Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[As-Soon-As]

---
Despite the three points, I'm disappointed with the result. In the game against the team from 14th place, Al Nasr was close to dropping points and this would have been the loss of points in the 5th game in a row. This is an unacceptable result if you're aiming for the title. In the next game, Al Nasr will play a team even lower (15th place, haha), but now I'm not at all confident of a positive outcome. I wonder if Al Hilal will ever experience a decline? 38 points out of 42 is a very high score, considering the competition.

Al-Nassr are back to winning ways, at least. They avoided four straight defeats following their win over Al-Shabab, so credit to them for that, even if it was a narrow escape. Still, it feels like they've already bottled the league.
They could have made the title race tougher and more competitive for Al Hilal, but that chance seems gone now. With no signs of Al Hilal slowing down, it wouldn't be a surprise if Al-Nassr end up finishing the season without a trophy once again.

Al Nassr lacks the strength to be consistent for long. This is where Al Hilal shows they are stronger than them because they stay consistent for so long. Of course, it's not a new thing for Al Nassr to lose guard the league to their rival Al Hilal who ends up winning the title from season to season. Al Hilal knows how to overtake Al Nassr without a problem.

Here, Al Hilal team holds the first place in the points table with a big difference of points. But they are performing very well in the current position and they have enough attack to win the title. If we look at the points table, Al Hilal team and another attacking team Al Nassr are not performing well at the moment. However, Al Nassr team is neglecting themselves at the moment, if they want to compete with Al Hilal team, Cristiano Ronaldo's team will definitely have to be more aggressive.

Yesterday Al Hilal was really close to lose some points against NEOM if we consider the first half but when they go out for the second one they score two fast goals and take the win into the bag to keep growing or maintain the gap between them and the Cristiano Ronaldo team, i think this is the main diference between Al Hilal and Al ansrr, they dont crack under the pressure.

Funny how the turned out of events for Al Nassr this season, they are not doing well this season like the early time when player's like Christana Ronaldo moved to that club the last two seasons, at that time, we can see Al Nassr playing almost a draw match with most of the club, their always win with big gap, but this present season, the clubs struggle so much to even win with just a goal or two quite different for Al Nassr this season and I hope their pick on time.

At the start of the season Al-nassr was exceptional. but now they are definitely not as good as usual. They have experienced a drastic decline. Even their attack seems to have lost its sharpness. And what is most worrying is that their defense has weakened again. Previously, their defense had improved since the arrival of new coach Jorge Jesus. but now Al-nassr seems to have rediscovered problems at the back. I'm not sure why this is happening. but it's clear that this team will now struggle to overtake Al-Hilal, who continue to perform consistently as usual.

They are having serious problems in defense; for example, in the last 5 games they have conceded 2 or more goals in each of the last 5 games. With a defense like that, it's difficult for a team to fight for the title. I don't know why their defense started to fail so much, but knowing that they are a rich club that doesn't lack money, then they should already be concerned about hiring a strong defender. Only if they manage to improve their defense will they have any chance of fighting for the title.

In the early season until playing nine matches, Al Nassr star quite well by winning all nine matches in a row but recently got three losses in a row until wake up to winning performance by the victory last match against Al Shabab. Has big home work for Al Nassr defend can't make clean sheet and have been five matches in a row all competition Al Nassr always conceded goals, good attacking but can't balance well with good defense and playing until 15 matches have conceded 17 goals more than one goal per match.

Al Nassr remaining 7 points behind Al Hilal and has many matches left the opportunity get back to top position still wide open, how many game weeks later has possibility for Al Nassr returning back to the top position?

Exactly you are accurately right, Al Nassr have become very weak in the defense line in as much even though their front line is a bit strong defense have exposed them to alot of risks and they have conceded alot of goals during this period compared to every other period in the past, let see what their are going put out in their next match if we can see something difference from what we have seen lately.

Al Hilal Saudi Club easily won this match because their performance was good in this match and they handled the pressure in this match which was good for that team. Tambakti was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 49 minutes and that goal gave strength to his team and Neves also played well in this match and he did goal at penalty when it was need of the team. The shots of Al Hilal Saudi Club were more in this match and they tried to make match one sided in which they became successful. The possession percentage of that team was excellent in this match which was 59 percent abd opponent team possession was not good and opponent team could do only 1 goal in this match.

