what you say is right, just look at how the Brazilian league or other world cup subscription countries don't attract many spectators there because the eyes of the football world are already focused on the leagues in Europe, but it takes a very large fee to be able to boost the popularity of the Arab league such as bringing in players star players who are entering retirement age because that's the only trick they can use to direct the eyes of world football fans to the arab league.

What you are saying is going too far if you think that the Saudi Pro League will be like the leagues in Europe because it takes determination and a supportive atmosphere to be able to make this happen even the leagues on the American continent where many of their countries are also world cup subscribers have not been able to match the tight and exciting leagues in Europe. Arabs can bring in several star players who are approaching retirement age to their clubs but that will not have an impact on the development of the league, moreover we know Al Nassr's decision to bring in Ronaldo was one of them to introduce Saudi Arabia which is eyeing the position of hosting the world cup. The European League will remain the most competitive and attractive and will always be the target of players who have good skills to play because their careers will be brighter there compared to playing in leagues on other continents, and the Ronaldo effect will gradually disappear when there is nothing interesting there anymore.

ROnaldo is a big name an he will remain a rising star for decades.
Ronaldo alone has brought so much fame to Al Nasr - ALNasar is now a well recognized club people follow the club and love the thing that Ronaldo is in Saudia

Things like that do happen in football. There are rules and precautions for some act in football and this rules did not favor Ronaldo in England but he was just so confident of himself such that he forgot about his age. Forcing Himself to get the glory that young players deserve is the main reason.
Another problem was his rude way of approaching Manchester united set back ( facilities)
England did not insult him, just that CR7 wasn't lucky in england

Yep. The point gap is only 1 point but Al Ittihad looks playing consistently this season, they are very possible to maintain their positions and win all the remaining matches. I am also not really sure that Al Nassr will win all the remaining matches. Al Nassr still has some tough matches, they are possible to lose more points. However, it is just in theory, Al Ittihad is not impossible to lose points, too. If Al Ittihad gets a draw or a lose in the remaining matches, Al Nassr is still possible to return to 1st place. Even if the chance is quite small, surely it is not impossible.

I think Christiano Ronaldo is right about what he said about the Saudi Arabia league, already Saudi Arabia is getting interesting  and it is becoming one of the fastest growing league. If Saudi Arabia teams can afford to get big players it will make the league to be like one of the big European leagues.

So far Al Ittihad have 10 good records unbeaten at Saudi Professional League, so possible to they will be able to continue this positive trend until they meet Al Hilal. But in the world of football sometimes a team isn't always lucky, and maybe you're right Al Nassr can to shift Al Ittihad position before that match. Let's hope Al Nassr can be consistent in collecting of points because if they can't maybe their gap in standings will widen and that will make it difficult for Al Nassr later.

I really don't know which club you are referring to. in fact, after Ronaldo and Piers Morgan's interviews neither club really wanted him. even before, Todd Boehly wanted to bring him to Stamford Bridge. however, unfortunately it was just a discourse that never materialized.
But I agree with the salary issue, even though Mendes has negotiated with several clubs plus reduced 30% of his salary. but still, Ronaldo's salary is very high. one more thing, I agree that Ronaldo is too old and that could change the plans of the team. regardless, it's not that many clubs can't afford it. because, he is a free transfer status. so, the point is the issue of salary and age.

To be honest, we have never doubted Ronaldo's greatness, skill, talent, speed, he has it. but, when he was fresh and young. for now as we can see, Ronaldo is not that impressive. naturally, the age factor makes someone not as agile as when he was young. for Al Nassr, I have discussed it many times. so, this time I will not discuss it.
by the way, Liechtenstein is ranked 198th. Naturally, if Portugal gets a landslide victory which in fact they are in 9th place. plus, Ronaldo's contribution, pretty good.

I don't understand what you're saying here because when did Portugal play against England as far as I know Portugal's opponent recently was Liechtenstein and Portugal won 4-0.


do you guys believe this will happen and is the arab league that tight lol.

Football can never be relied upon. Given Ronaldo's age, he is performing very well for Al Nassr. Portugal's match with England gave England a tooth-breaking reply in Ronaldo's old age. Because after joining the club of Al Nassr, the English clubs insulted Ronaldo very badly. But by playing at home, Ronaldo has given England a tooth-breaking reply, which I like very much and I am very happy.

Despite the enormous expectations from the fans of Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has really lived beyond those expectations if you ask me and judging by his age. So many people think that the Saudi Pro League isn't as competitive as that of the European leagues so he should be scoring as many goals as possible which I think is not true.
Ronaldo is doing his best for the team and expectations shouldn't be left for him to carry alone but from the 11 players that represents the club in the pitch.  His two goals for his country on Friday shows that he still one his the best in the game but that shouldn't be a reason to expect more than he can give

Messi won't have any impact on the Saudi Arabia league, the only thing that can make him relevant is because Ronaldo will be playing there so there'll always be comparisons between them and that could trigger him to play better just as it did when both of them were playing in La Liga. Messi is a fraud when he doesn't have the whole team playing for him. Aren't people realizing that Messi career in PSG is a flop. Now if he moves from PSG to Saudi Arabia league that'll even be worse because he'll have to be carrying the whole team which is something Messi isn't capable of doing that's why it'll be a risk for Messi to move. He should have retired in Barcelona where he's been worshipped.

