LOL.. Steven Gerrard got the bets start possible in Saudi Professional League. His team (Al-Ettifaq) managed to defeat Al Nassr by a margin of 2-1. Al Nassr was without many of the top players including Ronaldo, but still a win against them puts Gerrard in the limelight. During the press conference after the match, he seemed to be bitter with the European clubs. Leicester City and Leeds United had rejected his application to become the manager. Anyway, he did the right thing by signing up for Al-Ettifaq and moving to Saudi Arabia.
When Cristiano Ronaldo left Europe and went to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo had nothing left to achieve in Europe and the last time he did not perform well at Manchester United, no other club in Europe showed interest in him, which is why he originally moved to Saudi Arabia. After Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and many other stars have already joined Saudi Arabia but I don't think they came to Saudi Arabia because their European careers ended. A number of European league stars have moved to Saudi Arabia due to the promotion and huge money offers. After the stars mentioned above, Neymar has recently left for Saudi Arabia, what do you say about Neymar, is Neymar's career in Europe over? If Neymar wanted to, he could have performed well in Europe for a few more seasons, but he came to Saudi Arabia, maybe with a different plan.
Neymar's career is almost over, and he only has a contract with PSG. PSG was very upset at that time and wanted to sell him as soon as possible to avoid heavy losses. The target PSG wants to keep Mbappe and simultaneously wants to bring Neymar to another club. Neymar is disgruntled with the mayhem inside PSG. His priority is to return to Barcelona, but they are hesitant to release his contract. And other clubs do not dare to spend such a large amount of money to bring in Neymar, who continues to suffer injuries and has to sit on the bench. He has talent, but damage has brought his career down. No European club will be stupid and have enough money to buy him because of his popularity. 
if Ronaldo won't earn a lot of money I'm sure he won't join Al Nassr either. 
At the time when Ronaldo was looking for a club to go to after Manchester United, there were no real offers for him and no club in Europe was really interested in bringing him. The Saudis were the only people that wanted him and they offered a very tempting deal that he considered. If Ronaldo had gotten a fairly good offer from other European clubs that was close to what Al Nassr offered, I am very sure he would have chosen them over a move to Saudi just so he can continue to play in European competitions and the champions league that he loves so much. For me it was indeed the best choice for Cristiano Ronaldo when there was no big offer and at that time an Arab club made a big offer, of course he would choose to go to Saudi Arabia because Ronaldo realized that he had won so many titles in Europe so maybe he needs another challenge from the saudi arabia league and definitely with a bigger salary.
I also understand that all of this is being done by the Arab club because it is to boost the Saudi Arabian club so that it is known in all parts of the world by taking quality players from Europe and we are all now a little surprised after Neymar also flew to the Saudi Arabian league to compete with Ronaldo.
It a little more interesting now that there are lots of European players here. I bet more often on Al-Hilal and also Al-Nassr, although it very rare but it very profitable to bet on those clubs.

Regarding Neymar, we expect to see an amazing performance from this Brazilian player in the next season because Neymar we know can increase the team performance in Al Hilal for the next season.
Steven Gerrard, the coach of Al Ettifaq said Neymar is a great player and after this player joins the Arabian League this can be more challenging for other teams to face Al Hilal.
And yet Saudi Arabia are actually thinking of negotiating with UEFA, they are hoping they will be met as they are only asking for one place. By the way, they would like it to be in 2025. Yes, I realise that it goes against logic and rules, but who knows, maybe money will decide everything. It would be a win for the Saudi League, wouldn't it?
The only weapon owned by saudi was money. There's no hope to make it happen other than use its money but it's still a non sense thing. I don't know the main purpose of club world cup if saudi club forces UEFA to accept its club participate in the UEFA champion league. There may be a war between all of people and team in european league against UEFA. UEFA will not put its reputation into the risk. Still waiting an update regarding it. I believe if UEFA will reject such offer from saudi pro league. Saudi has no strong reason to do that caused by it has a place to participate in the AFC champion league.

So if this proposal is approved by UEFA, the investment made by Saudi Arabia in the two transfer markets will bear fruit because teams from the Saudi Arabian League can participate in the European Champions League. I think it's not just a matter of money but the popularity of the players competing in the Saudi Arabian League is a big consideration for UEFA to approve this proposal. So apart from that, if the proposal put forward by the Saudi Arabian League committee is successful, it will soar the name of their competition and young players in the European League will be more interested in joining the Saudi Arabian League in the coming seasons.Neymar, Benzema and Ronaldo are Europe top players who have chosen to join the Saudi Arabian league this season. So that by joining them in the saudi arabia league it makes the saudi arabia league even more famous and uefa can consider the fame of the 3 players to decide the final result wisely.

