraordinary squad depth. They have performed consistently in recent seasons, which is clear evidence that their presence in the Saudi League can be a real threat to other teams, including Al Nassr and Al Ittihad. I think this is where the excitement lies, each club is striving to continuously strengthen its squad, whether by signing European players or by improving the performance of each player to ensure they perform at their best. The presence of so many star players in the SPL should motivate other players to compete healthily, proving that they also possess quality that is no less than that of European players.

For the strength and level of their league, they do have a fair squad, AlnHilal happens to be one of the top five teams so they are doing well domestically even if it is not beyond Saudi Arabia.  One of the reasons you see then going  for top European players is to enable them improve the quality of their league because they know with the players they gwt from their domestic leagues, they can hardly get the same kind of quality  they will  get with the European players.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival in Saudi Arabia has not only improved his team, but all Saudi teams. That's why I think his arrival in the country is a great opportunity. He may not have won any trophies with his team, but he instantly elevated the country's football reputation. So, what he's done is invaluable.

The popularity of the Saudi Pro League increased drastically after Ronaldo joined Al Nassr, and I think for that reason, they are still keeping Ronaldo, even though he's no longer young. Al Nassr hasn't won a trophy yet, but Saudi initial goal of recruiting Ronaldo seems to have been realized, and maybe this season Al Nassr will succeed in winning the trophy.

Overall, the PIF has laid a strong foundation for their long term goals, with Ronaldo, the Saudi Pro League has become better. I think former top European players have the courage to move to Saudi because they see Ronaldo, which means Saudi can also offer a good environment for football, even if it's not as competitive as the top European leagues. Of course, the main attraction for them is money, and that's actually also generally true in Europe.

They have targets and ambitions by bringing in these expensive players, apart from improving the quality of the league they also want to attract the world's attention and so far it's working because almost all of us are talking about this league. The main highlight is that Saudi Arabia wants to host the next World Cup and I wonder if that target is achieved will they stop bringing expensive players to the league? Obviously no one wants to spend a lot of money without a target especially if the target has been achieved.

Al Nassr hasn't won a trophy yet, but Saudi initial goal of recruiting Ronaldo seems to have been realized, and maybe this season Al Nassr will succeed in winning the trophy.

He is only a first super star player joined the league and lays first foundation for Saudi Professional League growth. It has been three years since his transfer there and the league has still been growing with several star players joined in this summer transfer season. I believe that Saudi Arabia already got a good strategy and they only need to maintain it for like 10 or 20 years to harvest succeesful results at national team level in World Cup tournaments.

Strategy and investment fund from PIF make the strategic growth of Saudi Professional League is different than what China had with Chinese Super League years ago. This makes Saudi Professional League growth more sustainable than Chinese Super League project and by maintaining their investment in the league, appearances of star players in the league, it can help domestic young players more time and chances of training and playing with world class players. In long term, like after 10 years, it can help Saudi Arabia having a new player generation at higher level and comes nearly to world class level.