Ronaldo on the other hand has proven himself in whatever league he goes to which is why his move to Saudi Arabia is looking promising to him. All he just need it assist and he'll deliver goals for the team. Just as Messi is struggling at PSG, he'll also struggle in Saudi professional league. He better not come unless they're ready to bribe the referee here as they did for him at Barcelona and Argentina so he get easy calls that favors his team to win games.

More popular players into the league will make the league more popular. This could increase the standard of play and make better players from the Asian countries. However it takes much more time for Saudi Arabia Pro League to meet the standards as the leagues played on the Western nations. With the involvement of Ronaldo the league have gained attention among the world football enthusiasts and the same will increase when more players be the part of the league.

Wow, I confess I didn't know that...
Well, I'm not a football expert, but I imagined that Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr would be something related to marketing, and also because he's an excellent player (in my opinion, one of the best currently)... There was no doubt that C. Ronaldo could be a guide for the team's newcomers as this transaction was reported worldwide!

Well, to be honest I don't know, but I imagine that if Al Nassr wanted to assemble a team to be champion, they could have hired 2, 3 or 4 players who together could be superior to Cristiano Ronaldo, but I have no doubt that supposedly those 2, 3 or 4 players could never have the impact that C. Ronaldo had on Al Nassr including for Saudi Professional League football

What risk does Messi take if he plays in the Arab League? I see no risks to play in Saudi Pro League. Messi even can get a bigger salary and he can give a big contribution to Saudi Pro League. In the future, people will always remember that Messi ever contributes to making Arab league bigger. His name will be in Saudi Pro League history forever.

Sure, not only Messi, Arab League must bring more famous players from top European leagues. More famous players come, people will be more excited to watch Saudi Pro League matches.

I think it is going to come down the wire, I do not think that either team will be celebrating the title anytime before the last game. We do not know of course, because in the next 9 games one of the teams could end up losing like 2 games and make it harder and all that, but I feel like that is not going to happen. I think the difference will stay within one game margin and the very last game will decide it.

Let's see how it will go, Ronaldo would be insanely upset if he doesn't win the championship here as well, because he knows very well that online everyone will bully him and his fans for not even winning Saudi title, so he will play much better from now on.

Al Nassr will play against Al Hilal after the Al Adalh and Al Feiha matches. Ittihad FC will play against Al Shabab after matches against Damak FC and Al Wehda. I think Ittihad FC have a more demanding match schedule. After these matches, Al Nassr can take back the league leadership. In addition, Al Nassr will play with Al Wehda in the Saudi Arabian Champions Cup matches. Ittihat FC will play with El Hilal in the other semi-final match of the same cup. These matches can be an opportunity to catch a good series for Ronaldo and his teammates because they have a better match schedule than Ittihat FC.

But I'm not so sure Messi would take the risk by playing in the Arab league. His presence at PSG also does not show anything more. In contrast to when he played at Barcelona which was served entirely by other players.
Yes, of course if Messi moves to the Arab league, the eyes of the audience will be on the Arab league.
I think the Arab league needs to bring in more European league players. This will make the Arab league style of play even more interesting. At present we see that the Arab League can play quickly, even with a very good level of accuracy in passing. But they always lose when they meet European clubs. Maybe it lies in the mentality of the players.

Even though Ronaldo's outspoken comments caused a commotion, his on-field prowess should not be overlooked. Consider his two goals he scored for Portugal against Liechtenstein. He is not a spring chicken, but neither is he near death. There's nothing more exciting than watching the greatest player of all time try his hand at a new sport, so I'm eager to see what Ronaldo brings to the Saudi Arabian league. what if Messi tags along for the ride? It'd be a sight to see these football giants clash, and the Saudi Arabian league would be all the richer for it

The fierce competition between Al-ittihad and Al-Nassr is still ongoing with 9 matches remaining this season. and the difference of 1 point is a very thin difference that makes it possible for the two teams to take turns occupying the top of the standings. al-ittihad and Al-nassr have the same level of consistency. so the opportunity for both is still wide open. and for the 3rd rank I still doubt it will belong to Al-Hilal. even though Al-hilal has 2 postponed matches it cannot be a guarantee that Al-hilal can win the 2 postponed matches. The 2 postponed matches were against al-feiha and al-khaleej. and these 2 matches will be held in close proximity, namely on April 2 Al-hilal vs Al-khaleej and April 5 Al-hilal vs Al-feiha.

for the match against Al-khaleej maybe I have no doubt that Al-hilal will win quite easily. but after 2 days Al-hilal had to face Al-Feiha. and Al-Feiha is a club that is quite strong even in the history of 5 meetings with Al-hilal, we can see that Al-Feiha is far superior with 3 wins 1 loss and 1 draw. and plus the physical condition of the Al-hilal players might not be too optimal because of course they didn't get enough rest after the match against Al-Khaleej on the 2nd. and after finishing against Al-Feiha it turns out that on the 8th of April Al-hilal must also be ready to return against Al Shabab. and Al-shabab certainly has no doubt the quality of the game that can trouble Al-hilal. and once again I think the Al-hilal players will be a little tired and not perform optimally. because just imagine 3 matches in close time is very tiring. Namely April 2, 5 and 8. if the match schedules are not too close together then I am pretty sure Al-hilal will be able to beat the 3 teams but with the tight schedule conditions I think this will have a lot of effect on the performance of the Al-hilal players themselves.
