It makes perfect sense to invest and make your child play. He wants to leave a legacy and still make money by making bets and investments throughout Arabia. For me it is a vision of the future and no longer of the player.

The thing between Ronaldo and Al Nassr is even more than this. Al Nassr know they hire some players because of Ronaldo and if Ronaldo leaves Al Nassr maybe they will have problems with hiring more top-level players. Also, Ronalod wants to achieve something he is in Al Nassr and that's why he won't leave soon.
Also, it seems Ronaldo is going to make some investment in Al Nassr, and even his son is playing there, which can show Ronaldo is going to stay and there and even there's a high chance to him to get retire in Al Nassr.

You can’t overlook the fact that Al-Hilal in one way or the other are looking unstoppable in the Saudi League as they’re having a wonderful season after being crowned with the trophy of Kings of Saudi Cup. The club are looking way anove every other in the league and the chances of them winning the league is very high.
 
 ⁠They remain unbeaten and they’re also in a chase for the quadruple which they’re in the semi final stage of both remaining competitions and the chances of them winning is quite high. After they’ve been able to defeat top teams like Al-Nassr and defending champions, Al-Ittihad, you can say this Al-Hilal team is really a fierce one. ⁠For their semi final match with Al-Ain the team that defeated Ronaldo and his teammates, this will be the AFC Champions League. Al-Hilal can be able to defeat them though this team shouldn’t be underrated as they could pose surprises.

 ⁠Al-Ain will sure be a big test for Al-Hilal’s determination level but I have high hopes that Al-Hilal will be able to go through. Their major issue could be being able to go past Al-Nassr in the final of the Saudi Super Cup as that could be a major challenge because Ronaldo will want to at least get his hands on a trophy this season.

Al Nassr will have to let go of Ronaldo before they can recruit more Europe experienced players while paying them high wages. The influence of Ronaldo will make any player coming to Al Nassr to start demanding high salary because they can not be playing for only Ronaldo to be benefitting with high pay. Al Nassr need to work on their defense because they are conceding too many goals for a top club. They do not have any problems with scoring but their defence is not very solid. Al Nassr needs to buy winger too, they do not have to be Europe players but they should be skillful players that can score and supplying the strikers with balls to score too. Al Nassr has already lost this season title because Al Hilal would not let any team to pass them and take the title from them. Al Nassr not starting the season well has caused them the title this season.

It sounds very funny, but the reality is that Al Hilal has managed to win the title without the help of Neymar, the world's top player who has been contracted to support the Al Hilal squad this season.
And this is also the first time Neymar has won the title in Saudi Arabia because previously Neymar was a member of a European players club. Apart from that, Al Hilal and friends will try to challenge Al Ain in the semifinal final at LCA with the aim of trying to get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo and friends at LCA this season, after Al Hilal has succeeded in getting rid of Al Ittihad who are the same representatives from Saudi Arabian league but now is the time for Al Hilal to prove that they are also able to get rid of Al Nassr which is supported by the world famous player, namely Cristiano Ronaldo.
Well, even though Al Hilal and Al Ain previously met each other in competition in 2023, this year they will meet again and whoever will be the champion will definitely be the best and undefeated.

Yes, with its current good performance, Al Hilal can definitely beat Al Ahli easily. The reason is that if you look at the head to head record of the two teams from their last 5 meetings, the result is that Al Ahli have never won against Al Hilal. So with this head to head record, we can clearly judge that Al Hilal is indeed no match for Al Ahli at the moment. Therefore, in this match I am 80 percent very sure that Al Hilal will definitely win the match and take home the full 3 points.

Then for the Al Nasr match against Al Feiha, I think this match will also be very easy for Al Nasr. The reason is, so far Al Nasr has never lost to Al Feiha in their last 5 meetings. So in this match Al Nasr also has a very big chance of bringing home the full 3 points.

And for the match between Al Hazm and Al Ittihad, I personally cannot say that Al Ittihad will win easily against Al Hazm. Because as we know, Al Ittihad's current performance is not optimal, so I am a little doubtful if I have to say that Al Ittihad will win easily against Al Hazm. The reason is that in the previous meeting, Al Ittihad was only able to achieve a draw against Al Hazm. But even so, if you look at the ranking between Al Ittihad and Al Hazm and the current head to head, Al Ittihad does have a greater chance of winning than Al Hazm. But I'm a little doubtful about that

So in this match, I personally will only bet on the Al Hilal VS Al Ahli match and the match between Al Nasr VS Al Feiha. And for the match between Al Ittihad VS Al Hazm, I'm still a little confused about which team to bet on.

