Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[BlackBaron]

With this defeat, Al Nassr's chances of winning the title this season may be fading. They are seven points behind Al Hilal, a very difficult gap to overcome, especially since Al Hilal themselves have been very difficult to beat this season. These three consecutive defeats have really put Al Nassr in a slump.

I thought they would win and close the gap on Al Hilal, but instead, they suffered another defeat like the previous two weeks. I see Ronaldo starting to lose his chance to become a champion in the league he plays in.

I still cannot understand how they came to be in this mess, Al nassr has not won a single match since the end of last year and they have continued it this year. I think they have played three matches this new year and have not won a single one of it. For a team that started well and is now doing like this, the will only have themselves to blame if at the end of the season they happen to win nothing. They will be under pressure in the next match and the opponent can use it against them.

Given their strong start to the league season, and their lack of success at the end of the season, it's their own fault for not maintaining consistent performance, leading to a continued negative run of results.

Even a crucial match that should have been an opportunity for them to narrow the gap ended in defeat. Not only are they now trailing Al Hilal by a significant margin, but they could also lose their position in second place, as the gap between the two teams below them is now very small, with no gap between them and Al Taawoun.

[KTChampions]

Farewell Al-Nassr.
Al-Hilal destroyed Al-Nassr in today's game after they were one goal behind. Cristiano Ronaldo goal raised the hopes of Al-Nassr fans then everything vanished.
We are talking right now about 7 points difference. The gap is quite big and will continue to rise most likely and with this epic decline of Al-Nassr, we will see them soon outside of the Asian competitions spots. It is just a matter of time.

An incredible run for one of the title favorites (former? haha): a draw and three defeats in a row. That's just Liverpool's style. I don't know if Al Nasr will be able to recover from such a blow. The next two games are against Al Shabab and Damak – in theory, these are guaranteed six points, as the teams are hovering in the relegation zone. Hopefully, these two warm-up games will be enough for Al Nasr to recover.
By the way, it’s funny that the first two positions in the top scorers are occupied by Al Nasr players, while the best player from Al Hilal is 9th.

What's happening with Al Nassr? Why has their performance suddenly declined, now sitting in second place, seven points behind Al-Hilal. Whereas their impressive performance since the start of the season, Al Nassr's performance has been extraordinary. With the points gap widening with Al-Hilal, Al Nassr's dream of winning the Saudi Pro League title could be dashed once again. If Al Nassr fails to win the Saudi Pro League title again this season, Ronaldo will be very disappointed, as he has been at Al Nassr for four seasons and has yet to win the Saudi Pro League title.

[Arenga pinnata]

In other leagues, point differences like this can change quickly. However, in the Saudi Pro League, point differences like this are sometimes considered very significant. perhaps the situation would be different if Al-Hilal were not currently at the top of the table. but the problem is that the team currently in first place is al-hilal, which has not lost a single game in 14 matches.

In previous seasons, Al-Hilal even won the championship without suffering a single defeat here, specifically in the 2023-24 season. and it is not impossible for them to repeat that golden era once again.

Al Nassr's performance was never imagined. Seeing Al Nassr's great performance and Cristiano Ronaldo's performance, it seemed that no one could stop Al Nassr from winning the trophy this season. But this idea of ​​all of us will change in a way that we never imagined. Currently, their defense has become very weak and their confidence is very low when facing a big team. If Al Nassr is not able to solve these problems very soon, then maybe Al Nassr's position will gradually deteriorate further.

I also never imagined that they would experience such a rapid decline. usually, a team loses once and then goes on a winning streak. But what happened to al-Nassr is that they didn't win in several matches and lost in the last few matches. clearly, there is a problem that needs to be solved quickly and it seems that there have been some changes in the main lineup recently. And especially the absence of Mane seems to be quite noticeable in helping build attacks. Usually, Mane is always quite clever in making assists that sometimes make Felix look like he's being spoiled by Mane's passes. Now we can't expect much from this team if we look at the point difference between them and Al-Hilal at the top of the table.

