Topic: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 - page 552. (Read 119091 times)

Many of the European players who have moved to the Saudi Professional league are doing well and having a good effect on the teams that have signed them. Riyad Mahrez, Kessie and Saint-Maximin performed very well in the game, just as Roberto Firmino has in some games already for the team this season. They are currently second in the league with Al Ittihad passing them with just goal difference. Ronaldo's Al Nassr is in 6th place with six points away from the top. It will be more competitive in the league this season for the teams.

Do Ronaldo fans only like it if Ronaldo is the top scorer, and don't like Ronaldo if Ronaldo is not the top scorer?
Lol, if that's the case then obviously, I'm not sure they're really Ronaldo fans. Because after all, for a fan of course they will fully support their idol no matter what. It's very funny, of course, if fans only stay for their idols only when they are successful, and leave when their idols fail. Thus, they are not actually fans and may only be spectators and connoisseurs of success.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a player that would always deliver when you need him to and so far he's been very impressive for the Al-Nassr club, even scored 2 brilliant penalty goals for the team in their last match, everyone is expecting his performance to reduce as he ages but instead he keeps taking us by suprise and I like his zeal of impressing the fans with good performance, Ronaldo is a very hardworking player and would always try to impress the fans despite his age.
 The addition of Mane to the Al-Nassr team has made them looked tougher and they're the top contenders for the league this season and I won't be suprised if they win it though they'll face a serious competition from their Arch rivals Al-Hilal and others too that's been serious in the transfer window to strengthen their squad depth and look stronger than the previous season.

Conditions mean many things including league style, favorite tactics in the league, tactics of a club and team mates as well as environmental conditions like temperature and moisture. It's challenging for players from Europe to adapt to temperature and moisture in Middle East and they actually need time.

Al Nassr in the last season and now is very different. They already have some players to improve their midfield and attacking areas so Sadio Mane actually has better conditions than Cristiano Ronaldo months ago. As a player from Africa, Mane has better ability to adapt to Middle East temperature and moisture than Cristiano and he is younger than Ronaldo which is another better factor he has.

No matter how experienced they are, players need some time to get adjusted to the conditions and team tactics. And this is exactly what happened to Ronaldo during last season. He didn't got enough time to build a bonding with other players and initially he struggled to get adjusted to the ground and weather conditions. However, Sadio Mané didn't faced any such issues ever since he started playing for Al Nassr. My guess is that he got adjusted quickly because weather conditions at his home (Senegal) is similar to what they have in Saudi Arabia.

Al Ittihad swept away 4 wins without even conceding a goal. they also managed to score 12 goals, they are the most productive at the moment.
it was certainly a great performance from last season's reigning champions.

while Al Nassr is currently showing good performance. that's because of the appearance of Mane and Ronaldo who are currently starting to get chemistry. Ronaldo seems comfortable with the few goals he has recently scored. Last season there were several fans who were dissatisfied with Ronaldo's appearance. but for this season if Ronaldo is the top scorer, I think the fans will like it.

I agree,it is difficult to find and predict who will win but judging from the players each team has,Al Nassr has the most devastating attack now with Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo are some of the best players in the world and as such they are the most favorite to win this title.However in Saudi Arabia a lot of other world class players have come and joined different clubs like Al Hilal has made some classy players come in the club,also Al Ittihad so most likely the league will be shared between these three teams,the team who will make less errors most probably will win the league.

Great to see Al Nassr winning games back to back again after losing their first two matches of the season. Judging by their recent performances and results, I think one can say the Saudi club is destined to go to the summit of the league table anytime soon.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are showing their true class once again. The duo has scored eight goals in their last two games which is definitely an impressive number. Though it's still very much early to predict which club that'll will win the Saudi Arabian League this season, but I think Al Nassr is in serious contention to win it

Ronaldo once again showed his contribution to the al nassr. Mane performs so well but ronaldo was always an extraordinary player. Seeing him executing the penalty perfectly makes me think that if ronaldo has not yet lost its soul.
I meant he can still play perfectly at his age now. I think al nassr will get winstreak starting from this match. Ronaldo is going back again to its best form again. Im feeling happy to see him made some goals against al shibab.
Even though he had been facing an incident, but ronaldo could keep chill. Shibab got a red card which was impact the club a lot. I saw that the fourth goal was happening after the red card.

Another club shall have anticipated the comeback of al nassr very soon.

Cristiano is the leader at Al-Nasr without any doubt and that is undeniable. We've seen it in the latest matches. Without him the team would struggle and lose many matchss. Yesterday was another example of how strong Ronaldo is and how he affects his teammates. I like how he gave a penalty to his teammate Abdulrahman even that he missed it. But this gesture built more confidence and trust in the team. People who call Ronaldo selfish should now change their mind. He could have scored the penalty himself and had 5 goals this season, but he chose teamwork instead. Despite also a goal that the referee cancel and all analysts say it’s a valid and obvious goal he kept playing better and trying to score more.
I agree that Al-Nasr didn't start well in the League with two losses, but I've always said they would be strong this season and compete for the leadership of standings. I'm really impressed with Ronaldo's game alongside Sadio Mané. beside he is leading the list of top goal scorers with 5 goals.

In the other hand Riyad Mahrez started to show us his true level with Al-Ahli and lead the team to win against Al-Ta'ee. I believe he will also be one of the best player this season as he didn’t find a space in Manchester City where he didn’t play that much because of Guardiola’s arrogant behavior with Mahrez without any reason.

