Today we have a saudi league game, but in the champiosn league of asia  between Al Nassr and Al fayha we can expect an easy win for the Cristiano Ronaldo team, which is way better but in the first game we see they only can make a 1 goal diference between them.

Couldn't play much after joining the Saudi league. The team did not get as much as they expected from him, but as a reputable player, his presence in the team was not less. He has no chance of recovering quickly after losing his country's qualifiers and get injury. With a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee ruptured, it's easy to assume he won't be able to recover quickly in that area. But the good news is that Al Hilal have reached their goal without his contribution. Al Hilal occupy the top spot by almost 7 points from their nearest rivals. There could definitely be better replacements in the next sessions.

Literally, al hilal didn't even need to get neymar from PSG. In fact, Savic and Mitrovic were enough to make the club to be the strongest club in the league. Even al hilal and nassr with so numerous stars were unable beating it. The domination from al hilal was obviously absolute. Im feeling so damn good with al hilal's performance.
I was also very convenient with the performance from the club. There should not need for the club to get new players. We have got a winner for this season and that's al hilal. The performance from this club is so amazing.

I don't even know what's point to get neymar from PSG while it has the strongest team in the league. If it's related to push the popularity from the club and i must say that's useless transfer by al hilal. Neymar's name was not as big as messi.
Consequently, bringing him on board would only contribute to the club's ongoing string of mishaps. That's the biggest mistake from al hilal. The club is wasting a lot of resources on one player instead of recruiting some good players.

The price of mitrovic was even cheaper compared to the neymar but he was very useful for the club. Neymar was a disaster for the club and i don't know why people do like to see him stay in the club.

Al-hilal actually already has a good squad even without bringing in Neymar. But it seems that this club brought in Neymar to attract more attention from the football world to the SPL. And it worked. Apart from that, I see that the performance of SPL clubs has also increased after bringing in many European players. Because maybe local players can also learn more from these senior European players. And therefore I predict that Saudi Arabian football will improve more rapidly from now on. It's not just about popularity but also their performance or the quality of their game.

Al-nassr has started the match again and managed to win the match against Al-fateh and I see that Al-nassr's performance is still good and of course the captain (Cristiano Ronaldo) also scored a goal in the 17th minute and Otavinho also contributed a goal in the 72nd minute which In the end, Al-Nassr won the match with a score of 2-1.

but Jorge Jesus' troops also competed against Al-Raed and the players' performance was also very great and I was amazed by Mitrovic's performance who scored 2 goals and K.koulibaly was also very great even though he was in defense but his performance was very great and was able to score goals and finally the match ended won by Al-hilal with a score of 3-1.

of course this will make it difficult for Al-nassr to compete with Al-hilal in the race for the title because Al-hilal's squad is really strong and Jorge Jesus is really great at training his men and I'm sure it looks like Al-hilal will have great potential to win the season's trophy This.

This problem is indeed quite complex and the enthusiasm that existed previously when joining a Saudi league team has reached a saturation point for several European players. Indeed, from the climate to the environment, it will have a full impact on making everyone feel at home and on the other hand, if they cannot adapt well then they will choose to leave. So far only Henderson has chosen to leave the Saudi league and I think if there is no more room for European players to come in next season then this league will also be quiet again.

However, I believe that the invested funds have not yet been exhausted and the Saudi league can still achieve several targets for European players that they have not been able to realize this season. Players come because the money is tempting, it is normal and conversely, if they come for that, it is better to be prepared for the risks involved. I think the indifferent attitude that sometimes appears from European players can be a serious problem and especially here the league itself will be affected badly.

You are right and they are the people who work behind the scenes and provide enormous financial support to advance the SPL or the teams that compete in it not only to make money and have fun but also because they want to make the SPL big and popular league.
We all admit that the owners and investors in every SPL team really suppress excessive financial use in bringing in various great players and all of them have proven their success.
Currently, the SPL has become one of the most popular and has attracted the interest of many football fans to follow and participate in enjoying the SPL competition so that with all this, it has also succeeded in making the SPL competition with large turnover of money.
No one would have thought that the SPL would develop so rapidly like this and of course many people previously stated that the SPL would only be an ordinary domestic league, but in reality now the SPL is not just an ordinary domestic league but has become one of the biggest leagues.

Of course, because they spend more money, but in the future they can also make more money, this is sacrifice that is worth it for long-term success.