[Zanab247]

I don't watch this league much. The Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr match is noteworthy. Al-Nassr played very well in the first half, Ronaldo did what he does best, scoring a beautiful goal. In the second half, Hilal really found their rhythm. Hilal's squad seems much deeper and more mature. In the second half,

I watch the game from the beginning till when AI-Nassr player got a red card that made their opponent to equalized the goal, because AI-NASSR stood on their ground to make the game hard for AI-Hilal to lead in the first half. Ronaldo did what make people to praise him in that game, because he took advantage of the first opportunity to score goal that makes people to think AI-NASSR will win the game but they took advantage of the red card to equalized the goal and still score 2 goals to beat AI-NASSR 3:1 to continue leading the table.

I know Ronaldo will not be happy for the loss they experienced from AI-Hilal club, because that was not their plan and they will surely get prepare to challenge them in their next game. Despite AI-HILAL is leading other clubs in this season I don't think they will lift this trophy, because very soon AI-NASSR players will be complete to start handling their position to recover from all their losses.

Al-Nassr itself may not be fully prepared for this situation. as a result, the mentality of their players is not as strong as it was at the start of the season. Their confidence is easily shaken or something like that. They even looked like a team that couldn't be beaten based on their early season performancee. However, now all teams in the SPL might think that defeating Al-Nassr isn't as difficult as they imagined. Especially with their defense quality returning to the same level of weakness as last season. Although everything had improved at the start of the season, unfortunately, instead of their performance improving, it has actually deteriorated.

The match between Nassr and Al Hilal was very exciting because both teams tried hard to win, but unfortunately Al Nassr had to swallow a bitter pill because they were defeated by sl hilal with a score of 3-1. Cristiano Ronaldo performed well in this match because he was the only one who scored a goal for Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Al Hilal successfully scored three goals against Al Nasssr, two from penalty kicks and one from open play. al nassr now has to accept the fact that they lost to Al Hilal and, of course, lost three points.

I'm sure many al Nassr fans are disappointed that Al Nassr failed to defeat Al Hilal. However, Al Hilal fans must be delighted that their team has managed to defeat Al Nassr. In my opinion, it will now be even more difficult for Al Nassr to win the trophy in the Saudi Pro League, and Al Hilal seems to have a strong chance of becoming champions this season. Although there is still a chance for Al Nassr, the 7-point gap is too significant, as it is not easy for other teams to defeat Al Hilal either. Do you share the same opinion as me?

“I overestimated what Al Nassr showed at the beginning of the season,” I wrote. But in the end, they didn’t quite cruise to victory and Al Hilal did not stop being a nightmare for Al Nassr as the league title tightened.

At the moment, Al Nassr who used to be leaders in the table looking far below from AL Hilal. So now it appears Al Nassr can forget about capturing the trophy this season. But what I do know is that CR7 never say die; he will just keep on fighting for every game and try his best whatever happens at the end of the season.

[jaberwock]

Disliking Ronaldo because of the results is understandable, but I am 99% sure that nobody assumed he would be getting a title to a team at 41 years old, dude is long over and the only reason why he is there is for marketing and nothing else. Is he doing marketing like he suppose to? Did he made Saudi league known to the whole world? Does he help with other players going to Saudi league better and easier? All of them is a yes, then if his team is losing that is not his problem.

Not in the sense that he shouldn't care, but in the sense that he was never going to be able to make that team win, because he is old and fragile and barely can play anymore, so even if he just stat pads rest of his career and scores whatever tap-in he faces, that is not going to help them.

There is a reason why he didn't move to a good top five league team but moved to Saudi league, and that is not just money, that's also because he was playing badly.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Given their strong start to the league season, and their lack of success at the end of the season, it's their own fault for not maintaining consistent performance, leading to a continued negative run of results.

