Ronaldo is a disciplined player, he knows how to maintain his physical in a good condition. He is one of the top players who rarely got injured, that's why he can play optimally until the end of the season. He proves that he still can score more than 40 goals with Al Nassr this season. 33 goals in SPL, 6 goals in AFC champions league, 3 goals in King Cup. He already scored 42 goals so far. This achievement won't be easy to achieve although for a young player under 25 years old. You're right, Ronaldo actually has done his job very well. He is just unlucky with Al Nassr that still can't win SPL title for this season.

Ronaldo's stats for the season 2023/2024.

I think it is still a rumor, there is no official statement from Xabi Alonso about this issue.
It is surely very surprising if Ronaldo will return to European competition. If Ronaldo will be a part of Leverkusen squad, it will be a big addition for Leverkusen. However, there should be the current strikers to leave Leverkusen. Borja Iglesias will be back to Real Betis, Adam Hlozek or Patrik Schick probably leaves Leverkusen.

I was so focused on Bayer Levekusen's 49-game unbeaten run that I never noticed Al Hilal achieving something similar in the SPL. The members of the team will be proud of themselves that they have maintained their record of winning the league even though they do not have one of the greatest players in the world of football (Cristiano Ronaldo).

It is Ronaldo's second season in the league, and still unable to win the league for his club. It shows the league is not as easy as many people see it to be.

If Ronaldo can win the league for Al Nassr, it would be one of his biggest achievements.

Al-Hilal 4 - 1 Al-Hazm

This was a game in which the result was already expected, Al Hilal was playing against a team that has the worst performance in the league, a team that played 31 games and only won in 3 games, a team that is in last place in the league. table. while Al Hilal is the best team in the league, they had the best performance this season in which they played 31 games without losing in any game, something that is unbelievable, they did not have any defeat in league games. Even without Neymar on the field throughout the season, Al Hilal still managed to have an unbelievable performance, they won 29 games and had 2 draws and became champions without losing in any game.

al hilal coach, whenever he goes to a team he manages to make that team play very well to the point that people like the way the team plays and he manages to win the leagues. He is an excellent coach, I hope that one day he can become a coach of a great premier league team and win titles. If he went to Manchester United, I believe that in 2 years he would turn Manchester United into a team that plays well without spending a lot of money on unnecessary signings



31 games, 29 wins, 2 draws, 0 defeats. congratulations Al Hilal

In the match against Al Hazm, Al Hilal really dominated the match. They have no difficulty, they easily won the match. 4 goals made by Al Hilal players indicated that Al Hazm defense is very weak. It is too easy for Al Hilal attackers.

Well, Al Hilal finally could win the trophy of Saudi league although the season isn't over yet. Al Hilal performed perfectly in Saudi league for this season, they keep the unbeaten status until now. Although they were eliminated in AFC Champions league, they can secure the trophy of SPL. Al Hilal succeed to optimize the potential of their European star players and local players of Saudi. The good teamwork among the players of Al Hilal is the key of their success in this season. Even if it is not the first time Al Hilal won the trophy of Saudi league, this season seems special because they are competing with Al Nassr which has a big star player like Ronaldo. Anyway congratulations for Al Hilal! 

I think that Al Hilal has shown better consistency and has taken every game seriously while Al Nassr has thought that since we have Cristiano with us most likely we are going to dominate,the funny thing is that in 2 years they couldn't and Cristiano contract is about to end here in January so let's see what happens next for him.I don't think that winning the cup for Al Nassr justifies their investments as the King Cup is something they could have maybe won even without Ronaldo meanwhile the last encounter against Al Hilal I am sure that Al Nassr would want much more to win that and to show everyone that yes Al Hilal can lose a game in the Pro League and we are the only ones who can make them lose.

Jorge Jesus' team has proven to Al Nassr that even though they are not strengthened like the depth of players that Luis Casto's team has, Al Hilal is able to dominate throughout the matches they play without losing even in the Saudi Pro league. in the match against Al Hazm, Al Hilal ended the hunt for the trophy and claimed it as theirs. even though there are still three matches remaining, it looks like Al Hilal will continue their consistency until the last week without defeat. The League title has been achieved, Al Hilal only needs to beat Al Nassr in the King's Cup. However, before this match, in week 32, Al Hilal will visit Al Nassr's home ground to complete the remaining matches they have to play. Whether they win or lose, it doesn't matter to Jorge Jesus' team. However, because these two teams are rivals, it seems that Al Hilal will not waste any match in defeating the opposing teams until the end of the competition. Moreover, winning is important to bring down the mentality of the opposing team later. The reason is, the pressure will come in the King's Cup if Al Hilal wins the second meeting against Al Nassr.

By the way, congratulations to Al Hilal for winning back the trophy that Al Ittihad previously lost. Now, there are two quite exciting matches, none other than Al Nassr hosting Al Hilal. after that, the fight in the King's Cup.

This season hasn’t been a great one Al-Nassr as they’re seen to majorly struggle this season  especially after the poor results they have been having this season. I think the main reason why they’re suffering like this is because of how they added players in the summer as that wasn’t a better way to recruit players.

