Likewise with the teams in the top four of the standings. Al Ittihad did their 4 matches smoothly, scored 12 goals and conceded none. you can be sure, this one team will defend the league title this season. Likewise with Al-Ahli, moving smoothly in his 4 matches and will try to overtake Al Ittihad at the top of the standings. no less competitive, Al Hilal will provide tough competition for its rivals in this competition. there will be exciting competition, from several teams that have Europe's top star players. As for Al Nassr, Luis Casto's squad is in 6th place, 6 points away from Al Ittihad and Al-Ahli. Like it or not, Luis Casto has to maximize his squad to reduce the points gap from the teams we mentioned in this post.

However, it is not an easy matter. because both Al Ittihad, Al-Ahli and Al Hilal will always target victory in every match. and if Al Nassr slips again like in the first two matches, that means they will be even more points behind them. Even so, this competition still has many matches that must be played by all teams. Likewise with Al Nassr, this team is one of the most competitive teams in this competition. not mighty difficult for them to be in the top four of the standings. However, to win the trophy, at least Al Nassr must defeat the teams that are their rivals.

Ronaldo might still have the chance to take a penalty away which could add to his tally of goals in this match, but he chose to give Ghareeb the chance to step up as executor.
This is a normal thing that Cristiano often does in matches.
It is very likely that Cristiano Ronaldo will be the top scorer this season in the Saudi Professional League with Al Nassr.

Not seen in the Al Hilal lineup. Maybe he will be used against the leaders, Al Ittihad on September 1 in the fifth match. I am sure Neymar will be played in this match considering that since he was brought in by Al Hilal he has never been seen at all even though there is no news that he is injured.

In my opinion, Player Ghareeb still lacks confidence, that's why C. Ronaldo is willing to give a penalty to his friend so he can gain self-confidence. Because as you said, Ronaldo could have scored a hat-trick but he gave it to Ghareeb. As Ghareb's player since last season, he is always there to help C. Ronaldo when it comes to scoring goals. When dribbling the ball his eyes were always on C Ronaldo, he even had the opportunity to kick into an open goal but he always gave it to Ronaldo.

And now that Ronaldo gave him a penalty, it was a big burden for him. But I'm sure Ronaldo did that to gain confidence. Ghareeb is a good player and Ronaldo saw a good opportunity in Ghareeb. If you remember last season, Cristiano Ronaldo also gave Taliska a penalty so that his friends could win. Being the league's top scorer, it's no wonder why the team spirit is so good and even more surprising.

It's true, Al Nassr really needs consecutive wins and big wins like this, because in the first two matches they got poor results. We know that this season's Arab League will be very competitive, of course the competition to win the League is also very tight, there are four clubs that have almost the same strength because there are several star players.

Yep this show how good is Ronaldo to respect his teammates since his teammates always put a high respect to him. If Ronaldo can become a stop scorer in this league, it's mean he still able to play in Europe because there are many European players joining Saudi Professional League.

However where is Neymar? he's not injured but he still never play for Al Hilal.

Cristiano Ronaldo was able to do it indeed. Although he let his teammate step for the kick but Al-Nassr fans wanted Cristiano Ronaldo to shoot it and the goal was missed at the end
For the red card, Al-Shabab received already 3 goals and its interference with the game result isn't that important at all.

The red card here had a heavier impact on Al-Taee which is weaker than Al-Ahli.
This round, top Saudis teams won their games and Al-Nassr advanced to the 6th place.

This is new season, we would be able to determined good players that will ranked the goal chart. Providing such an important lists, feels good to see my favorite footballer topping the table. The Saudi pro league becoming more competitive this season, alot of attackers have wakened up from their relenting efforts and start displaying stellar performance in league games. Making spectacular results at the age of 38, he's a high class top scorer with brilliant finishes. I'm not shocked with the goal stats leaderboard, Ronaldo is a top player with extra ordinary qualities. He's crucial player for Al Nassr, with his enchanced abilities.

 Al-Nassr vs Al-Shabab team today match, Al-Nassr team played very well from the beginning to the end of the game. Al-Nassr scored 4 goals in this match and won the match. Al-Shabab team players performed very badly in this match today.  Al-Shabab lost the match by 4 goals. After the halftime of the game, the player of Al-Shabab team É.  Banega received 1 red card in 78 minutes.

Hamdallah its gonna have a very strong contenders against him 

I said it early but again, the quality of goals of Cristiano its really low, he its only making tap-ins goals, or penalty kicks, he is now a pure number 9 with good speed.

Messi its still showing quality in the other hand.

Currently Ronaldo is still the top scorer in the SPL. By the age of 38 he has made 5 goals. Here's the provisional list of Saudi Pro League 2023/2024 goal scorers
1. Cristiano Ronaldo 5 goals   
2. Abderrazak Hamdallah 4 goals
3. Malcom 4 goals
4. Sadio Mané 4 goals
5. Fashion Sakala 3 goals

Saudi Professional League has really started to heat up and get exciting. After looking at the quality of the teams, it's going to be a real challenge for Al-Nassr to confirm the league title. They haven't been very consistent in their performance. But good thing is that they've managed to pull off two consecutive wins. Also Ronaldo has already made his name on the Saudi League top scorers. Hopefully, both Cristiano and his team can keep up this strong performance and keep dominating. Saudi Arabia has invested in many top-notch players from around the world, making it a tough competition for any team.

Cristiano Ronaldo almost scored a hat-trick of penalties but he discouraged him and instead gave Ghareeb the chance to take the third penalty but unfortunately it missed. Al-Nassr dominated the match but Al-Shabab also occasionally carried out attacks but the result was zero. Even Ever Banega got a red card in this match which made Al-Shabab play with only 10 players and that made Al-Nassr more flexible to attack. A good result from Al-Nassr with a score of 4-0 without reply against Al-Shabab and let them breathe a little easier with these two consecutive wins.

Elsewhere, Al-Ahli also succeeded in getting another victory against Al-Tai with a convincing score of 2-0 and in this match someone also received a red card which made Al-Tai play with 10 players. Initially, Al-Ahli had a very difficult time breaking into his opponent's goal even though he had been reinforced with starters, usually Firmino, Maiximin and Mahrez. But since his opponent received a red card, making Al-Tai's defense even more fragile and the opportunity was well used by Mahrez to score and in the second half was closed by a goal scored by Kessie which made them win without any interruption. Al-Ahli is now in 2nd place in the Saudi league standings with only a goal difference from leaders Al-Ittihad.

Ronaldo and mane seem to have better chemistry compared with the previous match. I saw that how both of players were helping each other. I saw that mane got some golden chances but he have not yet able made proper finishing against it.
I hope the chemistry between either of players will be even stronger than before. It's time for al nassr to go up again to compete with benzema's club.

Ittihad has become the strongest competitor for al nassr. SPL is still having al ahli and hilal which have been also bought so many great players from europe.
Im feeling the competition will be even stricter soon as nassr comes back again to the top position.

The battle between all of the clubs owned by PIF will happen soon. Let's see which club that has the best performance this season.

I learned a funny thing just yesterday: it turns out that the Arab Champions Cup that Al-Nasr recently won is a friendly tournament (since FIFA does not recognize the existence of a football organization of Arab countries), so formally the title and goals scored in this tournament do not go to the "official" offset. It is clear that these are bureaucratic nuances that do not devalue this title in any way, but it was fun to watch the next wave of confrontation between haters and fanboys of Ronaldo on this topic.

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.
