One of the most dangerous is Al Hilal's attacking players when they attack very quickly and always hit the target.
The factors that make it very difficult for Al Nassr to beat Al Hilal are that even all the clubs in the Saudi pro league are unable to beat Al Hilal, which currently has very dangerous attacking players and a very strong defensive line.
Al Nassr has Ronaldo but the cooperation of the players is not like Al Hilal and the comparison is quite easy from Al Nassr's very poor defense.

Since the beginning, Al Hilal's music has seemed to have a good target for this season, even though without star players like Al Nassr and only relying on Mitrovic, it has been very frightening for Al Hilal attackers and sometimes we definitely don't think that Al Hilal would be this strong without star players and could become a club which very invincible and I admit that Al Nassr is not strong enough to compete with Al Hilal because in terms of club cooperation it still very far away but at least Al Nassr getting 2nd place quite safe and I think Al Nassr will take revenge to win the title the next season because this season it very impossible for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hilal.

Anything can happen in the world of football, including the transfer of players like Benzema. However, in my opinion, for now Benzema will definitely stay with Al Ittihad first. The reason is, his contract with Al Ittihad is still quite long, namely until 2026. So with his current condition, I think Benzema will definitely choose to stay at Al Ittihad. The reason is, even though all football fans or observers already know what Benzema's performance is actually like at Real Madrid, currently Benzema has not shown that performance. Maybe age is the main factor that most influences his performance condition. So basically, with the performance he is currently showing, it might be a little difficult to get a place at European clubs such as Laliga, EPL, Serie A or Bundesliga. Because as you said, competition in the European leagues is very tight. So, if for example Benzema returns to play in Europe and his performance is not good, it is very likely that Benzema will be isolated.

So, currently the important point that Benzema must improve is his performance at Al Ittihad. Because if, for example, his performance is extraordinary or very good at Al Ittihad, there is a big possibility that his potential to be able to play and compete in Europe will definitely be great again.
Apart from that, I think changing clubs quickly is not Benzema's habit. Because at Real Madrid he was able to last a very long time, namely 14 years. So if after this Benzema's condition and performance gradually improves, maybe he will try to play longer for Al Ittihad, maybe until he wins 1 or 2 trophies, or even until his contract ends. But if, for example, this summer, Benzema decides to change clubs, it means that AL Ittihad is only being used as a stepping stone.

If the conflict between Karim Benzema and his coach Gallardo does not resolve and there is no clarity or bright spot, it is very likely that Karim Benzema will soon move clubs from Al Ittihad to Al Nasr and follow his colleague Cristiano Ronaldo. If this news really happens then I think Al Nasr will become a very strong team in Saudi Arabia because many reliable players have joined the club.


It could also be because of his actions, he made a mistake during training. Karim Benzema was not shown playing on the pitch but only as a substitute and that's not all. Recently, Karim Banzema's performance while at Al Ittihad was very bad and this was a disaster for Al Ittihad because the team of course dared to recruit Banzema with a very large salary, but what was expected was the opposite or less satisfactory.
Yes, even though Banzema has not made a good contribution so far, Al Ittihad is a very superior and strong team so it was easy for them to win the title against Al Taee yesterday with a score of 3-0.

Al Hilal 2-0  Al Nassr

It's very difficult to manage a team like Al Nassr which, in my opinion, has players with no motivation to play well, they kept wasting chances to score a goal, they kept missing passes, Ronaldo couldn't dribble and lost the ball that looked like it was some amateur player or I had no interest in scoring a goal, when it was in Al Nassr's defense things only got worse, with Al Nassr's goalkeeper doing a lot of stupid things, in my opinion he was mainly responsible for this defeat, looking at this photo:



clearly realized that the position of Al Nassr's goalkeeper was inappropriate, my question is why the hell wasn't he in his proper position? It looks like the Al Nassr goalkeeper was deliberately trying to score a goal, because I can't believe that this was a mistake, he saw that the defenders were putting pressure on the Al Hilal players, so the Al Hilal player wouldn't be able to run more with the ball without losing the ball, so why the hell did he come out so far from the goal?

It will be better if the Al Nassr coach doesn't keep putting this goalkeeper because there will be defeats, of course it's not just their goalkeeper who was to blame for this defeat. but in my opinion he was the main one. then we have to look at the coach, I see that Al Nassr's biggest problem lies with the coaches who worked for Al Nassr who are not managing to deal well with the team and have not made good hires. Take this game for example, the coach knew very well that despite it being a friendly game he was playing against the best team in the league and he needed to put his best squad to win the game because that would boost the morale of the players, but he chose to put healthy mane on the bench and went to play with the same formation used by the opponent, what the hell did the Al Nassr coach intend?