When Al Nassr were consistently unbeaten, we were pretty confident they would win trophies this season. However, the situation is very different now, and Al Nassr don't even seem capable of competing with Al Hilal for trophies. Al Nassr have conceded ten goals in their last four matches, clearly indicating their defense is not fully in place. I think Jorge Jesus lacks quality rotation options for his defense, so at some point it will be very difficult to ensure his team continues to perform consistently. With Al Hilal still undefeated, I'm starting to realize that they're likely to emerge as champions this season.

Now the situation is different, Ronaldo is getting weaker and of course it is affecting his performance in the team, as well as the other teams that are in the team are also getting weaker in my opinion, Al Nassr is not as good as expected but yes, so far since the beginning of Ronald's arrival Al Nassr has had many changes in the team and the tendency is to have a gradual increase in performance until they are in their current position, that is enough for AL Nassr in my opinion, in the future they need to make further improvements to all the players in the team because in my opinion they are still lacking and need better improvement again.

[ITExpert]

When the defense isn't that good, you have to realize that things aren't going to be as good forever, because while their defense was good, they can't be good forever.

Lately the defense started to be average, even slight below average and that is why they are losing very clearly. But I do not remember a single person praising their defense when the team was doing great, it was Felix this, Ronaldo that, everyone thought goal scorers was the reason, well they are still scoring, yet the team is losing.

Al-Nassr's performance is not as good as they were started and they kept going on. But a sudden decline in their overall performance really makes everyone in shock and unable to understand why they are doing so. And it is expected that Al-Nassr will finish this season with an ultimate victory. But I think now the team is in a different scenario and they need to work a lot to achieve their desired position. Because it's only hard work which makes them able to resume their position and status. They just need to underline the things which caused them to this situation and they lost their consistency. And if they are successful in doing so  they will manage their position again and make a strong impression.

If not the last win two days ago, Al-nassr had a massive decline that affected the possibility they had of winning the Saudi League, after losing 3 games in a row, they are not opportuned based on what i perceive to win the Saudi League any longer, i imagined this to be the first trophy for Ronaldo, but they lost the quality which they started the season with, it may end badly for them.

Al Nassir has really disappointed many people with their recent bad forms and losses especially when you look back to see that this team went 9 games unbeaten. The hope of lifting the title is swiftly fading off. Seems Ronaldo will bottle the title again even though I try to understand that a tree can not make a forest at anytime. Al Hilal is the real enemy of Al Nassir but then I also remembered that on Ronaldo's arrival, Al Nassir was the defending champion, so what has really happened to the team? Could that only be a situation of one team fortifying itself to face a challenge and another team feeling relaxed and forgetting they have a competitor? Many people believe that Ronaldo is the problem. But with his performance and statistics, I may not want to accept that Ronaldo has a hand in their problems. Well let's wait until season is over.

Not 9. It was 10. By the end of the 10th round, Al Nassr had 30 points (from 10 wins) and Al Hilal had 26 points (two draws). Now the situation is completely reversed with Al Hilal on the top with 13 wins from 15 matches (41 points in total), while Al Nassr only has 34 points. And a bigger threat for Al Nassr comes from Al Taawoun and Al Ahli, who also have 34 points each. If Al Nassr doesn't win the next few matches, then they will slip further in the points table. In the next three matches, Al Nassr will face Damac, Al Taawoun and Al Kholood. The one against Al Taawoun will be the toughest one.

[el kaka22]

The gap is already 7 points, that's not going to change that easily. When Al Nassr ended up with a tie and three losses in a row, that is 10 points lost in 4 games in a row, that is not normal and that is exactly why they are second place.

When you lose 10 points in a row, then Al Hilal will definitely take advantage of that, by comparison Al Hilal won all of their last five games, not even getting a single tie, so they got all of those points and then some. This is why the league is already over if you ask me, because who the hell at the top would lose 10 points in a row, nobody does that, only Al Nassr could do that, we are not going to see that happen ever again, and AL Hilal may not lose 10 points TOTAL for the rest of the season.