 ⁠Like why just recruit attackers and leave your defense line damn open and vulnerable. I think this is a big indication that the club needs to do better recruitment during the summer in trying to build a more balanced squad as this will help them be able to compete amongst other teams in the league.

 ⁠Imagine how much absence of the 2 major stars they aquired, Benzema and Kante is causing them or has caussed them, I think this is an eye opener for the management to be able to sit up when it comes to transfer next season. Al-Hilal remains the only team who is undefeated in this competition but for Al-Ittihad, I think they don’t even come close to team like Al-Nassr or Al-Ahli. They are a big team and should be amongst competitors and not bench warmers in the league amd as such a massive amd proper recruitment will be a major boost for Al-Ittihad to be able to function well next season.

Congratulations to Al-Hilal who have officially become champions of the Saudi Arabian League, and the results of the match between Al Hilal vs Al Hazm which took place at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium ended with a score of 4-1 and this match makes it official for Al-Hilal to win the Saudi Arabian League . And Al-Hilal is the team with the largest collection of Saudi Arabian League titles with 19 titles.
Al-Hazm is the team that occupies the bottom position of the standings and it is certain that the top of the standings, namely Al-Hilal, will definitely beat Al-Hamz. And Al-Nassr has a very large point difference with Al-Hilal, even if Ronaldo and his friends are able to wipe out the remaining three matches, they will only be able to collect 86 points and Al-Hilal 89 points.

Al Hilal destroyed Hazam with four goals and al hazm is not equal as an opponent to the al hilal. It means that if Al Hilal has already won the Saudi Professional League this season because team is leading with a lot of points. There are only three matches remaining in the competition, but al hilal leads by 12 points over al Nassr. Congratulations to Al Hilal for becoming the Saudi Pro League champion this season. It has a perfect result by winning the league with unbeatable record.

The club has worked extremely hard, and there are still three matches remaining at this time. To keep the record, the club must have won the league without losing to another club.

The gap is too large, and Al Nassr must be pleased to be in second place and the club must accept it. Al nassr can have last chance to avoid being trophyless as long as it can beat al hilal on king cup. It sounds impossible al nassr can do that. AL Hilal now has a chance to win another trophy if it can beat Al Nassr soon.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 33 goals in 28 matches in the Saudi Pro League so far.  And I think that is definitely really good from a player that is 39 years old. If I remember correctly, he scored 87 goals in a single season with Real Madrid and that was his best. When I remember those days, it definitely feels like something else. Sometimes I just open up FIFA 14 and play with the old Real Madrid squad. Trust me, the 27/28 year old Cristiano Ronaldo in FIFA 14 hits differently. I still remember playing him for multiple seasons and in the end he just retired around the age of 34. I also found a Quora post like that as well.

Anyway, he is 39 now and still going on. And even though we definitely are not in those times when he was scoring a lot for Real Madrid and breaking records regularly, he is still breaking records in the Saudi pro league. But I wonder how long he will be able to go on like this. Will Portugal seriously consider him to play in the next World Cup?

By the way here is the Quora post

We have to give credit where credit is due, while I believe that it is Ronaldo that is keeping Al Nassr at the second place and be this good, I also believe that it is Jorge Jesus who is making Al Hilal this good as well. I believe that if you kept Talisca healthy and gave Jorge Jesus to Al Nassr then we would have seen an Al Nassr championship this season as well. That dude managed to realize the strengths and weakness's of his squad and what the league is all about, and he planned a strategy according to that.

It is not always about what you are given, but more about what the other teams have as well, if you could arrange a situation that makes one side of your squad weak, but other teams are weak there too, then you should be fine, he studied the league very well.

Al-Hilal vs Al-Hazm two teams match in Saudi Professional League has already started. So far Al-Hilal team has scored 4 goals. Al-Hazm team has scored 1 goals so far. Al-Hazm team is likely to win today's match.  I don't see any hope. But if Al-Hazm team plays well, maybe they can score 1 more goal. But Al-Hilal team is at the bottom of the points table, so this Al-Hilal team has more chances to win.

Al Hilal met Al Hazm and in my opinion this match was not difficult for the Al Hilal squad because the Al Hazm team is not a team that is difficult to beat in terms of ability and the strength of the Al Hazm players is still below Al Hilal's level.
And in the first half, in the 15th minute, Al Hilal managed to score a goal towards the opponent's goal with a kick from Mitrovic and most likely thanks to this first goal, Al Hilal will continue to play optimally and with full confidence that Al Hilal can win and hopefully Until the end of this match, the Al Hilal players consistently played well in order to score as many goals as possible.

Meanwhile, for the Al Hazm team, this battle against the best team, namely Al Hilal, is clearly not easy for them because there is no denying the greatness of the playing performance of the Al Hilal players.
And Al Hazm in this match they have to play with a lot of hard work and high enthusiasm so they can prove to the audience that the Al Hazm team is also a good team.
Yes, even though judging from the position in the standings, the distance between the Al Hilal and Al Hazm teams is very far, namely the Al Hilal team is at the top of the standings while the Al Hazm team is in 18th position in the relegation zone in the standings.
Indeed, this match featured a match between a superior and undefeated team against a weak team that still had a lot of improvement and practice. And will Al Hilal remain an undefeated team until the end of the match or will the Al Hazm team prove to the audience that they can also fight Al Hilal's defense well?

