I didn't expect the Al Hilal and Al Nassr rivalry to have such a difference in points. It's not just Al Nassr who has to play consistently and win. it would require a reduction in consistency from Al Hilal which I don't think could happen. It's possible that Al Nassr will chase the points, but that might just narrow the gap. That's because Al Hilal's performance is quite stable and it will be very difficult for Al Nassr to thwart Al Hilal's winning plans.

honestly, I think these two players are very great and never compare each other because both of them have had good achievements in SPL and even though Mitrovic has a score below Ronaldo, the fact is that Mitrovic was able to give good achievements in terms of helping Al Hilal to be firmly at the top standings while Ronaldo, who is at Al Nassr, is still far below Al Hilal.
maybe scoring in large numbers is one of the players desires, but what a team needs most is the achievement of being at the top of the standings, providing a guarantee of being able to get a title in the SPL and if success can be achieved very easily, of course good players will think about scoring. in large quantities. so it's a waste of time if you focus too much on scoring scores but the team you play for can't achieve great achievements, you will only get a big name from that player, not from the title you get.

the difference of 7 points from Al Hilal is a condition that is a little difficult to achieve, but as long as Al Nassr is able to consistently add points in every match, it will certainly be easy to wait for Al Hilal to make a mistake at least once, losing and from this defeat Al Nassr can take advantage of the opportunity to get closer the point is with Al Hilal.

I don't know why many people prefer for talking with Cristiano Ronaldo only in Saudi Pro League due has Aleksandar Mitrović as Al Hilal striker scored 17 goals of 17 matches with his teams and left 3 goals behind Ronaldo scored 20 goals of 18 matches.
Left one match appearance and I think have possibility for Aleksandar Mitrović reach Ronaldo goals if has the same appearance with Ronaldo.
Come from Premier League teams Fulham and first season Aleksandar Mitrović success give most impressive performance with Al Hilal, not only dominance as top scorer but also he helped Al Hilal lead top position standings awhile behind 7 points left from Cristiano Ronaldo team Al Nassr and has bigger chance for winning domestic league this season.

The sad thing is, people do not really talk about Mitrovic, look at twitter or reddit or any other place, they are not talking about how AWESOME mitrovic is, nobody says that, he is a good player that is above that leagues level and that's normal. However, everyone is just praising Ronaldo for scoring this much, ignoring that he was given a team that was well above this leagues level, aside from maybe just one team, and playing against basically amateur level footballers.

Some of the goals he scored wouldn't even be scored at non-league levels to be fair, it's that easy. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Messi fan trying to hate on Ronaldo, Messi is playing in mls, even a worse league, he just taps the ball and it goes in, I am just saying do not overreact on Ronaldo, that's it.

I still don't believe the rumours that Kevin de Bruine will join a Saudi Arabian club.
Why because Kdb's performance in Europe is very good, even at Manchester City if he is not injured or in the recovery period, he will always be the main starting eleven player of Guardiola's first choice. It will take a lot of money to be able to recruit KDB either transfer money or his salary contract which must be of great value.

PIF needs to make very big offer like what it did for salah but i strongly disagree if he was leaving from the manchester city. De bruyne can still have at least a few years remaining before he can start to think about continuing his career in the SPL. This is gonna be the most difficult task to be done by him. I think that if it's become the worst thing if de bruyne to miss his peak career in the manchester city. I hope that he will stay much longer in city caused by city still needs him.

People were believing him to go to the saudi pro league, which is too good to be true. De bruyne is still having a chance to play again in the UCL and win it. Why does he need to go to the saudi pro league?
De bruyne needs to use all of his golden time carefully. If he makes the decision to leave Manchester City, he will no longer have the opportunity to rejoin the team again.

I think goals are clear now we have changed in leadership at the top and new generation is trying to open this all and using their money and influence for the development of this country with having too many different things which were never happen here, but now they are bringing with their target is Soccer World Cup which is coming in 2034 and also involved their youths in these activities which were never happen before MBS.
Money is not problem with now they have good influence in sports organizations as well which is helping them for having changes as they wanted, and their best move was of course bringing Cristiano Ronaldo in this league which give them huge success, and now they are trying their best for having their mark into soccer world which is going to be filled soon as they are doing good decisions on right time and using their money for the development of sports into their country.

Kevin got his highest by winning Champions League in the last season and I really think that he does not have chance to win Ballon d'Or at this age with competition from Mbappe and Haaland. His chance to win titles with Belgium national team is small and almost impossible.

