Al-Taawoun and Al-Ittihad both actually experienced the same increase. Especially Al-Taawoun who seems to be getting stronger this season. But Al-ittihad, which also has many European star players, will definitely be stronger than last season.

Last season or at the end of last season we know that Al-Taawoun managed to beat Al-ittihad at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium which is Al-Taawoun's home. And it's possible that the same thing will happen again because this time the match will be held at Al-Taawoun's home ground, namely the same stadium where Al-Ittihad was defeated by Al-Taawoun last season, namely at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.

But something is different now. Because in terms of player composition it should be clear that Al-ittihad will be superior. Despite the fact that Al-Taawoun also surprised us all because they only lost once this season. Meanwhile, Al-ittihad has experienced 2 defeats.

But I feel that this match will be an important moment that will bring changes back to the standings. And it could make Al-Taawoun lose points and be thrown down to the down of the rankings.
Maybe there will be a lot of goals in this match. Because both teams will definitely make the same offensive strategy. So the aggressiveness of the game must be very high.

Well they're fully aware that the only way they could help boost their country's football and make their domestic league popular and more competitive is by using their financial capabilities to attract players to their league and so far it's working cause in as much as those players come to the league with a mindset of getting better wages, their presence alone in  the league has made it more popular and it's been influential cause it's created awareness to people all over the world, especially players like Cr7, Neymar, Benzema, kante and Mane that are world class players.

 The Saudi league is gradually becoming very interesting, cause alot of people are now viewing their matches due to the kind of players present in the league, well i don't how long it might take but with time they'll be among the best in the world.

As you have said, with unlimited money, nothing is impossible in the world. It's just that I think in the future the standards for player prices will skyrocket if Saudi Arabia continues to give fantastic contracts to every player. I'm not sure whether this is good or not for football but of course this is a golden opportunity for star players who are close to retirement or even young stars like Mbappe to earn a lot of money. Yes, I admit that Saudi Arabia is very smart at seeing opportunities and on the other hand they have the money to make it happen.

The journey of the Saudi league has just started and the league has succeeded in setting a unique precedent in the world. Although Messi is not included in the league, the dominance of European players is increasing. Since they are spending the most, their league will be progressively stronger. Financially, Saudi Arabia is strong enough that if they decide to take over the ownership of Manchester United, money will not matter much to them. But I doubt whether they would be interested in such a proposal at this point.

Al Taawoun has been playing really well in this season so far. I will actually say that both they and Al Ittihad have been playing well in this season. I actually thought that the match was going to be pretty close, to be honest. I understand that one side is obviously going to be the favorite. But I think that people are really underestimating Al Ittihad in this match. I know that the odds are against them right now, but I believe they have the capability to actually win this match, the possibility of Al Ittihad winning this match is also not very low in my opinion. Especially when both of them have scored, and also conceded the same amount of goals Almost.

Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear in his actions and words that he will soon convert to Islam. His wife wears beautiful modest clothes and his children are also living in Islamic clothes. Ronaldo is very satisfied with Saudi Arabia. He likes living in Saudi Arabia very much. Saudi Arabia is also very happy to have Ronaldo. Of course, Ronaldo will also extend his contract in Saudi Arabia until 2026 and he will play for his country in the World Cup. Ronaldo looks like a young man as he gets older. One of my favorite players I always wish him long life. I also wish that he will start living Islamic life very soon.

But actually Péricles Chamusca is a very experienced coach in the Arab League. In fact, last season he coached Al-Shabab and succeeded in bringing Al-Shabab to finish in the top 4 in the standings. And last season Al-Taawoun was also one of the strongest clubs in the standings even though they didn't have many European star players. Last season, Al-Taawoun also managed to finish in 5th place. And now or this season, Péricles Chamusca has left Al-Shabab and moved to Al-Taawoun, so it is not surprising that Al-Taawoun's performance is getting better under the coaching of Péricles Chamusca.

