The player you mentioned didn't really influence the league as much as Ronaldo did, his arrival to Al-Nassr alone made the club more popular and they even benefitted financially from his shirt sales than they did with other player before him, Al-Nassr is now  very popular to many fanourtesy to Ronaldo's move and it has even influenced other experienced players to join the league making it more interesting.
  The Saudi pro league spent very high, second to the EPL in the transfer market this summer and we could see that double by next summer, because alot of more players including the younger ones are becoming interested to move over there, but i feel they should give their country side players chances to sign as well in as much as they're trying to build their league to a better standard with those top class players.

I was worried when Karim Benzema began to have some injury crisis after his transfer to the Saudi League. I was concerned because the club has spent so much on him and deserved to get the best from him. This season Ronaldo have began to score goals but nothing was coming from the French striker. But his winner goal today have proved that the world best player still has much to offer. Al Ittihad dominated the game and created much chances to score but failed to maximize some of them. The match might not have produced a many goals but Al Ittihad to still occupy the first position on the Saudi leguue table. Al-Okhdood Club will have to stay in the thirteenth position and they will be hoping to get a second win for the season. 

Before Ronaldo, good players were going to Saudi Arabia. Talisca was one of them, but Ronaldo's departure to Saudi Arabia caused a revolution in the football world. Saudi Arabian teams started to make stronger offers, thinking that if even Ronaldo is coming, every player will come. Thus, Benzema followed their lead. If it continues like this, I'm sure we will see more players.

Karim Benzema has returned from injury and was the guy who constructed the difference on the scoreboard with a stunning goal into his opponent's region. After a fantastic performance in King Abdulaziz Sport City, Al Ittihad won 1 nil. Nuno is doing an outstanding job of handling and enhancing the team's performance at Al Ittihad. There would have been no way I could have underestimated Al Ittihad and allowed them to lose these three points. They dominated every aspect of the game, but it was more difficult for them to score a goal.

It was really regretful to see Al-Ittihad's performance when they faced Al-Akhdoud who were much weaker but couldn't score more goals even though many bettors who bet on this match thought that at least Al-Ittihad would be able to score 2 goals or more and it turned out to be a real surprise. happen.
What was even more painful was when Benzema became the savior in this match giving 1 goal in the second half which made us all almost unsure whether we would be able to win this match but I also saw that Al-Ittihad's performance seemed a little inconsistent so it was very difficult to score more.

The truth is that I have a lot of faith in these teams in the Saudi Arabian League , because if we look at it, if it weren't for this league we wouldn't be giving away a CR7 who is at his full potential, to a Mane that they didn't value him Either, we wouldn't have a Neymar who was giving his all at Al Hilal , so we wouldn't be able to see so many stars who have also come to bet on this football, they were on teams from their local countries to the point to retire and live like some old people , like Rooney who looks like he's 80, so in this football these stars who are really good are given the value they have , Apart from the fact that they have a very good performance, because CR7 is very good in Portugal , Neymar already scored two goals in the World Cup qualifiers, so it means that these leagues do not lower the level of these players, a Messi who unfortunately went to an MLS league where he is Made to retire, but in fact that It is what he wants, in this order of ideas it can also be said that this league will be one of the greatest in the world, and be careful if it will not be better than the one in Europe.

Some say no, but I think Europe should be careful and even afraid that their league will not be as popular if it is there, what every footballer likes about Europe is that they can play in the UCL, because it is like a dream, Otherwise you have to ask Mbappé why he doesn't want to leave Europe for Saudi football, that's a good reason, apart from the fact that his frustrated dream is to go to Madrid, but due to his early age he couldn't leave nor did he want to leave when he had the chance Opportunity to do so, so very bad for him, but the time will come where not only the veterans nor the players who are stars that have been discarded in Europe will continue to join the Saudi League, but they will look for a way for the same young players to join. interest and want to go to this football, because there will be the whole mix of world football, so young people will be Interested, plus the payment is very good.

Thankfully i only betted on Al Ittihad to win the match it was a low odd but i got it. Wierd that they didnt score more goals but when i saw 5 in defence from other team i knew they were gonna park the bus and a good thing that Benzema scored for the win.

The UCL thing would be the most important part, that is what I am waiting for. Considering Cyprus, Armenia, and Israel are all out of Europe and yet plays in UCL, that means Saudi could too, do not know what really decides it, what makes them European that others are not, but I feel like Saudi could do this too. In that regard, considering this league is filled with star players, it doesn't matter if they play well or play terribly.

Because if you have Real Madrid vs Al-Nassr game, even if it's in group stages, you are going to get a lot of views, a lot more than some game like City vs redstar or whatever that team is called. This is why it should be considered, it's definitely a profitable idea to say the least.

The top player of the European nation was joined the Saudi Arabia league only for the money.Only few for the participation for the involving to many new league.Even the top players like Ronaldo,Mbappe also for the good money from the league and it can be used for their future settlement.Many players was at the retirement age,So this will help to get huge money in the short period of time.Ronaldo playing in the Manchester with the less money compared to the money in the Saudi Arabia League.After the top player had went Saudi Arabia league all the other followed the path of the senior player in their community.

I didn't watch the match, yes a lot of people lost their bets including me. Statistically, Ittihad should got scored a lot of goals in that match, they had better in ball possession and opportunities there, but Akhdoud seemed very motivated against a strong team like Ittihad and made it difficult for squad Ittihad to scored. But at least Ittihad succeeded in stealing three points, although to be honest on bettor side I was a little disappointed.

