As the most followed individual on social media, Cristiano Ronaldo's influence on the Saudi Arabian League isn't just all about his on the pitch heroics but also as  a result of the popularity of the Portuguese superstar. It was since his arrival at the Saudi Pro League that millions of people across the globe began to to watch and follow the proceedings from the Saudi League and that influence isn't stopping anytime soon because how how much he's loved by football lovers across the universe. I think the whole league will even attract more attention of Ronaldo can can help his Al Nassr team to win a major trophy this season especially the AFC Champions League and the league title

It is not only you, most people are interested to watch SPL (Saudi Pro League) because of Ronaldo. However, there are already many other top players in SPL, too. Some people may watch the SPL because of other players as well (such as Benzema, Mane, Neymar, etc). However, we must admit that Ronaldo makes everyone in the world knows SPL, it is quite popular now. I'm sure there are few people only who know SPL and Saudi clubs before Ronaldo moves to SPL.

Al Nassr gets a big advantage by signing Ronaldo. This club becomes more competitive although they still couldn't win SPL trophy with Ronaldo. However, there is a significant increase in the popularity of Al Nassr, and there is a big improvement in the merchandise sales, too. Those are just 2 examples of the advantages besides the increase of squad quality.

As the whole, I can agree that having Ronaldo, SPL becomes more competitive. Moreover, other big teams in SPL follow what Al Nassr did. They also signed many top European players.

And that's why I said in the previous post, this match will be an interesting fight. Two rivals who will compete against each other will go all out to get full points. Al Nassr is determined to reduce the points gap from Al Hilal, while Al Hilal has the ambition to widen the points gap from the teams below. Moreover, this match was played at Al Hilal headquarters. I'm pretty sure the cheers from the Al Hilal fans will try to put pressure on the Al Nassr squad in the match on December 2nd.

Before this match, Al Nassr will face a mediocre team which they should be able to handle easily to get full points. not much different from Al Hilal, they will also play a match that should be easy for them to handle ahead of the meeting against Al Nassr. In addition, these two teams have a match after this matchup in the AFC Champions League. however, their positions are both in first place. Ideally, these two teams should not have any difficult matches apart from this matchup. Additionally, I haven't checked the available odds. however, it is likely that the odds will not have a significant difference. at Al Nassr there is Ronaldo with a reputation, while at Al Hilal there is Mitrovic who made a very good debut with Al Hilal. Well, because this fight still has time. We can look at other teams' matches, which may be no less exciting.

By now what's the point for Neymar to learn ethical practices... I don't think ethics is the right word although I know what you mean, but I guess you are talking about his unprofessional behavior sometimes. Too many parties, too bad nutrition, too bad attitude on the pitch, a lot of diving when there was no foul etc.

But now I think that possibility and hope is really gone. He is in his 30s now and it is not so much about his attitude, but his injuries and that is something he can hardly change. Al-Hilal knew all the details about him, they knew how many games he missed for various reasons and yet they bought him. That was their own fault although I doubt they care.

People are talking about "ucl is for European clubs" but there are plenty of teams that are not in the European zone geographically and still go there. I am not going to name any names and create a political conflict, but you can definitely 100% go search and find that there are teams who are located at Asia that plays in UCL, all these teams that are not located at Europe could play at UCL for some reason and we think that Saudi Arabia can't? Why is that?

I am not saying that Al-Nassr deserves it, to be fair the yare getting it only for the views and not because the yare any good and next year if they do join, they are going to be humiliated for sure, it is not going to be good for them. If I ere them, I would just keep the Asian one, because European UCL would make it very difficult for them.

I think all this news is fake and these are just rumors about some Saudi teams. We even had some news about the Saudi Arabian League joining the UEFA with all the teams they have in this league but it was rejected and we knew it was not going to happen for these teams.
Now it's about Al Nassr, we know Ronaldo is a good player even at this age but inviting Al Nassr to the UEFA is not something they can do for this team.

Before Ronaldo moved to this league I knew several clubs here such as Al-Ahli I saw this club in the inter-club world cup so the winner of the Champions League will face the winner of the Asian Champions League but yeah I never watch the local league matches except when Ronaldo moved to the Saudi Pro League. Several sources say that currently the Saudi League is attracting the attention of many viewers throughout the world even in the top 10 most popular leagues yeah we know that is the impact of Ronaldo and several other top European players who have just joined.

We can also see this enthusiasm through Al-Nassr's social media, which has increased by millions of followers in just a few days after the official announcement and that is an indisputable fact regarding the Ronaldo effect. If we compare it to Messi who moved to MLS, it seems their enthusiasm is not that great even the service to watch this league is not available in my country, how about in your country? I mean through official services.

There is a lot of talk about preparation for each game, but I think given the quality that Al-Nassr has, it is more about having a good day and being in shape than getting the best strategic inputs from the coach. I believe in strategic instructions for sure as I think that is why some coaches are better than others, but I also think that this input from the coach works particularly well when there are two high quality teams on the pitch. The lower the total qualify of the game, the less impact the input from a coach has in many games. Someone like Ronaldo, for example, he understands what to look out for during a game to benefit from mistakes or weaker players in the defense of the opponent.

Both Al Hilal and Al Nassr must try to maintain their best playing form before undergoing a tough match in week 15 and both will face bottom teams in week 14 so it will be easy for both of them to get full points. Luis Casto is a little smarter than the previous coach because he gave Cristiano Ronaldo freedom to play so his productivity in scoring goals is clearly visible compared to last season. Ronaldo will be much more productive in scoring goals when he is in a free position because his roaming power will be wide enough to create assist and goal scoring opportunities.