Sometimes I think CR7 isn't having enough luck in the Middle East, because he's been a champion with every team he's played for, he's won everything, but this Arab football can't do it I think he needs a little help, I don't know, but if they lose another one, it's better that they stop dreaming because we already know what this turns into.

uniformity has actually been the issue. CR7 is a star in every team he has ever played, however, even the legends cannot play alone when the team is not balanced or encouraged. The Saudi league is different, has different style, climate, and issues, which could be having an impact on the outcomes. Fortune favors, of course, but accustomation and unity of the team are essential. Until the team is improved, it may be overly ambitious to expect titles.

That says all about Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo situations with their cooperations in latest seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo has been older each season and he has no longer been as strong and good in performance quality and impacts on his team like years when he was younger than latest seasons when he joined and played for Al Nassr. However he has still performed acceptable and I think it's unrealistically to expect for better performances from a very old player like him.

Unfortunately, his individual contributions are not enough as his teammates made many mistakes in defense and as a team, they win and lose matches, win or lose titles together. This season is very likely another season without Saudi Professional League title for Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo even they actually began this season perfectly.

Yes, this is indeed a surprising result from Al Nasr for all of us, but even so, because everything has happened, so now we better see how Al Nasr performs in the upcoming matches. As we know, Al Nasr will face Al Shabab and also Damac. I think in this match, Al Nasr should definitely be able to win and win this match easily. Because if you look at the quality of the players and the results that Damac and Al Shabab have been able to achieve so far, they certainly will not be able to beat Al Nasr.

So if you look at it,, it is clear that Al Nasr should be able to win this match. Because if Al Nasr turns out to be unable to beat both teams smoothly, I think this will really be a very big problem for Al Nasr. Because with that, Al Nasr could drop back to 3rd or 4th place. So, therefore, Al Nasr must work hard to win in both matches. And speaking of the current top scorers, many of the top two positions are filled by Al-Ansr players. Al-Nasr is indeed a very prolific team when it comes to scoring goals,, and I think we all know that. But due to their drastic decline in performance, Al-Nasr has become like this.

Another league bottle by Al nasser,  yesterday match was tough,  you can feel the presence of the home fans.  Al nasser don't play like people who wants to win the league, look at their previous loses against al qadisiya , they should have won that game. Almost 3 years that Ronaldo has joined that club they haven't won any domestic titles, they only go to finals and lose. Every year they add new European players to the team but nothing still happens.  I don't know the problem of the club but they need solutions asap, they can't be wasting money on players without showing results. The way Al nasser started this season, I thought they will finally win something tangible but it is the opposite that we are seeing.

Yes, until now Al Nassr has always bought famous players, but there have been no results because in the domestic league, since Ronaldo joined, Al Nassr has still not become the champion. Personally, I actually thought Al Nassr would perform well this season and could win the Saudi Pro League title because they started the season strongly. However, if I'm not mistaken, after drawing 2-2 against Al Ettifaq, Al Nassr's performance began to decline, leading to poorer results in subsequent matches. As a result, Al Nassr has yet to show signs of improving.

However, I think Mane's absence has also affected Al Nassr's performance because when Mane plays, Al Nassr usually performs well, and there is a noticeable difference when he is on the field and when he is not. Nevertheless, I hope the Al Nassr players remain motivated despite losing many points, and I hope their mentality recovers quickly, as there is still time for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal, though it won't be easy. We'll see what happens in the Al Nassr vs. Al Shabab match, and Al Nassr should be able to easily defeat Al Shabab.

Al-Nassr really makes their fans too disappointed with a heavy decline in their performance. Because since the start of the season Al-Nassr is the one which is unbeaten and that's what makes fans expect high from them. But  a huge decline in their performance is a great disappointment for their fans and the viewers too. I think the team should take some serious steps and try to recognize the factors which are responsible for their sudden and huge decline in their performance. Al-hilal seems the greatest opponent for Al-Nassr from a long team period and Al-hilal is successful in proving this. But I think the situation is still not in the scenario till yet that where anyone cannot have a final verdict about the winner.

