Al-Nassr were finally able to get full points in the second week after they previously failed to get points in the first week. a score of 1-4 is truly extraordinary. And it looks like Talisca has also regained confidence on the front lines. because now this player has proven that he is still sharp in the attack line. And yes of course Cristiano Ronaldo always surprises everyone with his shots. Although his accuracy is sometimes not as good as when he was younger. But when he makes a shot with good accuracy it is always difficult to stop. Brozovic also managed to score a goal in this match.

But I was very surprised by Al-ahli who actually lost to Al-fateh. Even though in the first week Al-ahli looked quite reliable. It's just that in the second week they are not hosting. and they didn't create many good chances and also failed to capitalize on any chances they had. In contrast to Al-ahli, we see that Al-qadisiyah continues to be able to collect full points. And it seems that the purchase of several European star players by this team was not in vain.

 Talking about the ongoing Al-Nasr League, currently they are already ahead in the first half with a score of 0-2 the first half victory has ended, this is an easy match for them to get additional points to go to the standings, one beautiful thing we saw at the end of the first half was a perfect free kick done by Ronaldo which made them ahead 0-2 in the first half match.

It doesn't matter how much they are willing to pay, of course getting the current best player instead of past best player is a great marketing move, and paying 350 million as a salary is insane, because I am sure that he can't make that all his life, let alone a single year ,and the offer could be for a few seasons so that would mean that he will continue to make a lot more as well, but still it is not good enough.

No player on their right mind would accept this offer, not because of the fact that they are good enough to play at Real Madrid, but because the yare not certain about it, the yare unsure, they do not know if it will work out and that means they will take the money but their name would be run through the mud.

Ronaldo recorded himself as an assist maker of Talizing's goal in this fight. This match seems to end in a big score.
Al Nassr might make head to head never lose against Al-Fayha in the last five matches if this fight was won by Al Nassr.
Ronaldo is very excited in this match, is it because of his followers on the YouTube channel that is still being discussed on the homepage of social media. LOL

Unfortunately, Al experts lost against Al Fateh with a thin score of 1-0.
Mahrez and Firmino could not help the Expert Congratulations from the defeat that should be able to boost the position of the expert in the standings.

Al Fayha vs Al-Nassr

Al Fayha possible starting lineup:
Al-Deqeel; Al Dowaish, Al Khaibari, Al Rashidi, Abdi; Al-Beshe, Kaabi; Harthi, Al Hussain, Al Rammah, Sakala

Al-Nassr possible starting lineup:
Bento; Al Ghanam, Alawjami, Laporte, Telles; Brozovic, Al-Khaibari; Otavio, Talisca, Mane; Ronaldo

Al-Nassr have heavy advantage over Al Fayha because the have been beaten them for almost four matches now, and already Al Fayha lost their first match of the season but it wasn't home and now they are playing home against Al-Nassr, Al-Nassr already have a point and will not like to lose a point again because the rival are still going better than them now.

The match was totally one sided and Al Hilal football team did well in this match and  won this match easily by 3-0 margin. Mitrović did two goals in this match and he was prominent in this match and he did first goal at the start of match at the 4 minutes after starting the match ,this goal made pressure on opponent team and in the whole match, opponent team looked in pressure.  After Mitrović did second goal of the game and after that Al Hilal was very close to win because opponent team has mindset of losers and they did many mistakes and they could play better in this match.
In the comparison, the opponent team , shots were less and their no shot was on target  and possession percentage was also very low and passes was very less. They played very poor in this match.

Since Ronaldo has fallen to 39, his current age is not fit to play at all. But we have seen that Cristiano Ronaldo still did not give up, but he could not give up football even in his late age, which is why he is playing in the Saudi League. Although I think he plays well enough as an older player and contributes enough in every game, and we've seen him score a goal at the start of the season. Cristiano Ronaldo has done enough for Al Nasser to take the team to a good level, but it must be accepted that one can never take a team forward alone. Of course, Ronaldo and Sadio Mané have the means but are not that excited about their game at the moment, which is why they can get off to a good start. However, as today is the second match of the season, they will improve their performance in this match, although Ronaldo tries hard enough, he cannot play at the current age like he is at was a young age.

