Regarding with Ballon D'Or players dominance there are not have Cristiano Ronaldo in the list name, that mean Saudi Pro League not really competitive league? I am not Cristiano Ronaldo fans and talking about fact with Ballon D'Or candidate seems not have player from Saudi Arabia teams except Karim Benzema. But some players are in the candidate list for winning Ballon D'or due their performance last season with top European teams and they are name in candidate but now sure will winning Ballon D'or.

Have bad viewed from UEFA president with Saudi Pro League teams, they are not happy after Saudi Arabia club spent much money and signed some star player and make them afraid with Saudi League will more popular than European competition League.

To be honest, I think the Ballon d'Or thing can be a little off. Because Argentina won the World Cup, Messi might take it away, right? I've seen him win that prize, and it kind of takes center stage, even if it was just a penalty kick goal. Everyone can see what Mbappe and Haaland have done, you know? It's still Saudi Pro League? The thought of it being better than European leagues makes me laugh. Yeah, Ronaldo isn't on the Ballon D'Or list, and he's chilling in Saudi Arabia, but does that mean the Saudi Pro League isn't competitive? It's not clear. People at UEFA may be afraid of the money that will come in. Who knows?

Is the Ballon d'or an initiative of the European football or the initiative of FIFA? I do not expect anyone playing in Saudi to appear in the Ballon d'or neither anyone playing in Inter Miami. If Benzema or Messi has appeared in the list it is because of their contributions in the respective former clubs Madrid and PSG.
In addition to what Ronaldo has done for the Saudi Arabia Pro League, I think he has done enough and I am not requesting for him to do more. Only bringing Saud teams to the whole world is an enough task he has done.

What did you really expected him to say, playing at Saudi league is terrible? This dude is getting hundreds of millions of dollars playing there, if he ever said anything about it, not only he would be fired on the spot, but he would probably get in trouble.

I still can't understand how people forget so quickly that the owner of Newcastle united, and basically the owner of all these teams, just cut a journalist in pieces, that's who he is playing for. In any case, expecting a player to say terrible things about his team that pays him hundreds of millions of dollars a year is silly, only viable if he wants to leave, like how he did back in United, otherwise it doesn't make sense at all and silly to expect any other.

Al Ettifaq is definitely creating a squad that can compete very well with the bigger clubs in the Saudi pro league. They have become aware that the competition is improving and they will have to improve as well to be able to compete. They have already made a decent squad, and very big improvements in some areas. They are in the fifth position right now and so far they have been a little inconsistent. Probably bringing in all these players will be able to fix the problem for them of being inconsistent. They will have to perform consistently if they want to go up through the table.

Al Ettifaq is having reputation of staying into middle of the league table but in this season after few huge investments from other clubs they are also investing and bringing good number of players which can bring better performance and chance of better spot at the end of this season with Steven Gerrard is coach which is looking for the better spot in European clubs also having chance here to give his best and having better things in coming years.

In early matches, they have good performance which is surely going to help them in coming weeks as well, even they are having problems against big clubs, but we can expect good challenge from them.

Yeah Al-Ittihad is one of the strong candidates to secure the title this season but the chances are still the same as the other 4 clubs moreover this competition still has many matches ahead so that each club can still take over. For now, our focus is still on Al-Hilal because until now they have not been defeated moreover they have the most complete squad in the League including Neymar who will play in the near future, we don't know when Neymar will be able to play, but it is certain that against Al-Nassr Neymar will be in the line up.

This will be a big gain... in favor of Al-Nassr Grin

I'm kidding, of course, but this can really happen - everyone knows that Neymar is capricious and he can play badly if he's in a bad mood or quickly get a red card. If Al-Nassr players play hard against him right from the start of the game, then maybe they will quickly knock out this weak link (I don’t mean injury, but only the sports component).

I refrain myself from taking a bet on the match between taawoun and ahli. I prefer to take BTTS rather than picked a team that would be winning the game.
Al taawound could not be underrated at this moment. It's as strong as al hilal.

I like the BTTS bets as well and I guess this is a good game to go for that bet. Al-Ahli is anything but a safe bet as the moment. The loss against Al-Fateh was quite surprising although it doesn't mean too much so far.