For now, Al Ittihad leads the standings with 4 consecutive wins, of course Benzema and his friends have shown solid matches. Meanwhile, Al Nassr is trying to make up for his 2 defeats, if we look at his opponent, Al Hazm, we actually believe that he can win easily as long as Ronaldo, Mane, Brozovic and Talisca are in top condition. Because the combination of these 3 players is quite capable of troubling the opponent's defense. As the executors of Ronaldo and Mane, there is no doubt that the two of them really complement each other.

Ronaldo scoring two goals and an Assist to Mane is outstanding guy, this guy is not ready for retirement, he's still playing like 20 years baller, he would have scored hat trick yesterday,but gave one penalty to his team mate How hasn't score a goal for the season.

Alnassr will win the league, they are playing good football, despite their poor start. That have recover and back to winning way. The Ronaldo and Mane partnership will definitely give Alnassr a good season with trophy. Both has scored  7 goals in their three league games this season. A super results without conceding a goal, their defence issues has been settled with the Arrival of Laporte from Manchester city.

No one doubts the quality that Cristiano Ronaldo has, he is still very sharp at the age of 38. However, today's facts are that Al Nassr is still in sixth place in the standings, six points behind Al Ittihad in first place. They need to be consistent in their future matches, so that when Al Ittihad loses points, Ronaldo and his friends can overtake them on the standings.

The opportunity for the position of the standings to shift is still very large, because the SPL has only played four matches out of thirty-four. By the way, Al Ahli looks as strong as Al Ittihad so far, the big match between the two will only be presented in the ninth week.

Al Nasar is a team with potential that can go up and maybe win the league irrespective of how they start the season; they started with two defeats against Al Ettifaq and Al Taawoun who are all strong teams in the League, but they have won their last two matches with large number of goals which shows that they are bouncing back strongly and compete till the end.

Players like Cristiano Ronaldo have influence in a team and can lead the team to victory.

It was not easy for Al Ittihad to get Benzema and Benzema also provided 1 goal with 4 assists while joining Al Ittihad even though he had to suffer an injury while competing against Al Wehda.
I don't know why the Al Ittihad coach said that when Benzema himself was still able to provide a pretty good game for Al Ittihad.
They still have good team strength in terms of players and when this kind of thing happens it can affect the game maybe but not too much impact.
Moreover, currently Benzema has not really been able to return to playing due to his injury and this will not be a bad start because in the future evaluations will definitely be carried out by the coach and other team managers.

Al Nassr last match made us all sure that we could get the best place at the top of standings but we must not forget the important thing when Al Nassr had to compete more strongly with teams in the top 4 of the standings which became a stronghold in the standings which made it a little difficult for Al Nassr to keep getting more point. as we know apart from Al nassr we can see very good performances from Al Ittihad, Al Ahli and also Al Hilal who currently have a very strong performance and must go through these teams if Al Nassr wants to dominate the SPL. although it is little difficult if Al Nassr players are able to appear consistently, especially Ronaldo and Mane, who are the mainstay player, it will be a little easy to get through this competition. but what we are worried about is if there is a problem with this mainstay player because sometimes injury can come at any time and this problem is one of the biggest problems for a team that want to continue to perform consistently.
well, hope to see Al Nassr can take first place to get the title this season.

The coach has already opined that he thinks that Karim Benzema is a misfit at Al Ittihad. I am not sure how the management will react to this, given that they signed the contract with Benzema after a lot of effort. For now, the clash is being avoided since Benzema is still recovering from the injury. But such scandals so early in the season won't do any good for the team. And this is the team that won the trophy during last year's Saudi Professional League. If the team bonding is not good, then how they will perform well this season?  

Al Nassr had a huge 4-0 win over Al Shabab, which was truly remarkable. Cristiano Ronaldo's team attacked this Messi brilliantly which led to the victory in the match. However, Al Sabab's players tried hard enough to equalize but failed and lost the match. Al Nassr won this match and moved to the 6th position in the points table, but they should not stop here but win more matches. As Al Nassr lost their first two matches this season to go to the bottom of the points table, they must win every match to reach the top spot. As they still need a lot of points to climb to the top of the points table they are yet to reach a good position with 6 points. While Al Ittehad and Al ahil are in a good position with 12 points, they must play well for Al Nassr to reach that level, but they can reach that position.

However, Al-Nassr must continue to maintain the performance they showed in the last two matches. The quality of attack and quality of defense both look very balanced. All thanks to the midfield which also actively helps the two sides very well. And yes, Mane's presence at Al-Nassr really filled the empty gap that initially no one filled the attack line. All they need to do is maintain the consistency of the team's performance. And yeah if they can be consistent then I also feel that Al-Nassr will be hard to stop this season.

But what I really regret is that Al-Nassr wasted points in the first two games of the season. Al-Nassr lost the first match when CR7 was absent and did not compete and at that time Mane was fighting alone as the spearhead for Al-Nassr. Whereas in the second match Al-Nassr had to lose because I felt that in that match Al-Nassr had a weak defense. And even in the line of attack too many opportunities wasted. Well, in the second match this season between Mane and CR7, they haven't shown a good relationship. Both of them still don't understand each other's game. But Al-Nassr got up after winning the match against Shabab al-ahli in the AFC Champion league. after that Al-Nassr seemed to find his way home. Yes, they are back to where they should be.