But I discovered an interesting fact from Péricles Chamusca's coaching career. On Wikipedia I saw that Péricles Chamusca had moved between coaching many clubs, moving clubs 32 times. In fact, in one year he can move 3 times. I thought it was a little cute and unique. In fact, he also coached Al-Hilal and it seems that after less than a year he moved back there. I find it hard to believe this but I think he has experience in many clubs but somehow he can't stay long in coaching one club. He kept moving around.

Saudi Arabia is smart in taking advantage of existing opportunities and even though they failed to get Lionel Messi last summer, at least one of the GOATs and several other European star players are connected with the Saudi league. We know that with the influence of several names, these players can increase their exposure rapidly and what they have invested in will definitely work out according to what they want.

With unlimited money, they are able to buy big teams in Europe's top leagues and I think Saudi Arabia should do this gradually if they have the opportunity to own these clubs. The latest news is that Manchester United has rejected an offer from Qataris and this could be a golden opportunity for Saudi Arabia if they want to acquire Manchester United, but the owner is quite difficult to convince.

Yes, Ittihad did dominate possession of the ball in that match, but it turned out that Al-Ahli's defense was strong enough so that the 17 shots that Ittihad took did not produce results, so the hosts were forced to accept defeat in that match, this is what Ittihad fans are worried about if they are not consistent. in facing matches in the Saudi pro league so it is likely that Ittihad will find it difficult to win the title like last season.

Ittihad manager Nuno Espirito Santo must carry out a good strategy and Ittihad players must perform as optimally as possible because currently Ittihad still has enough time to make several improvements and appear confident when facing the match against Al-Taawon next week, so that Ittihad can get full points and shifting Al-Taawon to its current position so that Ittihad's chances of winning the title this season get closer.

That's how the professional league is definitely getting better and it also has a lot of potential. Of course, the young players are still not going to go for Saudi League instead of Europe. Because right now Europe holds the most amount of glory for any footballer.  That's why a young player is obviously going to choose any big club from Europe 100% of the time instead of the Saudi League.

However if the Saudi league can actually get themselves to somehow be involved with the Champions League competition, maybe it will be different.  I don't know what the process is. But that can help them a lot if they can actually do something about any club from the Saudi League to compete in the Champions League.

True, but everyone wants to see Ronaldo can bring Al Nassr to become champions this season. Even though in this sense the owner of Al Nassr has other goals, we as fans certainly hope that our idols will succeed in bringing Al Nassr to a trophy this season. But yes, business is always there, so the parties there take advantage of Ronaldo's big name to introduce their league to be known throughout the world.

However, it is still an interesting competition to take part in if the competition is filled with many famous players. So this season the Saudi Arabian league teams have many top European players in their team. So it is quite interesting for us to watch every Saudi Arabian league match this season.

For Ronaldo, of course, he has made this season a big target to win a trophy with Al Nassr. he has fought quite well by contributing through the goals he scored.

Checking the players of Al Taawoun, I think there is not a high chance for them to save their place until the end of this season because compared to the other teams like Al Nassr, Al Ahli, and Al Hilal, they do have not famous and top level player, also their coach, Péricles Chamusca is not a famous and experienced coach. They had performance performance to stay in this place of the table and got these results so far.

Al Nassr already has a pretty perfect squad this season. Mane and Ronaldo are very compact on the front line which means ronaldo has quite suitable partner on the front line. However, in the previous match, when Al nassr played against Al Abha, they were unable to maximize their chances of getting full points. Even though Al nassr was able to score a quick goal in that match where in the 3rd minute the goal was scored by Otavinho and in the 28th minute the goal was scored by Talisca. but unfortunately they were too engrossed in attacking so that when there was a counterattack they were unable to thwart it.

Their winning streak was stopped by the Abha team. even though in that match, If Al nassr could get 3 points, they would probably sit in second place in the standings. But even so, I'm sure ronaldo and Sadio mane will be able to bring Al nassr to the top of the standings in the coming weeks. They have big ambitions to become champions this season so other teams must be wary of the pressure exerted by Al nassr on the standings.