Finally, Al-Hilal has taken revenge from Al-Nassr in the Arab Champions final by winning the Riyadh Cup trophy and of course Al-Hilal is still the main enemy for Al-Nassr this season. I think Al-Hilal has a much more dangerous attack than Al-Nassr and as a result Al-Hilal could not respond to two goals in this match. Ronaldo, who has just recovered from injury, will definitely have difficulties and it is normal for him to perform poorly.

It is really difficult to overcome Al-Hilal's consistent performance and I think there is no chance for Al-Nassr to win the Saudi league title this season if they are not able to beat Al-Nassr. The difference in mentality is clearly visible from several elite Saudi league teams and we don't think Al-Hilal will be able to be caught by any team this season. Maybe for Al-Ittihad they must first fix all the previous problems so that next season they can compete again.

It was a fantastic match. Both teams played well, but Al-Hilal has been consistent since the start of the season. So, it's not surprising that they defeated Al-Nassr 2-0 in the Riyadh Season Cup final. They seem to always come out on top, no matter the circumstances. It would be nice to see some changes in the outcome sometimes. yeah Ronaldo is just recovering from injury, so I have faith in him. He has the ability to make a comeback on his own, just like he did in the Arab World Cup Final.

In this opening match, Ittihad really showed its best performance so as not to experience defeat or a draw when playing at home because in the last few matches, Ittihad was not in good condition due to consecutive defeats, but in this match, Ittihad really performed. maximum. impressively so they were able to beat Al Taee and didn't give Al Taee a chance to break through Ittihad's defense and Ittihad really defended its defense well this time and was able to keep a clean sheet.

Karim Benzema was not included on the field because the coach was able to assess and had provided good tactics. Ittihad could definitely put a lot of pressure on Al Taee as the host because the club's condition was also not good because it had suffered consecutive defeats in the last few matches, so that was the case. will be Ittihad opportunity. Moreover, Ittihad was already ahead in the first half so Karim Benzema did not needed to be put on the field because everyone believe Ittihad could beat Al Taee.

They were better than Al Taee, especially after scoring two goals early on that set the tone for the game. I believe that their aggressive style of play and ability to keep the heat on helped them win. Its possible that Coach Gallardo sat Benzema for tactical reasons. Sometimes switching up the lineup and giving younger players a chance to show what they can do can get the team more excited and hungry.

My research shows that Benzema's position might be more complicated than tactical. Reports of discipline problems may explain why he was put on the bench. Even though its dangerous, if it turns out to be true, it shows that the club values discipline and teamwork more than star power. The fact that they won without Benzema shows how deep and determined the team is.

  Though that Al-Hilal is gaping Al-Nassr with way 7 points, There is still this possibility that Al-Nassr can close up the gap between them Al-Hilal before the end of the season and possibly lift the trophy. I would say that their poor performance was hugely affected by Cristiano Ronaldo's not being in his usual form due to injury, because of his incredible contribution to the team.

Al-Hilal in that match still proved that they are still the strongest this season. Although Al-Nassr was indeed able to create more attacks and pressure but unfortunately Al-Nassr's completion was not so good. C.Ronaldo who just recovered from injury also did not look as aggressive as usual. And actually by looking at this match alone has provided a clear picture for us that Al-hilal is likely to lift the trophy in the SPL this season. Al-Nassr although much better than other teams but still cannot be better than Al-Hilal. While Al-Ittihad, who won last season, seems to have fallen far behind and it seems impossible for them to catch up with Al-hilal who has not been defeated until now in the SPL.

Al Hilal is a team whose players always go above and beyond to ensure that their goals are achieved. Just by looking at them, you can tell that Al Hilal will win this match; Al Nassr did not even anticipate it would be this difficult because from the way they played in the first half, it was obvious that they would lose. Al Hilal took advantage of the opportunity they had in the first half to win the game because both of their goals came from that half, and after the 2-0 score, they continued to defend their goal, ensuring that Al Nassr would not score any goals during the match.

I believe that Al Nassr shouldn't even worry about themselves this season because Al Hilal is the team that has the potential to win the Saudi Pro League title. Their players are excellent, and they can perform well even without Neymar on the team. In my opinion, the team signed Neymar merely out of curiosity rather than with the intention of winning the league. Instead, I believe that they signed Neymar to let themselves know that they have one of the best players on the team.

At least Al Nassr was humiliating Inter Miami for scored 6 goals without a concede, so it's already over to say Messi is a GOAT or Messi is better than Ronaldo.

This will make Benzema has no position to play if he join Al Nassr, Ronaldo will always become a striker for Al Nassr, he won't be replaced except he's injured or tired. It's better for Benzema to join Lyon instead, he need to save his old team from relegation zone.