I am now looking forward to the time after the break as I am curious whether Ronaldo & co can quickly catch up with the top teams of the table. No more failures allowed for now, but since they have been on fire recently I think they'll at least stay in reach.

Agree, who would have thought that Al Taawon would be able to have such good results. Because previously, only teams that made mega transfers were projected to dominate the Saudi Pro League, but in reality this was not the case at all. After all, Al Taawon also previously managed to beat Al Nassr with a good score of 0-2 and yeah, of course Al Taawon is not a very weak team. Although indeed, in the next match Al Taawon will play away against Al Ahli but yes, there is no definite guarantee for Al Ahli to be able to beat Al Taawon at this moment.

Since last season, Al-Taawon has shown very high consistency and I see that its defense line is very strong, even though it doesn't have big transfers from European players, Al-Taawon has managed to show that native Saudi Arabian players are also able to dominate on the field when competing and I admire this. since last season.
I hope Al-Taawon's performance will be consistent for several seasons to show that this club can be part of a big club in the saudi pro league and if someone says that Al-Taawon is a weak club I think they don't know how to play this player and don't know how the performance of Saudi Arabian players is no less than European players.

Al Taawon started this season very well they shouldn't be underestimated yeah, indeed last season they were actually consistent but not too consistent. Al Taawon recruited two Europa players this season, Andrei Girotto and Musa Barrow. Although they are not popular as Neymar Ronaldo Benzema or others, but at least the arrival of Europa players to the team maybe can increase their confidence. Next match against Al Ahli, my guess there is a possibility Taawon won't lose, because based on head to head statistics also Taawon are better rather than Al-Ahli.

If we refer to Jorge Jesus' previous interview session, he said that Neymar would make his debut with Al Hilal this month. the coach said Neymar could make his debut in mid-September, it is very likely that when Al Hilal hosts Al Riyadh in the match on the 16th, Neymar will make his debut. Of course, it will be something that Al Hilal fans have been waiting for, the presence of Neymar will add to the attack power of Al Hilal's front line. in his 5 matches in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal has not been defeated at all. now they are leading the standings even though they have the same points as Al Taawoun, while Al Ittihad is one point adrift, and Al Nassr is 4 points adrift of Al Hilal.

In the match later, Al Hilal will host Al Riyadh, a team that is ranked 15th. on paper, Al Hilal should be able to topple the opposing team. In this way, Al Hilal will continue to maintain its ranking at the top of the standings. while Al Ittihad, will also play a match against a mediocre team, they must bring 3 points home. while Al Nassr will be visiting Al Read headquarters, this fight should be easy for them too. I am sure that the three teams mentioned in this post will win their matches in this match.

Erling Haaland is the only preeminent rival for Messi for the nomination of Ballon d'Or. There is little doubt that the Ballon d'Or goes to its legitimate owner, Leo Messi, who has accomplished much in the previous year and this one. Winning the Qater World Cup alone elevates him beyond his opponents. I'm not concerned since he's a big name in football, and all potential players look up to him. Leo Messi is the centerpiece of considerable attention in Argentina, as well as in all of the European clubs for which he has played. He is without a doubt the GOAT in football, a true genius in his personal beliefs position.

I was also surprised to see Al-Taawon slowly moving up to 2nd place even though as we know they don't have star players but teamwork makes them unbeatable so far, I also didn't find any Al-Taawon players on the top scorer list and this makes me more confident they are not just relying on one player. But yeah as you said, Al-Taawon strength will be tested by Al-Ahli next week and the winner in this match will temporarily take over the standings, hmmm curious to see how the final score.

I think joining the Saudi League was the best decision of Ronaldo's career. Many say Ronaldo joined the Saudi league for money. Money is definitely needed for living. But I wouldn't say that Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia only for money. Ronaldo is now about 39 years old. And at this age, Ronaldo will not play well in the Premier League or in a competitive league like La Liga.

Also Ramos has not got a team this season. He was one of the best defenders in the world. But no one is interested in taking Ramos into the team this season. If Ronaldo did not go to the Saudi League, then maybe no team in the Premier League, Serie A or La League would be interested in taking Ronaldo to the team. Ronaldo was forced to retire. That's why I'd say it was a very good decision for Ronaldo to join the Saudi League.