With more injuries and chance to be qualified for Manchester City first squad in all matches becomes smaller and smaller, it's time for Kevin to make decision. PIF even take big risk by hiring the player and they might face with another costly failed transfer like Neymar. Both players have bad injury records and they are no longer at most energetic ages in player career. Kevin, in addition, just got a most serious injury in his career, that is a big risk in this transfer for PIF.

It will be more wisely if they use that fund to bring Mohamed Salah to Saudi Professional League.

I'm not sure about the goal of this country but they are still interested in hiring more superstar players and even after some teams like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad spent too much money for their players getting not good results in the Saudi League but there is the interested even from these two teams to invest more money.
I think Saudi Arabia is trying to increase the development speed of football in this country and that is why they don't really care even if some transfers like Neymar fail for them.
But so far the best transfer we saw in the SAud iLague was definitely Ronaldo moving to Al Nassr.

Before Neymar Jr and Mitrovic joined Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus already had a pretty solid squad. after Neymar joined, he did not immediately play because he was still injured. then, Al Hilal also brought in Bono and Mitrovic.but before that, Malcom played quite well as a center forward in Jorge Jesus' squad. since Mitrovic is a pure sticker specialist, Malcom's position has been shifted to playing on the wing or attacking midfielder. well, Nemyar has recovered, he is expected to further sharpen Al Hilal with his presence. in his first debut and third match, Neymar played impressively and made Al Hilal's game even sharper. even though in his 3 matches Neymar was unable to score a goal, he contributed two assists. and in the end, bad luck befell this Brazilian player because he suffered an injury while defending his national team. in the end, the club decided to drop him only for this season. with the scenario, Al Hilal wants to bring in one defender to strengthen their defense line. overall before Neymar made his debut and was injured, Al Hilal had made good progress in the hands of Jorge Jesus.

But now, Al Hilal has Motrovic who is ready to compete with Rolnaldo even in terms of scoring goals. 3 goals difference with Ronaldo, it is not impossible that Mitrovic will overtake him in the matches he will play with Al Hilal. so, Ronaldo has competitors in this regard. as for the course of this competition, although it could be said that Al Hilal is on fire and it seems that it will be difficult for the teams under it to compete closely, including Al Nassr. professionally, like it or not, Al Nassr will continue to work as best as possible until this season ends. and if Al Hilal slips in 3 of their matches, Al Nassr is able to win their matches. then this competition will have tight competition. after all, there are still a lot of matches left and we'll just follow developments.

We currently are at the half of this season just because of this any prediction is not going to be good even I believe Cristiano Ronaldo is doing good job but Metrovic is tough challenger for him, and he can't give up with things can good change in coming days as Al Hilal is performing in this season he is also having fair chance for the jumping at the top and win the title of the most goalscorer in this season with Al Hilal is also hot favourite for the title race as well.

Peoples love him and enjoying his performance and game in Saudi League just because of him we have the best exposure of the Saudi League in this season and surely things will be more improved in coming seasons but Cristiano Ronaldo and his contribution for this league is unanimous.

This is really interesting because I don't know whether Kevin De Bruyne is a guy who wants to spend time in Saudi Arabia at all. It won't be cheap for sure. I don't think he would go there for 40 million euros salary per year. He would probably be more around 80 million euros per year. I never was of the impression that he is a greedy guy who is all about the money. That is why I still think this is a rumor at best and I would be surprised if he soon goes to a club in the SPL. I doubt it for now.

Soon we are going to see another surprise in the Saudi League and this time it's about the superstar player of Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne.
Kevin De Bruyne even had an offer from Al Nassr in 2023 and they were interested in hearing this player but they couldn't do that. Now it seems PIF wants to try their chance for another time for hiring this player.
He was mostly away from the first squad in the last games after he got injured in the game against Burnley.

 

In this season, Saudi League enters in new era with their huge investments and things are turning into positive way for them even still long way to go for them to have good mark but their new start and strategy is impressive they have the good number of top quality players those are giving their best and trying to increase level of the performance and quality for this league which is the biggest challenge because conditions are not easy and just money can't bring changes it's also need few other things which make things perfect for all.

Currently, we have four top clubs which are under control of one fund, and they are at the top with too many foreign players, but organizers are claiming more chances and development will he is coming in future because they are having good vision for this in their country hopefully all will be ok, and they will be one of the best in Asian region.