Benzema's relationship with the coach seems no longer healthy for the team, even if Benzeman stays and plays, his performance will certainly not be optimal. Now, with the dispute still ongoing, Benzema is receiving additional training from the coach. Gallardo asked Benzema to continue to train extra in the gym to find his physical condition before he can join the other players.

With tensions continuing to rise like this, a move might be a solution for Benzema and the team. However, so far it is not known for certain which team Benzema will go to. However, I also agree with the rumors circulating that Al Nassr is interested in Benzema because it would be very nice for me as a Real Madrid fan to see former Real Madrid players playing in the same team again.

A match like that is not just an ordinary one even though it's just a friendly match, yes because of the rivalry between both teams. These are the two strongest team in the league currently and when they meet eachother the match always tend to be very tough, I'm pretty aware Al-Hilal are the hosting team and have more opportunities in winning based on their home advantage but I didn't expect a win without any goal from Al-Nassr, they're a strong team and they showed their capacity when they faced Inter Miami so they should be capable of scoring a goal in that game.

 Well Al-Hilal has proved that they're really serious this season, this is the 2nd time they're defeating Al-Nassr after they lost a cup to them. Al-Nassr shouldn't take this defeat likely even though it's just a friendly game, it shows that their are still some loopholes in the team to be amended. Yes they might be resting some players or saying their strength for important fixtures ahead but then loosing 2-0 to their toughest rivals is still something to worry about.

It seems that Gallardo and Benzema relationship is getting worse day by day. In fact, if you look at Benzema with Real Madrid in the previous season, of course he never caused trouble at the club, but when he joined Al Ittihad his behavior was not as good as when he was with Real Madrid. I might think that the mismatch with the coach will make it difficult for him to make a big contribution to Al Ittihad this season. Yes, he has to change his attitude and apologize to the coach in order to improve their relationship, but if Benzema insists on not apologizing then we will see one of them leaving Al ittihad at the end of this competition.

I don't know what happened, of course there were a lot of problems with Benzema when he joined Al Ittihad. He must show a professional attitude as the best player playing in the Saudi Arabian league because his behavior so far has certainly tarnished his best reputation. But perhaps he has thought everything through carefully because Benzema class will certainly easily return to a European team if he no longer feels comfortable playing at Al Ittihad.

Even though it was just an ordinary match, the defeat suffered by Al Nassr had a real impact in that Al Hilal was still a stronger team than Al Nassr.
Regarding Al Hilal and Al Nassr statistics, the Al Nassr squad is superior to Al Ahli in several aspects. Starting from shot statistics, defense, duels, passes to ball possession.

The results of this match are a benchmark that Al Nassr's front line, led by Ronaldo, still has many shortcomings that need to be improved.
Al Nassr's player rating does not reach 7, on average they only get a number below 7.
Ronaldo, who got enough rest time because he didn't play when Al Nassr beat Inter Miami, also didn't get a good rating in this match.

Everyone have a different idea. Most European players have learnt a great deal from Karim Benzema circumstances in Saudi Arabia, there's a whole lot they have stood to understand, not everything becomes concrete for the team. What's the whole problem circulating Karim Benzema in his new SPL club? We're quite aware of the difficult challenges facing the Frenchman, he just have to explore more techniques to stay on the right path, no major winnings comes easy, there's immense level of sacrifice that will be triggered before witnessing these great results.

Al-Ittihad are back to winning ways and you could see that they play better than before. The whole team took this match very seriously and maintained utmost pressure in the Al Taee defense. Yes this pressure made the Al Taee players lose balance while on the pitch especially after they were 2-0 down. One noticeable absentee was Benzema and we thought that could be the coach tactics to probably bring this hunger from his young team

 Yes and that tactics has worked as we can see how demanding the Al-Ittihad players were and how they applied necessary amount of pressure to get the win and it was  deserved. This win will be a big boost for them while going forward I believe, they need it so bad to boost them in the standings.

Benzema leaving Al Ittihad is the best option he can ever have for the net season because he does not have good performance anymore in the Saudi League and Let's say Benzema is getting far from that legendary player we knew before. When he was playing in Real Madrid he was very much effective but now Benzema is even far from the first squad of Al Ittihad and maybe it's the time for them to return to Europa.

I didn't see Benzema on the lineup both in the starting lineup and the bench. I think Benzema is still injured, he is focusing on the recovery. Benzema often struggles with injury for this season, it is a big obstacle for him to play well.

The conflict should be finished soon if Al Ittihad wants to keep focusing on winning every match. Benzema is the captain, he must have a good relationship among the players, coach, and club staffs.

I'm surprised about this rumor. How can Benzema to try moving to another team?
I doubt if he will join Al Nassr because al Nassr has enough good attackers. They have Ronaldo, Mane, and Talisca, they are not urgent for a new striker.
