So far, in my opinion, Al Hilal is very prominent and superior compared to other Saudi Arabian clubs, because increasingly here the Al Hilal club players look very enthusiastic about becoming champions this season with the high enthusiasm of all their Al Hilal club players. train hard and be disciplined so that your hard work all this time is not in vain.
And in my opinion the Al Hilal players continue to maintain good and consistent performance in maintaining a strong team defense.
When they met against Al Ittihad FC yesterday, the game of the Al Hilal players should be well appreciated by all the spectators because in that match the players played very well with control of the ball on the field. The players communicate well with each other so there are very few mistakes made by the players. The Al Hilal players did what they actually performed with an excellent performance by repeatedly trying to score goals against Al Ittihad FC.

And finally, all Al Ittihad FC players must admit that their abilities are still below Al Hilal's current abilities and must learn and try to find the defensive weaknesses that have been shown by the Al Hilal team.
Even though Al Ittihad in this match also managed to break through Al Hilal's defense thanks to Kante in the 12th minute at the start of the match, they had to fight again to add points, but the Al Hilal squad was not successful. it's that easy to beat and ultimately comes down to the end of the game. Al Ittihad had to admit that they were unable to beat the Al Hilal squad.

Currently Al Hilal perfection in the Arab League is without any help from Neymar at all, since being brought in from PSG, Neymar has only played 3 times and after that he immediately suffered an injury which makes Al Hillal seem to be just throwing money away in vain at the moment,  I also think that Al Hilal should focus on looking for other foreign players who are capable of improving their performance next season because it is certain that next season a team like Al Nassr will certainly spend heavily considering their failure to win this season.

I think there will be many European stars who might choose to play in the Arab league next season, apart from being starting to competitive, the Arab league is also a league that is able to pay players quite fantastic salaries, it is even reported that Neymar is also paid up to 150 million Eur  per season even though when he was beyond Al Hilal expectations, Arab League clubs were actually given limited foreign player slots so that at least the club still had the potential to bring local talent to the surface which would have a positive impact on the Arab national team in the future, and with these limited slots of course this alone will make clubs really selective in bringing in players according to the club  needs.

These clubs did not have good results but they are competing with each other for top positions, except the first position of Al-Hilal. These results are helpful for Al-Hilal to move more closely to time for lifting the league trophy.

That big match in Saudi Professional League ends with expected result, a win for Al-Hilal but it is indeed a very bad news for Al-Nassr. First they had a draw in their match and with this win from Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr now have 9 points less than the biggest competitor.

Very small chance for Al-Nassr in this season as even they beat Al-Hilal in a direct match, gap will still be 6 points that are very big. Al-Hilal have very solid defensive system and they hardly lose point, not yet to hope that they will lose 2 more matches in several matches of the season.

This nightmare is always there even when the match has just started and everything will get worse when the top team is so disadvantaged by a situation like that. As the host, Al-Ahli was unable to provide decent results for its fans and the red card received by Roger Ibanez actually made Al-Ahli's defense even weaker. It was proven that after one of the Al-Ahli players was sent off from the field they immediately conceded to Al-Fateh and even though Al-Ahli had everything to win, especially with the depth of their current squad, this could not be achieved with certainty.

What happened was that Al-Ahli could only equalize the score at 1-1 and fortunately Saint Maximin saved Al-Ahli from defeat thanks to his goal. On the other hand, even though there were still more than 20 minutes including injury time, Al-Ahli were still unable to turn things around and they had to accept this bad result from the start of the match. This result does not change anything and Al-Ahli still sits comfortably in 3rd position in the standings.

3 Matches that I thought would be easy to predict actually ended with results that were not in line with what I expected. Al-taawoun was held to a draw by al-wahda, Al-Nassr was held to a draw by Al-Hazm and apparently Al-Ahli was also held to a draw by Al-Fateh. These three matches were truly surprises in this week's matches.

But talking about Al-Hilal, it turns out that this club is still strong because Al-Ittihad was unable to do much and had to admit defeat again. And what is very surprising is that Al-ittihad were not even given many opportunities to touch the ball more. Al-Hilal with 67 percent ball control makes this team truly on a different level from other teams in the SPL.