But for what reason would you consider this game "crucial"?

SPL is over at this point when it comes to the title. Al-Hilal's defense won it. Al-Nassr is scoring a lot of goals although Al-Hilal has even done a better job there, but the defense made all the difference.

It's kind of funny that Al-Hilal has one of the most expensive players (Neymar) who doesn't play and yet they win the title easily whereas Al-Nassr has by far the best goal scorer and they have no chance whatsoever to win the title. Did those investments really pay off?

And I think that next season even other ordinary clubs that are not under the auspices of PIF will also start to make more thorough preparations. Such as by bringing in the best coaches from Europe or even competing to get the best players from Europe as is done by the clubs under the PIF.

And all of this will definitely make the competition in the SPL even hotter. but yeah it would be very boring if Al-hilal remained undefeated. Al-hilal's dominance in winning the SPL title is no longer strange. but everyone except Al-Hilal fans definitely wants different results next season. Last season Al-ittihad managed to become champions and made the SPL a little different. but I hope that next season the other teams will also be more competitive. And actually this season, things are starting to get better than last season. And maybe next season will be even better.

Regarding Al Hilal's performance, there is no doubt that Al Hilal is still unbeatable to date, even facing strong rivals in the Saudi league such as Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, Al Hilal has been able to beat them in every meeting between the two in all competitions, not only in the Saudi Pro League. So facing Al Ahli is not too tough an opponent for Al Hilal even though in terms of squad Al Ahli also has good players but no one can beat Al Hilal's performance. What is clear is that all Al Hilal players this season have very high solidarity and they play optimally with full motivation to be able to win many trophies in the Saudi League, not only aiming for the Saudi Pro League trophy but also aiming for other trophies.

But before meeting Al Ahli, Al Hilal had to play a semi-final match against Al Ain, the club that eliminated Al Nassr in the quarter-finals, which means Al Hilal had to be careful when facing Al Ain. With his performance which was able to beat Al Nassr, I think he would become the club which makes it difficult for Al Hilal but with my belief, I prefer to make Al Hilal the favorite in all competitions to continue to win.

Neymar was never ever providing any support. The fact that if he is sitting on the bench and did nothing. He was only sitting and receive the reward from his team that won the competition. It was very weird to see how neymar did nothing and he got a medal from saudi cup.
This is why the management of al hilal is getting upset to him. I strongly agree if management to let him go away to join on his old club. I have heard that if neymar will leave from there at the end of season. This rumor has not yet confirmed but seeing how al hilal is not even interesting to defend him and he will leave soon.
Neymar is just burdening the club. The decision to recruit him from PSG was a very bad decision by PSG. The club could even pick non injury prone player rather than him. I was very disappointed when al hilal announced him as a new recruitment by the club.




Look at neymar's stats. How garbage his stats are.

He was only doing a few matches in al hilal but received full payments. I think that al hilal must have terminated him as soon as possible.

In my opinion, Neymar was not even providing psychological support, as he barely participated in training or played. So it's something they haven't even seen to have any impact on the field or the team in general.

Al Nassr is not in a good situation right now. And trust me, I cannot keep defending Cristiano Ronaldo anymore. There was no reason for him to do that in the 86th minute of the match against Al Hilal. I understand that it was in the heat of the moment and frustration was going on inside the player's head. but keeping cool in those situations makes players like him better than the others. But I guess his career is already over, at least at the top of the competition. And he is getting paid retirement money at this moment. Maybe he has started to care less.

Anyway, they do not have any chance to win the Saudi league title and they have also been kicked out of the Saudi Super Cup. The only thing they have left to chase is the King Cup of Champions. I hope they will be able to at least win that. Ronaldo has scored 36 goals for his team in all competitions this season. But doing these kinds of things definitely does not help his team.

I still don't know what made Al Hilal to get these perfect results because the other teams spent too much money and hired players like Mane and Ronaldo in Al Nassr but in the end, we saw Al Hilal win the Saudi League while I was not expecting this. They even lost Neymar during this season and normally absence of a superstar player like Neymar can have a negative effect and make the team fail but they still had a perfect performance. Just like how good Levekusen performing in the Bundesliga during this season, they have shown good performance.
Maybe Jorge Jesus was the key for Al Hilal or maybe that's because of the good teamwork they have in their team.