And the most annoying part is they started well this season at the beginning and looked like they were ready to take the title home this time around only for them to start losing grip once more. What I think is wrong with Al-Nassr is they still lack a strong defense and are dealing with a midfield which is still shaky and this is why they look exposed once they face teams who sit deep and counter quickly and my biggest problem with them is their lack of consistency and lack of squad balance too. Even with Ronaldo team, only him and Mane are not enough they need a strong squad from be behind starting with the defenders and the midfielders too.

Here, Al Hilal team holds the first place in the points table with a big difference of points. But they are performing very well in the current position and they have enough attack to win the title. If we look at the points table, Al Hilal team and another attacking team Al Nassr are not performing well at the moment. However, Al Nassr team is neglecting themselves at the moment, if they want to compete with Al Hilal team, Cristiano Ronaldo's team will definitely have to be more aggressive.

Now this is where the differences are. If you look at Al-Hilal's squad depth from bottom top, you will agree with me they are not sitting at the top of the table standing for nothing and it is not by luck. They look somewhat like a complete team already with a much stronger team and a more organized defense and enough attacking depth to score their games. If you look at it closely, this is not the case for Al Nassr. Though they have a good attack, but they lack those who will supply them effectively and since the club has money, I will suggest they sign in players like Calvin Bassey from Nigeria and midfielders like Alex Iwobi into their squad, trust me the Al-Nassr team will be one of the best in the league with such a good combination.

In fact,, at the beginning of the season, Al Nasr played very well and always managed to score many goals in the matches they played. But what I don't understand is that their performance suddenly deteriorated for no clear reason, because I saw that Al Nasr players looked fine and they also played with a pretty good strategy. But strangely,, the results in the last few matches have been really bad. So that's why I think there may be a problem at Al Nasr that we don't know about, whether it's tension between the players or the coach who is actually having problems with his players.

Because currently, I think that is the most reasonable cause of Al Nasr's performance to be as bad as it is now. Because in the past few months, Al Nasr really appeared like a team that was impossible to beat in the Saudi Arabian League because at this time Al Nasr had never lost. But since Al Nasr got a less than good result, everything changed for the worse. So yes, I think Al Nasr needs to fix all of this immediately, so that they can at least compete well again in the Saudi Arabian league.

For me, the reason for the sudden downtrend is quite clear. For the last few seasons, Al Nassr's weakness has been their defense. Before this season, there was a reshuffle. And that's how Iñigo Martínez came into the squad, in place of Aymeric Laporte. And this move worked quite well during the first phase of matches. But for some reason, the defense crumbled during the last few matches. And this has been the primary reason why Al Nassr lost so many matches recently. Even during the match against Al Shabab (which was won by Al Nassr), the defense conceded two goals (including one self-goal by Mohamed Simakan.

The possession percentage of that team was excellent in this match which was 59 percent abd opponent team possession was not good and opponent team could do only 1 goal in this match.

Considering Al Hilal's first half stats in yesterday's match, they were trailing and it seemed to me that they were very close to dropping points in this match. Even when one of Al Hilal's players Tambakti scored in the 49th minute, we felt relieved that they might be able to win. It must be admitted that Neom played very good football as they gave a tough time to the team that was in the number one position in the Saudi Pro League standings, which I noticed.

However I will say that, Al Hilal's fortunes changed after they were awarded a penalty in the 66th minute of the match as they had a chance to win, On that occasion, Neves was able to score a goal from the penalty spot, as a result we noticed that this team got a full three points from that match.

It's hard to understand how Al Nassr's performance has suddenly declined drastically, even to the point where they've been overtaken by Al Hilal at the top of the standings, currently trailing by seven points. Al Nassr's problems aren't just at the back; their midfield is also struggling due to a lack of creativity in their midfielders in building attacks and supporting their defense. This season, Al Nassr has struggled to catch up with Al Hilal at the top of the standings due to their inconsistent performance, making it difficult for them to end their Saudi Pro League title drought this season.

Their offense is good enough to make that happen, which is why no team is relaxed when they are ahead against Al Hilal, it's already very difficult to score goals against them but even if you do manage to somehow score against them, you have to also have an exceptional defensive game where you park the bus with every single player, if not then they have great offense to score and make a comeback, which is exactly what they did. Al Hilal is doing wonders right now, and I bet they will win the league yet again.