It's a little sad to see that out of these 3 matches, 2 matches should have won but a surprise happened.
Like Al-Ahli was the favorite in yesterday's match and actually Al-Fateh's performance was not that good compared to the previous few matches but an error occurred in the first half when an Al-Ahli player got a red card and in the first half Al-Ahli conceded in added time before the first half end.
I was frustrated that Al-Ahli would definitely have difficulty winning if from the 14th minute they only competed with 10 players, but there was a little hope when Saint-Maximin managed to score and the score became equal and after that when it was approaching the final minute, Al-Fateh's defender received a red card. and that's when I had hope that at least there was still time left to score the winning score but it turned out that Al-Ahli was unable to score and ended in a draw

Damac had the same match as Al-Ahli, the only difference was that Al-Ahli was able to hold a draw but Damac was not able to perform like he did before the break.
Very sorry to see that the goalkeeper Damac really relied on got a red card which made everything very bad and Al-Ettifaq felt he had a chance to beat Damac so I said Al-Ettifaq's win was just luck and if Zeghba didn't get my red card I'm sure Damac will easily win.

Al Khaleej played against Al Shabab which was very easy to predict and fortunately my prediction was correct, I got a return, although it was not comparable after the loss due to the defeat of Al-Ahli and Damac, but instead Al Khaleej managed to hold on to a draw without conceding and Al Shabab actually had a greater chance of scoring. score but seems to lack focus so he is unable to apply pressure.
I have to give praise to Mohammed Saleem who as Al Shabab's goalkeeper managed to save his goal several times.

It's only natural that Al Ittihad fell to Al Hilal, these two teams have had different performances throughout this season. I don't know for sure what Al Ittihad brought in with its players last summer. either because of the coach's wishes, or the club's wishes and regardless of the option to bring in Karim Benzema. but what is certain is that, in terms of system, strategy, performance between the players and at the same time the depth of the team, Al Hilal is one level above Al Ittihad. Likewise with teamwork when playing each match after match. It has been proven that so far Al Hilal has not experienced defeat in various competitions. if at Al Hilal Jorger Jesus did not play Mitrovic, while at Al Ittihad Benzema was also not played in the match between these two teams.

In fact, Al Ittihad needs potential newcomers, so they don't just hope for Benzema, especially if they are not supported by players who provide system support to him. Al Ittihad needs other players, not just relying on Benzema, Ngolo Kante and Fabinho. but clearly, they need more than that so that Al Ittihad is as competitive as its rival teams. especially the players who support Benzema on the front lines. As for Gellardo, he didn't do much with the players available. So, like it or not, the Argentine coach tries to experiment with various patterns and systems to find the ideal one. well, maybe next summer, Al Ittihad will be ready with the new arrivals they have been targeting and preparing. As for Al Nassr, they are now 9 points behind Al Hilal. and it seems that Al Hilal has a very high probability of winning the League title.

If Neymar is released then Al Hilal will be free from the huge burden of paying the star salary. I think Neymar is more suited to returning home to Brazil, maybe there Neymar will find his best playing form again. It is clear that PSG was lucky to let go of Neymar last summer, and now Al Hilal has failed to get Neymar services as expected.

The upcoming transfer window will be a search for European talent for SPL clubs, including Al Hilal itself. I think more top European players will continue to flock to the SPL, financial strength is a very tempting attraction. As for Neymar himself, he seems to no longer be included in AL Hilal future plans. But we'll see how his injury recovery goes, and what his fate will be in the future.

Al Hilal could have the opportunity to win the SPL trophy and the Asian Champions League this season, even though Neymar does not strengthen the team. I think Al Hilal is indeed the favorite team in the two elite Asian competitions, and it is very likely that they will eliminate SPL rivals Al Ittihad in the semifinals. In March Al Hilal will face Al Ittihad 3 times, in three different competitions. I think Al Ittihad will continue the negative trend when facing Al Hilal.

This will be a perfect decision for the club to take because this deal hasn't yielded any results due to Neymar's injuries and looking at the amount of money that Al Hilal spent in buying Neymar from Paris saint German, however not all deals used to be that profitable and this is the situation here with Neymar's contract and selling him when he's value hasn't dropped that much would be a perfect thing for the club to do to save themselves from incurring huge loss if they continued to keeping him in the club.

