It seems to me that things with Benzema are improving, I would also like things to improve with him and not leave the team, for that reason the bonus of assistance is unique, here we are very critical, but the truth is we don't know That Benezema and the coach have understood so many problems that Benzema has to leave like this, if things improve in this football for the player then he is welcome, but let it be to improve the career of the footballer, however these things always have to happen for the Continuous improvement of both the player and the team.

Regarding the Al Nassr party, I think the same, it is a shame that Al Nassr cannot do much, things are already very decided in favor of Al Hilal and that is evident, however things are still interesting in these two because of the trivality they have.

In that match, Benzema, who played 75 minutes, contributed by creating 1 assist. And it's nice to see this player playing there again. Hopefully he can get along better with the coach there and can understand each other better so that disputes don't happen again. Although there are many rumors circulating about Benzema leaving, I hope that is not true. But I probably wouldn't mind it if Benzema went to another SPL club.  
Al-ittihad was able to win today's match quite comfortably and yeah it was a pretty good match. I didn't watch from the start because I forgot their match schedule. But yeah, I was quite entertained by the match. For today Al-Nassr will also play against Al-ta'ee and Al-hilal will also play against Al-Shabab. I think I would be more interested in seeing al-nassr. Because of the Al-Hilal fight I think they will win as usual. So I don't feel the need to watch it. Because I am sure about my bet.

Al Ittihad and Al Fayha played a very competitive game today. Al Ittihad team performed well in this game, their players are very experienced because European player Karim Benzema has played a significant role in today's game. Because of his intelligence and tactics, Al Ittihad team was able to score goals, although Al Fayha team scored a goal in the beginning, but in the end of the match, Al Ittihad team won 3-1. Al Ittihad's attacks were the most difficult which the reverse goalkeeper could not prevent despite the hard work by Al Fayha's defenders and goalkeepers.

Matheus Pereira the player of Al Hilal is currently playing on loan for Cruzeiro in his country while officially the player of Al Hilal.
Now it seems prefers to stay in Cruzeiro for a longer time and he doesn't want to come back to the Saudi League. However, if he wants to do that, first Matheus Pereira should make Al Hilal to accept this.
We know Al Hilal doesn't need Matheus Pereira in their team and if they put Matheus Pereira for sale maybe this can be a smart move from this team because even in the next season they won't need to use Matheus Pereira.
Pedro Martins from Cruzeiro said Pereira is happy in Cruzeiro and they will start talking about Pereira to Al Hilal.

It was very unfortunate Benzema failed to score through penalty kick. On the other hand, Al Feiha striker succeeded scoring a goal from penalty kick. People must try to compare the ability between these players. They must criticize Benzema due to the failure of scoring goal from penalty kick. Well, not sure why Benzema failed, but it should be an easy thing for him. I'm sure Benzema has a problem in his confidence.

Kane is a great midfielder, he should be in a better team. I think he is the leader of Al Ittihad midfielders, he could arrange the attacking and defense scheme. As long as Al Ittihad has Kante, their midfield line will be good enough. However, I see a bit problem with Al Ittihad defenders, they look rather weak. Al Ittihad already got 34 conceeded goals so far.

When you say about sharing 1 point and if at that time you bet on a draw, I think you get a big profit from that match.
Initially I thought that Al Ahli could win this match when the Al Ahli players seemed to control the ball very well and managed to score early.
But what surprised me was that Al-Ettifaq very quickly counterattacked and was able to try to put pressure on Al Ahli and luckily in the second half Al-Ammar managed to score 1 score and managed to end the match with a draw.
Even though you only get 1 point, you can at least get an additional point because if Ittihad is currently under Al Ahli, it is getting closer to the points that Al Ahli has.
Actually Al Ahli could have won but was a little disappointed when in the 2nd half Al Ahli lost focus and always failed to get an additional score.

I don't dare say the same thing as you said, especially since we don't really know what they are really planning. what is certain is that this is related to business, politics and matters related to it, one of the underlying reasons is Ronaldo who was named as the ambassador for the 2030 Saudi Arabian World Cup. Apart from that, PIF was involved in acquiring 4 clubs at once with a very fantastic investment. Apart from being one of Newcastle's largest shareholders, PIF is also trying to develop football in Saudi. plus, they have big plans in their projects apart from football. Moreover, it is not only football that is under the auspices of PIF, several other types of sports are also sponsored by this investment company owned by the Saudi Kingdom. Apart from that, Saudi is starting to move in other businesses if I refer to my reading. one of them, they started through football.