[Slow death]

There is a reason why he didn't move to a good top five league team but moved to Saudi league, and that is not just money, that's also because he was playing badly.

I honestly try to understand what it means to play well and to play badly in some people's minds, and I confess that sometimes I get dizzy. Can we define a player as playing badly simply because we don't like him? Or do we have to define a player as not playing well when he's not helping the team based on real data available from official sources?

Let's take the case of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo = 14 games; 15 goals; 1 assist

Al Nassr = 14 games; 39 goals

That is, Cristiano Ronaldo scored almost half the goals of the entire team, and his contributions don't end there.

Currently the top scorer in the Saudi league:



If it were true that Cristiano Ronaldo is already old and is only in this league because he's old, then how is he the top scorer in this league? Was it luck? How many young players are in this league who aren't at the top of the league?

[AprilioMP]

He has been fortunate in terms of personal achievements but less so as part of the team. This is not his second season but his fourth with Al Nassr. I thought this season would be his season with Al Nassr after Al Nassr lost to Al Ahli and then went on to face Al Hilal, which resulted in Al Nassr losing three times in a row.
As a team, Ronaldo actually has no shortage of talent—this megastar has teammates like Joao Felix and Brozovic—but that hasn't been enough to help Al Nassr break their trophy drought since their last win in the 2018/2019 season.

This time it is going to sting more for Ronaldo. The reason is that he forced the Al Nassr management to make a lot of changes to the squad, and was successful in getting through his demands. Despite all this, if the team performs poorly, then it is not going to improve Ronaldo's reputation. If you remember, it was Ronaldo who brought João Félix in the place of Jhon Durán. The latter was packed off to Fenerbahçe. Also, it was his idea to kick out Aymeric Laporte, and replace him with Iñigo Martínez. And more importantly it was Ronaldo who brought in Jorge Jesus as the manager replacing Stefano Pioli.

Before Joao Felix's move to Al Nassr and Duran's departure to the team you mentioned, Al Nassr had already sold Vincent Aboubakar, and the Cameroonian player was disappointed, saying that Al Nassr would never win the Saudi Pro League as long as Ronaldo was at Al Nassr.
Talisca was also a very good player in the Al Nassr squad, but he was also released.
Ronaldo's sole focus is on scoring 1,000 goals throughout his professional career, and he will achieve that. If anyone blames Ronaldo for Al Nassr failing to win a trophy, I think that's unfair because all his demands have been met.

To be fair to Ronaldo, Vincent Aboubakar didn't performed well when he was in Al Nassr. For all these years, Al Nassr remained as a one-man army heavily dependent on Ronaldo. Things changed only when João Félix was brought into the team. So in this regard, I am going to side with Ronaldo. And also, we all knew about the issues between Ronaldo and Stefano Pioli. I am not going to blame either of them, but it was having a big impact on the performance of the team. A lot is being discussed about Ronaldo's focus on getting his 1000th goal. But on field, from his performance I don't think that he puts his personal achievement above the team target.

Ronaldo seems to be unlucky at the moment because, looking at Al Nassr's squad, it can be said that they are good because they always buy good players, but I don't really understand why Al Nassr has become like this. However, according to many people, Al Nassr has a weak defense, and yes, that could be one of the reasons why Al Nassr always loses. But in my opinion, the primary reason Al Nassr sometimes loses is because other teams also sign good players, making it difficult for Al Nassr to win, especially against strong teams like Al Hilal and Al Ahli. However, I believe that if Al Nassr can sign famous players like Vinicius or Haaland, they have the potential to become champions. But there's still time, and Al Nassr could still make a comeback because Al Hilal might make mistakes, even though it seems unlikely they'll make any.