Most of the big players that joined the Saudi League since Ronaldo joined, did that because of the fact that they ain't gonna get enough playing time if they remain in Europe hence the decision to go to league where the expectations from fans won't be too high

Already witnessing the big names moving over and some rejecting SPL clubs gigantic proposals because they want to stick together and make things actually work out for them in Europe. Players like Kylian Mbappe was offered a hugh salary which he decline, why? Because he wants to concentrate on Europe football and win the Ballon d'Or awards. Money is the substantial reason why most of these European players move over to Saudi Pro League, they are paid double or triple the amount they earned from their perspective clubs in Europe.
Money is clearly not everything and some players rejected the Saudi Arabian offers because they believe the European leagues have more exposure than the Saudi Arabian Professional league. If Mbappe had moved to the SPL I would have concluded that the dude value money over glories. I know some persons might argue that he would still win trophies over there which is true but Mbappe is a potential Ballon D'or candidate in the coming years and going to the SPL would only damp his chances of winning it.

Most of the clubs he was being linked to like Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid were not interested in signing him probably because of his age, salary and maybe the Manchester United outburst. Even at his age I believe Ronaldo wanted to compete at they highest level, it's just that there were no concrete offers from european clubs that's why Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia.

So that's the problem why no European club wants to take him because he asked for a high salary not because he was unable to compete, clearly they think paying Ronaldo' salary means the same as paying their 5 players' salaries at once and that is not the right idea in business
Ronaldo is lucky there are clubs in this league who are willing to pay him more than what he wants and Ronaldo's decision to move here prompted other players to make the same decision I will not deny if it is Ronaldo effect, apart from the salary of course.Al ahli even without Firmino winning easily
Yeah maybe you're right it's easy win but not optimal, Firmino scored 3 goals in the last match so we know Firmino's contribution is very needed in the team, by the way Al Khaleej just scored 1-2 score for a while. I watched this match and the situation is not safe for AlAhli, Al Khaleej continued to attack to equalize the score, it turns out that other clubs are not as weak as we thought.
I think I will still make a bet on this match maybe about Al Ahli winning -2.5 or maybe -3.5 with pretty good odds I guess.
So you've placed a bet there? unfortunately Al Khaleej was a little lucky to get 1 goal and less than 5 minutes the match will be over, so for the next time you should check the lineup first and make sure all the mainstay players are in the lineup or something surprising could happen, hopefully there is a miracle for your bet.
I believe the "trend" will be this!
After the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, I believe it "opened the eyes" of the Arabs and they realized that football could be an interesting, lucrative sport and even entertainment for them to bring to their countries.
I have no doubts, Europe is home to the best teams in the world and that is undeniable, but I am sure that these signings that some arabian teams have made are directing attention there and around the world, and I believe... soon more signings of excellent and notable players will happen for the Saudi Arabian clubs

European football is the most competitive in the world, and they have the top players in the world playing for them. Everything about football is possible found there. Not only Europe, but the rest of the world, is more interested in European football than they are in the football of their own country. Every the young people's desire is to play for one of Europe's best teams because they believe that's where the money and fame are.
The Saudi Arabian league has just taken a turn on this narrative and wants to change everyone's belief that football cannot compete in only one continent, but that we can get more than one continent to hold the world's great players, making the football competition more competitive and also giving more players around the world a chance to showcase their talents. This is not going to end anytime soon, and football history will change, and the Asian continent will be recognised around the world in the same way that Europe is.
Moreover, today it became known according to media reports that the Saudi League is thinking about sending the league winner to the Champions League. I don't know how FIFA will feel about this idea, but if it happens, it will be great, the SPL will finally reach Europe, it will be a phenomenal event
It must participate in the asian champion league. There's no way for FIFA to accept it or all of people in europe will be protesting it.
It's unlikely to happen. My guess if it's just another sensation news being made to attract people. There was also world club champion league. There's no need to for UEFA to accept it.
As saudi clubs based on the asia territory.

By the way, I forgot to bet on Al Ahli match because I basically believe Al Ahli will be able to win in this away match against Al Khaleej. Because after all, I strongly believe that if Firmino and Mahrez play together in one team it will be able to make a good result for the team as well. Thus, right now we can also see the result at half time that Al Ahli has won 2-0 and Mahrez managed to score a goal also at half time.
But because I still have a lot of confidence in Al Ahli, I think I will still make a bet on this match maybe about Al Ahli winning -2.5 or maybe -3.5 with pretty good odds I guess. After all, I believe that the rich teams in the Saudi league right now will have a great chance to consistently win when playing against mediocre teams.