Can they rely upon their financial condition forver? It will be another disaster caused by real madrid will never ever got profit from what they have ben invested. Im sure that saudi pro league was using a lot of resources to push the popularity from this league. Let's imagine that when these old players will retire someday.
It will be also making the league to get another setback. So, the league shall not only focus on how to buy the players but it must be also focusing on how to build good environment to make european players feel convenient to stay in the saudi pro league. This is the most possible solution that can be done by saudi pro league.

The only problem is how long saudi can only rely with the money to help the club gets demand by recruiting european players? we have seen that many times that if this is not fully worked. You can see that some players have been trying to exodus back again to the european competition.
This is also destroying the reputation of the league as well as there would be some bad reviews about this, i think that this can become the consequence when you were hiring people caused by money. They were not willing to play in this league but they came due to the money.
So, we can take this as the main evaluation to consider whether it was successful or not.

In early days of this season their best intention of bringing these big names were they were looking for big fan base and this was possible with the name of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi but as Messi rejected their offer and go to MLS then Saudi League organizers were looking for another top player from the South America, and they have Neymar even all we have known about him, he is mostly injury prone and also having many other troubles but still Al Hilal take this risk which ends in fail so after this now they are still had good quality players which are giving their best, and they are capable of having good performance with most chances in this season they are going to win title, and we will have some good changes from them in coming season which will give them good improvement.

Yes, that's how they promote their league to be watched by football fans from all over the world, if they don't do that, the Saudi League will not grow further and only Arabs will watch matches in the Saudi League, so they bring in several famous star players who have many fans to attract more interest from football fans to watch their favorite players play in different leagues and always support them wherever their favorite players are, but there are also those whose careers fade after playing in the Saudi league because declining performance can make fans disappointed and not again supporting his favorite player.

It doesn't matter how expensive the star players are because the Saudi League's finances are very good so they don't have a problem having to spend quite a lot of money to buy star players from different leagues, if only Lionel Messi were in the Saudi League, maybe now the Saudi League is getting more famous but unfortunately Lionel Messi prefers MLS and spends his football career there even though we all know that the Saudi League is better than MLS. Likewise, it is rumored that Karim Benzema does not feel at home in the Saudi league, but in fact this is still just a rumor because Karim Benzema is still playing with Ittihad to this day.

Saudi Professional League becomes more famous when Cristiano Ronaldo joined them and some other star players from Europe participated in like Benzema, Neymar, Mane, Brozovic ... This league gets more traffic rate from European football fans as some of them will watch matches in Saudi Professional League. It's their league growth globally but in their nation, the growth is not too much. There are many matches with so little audiences on stadiums and it's not good for their league attraction. Playing in many stadiums in Saudi Arabia is like playing matches during pandemic and serious quarantine.

He shown some signals that he will become their league brand ambassador and can be an owner of a club there or spent money to buy shares of a big club there.

Effects from Cristiano Ronaldo on Saudi Professional League are already seen but probably will become bigger and more meaningful in coming years like Zico's effects on Japanese League.

The changes made by several teams in the Saudi Arabian League have made the Saudi Arabian League increasingly attract more viewers throughout the world. Well, where I live, the Saudi Arabian League is becoming increasingly popular because of none other than the big influence of Ronaldo who joined Al Nassr. So it's not surprising that Ronaldo big name is what made the popularity of the Saudi League soar as the league is the most influential at the Asian level.

However, if Ronaldo no longer plays in the Saudi Arabian league, I think the popularity of the Saudi Arabian league will decrease and that must be considered as best as possible by the management of the Saudi Arabian league. They must be able to maintain the Saudi Rana League which is the best compared to other Asian leagues. If you look at Ronaldo who continues to contribute to Al Nassr, of course the fans hope that Ronaldo will stay with Al Nassr for a long time.

I can agree that the main target is to attract people's attention around the world to watch Saudi Pro League. If more people are watching Saudi Pro League, there will be more companies and partnerships joining the league development. When Saudi Pro League has many super stars in football, all the parties in Saudi will get the advantage of its popularity. I think they already reach this target. However, the consistency and quality of the players are also important because it is a part of the entertainment. People will be unsatisfied if the super stars always played underperformance.

Saudi teams have huge money, they will always attract more top players joining Saudi Pro League. The Saudi teams won't be worried about the wealth of the players, why? As long as the players can give the entertainment for Saudi, they won't mind with high salaries.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr are trending in SPL, they don't give up as we all expects, instead they absorb and reciprocate their energy to become more energizing for the balance level of these clubs. Al Ittihad players are good enough but they're not consider big names comparable to the undisputed GOAT in football. In the first place, there's absolutely no player comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabia Pro League. Ronaldo is the light that pave way for most of these European players, we shouldn't forget that in a hurry. Things will falls easier for players that have shoots their best to become key players for their players.