This season the Saudi Pro League trophy belongs to Al Hilal, and overall Al Hilal is much better than Al Nassr. Ronaldo is still showing his never-ending sharp side, but all this has no impact on the club success and this is quite a shame. We can see that Al Hilal has not been touched by a single defeat this season at the domestic level, they were even able to beat Al Nassr. This is a sign that Al Nassr needs to build strength around Ronaldo so that they can become a balanced team. It would be useless if Ronaldo scored lots of goals in every match but at the end of the season they failed to win a trophy. Everyone admits that Ronaldo is one of the best players ever, but so far Ronaldo has not been able to present the Saudi Pro League trophy for Al Nassr. Al Nassr needs to recruit quality defenders in the transfer window next season, so that they can give them a higher chance of winning trophies.

SPL belongs to Al Hilal and Al Nassr because they're competent of handling top decisions. Ronaldo have proven to us that age is merely a number and we've watched how high he has attain and will continue to dominate and strive for titles. Al Nassr have always been the top team that's capable of measuring high level of success in tournaments and thrashing opponents. Cristiano Ronaldo keeps showing his potentials to explore and bagged goals for his team. He's not relenting and always deliver when Al Nassr lean on him to deliver.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who shows hard work, so we can see players who have abilities like him. Even though he is old, he still plays well and can be relied on by his team. Even his scoring ability this season has not diminished at all.

The difference is that now he plays more simply, relying on position and accuracy, while the young Ronaldo relies more on speed and skill. That is a good thing, because he can adapt to his abilities in old age, because there is no way he can rely on speed like when he was young.

I didn't even have that wild thought, Ronaldo will meet Xabi Alonso again but this time as coach and player. However, if that happens then that might be interesting too, but the problem is whether Xabi or Leverkusen want that, because they will now definitely focus more on young and mature players rather than players who will soon retire.

It cannot be denied that CR7 continues to maintain the special touch, many do not like him, they even tell him that he is taking someone else's place, that is what they say especially about the Portugal team, but you have to see how well he plays, his great physical condition, even much more than that of a 20-year-old player, so he takes nothing away, he does his job as it should be, now, there is a lot of speculation in some networks that Xabi Alonso asked the German Club that it wants CR7 in their ranks, and if that were the case he would be competing in a UCL, it would be something out of this world for CR7 to return to European football with the help of a successful Xabi Alonso.

Al Nassr has good perform with attacking line but lack perform with defensive players behind become more conceded goals of top fourth Saudi Pro League teams standings position. Currently Al Nassr lead as team most scoring goals reach 93 goals of 31 matches and has two goals remaining from Al Hilal scored 91 goals of 30 games.
But Al Hilal's defense performed well just conceded 19 goals and this season still unbeaten until playing 30 games, I think the problem with Al Nassr failure for winning domestic league trophy in this season behind how easily get conceded every match. Last games against Al Akhdoud, easily how conceded two goals and almost losing opportunity with three points before injury time goal from Marcelo Brozovic scoring two goals last match for Al Nassr.

This was another surprising defeat experienced by Al Ittihad this season, Al Ittihad have suffered 3 defeats in a row, they have fallen very far as defending champions. Of course this is a valuable lesson for management, that they have to build a balanced squad, not having to prioritize recruiting sharp attackers, but on the other hand they have a big weakness at the back. Apart from that, they also have to look for quality coaches, to be able to manage the potential of each player. Benzema is not in the lineup today, because he is currently undergoing treatment for a recurrence of his injury. Kante also can't do much today, Al Ittihad management must look for new players in the next transfer window.

Al Ittihad defeat today means they failed to move up to 4th place in the standings, in the remaining 3 matches Al Ittihad will also have to face Al Nassr, which will most likely cause them to lose points again. Overall, the competition for the Saudi Pro League trophy this season did not go as expected, I mean Al Hilal appeared very dominating by being undefeated. Teams such as Al Ittihad, Al Nassr and Al Ahli, which are also under the auspices of PIF, failed to provide resistance, even though they both had former European players in the team. To be able to become a team challenging for the title again next season, Al Ittihad must be active when the transfer window opens again.

Who watched the match between Al-Ittihad vs Al-Ettifaq? it doesn't make sense that Al-Ittihad conceded 5 goals in 60 minutes even though they are playing at home:D  indeed Al-Ittihad is not fighting over anything but being beaten at home by a big score is certainly embarrassing and the money they spent in the last transfer window was completely unsatisfactory. Since the start of the season we realized that Al-Ittihad had weaknesses in defense conceding more often and in almost every match, If Al-Ittihad wants to compete next season, they have to look for defensive players because there is no point in having a great striker without a capable defense. the next target is defenders from Europa League.
