About Al Hilal performance at Saudi Pro League so far they can able to managed their performance that from 6 matches Al Hilal can scores 20 goals total and this records also makes them as the team with the most goals in this competition and Salem Al Dawsari currently as their top scorer with 6 goals and tomorrow match against Damac F.C i think Al Hilal had a potention to gets the winning result again even with big scores because Damac F.C performance was so poor even since May this year Damac F.C still unable to get a winning result at home so this is good chances to Al Hilal to collect 3 points and for bet options the bookmakers provide low odds for Al Hilal @1.16 and i am not surprised because Damac FC is a weak team in Saudi Pro League but instead of Al Hilal win which is had low odds i think other option just like over 2.5 goals also seems also good pick and this option had better odds @1.43

Because here we are still on the topic of Saudi league teams, so I'm talking about it here.

Al-Nassr achieved victory during last night's match in the AFC champions league against hosts Persepolis who are representatives of Iran. Ronaldo and his friends managed to win with a score of 0-2 and each goal was scored by Ghareeb and Qasem. Even though this time Ronaldo failed to score a goal in the AFC Champions League competition, I think he will do it in the next match. This was Al-Nassr's first win and also placed them at the top of group E with 3 points. This is a new competition for Ronaldo after previously finishing in the European Champions League and now he definitely wants to aim for a new target with Al-Nassr to win the AFC Champions League title later.

Even though they the professional players doesn't really perform well for a very long time atleast their impact should be felt in a team despite their age, that's what makes them very professional,  if you notice some players are naturally talented while others have to work hard and devoted their time and effort to become very successful on the pitch, and I think most players that are naturally talented don't find it very difficult to perform  wel up to their old age like Messi for instance, because the talent is inbuilt and he doesn't really needs too much effort to be at his best on the pitch.
 
 Whereas Ronaldo at his age still need to try his best to be very fit and look healthy on the pitch which I not something he could keep up to for a very long time and that's why you see him fail to perform well in some matches. However some players doesn't allow football affect their lifestyle and one thing i love about Neymar is that his lifestyle doesn't affect his performance he'll still visit the club go for parties and perform very brilliantly on the pitch.

+1

It's a very important aspect of a professional player to be able to perform for a long period of time on the highest level that they lifestyle at least matches their talent. That's when there is synergy between talent and lifestyle and when these players can really accelerate and make the best out of themselves. I think in that regard Ronaldo is the best example we will ever have. He never was as gifted as Messi, for example, but he lived an incredibly healthy life with 150% dedication to his job. I have never seen him just a little bit out of shape for a single day in the last 20 years or so. I think he had one major injury? I am not even sure.

Neymar is literally partying on a Thursday when he has a game on a Saturday. Goes to MC Donald's, even gets criticized by Mbappe to please eat healthy food. But honestly if we were Neymar and money would be raining over our heads all day long no matter whether you are injured or can play well or not, I don't know how I would behave. It's easy to say that we would be different.

getting 1 assist is already good enough even if you can not score a goal but getting an assist is proof that Neymar contribution has started to increase and yes it is very normal as I said before if this situation is quite understandable because after all it is Neymar first match and of course all the players will experience slightly less than optimal performance when they first arrive on a team.

upcoming match Al Hilal will play away against Damac F.C. and this is not a strong team for Al Hilal which is very easy to beat and if in this match Neymar will appear as a starter I am sure Neymar will perform optimally in that match.

In terms of quality, Neymar is a very good player, but it cannot be denied that the life of a football player is quite influential for them to be able to maintain their performance, like other top Brazilian players in the past who had their careers faded at a productive age due to an unhealthy life, it seems that now Neymar will follow suit.
IN his debut match with Al Hilal, Neymar didn't make much of a contribution.
Since he was at PSG, Neymar has been prone to injury and his performance has declined, I think it will be difficult for him to recover with the Al Hilal team.
I doubt Neymar can develop and make a big contribution to the team.

