Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

First of all, the match isn't taking place today, the match between Al-Nassr & Al-Ettifaq took place yesterday. Today, Al-Nassr will continue their league match again, this time they will meet Al-Taawoun. Talking about yesterday match, Al-Nassr was indeed heavily favored over their opponents. I also agree that they had extra motivation to win after one of their players got a red card early in the match.

Most teams have a different mentality, that is, when a player starts the game by receiving a red card, the rest of the team tries to play a more defensive game, being much more careful and perhaps aiming for a simple draw. Al Nassr, on the other hand, had character in going for the ball, trying to control the game and exploiting the counterattacks in the best way.

[bastisisca]

You could say this was an amazing victory Al-Nassr managed to make a comeback even while playing with 10 men. In the first half, goalkeeper Bento got a red card and Al-Nassr was down 2-0. Ange decision to substitute Ronaldo was the right call this is what makes Ange a great coach he's smart at reading the opponent's game.

After the coach decided to replace Ronaldo at the start of the second half with a more defensive player, Al-Khaibari, Al-Nassr finally managed to score 3 goals in the second half, making them comeback to win 2-3. Sadio Mane scored 2 goals, Felix recorded 2 assists and was named MVP.

Logically, this should have been a loss. But Al Nassr, which has good squad depth, keeps the team competitive even when key players are not on the field. For Ange relying on just one name is a risk not a strategy. This win puts Al Nassr at a perfect record of 3 games and 3 wins, making them top the SPL standings for now.

Ronaldo at 41 is not selfish as many find him to be, because in any case he doesn't expect to play the full 90 minutes, because he himself knows he no longer has them in his legs, but he knows he can start and be replaced, like all the other players. He placed himself at the level of other players for the good of the team. this just makes it more correct.

Are you really saying this? haven't you seen matches where Ronaldo was substituted and he expressed his grievance especially if he didn't score any goal. Inasmuch as i admire Cristiano Ronaldo but we should be realistic about his nature of doing things which we all know that he is a selfish player who wants all the goal to himself and for you to know that i know what am saying, he takes the most penalties, why doesn't he give to another teammate if he's not selfish? we also watched a match were he almost claimed Bruno Fernandes and got disappointed when he looked at the score board and saw that the goal was awarded to Bruno Fernandes who was the original scorer. I like Ronaldo as a person but we should tell the truth about him.

[slapper]

...I haven't been really satisfied with their performance always coming from behind to win their games...

Bro they were NOT always coming from behind lol. Two matches out of four. One of those two had 10 men from the 12th minute. The goalkeeper was sent off early and they still bounced back in the match and won it 3-2.

How about the other two games? From beginning to end, they were in charge. Completely controlled. Al-Riyadh did not even get close.

I understand what it feels like to think that. The games were so dramatic in that manner that those come-back games are remembered more than a 4-0 away victory. That is the way it is in football coverage, boring victories fade away.

...I think the defense is not as strong as it used to be...

I disagree with this, too. They conceded what they were supposed to concede based on the chances they gave up. It is not as if the keeper had to come to their rescue all the time. These are actually good defensive numbers.

It is just that the team is pushing harder now than they did under Jesus. Yeah, sometimes you get caught, though. That is a compromise that Postecoglou made, and so far it seems to be working.

Yesterday, Al Nassr defeated Al Taawon 2-1. I was surprised because Al Taawon scored the first goal against Al Nassr. I bet on Al Nassr to win, but I was also nervous because I was afraid I would lose my bet if Al Nassr lost. Fortunately, Al Nassr was able to turn things around because Ronaldo and Costa scored goals against Al Taawon, ultimately giving al Nassr the win and earning 3 points

The al Nassr players looked very happy in that match because they finally managed to outscore Al Taawon and ultimately win. The Al Nassr fans also looked happy to see Al Nassr finally win. But I think ange still needs to improve his defense because he thinks Al Nassr's back line still looks weak Do you share my opinion? Al Nassr is currently at the top of the standings but since it's the start of the season, Al Nassr must remain vigilant because there are still many matches to play

Al Taawon team tried to dominate most of the first half of the match and they were only able to score one goal. Despite having multiple scoring opportunities, the team could not convert those opportunities into goals. Al Nassr is having a great time, having won every match since the start of the tournament and is at the top with 12 points. The team still needs to maintain this consistency. Al Nassr will be able to continue their winning streak against the opposing team in the next match as well because the teams are not very strong compared to them. You said that Ange Postecoglou needs to work harder to improve Al Nassr defense, yes you are right because their defense is working very slowly. Cristiano Ronaldo scored in this match and he has scored 2 goals in 3 matches. I think if the attacking players can help him more he can get more goals.

I don't doubt Ange Postecoglou ability to coach Al Nassr. Sure, there are still a few things he needs to work on in the near future, especially in the defense line. But overall, Al Nassr performance under Ange has been pretty good, especially in goal productivity which has been improving. 

You can see this from his first four matches with Al Nassr, where he managed to achieve perfect wins with 12 points, scoring 12 goals and conceding only 3. In the last two games, they won after being behind and managed to make a comeback. Really, Ange has improved Al Nassr mentality a lot.

