Maybe you're all point is correct about fans are not coming, and they are fail to achieve their targets, but you have to understand few ground realities as well with soccer is never been top sport in Asia and now Saudi League is surely doing their best for the promoting of this game, but they also understand this will be taken time and their first target is having intention of the world about their vision and their target which is going as they are planning and their already have Soccer World Cup rights for the 2034 with this secondly now they are having huge fan base around the world through media which is also good success and having too many peoples in stadium this will be also improved even I believe this is not easy job but still they can improve presence of fans, but this will take time.

Here in this country we have mostly peoples those are doing hard jobs for the earning, and they have no sources for the giving time and money with domestic fans are also not interested even they are now taking time, but they will surely encourage this all but with time which is important, and they can afford this all with their available sources.

Al Hilal is a biggest club and most successful one in Saudi Arabia but last season, they didn't perform well. So I honestly surprised with their performances and domination in Saudi Professional League this season. That is out of my mind when the season began as I thought two biggest competitors are Al Ittihad and Al Nassr but Al Hilal can challenge these clubs for the title.

I saw Al Hilal have chance to compete for Saudi Professional League title but not with this domination they have been showing so far. It's too perfect domination from Al Hilal in Saudi Professional League. The sudden decreasing performances of Al Ittihad is another big surprise that I didn't think of.

It is obvious that they will have problems as long as they have a strong rival like Al Hilal. Al Hilal has never been defeated since the beginning of the season. Al Nassr, on the other hand, had problems in the match they played with them. They have an incredible streak of 22 wins in 24 matches. There is also a 12 point difference between them and Al Nassr. From now on, I think they will be the biggest candidate for the championship. Even though Al Nassr has Ronaldo, it is not easy to surpass Al Hilal.

It seems like that if the wa this is not going according to plan that has been expected by saudi. Saudi Arabia has spent a lot of money to increase demand for its professional league and yet it's proven ineffective way since the target is far less from what has already expected by the league last season. We can know that the differences between this time compared to the last season. Most clubs' average attendances have decreased significantly in comparison to the previous season which means if the plan was not so affective and this is also bringing the new opinion if saudi pro league suffers huge lose considering the fact that if money spent to buy the new players are not even worth with the total attendances that have already attracted to watch any game of SPL. It means that the efforts to bring many European players to the Saudi Professional League appear to have failed. This is particularly bad given that the Saudi Kingdom has spent a lot of money to recruit top European players. It's disappointing to see that average attendance may be declining even further for the upcoming season. The hype has dissipated, and everything is now irrelevant. I strongly believe that if saudi suffers huge lose from buying some players with non sense salary and money.

I just saw it on the internet, I think people think like that because they are too worried about the condition of Cristiano Ronaldo who has been playing football for a long time, even lay people don't know that Ronaldo is using a product that might be an endorsed product. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with people commenting thinking that Ronaldo has swollen feet because if I look at the comments, most of them praise Ronaldo because he is a professional player and doesn't care about the health of his feet, even though in reality he is still in good health and relaxes himself to improve his stamina after facing Al Ahli.

In fact, I'm happy to see the response of people who are worried about Ronaldo just because they saw this picture, because there are a lot of Ronaldo fans and things like this will definitely be in the spotlight, not only fans but also media crew who want to know the latest information about Ronaldo. In this case of course there are a lot of them people who love Ronaldo because Ronaldo has had a career for more than 20 years, so it's natural that his legs look swollen, but the most important thing is that with this information we also know that Ronaldo is fine.

Anyone see the image of the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo in the internet? I cant belive how people is so dumb to think he is having issue with his feet because he show them and they are swollen, but man, come on in the same phot you can see he is with a tourniquet in his legs with this new machines for recovery.

I would say Talisca is not exactly a striker. I have seen him play before as well, and seen him play here too, he is more of a attacking midfielder, a number 10, or at the best case we could say maybe a false 9 as well, but not pure poacher style striker as in what Ronaldo is doing right now. Things are not that easy to just label players but this is what I can come up with.

Obviously, people can disagree with me and call him a pure striker, but he does look to pass a lot more often compared to Ronaldo. When you put two players like that together, you end up with a good chemistry because one looks to pass, and the other looks to score, so they do go well together which helped Ronaldo to score a lot of goals without a doubt.

Ronaldo and Talisca have playing style that is good enough for team collaboration on the front line, plus the presence of Sadio Mane means that the quality of Al Nassr front line performance cannot really be underestimated by anyone because these three players are the main key to success Al Nassr to win the match.
Indeed, Al Nssr is one of the lucky team in recruiting European players because they can continue to make good contributions and can work together with other players.
But after all, Ronaldo is great player with lot of experience so he knows what he has to do to still be able to make the team he plays for have competitive performance.