I think winning the title is not the only thing Al Nassr wasn't to get with Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, they want to use this palyer to hire more top players from famous European teams and that's why Saudi Arabia is trying to keep Cristiano Ronaldo in this country. After Cristiano Ronaldo joined this league there were many players who followed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr missed good opportunity in the previous season. This one is very hard with many top teams coming to Saudi Pro League and annoying them seriously. Al-Hilal didn't lose any game. Al-Taawoun are resisting well. Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli are playing good too.
I believe Cristiano Ronaldo might leave the club once he wants to retire or when there is no intention to renew the contract.

I think that he might consider this to give a good ending for his career unless in case of injury or thinking of another plan for his career like coaching.

Indeed. As long as Ronaldo doesn't win SPL title with Al Nassr, I think he will never to consider leaving Al Nassr. Besides his ambition, Ronaldo needs to prove that Al Nassr didn't choose the wrong player and Al Nassr worth to pay him with huge money. Ronaldo actually has a big responsibility to Al Nassr, they expect Ronaldo can motivate all Al Nassr player to win prestige titles like SPL title. Last season, he failed although they have a chance to win it. They couldn't win in some crucial matches, so they failed to secure the first place. We expect Ronaldo will make it real in this season, sadly Al Nassr performed badly in the early season. Now, they seem improving their performance, they are in the right way of title race although they are still in the 3rd place.

Well, Sporting Lisbon will be the right place for him to end his career as a professional footballer. I also believe that Ronaldo will consider to return to Sporting Lisbon when his contract expires with Al Nassr.

Well i believe they've improved and it's even the  new signings they got this summer that's made them more better, the arrival of Mane have been very beneficial to Ronaldo cause they've got to understand themselves and it’s producing good results for Al-Nassr, atleast they've won a trophy this season, even beat Al-Hilal to win it, i think Al-Nassr are on the right track they're still very strong title contenders this season.

 Al-Nassr coach might have not won any  major trophy but he's won the Arab club  championship cup this season and that's a boost for him and his team to do better and try to win the Saudi league it might not be very easy due to Al-Hilal and Al-Taawon's performance, well there's still hope for them cause they're currently at the third place and just 4 poins behind the league leaders the gap is not even very wide.

If Al-Taawoun managed to take over the standings, it means that 5 top teams were humiliated, how could the top teams of Saudi League who had several top European players were unable to compete with Al-Taawoun we can call it a miracle. Previously I did not know the Al-Taawoun team but now we all know and pay attention to them and what makes me most curious is that none of their players are on the top scorer list I can only see álvaro medrán on the top assist list, the question is how they do it?

In my opinion, even with many signings that the team that Ronaldo plays for has made, they are still not being a consistent team and this only gets worse because the other teams have also made big signings and when that happens there is a situation in which the teams have the same quality in terms of squad, and what will decide which team will win will be the team with the best coach, and in that part and where Ronaldo's team is weak, they don't have a great coach who has been victorious in Europe, for example, if we look at what al - nassr's coach has already achieved, we will see that he has not coached any major team in Europe

Therefore, it will be very difficult for him to win the Saudi league, the problem with the managers of these clubs is that they think that because the league is less competitive, they can hire any coach and just hire good players who will win many things, but they are wrong. In this analysis, a league becomes small because it has average and low quality players, but the moment many teams sign many high quality players, then the league becomes more competitive and requires the coaches of these teams in that league to be great coaches. also

That's why in my opinion if Ronaldo doesn't win the league this season then he will be frustrated and next season he will play to just fulfill the schedule and finish his contract to retire, I think Ronaldo should pursue a career as a coach, the same happens with messi, if messi were a coach he would do very well. They have leadership skills on the field, and if they took a coaching course they could also have good results

Well some of the players who will be in their end of the career and know that they will not be having chances with the national team so they may opt also to get that Saudi national passport and take part in World Cup as usually Saudi Arabia qualifies for such events and these players old in age would love to be playing in such competition despite playing for another country.

We have to wait and see how these events will unfold but I think we had Romario from Brazil playing football up to near 50 years old so these players that come to Saudi Arabia to end their career may as well accept such offer.