The most epic victory was definitely in the third match against Al-Ettifaq. In the 12th minute, they were down to 10 players and ended up trailing 2-0 until the 74th minute. Amazingly, they made a comeback and managed to win 3-2. Against Al Taawoun it was the same they were behind at first but then managed to come back. 

From those 4 matches, I'm becoming more convinced that Al Nassr with Ange will defend the SPL title, and that Ronaldo can score his 1000th goal and help bring home the AFC Champions League trophy.

[Creeper0]

It was an incredible match. Al-Nassr had very little chance of losing. The two goals saved by the goalkeeper further damaged the team's confidence. But every attack by Sadio Mane was increasing the team's confidence. Repeated counterattacks were weakening Al-Ittifaq's defense. In the last 15 minutes, Al-Ittifaq became even weaker and Sadio Mane and the whole team used that opportunity very well. A goal in the 74th minute was the reason for Al-Ittifaq's disappointment. The 74th minute disappointment in an important match forced Al-Ittifaq to lose the match. Al-Nassr's extraordinary performance surprised the football world.

You can immediately perceive that Sadio Mané is a player who is not used to letting go. He is a player who plays in the Premier League, he has been used to always aiming high and doing the best of your potential in every game. And this is the secret that awakened the Al-Nassr comrades and led them to victory.

Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo in the team means that the team is full of experience, these two players have proven themselves in big competitions. You can expect good performance from them even in moments of pressure.

This season, I feel more comfortable watching Al Nassr and Al Hilal fight. Both teams started the competition from the beginning of the season. After four rounds, it seems that Al Hilal will be ahead. Both teams are still undefeated and have secured 100% victory. Al Nassr has played four matches, while Al Hilal has only played three matches. If Al Hilal can secure a victory against Al Ahli in the fourth round, then Al Hilal will be ahead and occupy the top spot. As long as these two teams maintain consistency, the top spot will keep changing. I hope that the championship fight this season will be more intense than last season.

Yeah, I can understand how would have felt when Al Nassr were behind after you picked them to win. The nervousness won't be easy and even after equalising, you would be looking for another for them to go in front and even if they are just one goal in front, your mind won't be at rest because you will be afraid of the other team equalising it except your intended team goes 2 or more goals ahead. For the league this season, Al Hilal has been the most clinical in front of goal as they have scored scored 12 goals same with Al Nassr but have played one game less, so technically they have more because I doubt if they wouldn't score at least a goal in their outstanding match. Both teams in the league are fired up and are willing to take on each other for the challenge, this season will be an intensive one for them both, I would love to see the outcome when these 2 teams meets themselves.

[pewboy]

We all know Ronaldo is aged and not been able to make quite good turnings anymore and we're not disappointed because it's nature and this things do happen to every aged players and Ronaldo is just amazing because how are we going to tell our children that Cristiano Ronaldo reached his milestone of 1000 goals in his football career? He's very effective on the pitch, give him the ball and watch him perform magic for you, Ronaldo is the only Frontline in Al Nassr that I think is capable of turning water into fine wine.

For Cristiano Ronaldo to retire, there will be controversies surrounding his moves but he's yet to decide the year he will retire after all he's a sportsman and love football so so much.

It's normal for Cristiano Ronaldo to have declines, he's even at a certain age and despite everything he's still fit and strong. He can still have his say at Al Nassr, he certainly won't perform as well as he did when he was younger, but he still knows how to score and make his team win. Of course he has to decide when to stop playing, he would like to continue.

[m4r1o]

After Bento received a red card in the 12th minute, we thought the match was over for Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates. They were also 2-0 down. However, a miracle happened in the last 15 minutes, and Sadio Mané delivered an extraordinary performance that secured the three points for his teammates. It was an unforgettable victory for Al Nassr, and of course, an unforgettable defeat for Al Ettifaq.

Without taking away the merits of Al-Nassr and Sadio Mané, who in any case truly performed a miracle by overturning the result, we must also give the demerits to the other team, because with a 2-0 lead and with one more man you cannot afford to lose that match in any way..

From those 4 matches, I'm becoming more convinced that Al Nassr with Ange will defend the SPL title, and that Ronaldo can score his 1000th goal and help bring home the AFC Champions League trophy.

But the fact remains that both of the last two games were tough. Three points are three points, but in some of my bets, for example, I included an Al Nassr victory with a -1.5 handicap because I expected that after the initial wins (3-0 and 4-0), there would be confident results in the future. I hope what we're seeing now is a decline that will soon end. Because their main rival, Al Hilal, is playing as expected - winning their last two games 3-0 and 5-1, both away. It could very well turn out like it did last season, when Al Nassr had 10 or 11 wins in a row, and then losing points in a couple of games cost them first place (thankfully only temporarily).

[cande86]

I think many of us are eager to see that historic milestone reached soon. The idea of him returning to Sporting CP is genuine hype seeing him back in the Champions League wearing that shirt would be something else. It would be a poetic way to hit that 1,000-goal mark and wrap up his final chapter in Portugal.