True talk because if you check years back only a few people used to watch the Saudi professional league, but with the recent increased presence of the these European players, Such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and just to mention a few, the number of fans and supporters has grown exponentially, I do believe with time, the League will become very competitive as well between these clubs you mentioned above, Next season I believe there's going to be a number of changes, in terms of players switching clubs and managers moving here and there, furthermore, more new European players will be brought into the league.

There is no instant process to realize ambitions, Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad are also both shaded by PIF, but the three clubs have been unable to put pressure on Al Hilal this season. The Saudi Pro League will indeed develop better as time goes by, and with the presence of a number of top European players, the League will be able to reach a competitive level in the future. But it all takes time, and everything requires adaptation, we hope that next season Al Hilal will no longer walk alone in winning the Saudi Pro League trophy, as well as in other domestic competitions.

Al Hilal current impressive performance comes from thorough preparation, they have succeeded in building even depth squad in each line, not prioritizing just one position. It is true that so far no team has been able to beat Al Hilal, which I think will also be successful in the Asian Champions League. Neymar long injury did not make Al Hilal lose balance, and it proves that they do not rely on just one star player.

It makes sense to keep the league competitive for the future, I understand that Ronaldo costs a lot and that is why Al-Nassr can't keep getting better and better players, they just can't afford to, but at the same time no matter what they do, they should probably just assume that it would make sense to get more and more players.

I believe that we are going to see boring Al Hilal victory over and over again if they keep this up and I do not think that we can't just keep watching the same thing. I believe that if they could spend some 100+ million again on all teams, that would be a little expensive for the league of course but they have the money for it plus it would benefit them until the whole world cup thing happens as well.

Al Ahli vs Al Hilal, this is one of the crucial game to watch when it concerns SPL matches. Al Hilal is unbeaten till this very moment, Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus who happens to be Al Hilal headcoach have succeeded in managing the team and ranking them first in status. Checking their prior history, Al Hilal have dominated the winning runs and Al Ahli have also proven to be formidable on home ground. They are capable of driving forces to draw tie when it comes to home games. So for gamblers to be on a more safer side, they should simply bet on both sides scoring.

There will be some ez matches to come.

Al hilal vs ahli
Al nassr vs fayha
Al ittihad vs hazem

Im still considering al ahli is nothing for al hilal. Al hilal will still defense its unbeatable record in the upcoming game against al ahli. Ahli has so many great players but it seems not enough to make the club able to beat al hilal.

The second game is about nassr vs feyha. I strongly believe al feyha is nothing compared to the al nassr and so, i expect ez win for al nassr in the upcoming games. It seems like that none talked about the chance to win the SPL owned by other clubs.

Al hilal obviously owns all of clubs in SPL this time.

In domestic competition, Al Hilal even performed better than Leverkusen. Al Hilal only got 2 draws and 0 lose in Saudi league, meanwhile Leverkusen already got 4 draws although they are also unbeaten. Al Hilal has done something unbelievable although Leverkusen played in a more competitive competition. No doubt Al Hilal may be the best team in Asia now, they even deserve to play in European competition level.

Al Hilal already won Saudi league, they only need to keep their unbeaten record. For Asian Champions League, they have a good chance to win it, specifically they are on fire in each competition they are following this season. I think Al Hilal is too superior among other teams in Asian Champions League.

Al Hilal invested in a smart way, they signed a player who are still in good ages for competing the title. The oldest player they signed is Bono (33 years old), other players are below 33 years old. It is different with other teams in SPL, they signed the players above 35 years old. I think this is one of the key for the success of Al Hilal this season.

What's happening in the Saudi league this season I think best describes the phrase that "quality football isn't bought with money" and that's because when the season started, Another Saudi club was easily picked by many to go on and win the league title because of the quality and world class players they were able to assemble. Al Hilal's consistency this season is as a result of good coaching by the manager as well dedicated players who truly want to wants to play for the club and that's why they will always give their best whenever they're on the pitch.
At the moment, I don't think there's anything that's going to stop Al Hilal from winning every domestic trophy that's up for contest because their quality of football is absolutely unmatchable by any of the top teams in the Saudi league