For the other points you said, so far I am no longer up-to-date regarding information regarding what you said on several points. My focus at the moment is nothing more than football and the development of this competition. Well, we'll see what happens next. Can what you say be proven, or is it just rumors and ordinary news? because, there is no link that you shared in this post.

Now we know that Al-Hilal are just like the Man City of the Epl as they’re the club with the highest wins of the league title as even last 2 season they had am hattrick of the league and that means they’re used to winning the league and are constant winners. For this reason I think the only feat they’re trying to achieve is seeing if they can go unbeaten to win the league this season.

 ⁠Yes this is one reason why you see them just trying to maintain their level of play and not wanting to take a match as a random match rather they go into every match with the mindset of winning it. As for next season, they might probably still remain dominant except other clubs like Al-NAssr tries to get a balance in their team. This is what makes this Al-Hilal team stand out, even though most of her key players aren’t producing on optimum stage yet they have a balanced squad and can challenge for with that squad.

 Al-Hilal going on can still keep dominating but I think this will only make the league look boring and be probably seen as a Farmer’s league because other teams will not be struggling as they’re already know Al-Hilal will be having the victory at the end of the day. ⁠Teams in the SPL should try to improve on how they play and get proper recruitments to their teams as we’ll want to see healthy competitions next season other than what we’re seeing this season. As any repetition of this season’s performance will mean other teams aren’t serious and ready to challenge.

Benzema failed to take the penalty kick properly. Even though it was an opportunity for him and his team to make a different match even though Al Ittihad was now ahead of Al-Fayha.
Five minutes after Benzema failed to execute a penalty, Al-Fayha also got it but Sabiri, who stepped up as the executor, managed to do it well.

Kante. He is the player who most attracts my attention for this match. The French player who has won various trophies ranging from club trophies in the league he once strengthened to the trophy that all football players dream of, namely the World Cup trophy, played quite well in this match.
If I had a hand in choosing, I would choose him to be the best player for this match.

In Saudi Professional League, Al Akhdoud vs Al-Raed two teams are already 1-1 on the field to play. I can see a lot of hard fighting in this match today. Both teams have very good players. I can guess which team will win this match.  No. However, if two teams perform equally, the match will be more likely to be a draw. Let's see which team can win today's match.

Al-Ahli are playing away against Al-Ettifaq, yet they are leading with 1 goal scored in the first 10 minutes of the game. They are pushing while Al-Ettifaq barely made an attempt but there is enough time for both teams to add more goals.

Al-Ittihad are playing right now against Al Feiha and there is no real attempt until now and the score is still 0 - 0. Not sure but it doesn't seem that we will see many goals in this game unless Al Feiha make many mistakes later..

For now it seems that no club in Europe can match the capacity of clubs from the Arab League to buy and even pay old players at fantastic prices, and that is why in recent weeks the SPL authorities have issued statements that many clubs are currently experiencing heavy losses after the imbalance between income (selling players) and spending (buying players), But I don't think it will affect the top clubs of the SPL too much because of their strong finances

Arab league and other leagues have no difference at all because there will be rich clubs that continue to dominate and mediocre clubs who continue to try to stay in the league with their weak finances like SPL clubs who are at the bottom of the table at the moment, I think it is difficult for the bottom clubs of the Arab League to create miracles because indeed the rules of the Arab League tend to benefit teams that have strong finances at the moment, the latest regulations from the SPL authorities certainly make it very difficult for mediocre clubs to compete, currently the SPL authorities plan to make new rules if each team can register up to 10 foreign or European players to the first team and this number is up by two compared to 8 players allowed this season, it is clear that the regulation will trigger rich club clubs to hunt many top European players next season and directly create competition in the SPL will be tighter and more difficult, especially for the bottom team.

Al Ahli is going to win the game because they're better than Al-Ettifaq, Al Ahli has won more games this season and has more points than Al-Ettifaq, they're in the 3rd spot on the table and knowing Al-Nassr is the team that they're chasing after and how good Al nassr have also being playing they shouldn't let the 9 points they have between them and Al nassr to be extended to 12 points or they won't be able to catch up to Al nassr or finally overtake them. Al-Ettifaq and Al Ahli have equal battles as both team's have being playing with similar strengths when they meet but for this game I think Al Ahli will win. Al-Ettifaq doesn't have a good coach because their current coach doesn't have a good record as he's an average coach with a good player record when he was still a player but as a manager, he needs to learn more about managing a club.