I think you are trying to equate Al Hillal with Leverkusen's current achievements in the Bundesliga, right?
Yes, I agree with what you said about Al Hillal current performance, the players play and solidarity on the field can be felt when they have to face a team which is actually filled with expensive players, even when Neymar, who may be the most expensive player at the club, has been absent all this time, and In fact this doesn't really affect Al Hilal performance and the proof is that whether Neymar is in the squad or not, Al Hilal is still able to beat every opponent to reach the top of the standings without being defeated like now.

BTW, it is reported that Al Hilal will terminate Neymar's contract when the season ends because it seems that Neymar purchase has not had a significant impact on Al Hilal so far, apart from that  getting a slot for a new foreign player forces management to immediately negotiate this with Neymar, so that it will be easier Al Hilal in recruiting new players in the transfer market later.
 I think Al Hilal is no different from Leverkusen, which is able to compete even though it doesn't have many star players and this is clearly quite different from Al Nassr, which seems to be starting to depend heavily on Ronaldo appearance.

It is a fact that Al Hilal is a team that does not have everything to be champions, in fact they have 62 points and have already taken 9 points from Al Nassr, I consider that it will be very difficult for them to reach first place, and I really don't know why CR7's team has done so badly, it is far below the first place, I think this team has to do things better, I do know that the players there are are very good, but they are behind the shadows of an Al Hilal, this is something that we see that things are happening for better or worse for a particular team, the world has its eyes on Al Nassr, in fact the world has its eyes on Al Nassr for the simple fact that they are sabotaging him a lot, in the studios they call him Messi, Messi and with that they make him bother, and he has made many gestures that for the Arabs are disrespectful and vulgar, in reality with the Portuguese things are well They are starting to get complicated, it is something very sad.

I have always thought that rivalry will always exist, but I think there should be respect, the fans cannot harass the players, nor be racist, these things should not and are not allowed, when they start with those chants because the Players are under a lot of pressure, we don't know what they said to him in the dressing room, we don't know what they're going through, what problems they have, all of this seems to be able to directly affect the players, possibly CR7 is very delicate with these things, at the same time it has happened with Messi who yells at him CR7, Cr7 And it is seen that the Argentinian does not have a good time with that, I can say that the people who are looking to be better with respect to their player's Manager in any team will always find those who always do them bother, so he believed that sometimes they should ignore this type of offenses, at least they call him like Another player, but there are Players who make them cry in droves and that is Something that every Stadium should be penalized.

Alhilal is getting closer to locking up the SPL trophy, and will most likely create an unbeaten record throughout the season. The difference in points that has formed makes it no longer possible for Al Nassr to catch up, it will take a miracle and great luck for Al Nassr to be able to win the SPL trophy. The draw versus Al Hazm has made it difficult for them to close the gap, and Al Hilal is now walking alone at the top of the standings with 62 points. Al Hilal is too tough for other SPL contestants, and victory over Al Ittihad is an important asset before the two face each other again in the Asian Champions League.

In my opinion, Al Ittihad will be eliminated in the semifinals of the Asian Champions League by Al Hilal, and you could say that Al Ittihad has performed very far from expectations this season. I predict that even though Al Ittihad carries the ambition of revenge, their chances of doing so are very slim. On the other hand, Al Nassr will likely shift its focus to the Asian Champions League in full, because that is a trophy that is still possible to achieve. The SPL representatives are now the favorite team, and it is possible that the Asian Champions League final will bring together Al Hilal versus AL Nasrr.

Al Hilal dominates every game they play this season. Al Hilal is #1 on the SPL table and there's no opposition stopping them this season. Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus is managing his club to meet the high angles, there's absolutely no chances to failed but success is the main goal. Al Hilal knows particularly how to handle their opponents and unlocking the sectors of shooting to higher points. Al Hilal is a prominent SPL club and in their moment, they keep striving harder for good results. It's not an easy job to maintain the top position till this very moment.

Al Hilal has everything it needs as a club and they have managed to utilize it very well so that currently they are the strongest club in the Saudi League and with a record of no defeats and only 2 draws. I don't think any club will be able to beat them this season, although it could happen.

Al Hilal's calmness in this match was very visible, when they were one goal behind they looked calm enough to be able to control the situation, because they must have realized that if they panicked it would have bad consequences for them. And it was proven that before the first half ended they were able to equalize precisely in the 39th minute.

Entering the second half they were well aware that their opponents could not be underestimated and in the second half they appeared even more prepared. The results were very satisfying with the 2 additional goals they were able to score and enabled them to lock in victory in this match. Al Ittihad, who tried their best to equalize, did not produce good results for them. and they have to accept this result and have to go home defeated.