I agree, at the age of 39 having any competitive league is never been easy even you was superstar few years back, but now things are completely change, and we have few good and quality players which are doing impressive in their early careers with his all his decision for the Saudi League really help to him and his fitness which is also vital for this game.

Now Saudi League is going good job and having too many top quality players which can do better here even they still have chance in European Leagues as well but due to higher salary they joined here and Saudi League having good influence of Ronaldo's joining but still main point many are doing good job near their career end and opening doors for many others in this league for the future as well.

Another European player who was successfully brought in by Al-Ettifaq is Demarai Gray from Everton. He plays as a left winger and he is still 27 years old. The deal has been reached for a fee of 10 million euros and this is Al-Ettifaq's 4th signing after securing Wijnaldum last week. Al-Ettifaq seems very intent on making his team able to compete more this season with other strong teams and they don't hesitate to continue to bring in new ammunition before the transfer market in Saudi closes. Demarai Gray will team up with Jordan Henderson, Moussa Dembele and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1699371435968331921

I can not say anything else after seeing that Arab teams will continue to bring in european players just to build performance so they can compete with other teams and not just Al Ettifaq but other teams will continue to chase European players to be redeemed from the transfer market. I admit that this madness becomes even more serious when a team from the SPL will have big ambitions to build a big football and not hesitate to spend a lot of money just for European players.

Al Ettifaq is definitely creating a squad that can compete very well with the bigger clubs in the Saudi pro league. They have become aware that the competition is improving and they will have to improve as well to be able to compete. They have already made a decent squad, and very big improvements in some areas. They are in the fifth position right now and so far they have been a little inconsistent. Probably bringing in all these players will be able to fix the problem for them of being inconsistent. They will have to perform consistently if they want to go up through the table.

Even though Al-Ittihad's squad wasn't as ambitious last season, they did pretty well in the Saudi Professional League and won the title. They are perhaps on their way to becoming the best in the league with the transfers they made to guarantee everything this year. For now, the points in the league are very close and it looks like Al-ittihad can take control of the leadership in the coming weeks. Other teams with strong forward and midfield lines have superstars as well, yes, but the team and Al-Itthiad as a whole are among the favorites this year. Let's see if we can see any surprise teams or something. It has been an interesting league this year.

Yeah Al-Ittihad is one of the strong candidates to secure the title this season but the chances are still the same as the other 4 clubs moreover this competition still has many matches ahead so that each club can still take over.

Al-Ittihad seems to be cooking and they are landing yet another European player into their squad. He is Luis Felipe, who was brought in from Real Betis for a total fee of 25 million euros. Agreements, documents, and medical tests have been completed. As defending champions last season Al-Ittihad certainly want the best for their squad and considering Felipe Luis is a centre-back they would want his services to strengthen the defence. Luis Felipe's journey also seems to be very short with only one season with Real Betis after being successfully brought in last season from Lazio.

Also Ramos has not got a team this season. He was one of the best defenders in the world. But no one is interested in taking Ramos into the team this season.

About Ramos, Fabrizio reported severally that Sergio Ramos had many offers from the Saudi League and also Turkish leagues; with even higher wages; but Ramos has decided to join his boyhood clubside sevilla on a massive paycut to help the clubside in their struggling times. Do you think it is a good decision ?

They say he chose passion over money, well that is his business. Don't ask us if he made a good decision or a bad one, that is his cross to bear. What happens next, he retires as the poorest footballer? I hope he has his retirement planned out for him. As much as I respect his decision, I don't see how he is going to help the club in anyway. Yes he is a great defender but the team would need to score goals, beat their opponents and to clench the trophy or even be at the top of the league. If you ask me, I would say he would have chosen passion and money. Nobody ever said they can't go together.

The latest news from what I've heard is that he's going to La Liga and will rejoin Sevilla. Thus he has found a new club and will not go to the Arab League following the players who have already moved there.
Sevilla will need his experience as a defender and that is indeed what they currently need, because they are also in a state of slump in La Liga that has never won. Maybe when Ramos joins it will help them, especially in defense. His experience is unquestionable, and his ability is still quite good.