Even though it is difficult to predict who will be the winner, I think Al Nassr's chances will be much greater because currently they have a fairly productive front line. The duet of Ronaldo, Mane, Talisca and Otavio is something that opposing players avoid because these four players have appeared so solid and compact this season. Roonaldo is also not too selfish when he has the opportunity to pass the ball so that in turn the three players can score goals against each other on one occasion.

Ronaldo is the main reason I'm watching SPL games and surf out details regarding the league. Because to Ronaldo, the Saudi Pro League has developed to become one of the most recognizable competitions in Asia football, and most European football fans now watch and stream Saudi Pro League games. Al Nassr are privileged to have him on their side; he's always one courageous guy capable of producing miraculous events in games, I mean comebacks. The move of Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabian football has transformed the league's quality in terms of severe competition, and there are good means of competitive race.

That match is definitely going to be interesting. Both can be said as the best teams in the league. and of course, we also have the team of Cristiano Ronaldo. The best player in the world. Right now, these two teams are fighting against each other, to stay at the top of the table in the first position. And the competition is increasing. The other teams are also pretty competitive now. Not only these two teams to be honest. It really feels good to see that only one player can actually make such a difference. The match is still probably 17 days away. a lot can happen until that time.

It is like Cristiano Ronaldo made something massive for Saudi Arabia and clubs in Saudi Professional League. His decision to leave Europe and join Saudi Professional League triggered a massive wave of star players from Europe to Saudi Arabia. It makes the league more exciting, has higher quality, gain more television rights contracts with telecommunication companies around Europe.

Now, one of their club, according to rumor, will have an invitation and chance to play in Champions League. It's hard to verify this rumor now but if it is true, it is a massive success and a milestone for Saudi Professional League. It will make their league more exciting but more important, having chance to play in Champions League will have their domestic players, Saudi Arabian players to improve their quality. It will help their national team a lot in next few years.

Yes, we will all be very happy to hear this new, but in fact for me it is still too early to see clubs from the Saudi Pro League having to take part in the Champions League competition, not because it is impossible, but as I said before, clubs in Saudi Pro League still needs a lot of times to really prepared it self to be able to compete in the Champions League even though Al Nassr has Ronaldo, but this clubs is still not ready to compete with European clubs and one of the European clubs in the Champions League has a lot of experience and The strength is quite strong so I would choose to think about just watch at least 2 or 3 season to prepare myself to strengthen the player's performance after received an offer from UEFA.

This will be a big interesting match because you will see two strong clubs in the Saudi Pro League fighting because these two clubs are at the top of the standings, but both have different goals. Al Nassr is trying to beat Al Hilal in order to reduce their point difference, while Al Hilal trying to maintain their consistency in the matches they face and maintain first position as well as increasing the point difference with Al Nassr so that it makes it difficult for Al Nassr to catch up with the increasing point difference.
This match will be difficult to predict because both clubs have the same strong performance and looking at the last 5 matches, both have managed to win the match, but it looks like Al Hilal will not give room for Al Nassr to break through their defense but we'll see Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely put on an extraordinary performance in their meeting this later.

After all the Champions League is for European clubs. So it feels a little impossible for clubs outside Europe to enter there. But that doesn't mean it's impossible, it's just a little strange to hear. But I also read this news in several news. But the news is about UEFA who will consider Al-Nassr as a club specially invited to the Champions League next season. But the truth of this news cannot be confirmed. But even so, this news has been spread in many local news media here. But if this becomes a reality then I personally will be very happy to welcome this idea. Because European football fans really miss CR7.

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal have fascinating, opposing strategies, which I've been observing. Ronaldo and Mane lead Al-Nassr's powerful offensive. Their attacking strength is unmistakable, making their contests thrilling. I've noticed their defense isnt as strong, which could be a weakness.

al-Hilal appears to have taken a more balanced approach. Mitrovic, a powerhouse, makes their play more balanced. I think Al-Hilal's offense-defense balance may give them a league edge. Like chess players, they think ahead, while Al-Nassr focuses on the knockout punch. Although I prefer Al-Hilal for reliability, I enjoy watching Al-Nassr's offense.

Well that's what distinguishes their meeting this time, now they are strengthened by players with European labels. The presence of players labeled European will make the competition even more interesting, because we cannot deny their presence also has a big influence on their game and also their mentality.
Al Hilal and Al Nassr are 2 giant clubs in this SPL, even they are referred to as the SPL version of El Classico. with that nickname in their meeting, surely we already have a picture of the competition between them how.

AI HiIaI has defeated many teams in this season to maintain a good position that made people to believed that they have what it takes to win this title, and their coach is a potential coach that always listen to his players some of the things that need to put in place to keep the team victorious in their remaining matches. AI Nassr is another strong team that has potential players  that will make AI HiIaI to find it difficult to score a single goal in the first half but there is no way they can stop AI HiIaI strikers not to have access to AI Nassr goalpost to achieve a goal, because they know how to use die minutes to achieve a goal that will give them victory, which they will definitely apply such strategy in this match. I don't think, this 15 weeks will make AI HiIaI to loose any points in this match, because their coach is fully ready to use the right players to challenge their opponent to achieve the victory at the end of the match.

It's probably fake news, I don't think such a thing will be possible, and if it will happen, they won't invite only 1 team.

My personal opinion is that Arab teams should not be in the Champions League. If something like this happens, Chinese teams, American teams should also come.

Its a big match that should not be missed and I think upcoming match will really be a match that determines which team will prove to be strong in that match, but I really hope that this match will end in a draw because we all certainly hope that way so that the competition will be at the top the standings. its still going on competitively and if Al Hilal wins of course we all know the competition will end and Al Hilal will be confirmed as SPL leaders until the end of this season and I have not decided yet where I should bet because these two big teams are likely to score and I have not seen it yet what are odds maybe D-1 I will try to place bet.