Al ahli even without Firmino winning easily and this looks like it will be an easy win until the end of the match. The only 4-5 clubs got big players and other teams are really weak because they didnt get any superstars or high quality players so big teams wont have any problems with teams like this

Of course, money is a very important factor. Why would they prefer the Saudi Arabian league if the money is not given so much? Many of the players that come are still qualified players to play in the higher leagues. There are also those who come at a young age. They come because of the money, of course. There is a revolution happening in the Saudi league right now and we are witnessing it live.

It was actually nice to see Neymar directly admitting that it was Cristiano Ronaldo who dared to go to the Saudi League, and everyone just followed him. And obviously he did tell the truth. There is a reason why Cristiano Ronaldo is the most influential footballer ever. Right now the Saudi league has actually become very competitive. A lot of players have gone to the Saudi league.
Saudi is trying to make the place visitable for everyone. They are getting ready for the future. Of course, Saudi is rich in natural resources. But they are also a great businessman. So they are trying to use every opportunity to make money. I know Saudi has become a tourist spot for a lot of people.
Neymar is definitely true about the situation and that is definitely an understandable situation. However, we are going to end up one day accepting that these guys did not go there because of Ronaldo at all, that had nothing to do with their decision. Let me put it this way, if a Saudi team offered Neymar 5 million a year, or 10 million a year, do you think he would have accepted? Of course not, he would have rejected that deal easily, without even thinking about it.Saudi is trying to make the place visitable for everyone. They are getting ready for the future. Of course, Saudi is rich in natural resources. But they are also a great businessman. So they are trying to use every opportunity to make money. I know Saudi has become a tourist spot for a lot of people.
But he said Ronaldo played a part in this, if Ronaldo is the reason, why is he rejecting 10 million or even maybe 20 million? What if he was offered 100-200 million a year 1 year ago, before Ronaldo went there, and PSG told him to go, do you think he would say no to 100-200 million because Ronaldo is not there? Lets be real, he would be on first plane to Saudi Arabia to accept that deal.
Looking at the latest interview during the introduction of Neymar with Al-Hilal, there Neymar said "Ronaldo started all of this and everyone called him crazy". We can see a star like Neymar admitting the effect of Ronaldo is very real. I think Ronaldo opened the door to the saudi league, other players came in, and benefited. But I understand that all European players want to come here, obviously to make a lot of money, but it must be admitted that if Ronaldo had not come here first, it would be impossible for all the players to want to come. There is always a role model for every player and Ronaldo proves that.
It's because men have a high ego and they want to be respected, if they join Saudi Arabia which is a small and unknown league before Ronaldo joined Al Nassr, his career would be ruined and no one will know him anymore. Joining such league is shameful for them.But with Ronaldo joined Al Nassr, it's proving he can make many fans to watch Saudi Professional League and they think it's not shameful anymore join Saudi Arabia team.

Bono now also going to AlHilal, what a shame, i dont know why Sevilla its gonna leave him, he is one of the most talented goalkeppers in the world, i know he is muslim so he is gonna be in a muslim country, but come on, you have so much to do in Europe.
And neymar ended his carrer with this move.
I don't think an agreement has been reached with the player and in fact he still played for Sevilla last night against Man City in the UEFA Super Cup, but Al Hilal has got the green light from Sevilla to take Bono there, some media reports Sevilla agreed to an offer of €19 million plus up to €21 million in additions. No one knows Sevilla's decision to sell Bono, even though if you look at Bono's ability under the crossbar, he is still quite good and he was one of the players who played a role in helping Sevilla win the Europa league title last season.And neymar ended his carrer with this move.
I don't see anything strange if finally Bono moves to the Saudi League it's a normal decision we also know Bono is one of the best goalkeepers but you forget that he is an old goalkeeper, a club needs to regenerate they cannot rely on old players while the competition will continue so they have to prepare something new. Situations like this often occur in several clubs such as Manchester United releasing De Gea. Back to Bono, Sevilla made the right decision because there was a club that wanted to sign Bono so they would get additional funds and this will be used to bring in a new goalkeeper compare with De Gea being released and Manchester United not getting anything.
So far, there has been no official statement regarding Bono's move to Al Hilal but some media published news about this even reached the agreement stage, I suspect an official announcement will be made next Monday during normal activity after the weekend. We can also see this indication on Transfermarkt,com the percentage of moving to Al Hilal reaches 90% I often use this indication because it has high accuracy, let's just wait for the official news.

Likewise with the choice of Neymar who decided to play in the Saudi Arabian League and in my opinion this was an inappropriate decision because Neymar still has a good chance of achieving his best career in Europe and Neymar's abilities are still very good, it's just that he often gets injured.