If differentiate it from Ittihad who brought in Benzema then it is clear that it is very different, with Real Madrid he got lot of support from all the players to create lots of goals and show very competitive performance but with Ittihad Benzema didn't get all that support.
This is one of the main reasons why Benzema and Ronaldo differ quite significantly, even though Benzema was previously great player but his condition meant he was unable to make big contribution to the team he played for.
Maybe the one who really felt the loss was Ittihad because they had spent very large amount of money to bring in Benzema.

Talisca has good statistics this season, he has scored 16 goals and 4 assists from his 17 appearances with Al Nassr. Indeed, his cooperation with other players on the front lines is quite good, he can understand what his teammates want and thus there is no doubt that he has indeed contributed to Al Nassr this season. I think he will stay here, because in fact Al Nassr's front line doesn't have any problems, the only problem is the back line which means they can't compete closely in the SPL this season.

I think it would be a shame if they separated players who already have good chemistry on the front lines. In my opinion, Al Nassr would be better off focusing on improving their back line which still has a lot of problems. They can bring in new players who can cover their weaknesses this season. Because if they have a very good front line, but they have a weak defense, it will still make it difficult to compete in tight competition. So at the start of next season, they can improve their back line which has not been optimal this season.

Yes, Talisca has contributed greatly to the Al-Nassr club and without Talisca I don't think Al-Nassr's attack line will feel complete. Because Cristiano Ronaldo, Mane and Talisca have become players who understand each other on the front lines. And I hope that Al-Nassr will not let Talisca go. Because I think it will be very difficult to find a replacement for him who can directly understand Al-Nassr's game with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane. And not only that, Talisca's strength is that she is not a selfish player. He is not the typical player who wants to shine alone. So he is very compatible with Cristiano Ronaldo. I hope the rumors about Talisca are just rumors and don't come true.

Al-Nassr can be said to be quite lucky because their old striker, who at that time was Talisca's main striker, was able to coexist well with their new striker Ronaldo and after almost two seasons, both of them are still productive strikers, although not enough to bring their team to become one of the teams that won the title champion.
In contrast to Ittihad who replaced Hamdallah with Benzema because both of them seemed unable to perform optimally, Benzema could even be said to be quite disappointing while Hamdallah started to return to his starting position and after a long holiday because of the Asian Cup he scored quite a lot of goals for his club, including when they beat Al-Fateh because Hamdallah scored two goals, but unfortunately the victory would not allow them to retain their title.

To be fair, damac gave hard times to the al hilal more than al ittihad. Im only aware if damac consistently attacking al hilal in this game which was putting al hilal's goal keeper being threaten a few times. AL ittihad is not as strong as damac consider ittihad was always losing against al hilal.
The result from this match totally predictable and al hilal is securing his place to get even better. AL nassr is now has not chance in competing with al hilal again. Al hilal is unstoppable as for now considering its competitors have very big gaps to catch it.

The winner for SPL this season is clear if al hilal is gonna win the competition. There's no club who can play as good as al hilal at this moment.
Al  nassr has been losing everything since it was performing so badly. I see how al nassr was unable in getting a trophy this seaosn which is a very bad achievement for the club.

Talisca have been a very important member of the Al Nassr team and since the start of the season he's clearly the club's second best player after just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. Talisca have really helped the team this season by scoring important goals that helped them win important matches even when Cristiano Ronaldo is absent. Again Talisca is very good with set pieces and have really blended well with the club's most important player Cristiano Ronaldo so I don't expect the management of the club to allow him leave the club at the end of the season. Al Nassr have been impressive this season but unfortunately for them there's a more impressive team in the Saudi Pro League which is Al Hilal but if they can keep their heads high and continue to improve with their performances, I think they have a chance of winning major trophies in few seasons from now.

I've examined SPL elite clubs, you will see how they've become desperate to sign prominent European players this season. Saudi influential men are capable of landing any big name to their league but it's high time they stop persuading European players with huge offers. Prominent big names are more better than average player this season, it doesn't matter if the big name in question is aged, he already covered his fame in Europe, traveling to Saudi Arabia to forward his football career won't changed anything.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the main reason SPL entered limelight last season. Signing one of the Greatest Player Of All Time ( the undisputed GOAT) seems more like a blessing for them. There games and league have become important to everyone and people currently followed up the trends of SPL this time. Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the best SPL clubs when it comes to performance and they're in possession of elite players that puts in immense work for the club to become successful. Saudi Arabia Pro League is challenging for the new players. These sets of new players thought it would be an easy league  because they're already acquainted with the European style of football but it's entirely new down here.

Yeah, I hope it is just a rumor because it will be a bad idea if Al Nassr wants to let him goes. Talisca becomes one of the most important attackers in Al Nassr, he always showed a significant contribution in the field. If Al Nassr loses on of its trio attackers (Ronaldo, Mane, Talisca), I'm sure Al Nassr will decrease its attacking power so much. As long as they still have these trio attackers, they don't need to rebuild their attacking. So, they can focus on rebuild their defense and midfield for the next season.

Although Al Nassr can get the replacement of Talisca, I'm not sure the new player can adapt well with Al Nassr game style. We can see some top European players who failed to adapt with SPL. Benzema is one of the players who failed in SPL. Although he has a big name in Europe, he can contribute much for Al Ittihad.