Speaking about the Al Nassr vs Al-Fayha game, this is a good opportunity for Al Nassr to get their first win of the league and also not let their main rivals get further away in the table. Historically, Al-Fayha is an opponent that has not created headaches for Al Nassr, we just have to see that in the last 9 games involving these two teams, Al Nassr has not lost in all 9 games, had one draw and only conceded 3 goals. Even in situations where Al Nassr played away from home, this convinces me that at least in today's game Al Nassr will leave with 3 points.

It's funny that Ronaldo doesn't say what year he will retire but he says he doesn't intend to become a coach after retiring as a player.

Al Hilal made a good signing. They are already strong and are getting stronger.

Al Fateh vs Al-Ahli.
Soon the Saudi Pro League will present a match between Al Fateh and Al-Ahli, this match will be held at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium. By the way, even though Al Fateh is playing at home, it is not easy to defeat Al-Ahli. However, in the last meeting last season, Al Fateh was able to hold Al-Ahli as the host team to a draw. In this match, they will be motivated to get full points to increase their ranking in the standings.
In the Al-Ahli camp, Matthias Jaissle certainly wants his team to get full points to stay competitive at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. Moreover, on paper Al-Ahli is more favored to defeat their opponent, as well as with the odds available, theoretically Al-Ahli has a high probability of getting three points and occupying the top position in the standings temporarily.

Another match will present a match between Al-Fayha vs Al Nassr, for this match there is no reason for Al Nassr to get full points to increase their position in the standings.
In addition, a fairly interesting match between Al Read versus Al Qadisiyah. Armed with several top European players, Qadisiyah is more favored even though the team has just been promoted in the Saudi League. The odds available are also quite interesting, Al Read with @5.20 and while Qadisiyah has odds @1.58.
Well, will the favorite team win the match, it is interesting to wait for the final results of the match that will be presented soon.

There are many differences between youth and old age and that is the difference we are currently seeing in Cristiano Ronaldo. When he was younger his game speed was high but now he is a 39 year old man. No matter how well he tries to play at this age, he may not be able to play as well as he did when he was younger.

Cristiano Ronaldo had one of the best seasons in club football history when he was playing for Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for most goals for Real Madrid. He had a lot of good players to support him with whom he got a chance to score in almost every match. However, the club he is currently linked with has no top players to back him up apart from Sadio Mane. Playing well in football alone is never possible to win the team, this is what Cristiano Ronaldo is currently having to do for Al-Nassr Club. Moreover, with age, his playing performance has also decreased, as a result of which he is not playing well or trying to play well.

All the gamblers were betting on Al Nassr side but this match turned completely upside down, even though Al Nasr had the most experienced players in the team.  But the Al Raed team completely reversed the plan of this match, they were quite aggressive. Although the result and victory in this match was most likely to go in Al Nasr's side's favor. Here Al Nassr team players have drawn the game but this season they are performing very poorly with all the teams. Al Hilal was played earlier with a wide margin, now it would seem unusual to bet on any team playing against Al Nassr.

The goal of Saudi Arabia investment in football is not just to build a competitive league but to encourage the growth of football from the grassroot. When children see superstars like Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, N'Golo Kante and others, they will develop interest in the game. The government is projecting that in the future the SPL will grow local players that will attract interest from Europe.

The hosting of the FIFA World Cup is another avenue to improve the game of football and also showcase Saudi Arabia to the world. There is still much work to be done because we still see empty stadiums during league games, hopefully, attendance will keep improving. And the country should also be culturally flexible so that people

This is a number that any superstar would be tempted by. Therefore, even a 24-year-old star like Vinicius can imagine a near future, far from Real Madrid and Europe, to reach the mystical world of the East. But apart from wanting to continue writing his own story at the Bernabeu, the prospect of winning the Ballon d'Or for the first time is also a major reason to keep Vinicius until the end of this season.The Saudi Arabian government highly values ​​Vinicius' talent and image. They expect the Brazilian player to become the new ambassador of the country's football. Saudi Arabia is looking to use its wealth and the image of its young players to promote its football league. I see their ambition to have their league on par with European leagues. This story can happen but right now Saudi Arabia is still not the ideal place for young players to choose as a destination.

Osimhen is currently a player whose career I can say is going downhill seriously, there is no information that European clubs want to release his contract. If Osimhen wants a high salary and has no ambition to develop his career, Saudi Arabia would suit him.