Anything can happen with CR7, and he always keeps the football world debating. But on a personal note, what I'd love to see most is him sharing the pitch with his son in Portugal before he calls it a career.

I believe that this is very much the fruit of the imagination of us fans. Of course we all want a beautiful ending to an incredible story. Almost as if football had something magical about it, but in the end i don't think things will go that way.

I believe that Ronaldo will make other decisions for his future, also because it doesn't depend only on him.

Amazing, Al Nassr pulled off another comeback this time. Previously, they staged a comeback against Al Ettifaq, and now it’s Al Taawon’s turn to fall victim to Al Nassr’s comeback. I’m thrilled with the result, especially since Ronaldo scored again. In fact, Ronaldo’s goal proved to be the game winner for Al Nassr. Thanks to the three points earned from this match, Al Nassr now sits atop the standings with 19 points, three points ahead of second-place Al Hilal.

[YOSHIE]

I believe that Ronaldo will make other decisions for his future, also because it doesn't depend only on him.

With Cristiano Ronaldo being 41 years old, it looks like Ronaldo will enjoy and plan for himself and his family to live in peace, considering that his contract in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr will end in June 2027, it seems that he does not want to continue his contract in the world of football.

I once saw an interview in one of the Vogue magazines, where Ronaldo will not enter into a new contract anywhere after the old contract ends in June 2027, Ronaldo once said, he has scored 978 professional goals, after he completes 1000 goals there are 22 more goals left, he will end it all, when 1000 goals are achieved Ronaldo will reach a historical record, however this is only limited to discourse and words, in essence Ronaldo himself will decide whether he will end in the world of football or not.

Thanks to the three points earned from this match, Al Nassr now sits atop the standings with 19 points, three points ahead of second-place Al Hilal.

We have to admit that this comeback was indeed impressive when Al Nassr defeated Al Tawoon. But I still think that Al Nassr’s comeback against Al Ettifaq was better than the one they pulled off recently. I was also very happy to see one of these future legends score another goal. And that makes me even more convinced that Cristiano Ronaldo definitely will be able to reach 1000 goals in his professional career this season with a goal that’s becoming increasingly realistic given that he’s very close to the number of goals he needs to reach that milestone. As for Al Nassr’s position in the standings it looks increasingly solid with the 12 points they’ve earned. And they’ve performed quite well over the last four rounds with not a single point lost. Al Hilal is the team currently closest to Al Nassr in the standings. But I personally think Al Hilal will face a tough opponent in their next match against Al Ahli, where it could prevent them from earning full points in that tight contest. If my prediction proves correct them I am confident Al Nassr will further solidify their position in the standings, where the rest will depend on their performance in upcoming matches. I also believe Al Nassr should capitalize on this opportunity to widen the gap between themselves or even their current rivals in the standings.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Al Hilal has caught up with Al Nassr’s goal tally after playing just three games, they got a massive victory today against Al Khaleej scoring five goals in the first half and they later won five goals to one.

Now Al Hilal will definitely be a major headache for Al Nassr, but this is great. The level of competition in the Saudi League is increasing every day, which raises the interest of the fans. In fact, I'm one of them. I won't deny that I watch this league only because of CR7. I like it, and the Saudi style of play is good, not to mention the extreme heat and humidity they play in, where maintaining a very high level of physical fitness is essential.

I liked the goal that CR7 scored for Al Nassr and helped the team win. It significantly narrowed the goal gap. A good matchday.

The Saudi pro league is becoming competitive, all teams are gearing up to have the best players to compete so that only Al Nassr or Al Hilal will not be the top teams so that they will have more rating in terms of how competitive the league becomes.
Now even young talented player from the European teams are joining Saudi Pro League clubs because it is competitive and people now pay attention to the league now that is competitive, the competition will give them more viewers and more opportunities for the clubs.

Al-Nassr really is in a league of its own. they may have been outnumbered but they maintained a winning mentality from the very start. so even though they were down to 10 men, the team was still able to control the game. It’s extremely rare for that to happen, for a team with 10 players to still create more chances and even win the match. Al-Nassr deserves praise. However, all of that is also thanks to their substitute goalkeeper, who was quite good as well. He successfully blocked many of the attacks mounted by Al-Ittifaq.

In their next match,Al-Nassr will face Al-Ittihad and it will certainly be very difficult to predict the outcome. still, I remain optimistic that Al-Nassr will win the match, because the Al-Ittihad we see today is no longer the same squad as before.

It was already known that Al-Taawoun would not win against Al-Nassr, but the fact that they managed to score a goal that will be a bit of a relief for them. But certainly Al-Nassr's turning and Ronaldo's achievement of that desired goal are all special for the fans now. If Al-Nassr wins, then the excitement will be created for Ronaldo. Al-Nassr's turning was necessary for the dream that Ronaldo has been pursuing for a long time. His achievements last season were great, he was able to score 28 goals there and this season is expected to be even better. The team is now at the top with four consecutive wins, and it is hoped that Ronaldo will end his career with an achievement of historic record.