@borobichok while Neymar has suffered lots of injuries he’s yet an talented player and he yet needs time to adjust to the Saudi league and once he does I’m sure that he’ll come good and repay the amount invested in him. Lastly I hope that he doesn’t let his personal life distract him because it seems that he’s caught cheating once again and since he’s out injured let’s hope that he can sort his personal life and come back stronger.

Neymar Jr is vulnerable to injuries, and it has really impacted a negative changed on his football career. One of the reasons PSG released him was because he's not always available foe the big games, missing out and try returning, 5 - 6 games, he initially picks up an injury again and we know how critical and lengthy it could be. Making him to be out of the team for months, only watching them from the supporters. Perhaps this is his new team, Al Hilal do respects him a lot because he deserves every single good thing in the club, why? Because he's a top player in Europe and also the best player in Brazil national team.

I know player career span nowadays is longer than in the past because they have better health care, nutritious care and more professional with their habits. However, it's untrue to say Neymar is not an old player. He already passed his 30 years old and after 30 age, players will need more time for recovery, more sensitive with injuries. Neymar is actually jumping into a new chapter of his career, only one more chapter before ending one, he is old already.

Neymar does not have professionality like Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Lionel Messi and he likes parties. I don't expect Neymar to prolong his career like those aforementioned players and moving to Saudi Professional League will allow him more chances to enjoy parties that will make his career shorter.

Neymar is not an old palyer and I think he is not even close to ending his career in the Saudi League or other teams in Europe, but this player was injured for a long time and that's why he had to accept the offer from this League, in fact, if Neymar was not injured he could even continue playing in PSG or other similar teams.
I think time after time when he completely gets recorded he can have an even better performance in Al Hilal and because of the weak defenses in this league, he can easily use his dribbling skills successfully.

Mane has great speed, good dribbling, and accuracy in shooting. So, it is not very surprising if he can adapt well with Al Nassr players. Moreover, Ronaldo makes him to play optimally as the wingers. Duo Ronaldo-Mane looks quite effective for Al Nassr attacking, both of them can be on the list of top scorer SPL now. But it is quite unfortunate that they missed points in the first 2 matches. If they didn't make mistakes in the first 2 matches, they must be in the top position (1st place) of SPL now. Well, there are still many matches left, they still have a chance to be the champion if they can maintain the good performance until the end of the season.

It is because they missed 6 points in the early of the season. If they could make a better start, they must be in the first place now. However, it is true that the season is still far from the end. We are still at the beginning of the season. So, Al Nassr has a lot of time to compete for the title. 

Yes, based on the totality of actions, this is a direct red card + disqualification. To be honest, I am very surprised that this happened in the Asian Champions League - it would be one thing if it were inside the Saudi League, then it would be an internal problem for the Saudis (and it is clear that they are interested in Neymar playing as much as possible for the sake of promoting the League). Yes, it would be disrespectful towards other players, but I can “understand” it rationally. But this happened in an international competition and I believe that this diminishes the prestige of the tournament when there is such “special” judging to the stars.

Thank for sharing the scene and yes you nailed it here...

The push is quite on the edge, but it doesn't have to be a red card because you could argue argue that there are emotions involved and so on and the push wasn't really against the head or anything. But yes Neymar decided to go for a chain reaction there. Pushing the opponent down and then shooting the ball hoping to hit his face probably is a really dark orange yellow card. It depends on how the referee sees it, but I think if the referee argued for two different but consecutive actions, it is two yellow cards for me. That's ridiculous behavior. He either pushes him or he shoots the ball into his direction, both of which probably ends with a yellow, but doing both is like little kids arguing for the shovel in the sandbox. 

Lol, that was definitely a red card if I have ever seen one. Just the push itself could be yellow I agree to that, it happens all the time, whenever you are about to take a freekick, if the other player stays too close, there is some pushing around happening that's not really that much of a big deal, but then the kick the ball to the opposition thingy? That's a straight red card without a doubt.

Ref could defend himself by saying Neymar tried to pass and the player was just there so it hit him, like say it wasn't intentional, which would be yellow card, but we all know that it was intentional and should have been a red card without a doubt. He hasn't been good for many years now, and I do not expect much from him to be fair.