He would definitely be tempted by the offer, the Saudi teams know his worth and know what he is capable of doing that’s why they brought such offer but the fact that Vinicius is playing for Real Madrid will make it very difficult for him to consider accepting it. He has won almost everything there is and now i am sure he would want to win the Ballon D’or and World Cup and he definitely knows that moving to Saudi will only reduce his chances of winning them, he could be dropped from the National team which would mean that there is no way he would be winning the world cup or Ballon D’or.  He is still very much young and currently enjoying life at the club so there is no reason to want to leave the club.

Osimhen made it clear he is not interested in signing for any Saudi club yet as he still want to play in Europe and achieve more despite all the tempting offers and PSG don’t seem to want him for now and Chelsea are still yet to come to conclusions with him regarding his wages.

We are having just second season in Saudi Pro League after huge investments by organizers, but soccer fever is spreading around all country most of the kids are having their soccer balls and their parents are giving them good support for having good skills from early age this is huge development in this region because after watching few videos and images now I have strong feeling their investment if working for them.



In next few years, we will be having this country one of the hub for soccer in Asian region because their hard work is giving them good return of their investment, and they are having the good number of future players as we will be having 2034 FIFA World Cup we will be having the good number of local fans those will be ready for cheering all top teams from the world.

It still feels the same if we look at the standings so far and even though this is still the first week, Al-Hilal has proven that they are not an easy team to be shifted from the top. Maybe besides Al-Hilal, there is Al-Qadsiah who made their debut in the Saudi league with a landslide victory and placed their position just below Al-Hilal.

Honestly, I want to know what will happen if Al-Hilal will face Al-Qadsiah considering that this promotion team is also no less good and maybe everything will be answered when the time comes. Anyway, with so many teams drawing and losing, the competition will be even more exciting every week and teams like Al-Nassr, Al-Shabab, and Damac will be even more challenged by the fairly bad situation they are currently facing.

So true. In fact, I personally would prefer if a talented young player like Vini Jr remained in Europe and continued to achieve more brilliant achievements. Because after all, Vini Jr could even be a strong candidate to win the Ballon d'Or. And that is why this player should not leave European football for now. I am happy that Al-ahli is striving to attract more talented young European players. But I think for Vini Jr it is still not time for this player to leave Real Madrid. And Real Madrid certainly won't let it happen.

Well about Osimhen we know this player always has the desire to play for a big club. And he should still be able to find a club that makes him comfortable in Europe. But currently the transfer market is almost over but Osimhen has not yet received certainty. But Osimhen's agent has made a statement indicating that Osimhen will remain in Europe.
(Sourch: https://kabarmegapolitan.pikiran-rakyat.com/sport/pr-1748490595/agen-osimhen-keluarkan-pernyataan-terkait-rumor-kepindahan-ke-saudi-arabia)

In my opinion, one of the reasons Vinicius Jr. refused the offer because indeed European professional players who still have the age are not too young, he will definitely think about his career to continue to struggle to get high achievements so that in old age he gets a lot of advertising offers or other things that make his old age became more comfortable like Ronaldo and Messi who became one of the professional players and would not worry in his old age.
Large amounts of money can run out in a short time but a career in football will continue to be remembered until the player is old.
For Al-Ahli who pursued Osimhen, it was impossible and would never happen as long as Osimhen did not have a big career in Europe.

Al Nassr team failed to perform patiently for long periods of time, although the attack department is strong but the defense department is at least weak. Because the attacking department has Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane as one of the champions of European players.  But coming to the Saudi league, they have performed very well, but usually it is never possible to win a team relying on two players. Attacking players from the opposing team can be successful as defenders are usually a draw in this match due to weakness.

Al Nassr should realize that Ronaldo is no longer at the peak of his current career so Al Nassr should not expect much from Ronaldo, but even so far Ronaldo is still able to make a great contribution to every victory their get but if their expect Ronaldo to carry Al Nassr alone of course he is not able to do it anymore at this time,  So indeed Al Nassr needs to recruit several players who can indeed support Ronaldo well in every of their matches, I think when Al Nassr gets players who are able to understand Ronaldo as well  like as Ozil then maybe they will see the flow of goals from Ronaldo continue to happen later.

In addition, al nassr need to reconsider and evaluate their current defense, because in some matches they played it was not the attacking line that was the main problem, but none other than their defense which was very fragile and was not able to play solidly and focus when their opponent pressed very hard which ultimately broke their victory in several match.