With this result and a draw of Al-Nassr previously, Al-Hilal now has 9 points more than Al-Nassr and with their unstoppable form, Al-Nassr will have to accept another season with a runner-up position. They played well but not enough and their good attacking system can not cover their weak defense system. If they want to win Saudi Professional League next season, in a next transfer season, they must prioritize to strengthen their defense system, not attacking system that is already good.

Beating a current champion is a good announcement from Al-Hilal that they are ready to take over the crown from Al-Ittihad in a very well-deserved way. Al-Ittihad don't play good in this season but this defeat is like a confirmation for their quality in this season. This defeat of Al-Ittihad also destroys hope of Al-Nassr to win Saudi Professional League.

Al Hilal really has very strong strength and yes it is true that all this is because the Al Hilal coach is very smart in rotating the players even though Al Hilal has a scoring machine but the coach does not only rely on it but provides support to all the players to play an important role As long as you have the opportunity to score, you have to do it like Saud Abdulhamid, he is only a defender but when he has the opportunity he will also score.
Meanwhile, I saw that Al Hilal appeared without Mitrovic and was only replaced by Saleh Al-Shehri but still managed to get 3 points.

Yes, Ittihad managed to score early, but Al Hilal was smarter, always looking at his opponent's playing style and after knowing the gaps that he could break through, in the second half they would be rewarded with a winning score.

I understand your perspective. Its disappointing that Ronaldo is punished for reacting to provocation. I agree with you that fans should be held accountable for their behaviour if the player's reaction is penalised. We want fair play on both sides, but identifying and penalising individual fans among thousands is nearly impossible. This does't excuse their behaviour, but it shows how difficult it is to enforce such regulations. Instead of penalising athletes for their replies to provocations, I think we should promote fan respect.

However, I understand that athletes, especially Ronaldo, must remain professional under pressure. Just remember, they're human. Although legal, Ronaldo's punishment seems to overlook his reaction's reason.

Still unstoppable with Al Hilal unbeaten record in this season after defeating Al Ittihad and success keep unbeaten until 22 matches, its not about the unbeaten record but also Al Hilal keep one step closer to be the winner after Al Nassr failed get three points last match. Current standings, Al Hilal has 9 points remaining with Al Nassr and make it easily for winning domestic league in this season with 12 matches left, upcoming several matches later Al Hilal seems get easily opponent teams and not problem keep in the unbeaten record.
Al Nassr still difficult for winning the match during Cristiano Ronaldo have absent, due suspend after controversial celebration make him can't play one match for Al Nassr and get bad impact after his team failed get three points and has difficult opportunity for winning Saudi Pro League tittle for this season.

These fans drive him crazy and he falls into their trick. People get fun when they make him upset but I think it's very immature for such a famous and old player to act like a kid in his teens ages. He has the responsibility to control himself and not get easily provoked because he is a public figure and many kids and adults take him as a role model, his influence over society is very high, man only changed the place of the Cola bottle and it caused loss of billions of dollars for the company.
Sadly, fans won't get punished for bad behaviour because companies, including football clubs and media, earn money from them. In business, it's always customers first.

Ittihad was not able to perform even better compared with the first half. Team has been trying a lot to intensively attacking al hilal but it was not able to scoring. Al hilal is still performing quite well this time. It's still able in keeping the unbeatable record owner by the club. Al hilal was playing without its main striker but it's still able in winning against ettihad. The club was still performing very well and i think hilal is owning this season. Al hilal has no competitor who can compete for the title race. The club is still performing very well. I can imagine if mitrovic and neymar will also play together in the same club.

The match has proven that if al hilal was strongest team in the SPL. People can also think if it's not possible anymore to catch al hilal which is leading the competition. The dream for al nassr to get SPL trophy this season has already ended.
The result against hazm is a very embarassing result. So, al nassr was always rely upon ronaldo, right? The defensive line of al nassr is so garbage. They played like a low tier defenders. The goal keeper was also making it even worse.


Al hilal is not owning a lot of expensive players but thing that i do like that from al hilal is this club was able building very good chemistry. it can be seen from how al hilal was always able having very good communication between one to the each other.
it makes the gameplay is able connecting between ohne to the each other. This is not owning by other club.