Neymar Jr can be entertaining some times, with his dribbling skills and spectacular body movements and footings on the ball. I don't blamed the player for his actions, because this is not the first time he has argue on pitch, he often does that in Barca, PSG and now in Al Hilal. He won't change because it has become his lifestyle towards his opponents, especially when he's contributing zero progress on his side. We know how aggressive Neymar Jr can turned out to be on the pitch, he's popular known for using abusive languages towards his opponents, he mostly been issued cards because he lacks self control during games.

I think Neymar didn't show any sign of professionalism in his behavior on the game, this should have been a straight red card and a few match ban given to him for showing such aggressive character on a fellow player who did nothing to him. May be they didn't disqualify him because of name or may be his actions will be looked on later on to know what actually happened between him and the player that made him so angry as seen on the video. If it is because of the draw that his team played with the weaker team I think is time for him to man up and accept the outcome of the results of some matches knowing that football is not a do or die affair. I hope he gets punished for his unruly behavior other wise fans will not mind to start chanting his name when next he plays for his team and that will be a very bad thing for him.

Again, I remind you that today one of the clubs from the Saudi Pro League Al-Nassr is playing an away match in the Asian Champions League against Persepolis one of the best clubs in the Iran League, but yeah we know Ronaldo and Mane can be relied on there of course Al-Nassr is favorite today so let's monitor this match in the first half. I plan to place a bet in the second half after getting the best odds currently the odds for Al-Nassr to win are 1.7 I believe in the second half the odds could be 1.9-2.00 hopefully Ronaldo doesn't disappoint us.

Lol how sad would the soccer world be if Neymar doesn't receive a red card because he is Neymar and otherwise he should have received it. I think that would be devastating for the sport. But I agree that in some situations it is like that because  referee also knows that his decisions won't be taken lightly and could severely backfire later on. But this is definitely not how a ref should referee the game. It is still disappointing for them that they were only able to tie the game and actually were about to lose it if it wasn't for that lucky punch in extra time.

It would be very natural if Neymar was still able to show his skills, even at the age of 31. He only played 26 minutes against Al Riyadh, but he was able to have 31 touches,1 blocked shot,1 off-target shot, 2 accurate shots,1 assist, able to dribble, 21 accurate passes, 3 chances, 2 big chances. that's why Neymar had good statistical value in his debut even though he didn't score a goal.

Unfortunately in AFC Champions Lague, Group D, Al Hilal had to be satisfied with a score of 1-1. Moreover, they fell behind first and fortunately were able to equalize. very natural, because the opposing team played with full defense. Nyermar again appeared impressive even though he was unable to score a single goal, but from his statistical value, he played very impressively. Gradually, Neymar will get used to the style and game of this competition and make his contribution to the Al Hilal squad.

Meanwhile, Mitrovic, in his four matches with Al Hilal, he has contributed 5 goals and one assist. Now, he has a two goal difference from Ronaldo. another one, a local player. Salem al-Darsari, he is quite a prolific player when it comes to scoring goals even though his position is on the wing. he has contributed 6 goals, one goal difference from Ronaldo. Well, both Al Hilal and Al Nassr have players who are capable of scoring goals. In fact, Mane has scored 6 goals. So, there will be competition between the players in terms of scoring goals. Also, competition in the race for the Saudi Pro League trophy this season.

Yes indeed, Ronaldo and Mane have been very productive so far at Al Nassr and also, Ronaldo and Mane are the top scorers so far in the Saudi Professional League with 7 goals and 6 goals. But even so, of course, they must focus on improving Al Nassr position in the standings, because Al Nassr should be able to compete better in the title race this season. Because yes, the competition this season is certainly becoming more difficult, as other competing teams also have a great squad. Therefore, although Ronaldo and Mane are still very productive at this moment, but they still cannot guarantee the Saudi Professional League title for Al Nassr. But maybe, because the league is also still long, so there is still plenty of time for them to really be able to bring Al Nassr to get the title this season.