Even though Al Ettifaq acts as host, it looks like victory will be on Al Ahli side. Because on paper Al Ahli are slightly better and more consistent than Al Ettifaq, they have better squad depth. But there is a possibility that both of them will play a draw, head to head meetings between the two teams in the last 5 meetings show that they both recorded 2 wins and two losses and one draw.

Of course, there are people who refuse quite big offers in their lives, for example, you have worked in an office for a long time and the salary is not very high, then there is a boss who wants to work with you because you have it. talent for intelligence and you are offered double the salary. or 3x the monthly payment you get. Of course, you won't refuse the offer, right and you will cooperate with the party offering it.

Yes, if it is associated with European players, as I said in the example above, it will not feel strange and this is a normal thing that happens or is experienced by someone or a football player. If someone gives them or offers them to work together for a higher salary than what they pay in their country, they will definitely think about accepting the offer because this is also said to be a new business opportunity in their life.
So from this it can be explained that European leaders who are contracted with high salaries by Saudi Arabia will of course try to work as well as possible and for Saudi Arabia by contracting the best and most well-known European players here, Saudi Arabia will also feel the benefits. because by contributing with well-known European players, football in Saudi Arabia will also be known throughout the world of football.

Al-Ettifaq will meet Al-Ahli today and to be honest this is a match that is quite difficult to predict. We know that Al-Ahli is in a better position but it cannot be ruled out that Al-Ettifaq will prevent them from winning. As the host, of course Al-Ettifaq doesn't want to lose and Steven Gerrard has to set a good strategy to embarrass Al-Ahli.

But it won't be easy either because Al-Ahli's attack will be led by the dangerous trio of Saint Maximin, Firmino, and Mahrez who will always threaten Al-Ettifaq's defense during the match. Al-Ahli really needs an additional 3 points to widen the gap from Al-Ittihad, while Al-Ettifaq also has to win in order to return to the top 4 of the standings in the remaining matches.

What are your predictions for this match? is it possible that the two teams only share one point?

Money is very attractive for human and with football players who have very short career, they will have to pay more attention on money they can earn in their player career.

It is undeniable factor with many players with offers from Saudi Arabia when they can earn x5, x10 salary than if they stay in Europe. Taking risk and playing in Saudi Arabia in one to three seasons will help European players to be richer. If I was them, I will accept the offer too because if I don't take risk and accept good financial offer, when I end my player career, my finance will not be too good.

Especially the European players who came to the Saudi professional league were mainly attracted to the Saudi clubs because of the greed of extra money. If Karim Benzema wants to return to the Europa League, he will have to work hard. Because you have to enter the European clubs only by increasing the performance. But if Karim Benzema goes back to the Europa League now, I don't think he will be able to retain the honor of the past.

In fact, it is possible that Benzema will return to the European league, but the problem is that Benzema is still under contract with the Al Ittihad team until 2026 and his salary is very large at Al Ittihad, the European team might consider this if they want to accept him, especially at his current age, he is already prone to injury and its perhaps potential decreases. In my opinion, the European teams that recruited French players were too brave and did not consider the risks they would face in the future.

This season Al Nassr has no hope of breaking the strength of Al Hilal who are in good condition so far this season and have not been defeated so Al Nassr will not be able to catch up because Al Hilal is already at the top of the standings with a margin that is impossible for Al Nassr to achieve because of Al Nassr's performance not as consistent as Al Hilal, especially since the league only has a few games left so it's quite clear that Al Hilal will win the Saudi Pro League title this season. At least Al Nassr can still compete again next season with Al Hilal if they are able to improve their performance to be stronger and more consistent. Al Nassr already has several good players so don't let it go to waste and not get any results, especially the Saudi Pro League title.

It's true that I have also said that before that the difference is quite clearly visible, Al Hilal's midfield and back line are strong enough so they don't concede goals easily, as well as this, coupled with a good attack line, this makes Al Hilal the strongest club in the league at the moment and no club has beaten him yet. Al Nassr must learn a lot about Al Hilal's performance and improve the performance of their back line so that they can compete strongly with Al Hilal next season, who knows, Al Nassr will win the title if all their players can perform optimally.
