Alert: -Saudi Professional League 2011-12-

He was sometimes used as forward by Calderon.
Regarding Ittis performance I think its fatigue which killing the players.Lots of matches in short period of time plus the pressure on the players.I am more worried now as the teams 6-7 players are off to a NT training camp in Malasiya where they will play friendly and a Do-Die match against the Thailand.Then come back and prepare for derby against Shabab and 3 days later semis against Jeonbok and after 1 week again go to SK for the return leg.
This will hugely add up to the players fitness which will surely have an impact either in any one of the competitions.

 

Results-
Fateh 1-6 Qadsiya
Ansar 0-2 Ittifaq [Never thought Ansar will be this worst when they return to league]
Raed 0-1 Najran
Shabab 2-2 Ittihad
Both of Shababs goal were questionable.First one was unintentional foul by Monthashri,second the referee allowed the game to go on after calling of foul for Shabab when Hazazi was on the ailing in the ground for injury.Braveheart move by itti coach by resting 5 starters for ACL.Defence was great again and hope Hamad carry on the form in the ACL too.

 

Faysali 0-2 Hilal
Hajer 0-3 Nasser
Ahli 4-2 Tawoon

Looking at the clubs performance who are in next ACL, I certainly beleive that Saudi clubs will have good match to other clubs.Ittifaq is doing great in league so far but have to face some test against big teams like Hilal,Shabab,Ahli.
Shabab and Hilal also doing pretty good under there new coaches with Shabab looking more promising.
BTW,I am really missing the loudspeakers in the matches,as to we dont have to listen the fans,club officials shouting at the players and other head burst noises on the field some like when the players are ailing in pain.

Ittifaq had first goal against them today so far after 5 round of matches.Watched there game against Nasser,there GK was fantastic and far better than Hassan Otaibi.I still dont know why when we are having some good starters in the others clubs than the usual top 4 clubs then why are they not selected in the NT.

 

It is confirmed.Soon there will be 1 more addition to it which Ittihad.

Hilal struggled to get past Raed plus the score is 2-0 compared to 8-0 of Ittihad.In either ways we would have given them the blues.