Al Ittihad should win this league.  Al Ittihad side is back on track, as usual, but Al Akhdoud gave it their all.
Karim Benzema has done it again, delivering a late winner to confirm their place at the top of the Saudi Pro League. This is Karim's third goal in the Saudi Pro League this season. He is likely to finish as the top goalscorer in the Saudi Arabian league.

Al Ittihad-Jeddah could only win by scoring 1 goal. They were expected to score more goals. Many people's betting slips were lost. Karim Benzema scored in the 72nd minute. Until that moment, Al Akhdoud resisted well but couldn't finish it. With this result, Al Ittihad-Jeddah regained the first place in the points table. They started the league by storm as one of the strongest candidates for the championship. This season is really competitive.

Well right, it's not what we think, maybe some of us think with the current situation, SPL is like Ligue 1 which is only dominated by Psg because the strength of the Psg team is far above its competitors, yes it happens because of their very strong financial factors. But the fact is that SPL does not work that way, Al Nassr alone as the pioneer of recruiting European players they lost in the first 2 matches, it proves that they have players with a luxurious squad, in fact they are not that terrible. And even before this movement, there were only a few clubs that looked so strong like Al Hilal for example.

Almost most football players who have entered an age that is not very productive or in other words their performance is not like at the peak of their career glory will choose the path you said. But you can see the example of Sergio Ramos who rejected a big offer from Saudi Arabia and chose the club Originally, even though the salary wasn't big. Only this year the issue of money has become a big topic because Saudi Arabia has indicated that money is everything and previously there were only a few players who were able to break the record for the most expensive transfer.

Ronaldo had difficulty finding a club at that time because he had problems with Manchester United management and in addition there was no club that wanted to bear the burden of Ronaldo's huge salary. So even though it was done for money, perhaps other issues should also be looked at because at that time Ronaldo had no choice but to decide to accept Al Nassr's offer. Unless he is willing to accept a small salary offer like Sergio Ramos and maybe there is a club that is willing to accommodate him.

It's not as bad as you think, man. You can check the current standings, what kind of team is in third position, whether the team in third position also a big team with many star players in the squad? In fact not at all, because anyway in third place right now is Al Taawon which is basically Al Taawon is a mediocre team when compared to the big teams you mean. But the truth is, Al Taawon has so far managed to come through without a loss and in fact, Al Taawon has also beaten Al Nassr in the previous few matches.

In addition, in this moment also there is an ongoing match between Al Akhdoud against Al Ittihad but in fact, Al Akhdoud is also able to provide good resistance in this match. Because anyway, the match has running until the 70th minute but the score is still 0-0, despite the fact that Al Ittihad played Benzema, Kante and several other star players. So with that said, the Saudi Pro League is not as bad as you might think, as there is still good competition in this league too.

Every footballer is playing because of money and that is why you see that they keep n moving from one club to another for a bigger offer. I don't think that I have seen a professional footballer that during his reign, he left his present club that pays higher, to a club that pays lesser, without saying that he had problems with his club.

Ronaldo went for the money because that was the only way, he can use to console himself and create awareness on the first page of the sport news paper. Ronaldo was the one that opened the eyes of other players to make them hunger for fat pay because if you get paid for just two years, you can retire with a good pay off.

I've read other people replies about Neymar saying it all started with CR7 and then they followed him.
With the arrival of Ronaldo to the SPL, fans of this player will automatically follow where he will go and indeed the goal of club in the Saudi pro league to get Ronaldo is to improve football in the SPL to get lots of fans after that the Saudi Arabian club becomes a little more famous and to be honest I It also same as everyone here who comes and watches every SPL club match because CR7 is here so they are curious and want to bet here and the addition of several star player such as Neymar Benzema Sadio mane who have come to the SPL makes us all feel at home watching their every appearance.

Did you ever see in any sport an interview from a player who said at a press conference that he joined the club because he will be paid a shit ton of money? No, they will say that they love the fans and the country and that this is a new challenge and everything is so great and money is just a side effect. Everyone who ever believes a single word of that must be totally lacking a sense of realism.

Ronaldo was so impressed by Saudi Arabia that in one of his press conferences he confused it with South Africa. Do you know how ridiculous that is? Some will say this was just an unintended confusion of words because he is not a native speaker or something, but that came straight from his head and I am sure he has barely studied anything about Saudi Arabia except for the final number in his contract stating the total salary.

It's true that Neymar has recovered from his injury, we can see him playing in two matches with the Brazilian national team. What's interesting is that Neymar immediately scored two goals when he recovered, this is very profitable for Al Hilal if Neymar makes his debut. Al Hilal opponent is actually quite easy, Al Riyadh is a newly promoted club and does not have top players from Europe like Al Hilal.

The capital in the previous match was also very good for Al Hilal when they managed to beat Al Ittihad, of course their confidence was very good. If Neymar makes his debut, it is certain that Al Hilal will have the opportunity to win points and secure the top of the standings.

This is what I don't like with the Saudi Professional League. There are 4 very strong teams and then 14 very weak teams. That means that the vast majority of the matches will be one-sided. Only the matches between the top-4 teams are going to be close. Obviously there are teams that are not sponsored by the Saudi Arabian    Public Investment Fund, such as Al-Ettifaq who can compete with the smaller teams, but that is not the case with the vast majority. I believe that this is the biggest negative of the Saudi Professional League as of now.