Well, the AL Hilal team surprises me a lot, they have incredible willpower, they don't give up, they continue until the end and always have the focus of winning, that is something I admire a lot, however when we see the other teams too They are good, like the case of Al Nassr, and it is very surprising that AL Nassr, which is such a complete team, has a CR7 who has everything to be champion, they have not been able to beat this team, it is incredible, so given I have seen some news, supposedly for the next UCL they say that they are going to accept only 1 team to participate, I don't know if it is true or that news is fake, but I know that they want to change the rules of the UCL, and with the impl The intention of a new team from the Saudi League so that they can participate in the UCL, this would be great because they had already made the request for Arab teams to also be part of the UCL, but we have seen that things in the Saudi teams have changed. It has increased a lot, perhaps that is why they consider making that exception.

In this case we are people who always know things as they should be, if there is good football then they deserve to play in the biggest competitions.

In that round all the big teams came out victorious, starting with the Al Nassr game that played against Al Ahli, in that game Ronaldo's team managed to win thanks to a penalty that Ronaldo scored in the 68th minute, this was a game against a strong team of the league that currently occupies position number 3, so in my opinion it was a good result that Al Nassr achieved. With this victory, Al Nassr remains in number 2 position and with a distance of 12 points to reach Al Hilal, in my opinion it is already clear that Al Nassr will not be able to reach Al Hilal. This means that Ronaldo is in his second season at Al Nassr without being able to win the league. Next season will probably be the last for him to do this. I say this because at his age, next season he will start to get slower and won't help the team much on the field, but he will continue to bring profits to the club. If he has the objective of winning this league, then he should suggest to the club management that they hire a competent coach

al Hilal won the game against Dhamk. but once again there was a red card for Al Hilal's opponent, I find it very strange that many of Al Hilal's games have red cards and penalties, and what's even stranger is that these are games that always end in Al Hilal's victory . and see that they are legitimate penalties, they are not penalties in which the referee is wrong. On the contrary, the referees are right to award penalties and give red cards. So I've already wondered if it would be possible for Al Hilal's opponents to commit these fouls on purpose, but honestly I have a lot of doubts about this possibility. Maybe it's just luck that al hilal has had. fact is that al hilal will be champion

yesterday also played Al - Ittihad against Al Fate. it was a game that had 6 goals, with Al Fate managing to score 2 goals while Al - Ittihad scored 4 goals and managed to win the game even though they had 10 players because one of their players received a red card, benzema did not play because he was injured. but with so many rumors about him wanting to leave this Al - Ittihad team and this league, I see that these injuries are good for him not playing but this Al - Ittihad team did well in that game and they can do well without benzema

So far Al Hilal have proven their capacity as one of the strongest teams in the Saudi league, even when they are now confirmed to win the Arab League this season but still they are targeting victory in each of their remaining games, a remarkable comeback they showed in that match when we considered a draw to be the final result of the game.

Damac actually played quite well in the first half and even they were able to continue to break the attack built by Al Hillal throughout the first half, even entering the second half, Al Hillal attackers actually looked very frustrated when each of their attacks had to fail due to the solid defense of the damac players, but it was not Al Hillal club if they just gave up and even when the game had entered extra time they were getting more intense Damac attack who finally made a comeback through Michael goal in the 90+3 minute and made the score 2-1 for Al Hillal's victory, the victory made Al Hilal unbeaten this season and the victory over Damac was their 18th consecutive victory, now Al Hilal has left Al Nassr with 12 points until week 24.

With the financial strength they have, the Saudi Pro League can achieve its target of building a more competitive League. I also believe that the development of their League will continue to develop every season, the movements of Saudi clubs in the transfer market will always be awaited by the top European teams. How could it not be, they offer fantastic prices for the players they are targeting, especially if the player has the status of a top European star like Salah. By increasing the foreign player quota, it will allow them to recruit more foreign players in the future.

This season the Saudi League looks less competitive because Al Hilal is still unbeaten, I predict Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad will make large scale transfers next season to be able to compete with Al Hilal. The impact of the development of the Saudi League is very large, the Asian Champions League has also become more attractive because of the presence of Saudi clubs and their star players. Apart from that, Saudi seriousness in developing their football can be seen from FIFA decision, where Saudi was appointed as host for the upcoming 2034 edition of the World Cup.

Yeah, here we have to praise Saudi League management as they have done good work before jumping into this business and also having good influence in few soccer leagues as well which are helping them for achieving their targets even this all is long term planning and their start is surely as they wanted but few things still are going to be problem for them first quality of the game and second conditions which are not as we have in Europe and also needed for the best game but as they are investing most chances they will be able to achieve their targets which are having change of tradition here in this region.

Now coming transfer window is also going to have good changes with few top players are already fixed to join, and we will have improvement in quality and also teams will be able to compete with top level teams which will surely increase their presence and also their fan base which is the most important thing for them in these early years.