What I hope is that things can change for him, because in reality this team has a great player, that is something that things can be changing radically, I can say that Benzema has not adapted, perhaps because of the language , for many reasons, because of the weather, all this does affect a player, but above all the Communit y, one of the things you can do quickly is learn +Arabic so that things are better, it is a great opportunity for you do it, I don't know, but something is happening to the player, at this moment I am not speculating, but it could be said that since he has already joined the team things can change for the better, I hope so, just me I remember everything he has done for Madrid, for his lifelong club, with everything he shared with the most prominent players and because his great category has led him to win the best football tournaments.

It's time for this player to give it his all, because otherwise he could leave Arab football in a very bad way, it's not the right idea because basically this is where he should shine, he shouldn't be looking for anything else, I know he left Arabnia Maybe he was able to solve his problems, but it seems that there are many mysteries, it is not known why it is reported that the player does not perform and well, there is room for speculation that it is something very Personal.

Karim Benzema to Arsenal: Former Real Madrid star's current salary, stats, height and latest transfer news




Source: https://www.nationalworld.com/sport/football/karim-benzema-to-arsenal-former-real-madrid-stars-current-salary-stats-height-and-latest-transfer-news-4525878

Well, it is not known very well, until now this type of information has come out but it is something that I see as very peaceful and unlikely to happen, the fact that he goes back to the PL well I think it would be a repeat for the Frenchman, although I think that DB should not leave things like this with the Arab team, he should adapt and shine there, just as many have done, he is a very good friend of CR7, and well that should mean that he can meet with him to see how I can help him, considering how CR7 is, I think I would have no problem giving him advice, so I think it is something very appropriate that he could do it, they may communicate or something, but I think Brenzema should do better in that type of football.

Some say that moving to Arab football means going down a level and no, not at all, for me Arab football is just as CR7 said, it is above Ligue 1, and obviously it is far above MLS. .

The thing about Al-Hilal is that they didn't get players who had a lot of followers, they got players they can afford and still not beyond their prime. Look at that team, tell me which one of them has fame like Ronaldo has, Ronaldo probably has more instagram followers than the entire Al-Hilal team combined, and yet does he take the spot thanks to that?

It goes to show you that we are talking about a team that cared about being good, and wanted to really just get the title. They were third last year and will win it this year, lets see how teams will be built for next year but if they keep this up, and use the money to get the best player instead of the most famous, then they could very well dominate this league.

You have mostly repeated what I said with some paraphrases, but there is one huge point of contention that I still disagree with.

In my opinion, when a top star delivering top performances in one of the top leagues in Europe for some of the best teams goes to Saudi Arabia, what do you expect from him? I expect from him that it goes the way it goes for Ronaldo. Ronaldo is a top player, so he performs well in any league and even more so in the Saudi Professional League although you see it's declining and that is due to several factors, one of them being motivation for such a competitive guy who is used to the biggest audiences in the world.

Benzema had this one outstanding season and that's it. He was an above average striker with 0.54 goals per game while playing for the best team in the world, which we know makes striking easier. I don't know why everyone thinks he was this world class unbelievable striker during his career. He was for one season, but apart from that he was an important part of the Real Madrid team, but compared to many other strikers that Real Madrid had in the past, there are several that have been better than him. 0.54 goals means about 20 - 21 goals per season. That's very good and ok you can call it world class. But even Gareth Bale got close to that and man, how often did he come from the bench?

That's why his performance at Al Ittihad is pretty thin.

With the very impressive results that Al Hilal managed to have this season without Neymar, then why did Al Hilal buy Neymar and I am very curious about the purpose of Al Hilal buying Neymar. Whether Al Hilal just following the trend or Al Hilal really purely aims to strengthen its squad with star players like Neymar. But yes, the fact is that Neymar has only played a few times since Neymar arrival at Al Hilal, if I'm not mistaken Neymar only played 3 matches for Al Hilal. After that, Neymar injured until now and made Neymar body fatter now like a retired player, it's very funny. But indeed, as long as Al Hilal is still able to pay Neymar salary then it will be fine. But yes, if I consider what is happening right now about Neymar condition, it doesn't seem like a good situation either because with a fatter body like that it will certainly make Neymar unable to play as well as before.

I was not seeing it but Al Hilala remains undefeated in this competition and only two draws, mega campaing they are doing, and all this without Neymar really impressive, only 10 goals allowed half less than the second best defense team who has only 22 goals allowed, so they are making good on offensive and also in the defense. Claps for the coach.