Alexander Mitrovic and Neymar Jr were signed to lead the attacking line of Al Hilal this season but the latter's effect on the Saudi team this season has been limited as a result of the serious injury that he picked and according to reports, he's unlikely to feature for the club this season again but his absence has not really affected the performance of the Saudi league leaders who have continued to be impressive while leading Saudi Pro League standings. Mitrovic is delivering the goals for the club as his number of league goals for the club has hit double figure and is only bettered by that of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Talking about Al Nassr's quest to catch up with Al Hilal, i think it'll be extremely difficult for them to catch with Al Hilal before the end of the season but that doesn't mean that it's not possible. They'll have to continue winning their games while hoping that the league leaders drop points to catch up with them.

I believe that this break in league games will allow many teams to sit down and think more calmly about what they should do to improve their performance when the games resume, the points gap that exists between Al Hilal and the teams that are in third place for low is so great that it is safe to say that the team that is in third position, in fourth position, in fifth position, in sixth position, in seventh position, in eighth position and any position below has no chance of being able to overcome the Al Hilal at the top of the table, so it's safe to say that only Al Nassr has any chance of competing with Al Hilal for the title

but al nassr's chances are very low since the points distance between these two teams is 7 points difference, this is a lot when comparing the performance of these two teams, Al Hilal in 19 games did not have any defeat, in other words, it is the only team in the league that has not yet lost a game, this is something that in itself becomes frightening and shows how this team is very strong in defense and to make Al Hilal's defense even more admirable, they only conceded 9 goals in 19 games, that is, even in terms of goals conceded they are a team with fewer goals conceded and the difference with other teams is too big, for example Al Nassr conceded 23 goals in 19 games, they have been a team with a very weak defense

and the other teams are above the more than 19 goals conceded. As I said, the difference in goals conceded between Al Hilal and the other teams is very large, when compared to the goals scored, Al Hilal also has an advantage over all the teams in the league. In other words, it is difficult to imagine that Al Nassr will be able to become champion this season while Al Hilal has the same good performance. Al Hilal will play against Al Nassr in May, it will be the penultimate game, probably when these two teams play the winner of the league will already be decided

Neymar and Mitrovic were 2 massive recruitments that Al Hilal made to conquer the Spl but it’s quite unfortunate that Neymar isn’t delivering on this duty. Though we can’t take away the works Mitrovic has done and the contribution if his other team mates and European stars. So I think this reason Al Hilal took off Neymar from the squad list so as to get a better replacement from Europe so as to keep maintaining top spot.

 Karim is still not finding his feet yet especially as his club isn’t doing pretty well and had some crises but I believe he needs one sweet midfielder to pair uo with Ngolo that will be able to help him upfront. With Neymar absence yet Al Nassr haven’t been able to come close to get Al Hilal, but they’ve got to hope on Al Nassr not maintaining winning form and slipping up in. At least 2 matches so as to be able, while waiting I think they also need to make sure they are winning too so the wait won’t be in vain.

It wasn't that easy, as Aleksandar Mitrovic also kept up with Ronaldo's goals. He is currently right behind Ronaldo with 17 goals and one more thing he is at a club where his chances of scoring more goals are greater too. But when it comes to Ronaldo's ability to score goals at his age, I applaud him. Because it is not easy for an old player to do well.
It's interesting to see that he's getting older but there's no significant decline apart from his speed dropping. Al Nassr is very lucky to have him, even at his old age he can still make a big contribution to the club. And not just to the club but to the SPL itself, because it cannot be denied that the arrival of many top players to this league is one of them because Ronaldo paved the way for them to be more interested in playing in the SPL.

Maybe the Saudi Pro League currently looks unattractive, but Ronaldo has confidence that this league will definitely be registered in the Champions League at any time. What is certain is that Ronaldo is a professional star player and is committed to what he has received because he has been given facilities and a good salary. very big and Ronaldo returned the favor with a strong performance providing scores in large numbers and if Ronaldo is able to score in large numbers surely Al Nassr as the owner of the club will have an increase in the name of his club and I am sure of Ronaldo's hard work at this time because he is sure that if the league It will soon be listed in the Champions League.
Even though currently Al Nassr as the owner of this star player has not been able to reach first place in the points table, at least they have tried to give their best and for me, even though they will only be runners up, it doesn't matter and that's fine.
