When the two greats, Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr, meet in the Riyadh derby, the sports street lives in calm and concentration, and since the Kingdom has known football, the rivalry between Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr has emerged. Championship, which is a record in Saudi football, but it is difficult to predict the outcome of the match.

Today's meeting is important for Al Hilal, to pursue the leader Al Ittihad team, which presents its credentials this season.

In the event of a tie, Al-Ittihad will get closer to winning the Saudi League. Today’s meeting is called the Great Derby, or the Riyadh Derby, which is the most watched match by the fans of the two teams and neutrals, and the expected summit today is not the first meeting, as Al Hilal became the knot of victory, especially since he brought it out. From more than one championship.

How beautiful is the return of the Saudi Al-Ittihad team to the competition, as its usual and appropriate place is at the top of the league, and after the inclusion of the Brazilian Igor and the Moroccan Hamdallah, Al-Eti appeared in a different and strong way. From behind the screens, everyone knows the overwhelming popularity of the union everywhere, especially in Jeddah, the bride of the Red Sea.

Now Al Ittihad offers fantastic and powerful levels, reminiscent of the golden age (the eighties and nineties).

It was surprising that some of them blamed Al-Ahly youth coach Mahdi Ali, and the critics did not know the team's absence and injuries!

Mahdi Ali is one of the qualified coaches, but he lacks the tools, especially since the foreign players did not serve the team, and they constituted a weak point.

Many are calling for the dismissal of Mahdi Ali, and even if a new coach comes, he will not be an addition. From my point of view, Al-Ahly youth need super foreign players, and with the presence of international players, he will return to the competition again, provided what I mentioned is available.

Optimism is the title of Al Wasl fans, and this is a positive thing, and the temporary committee is required to renew the team from foreign and resident players with a change of coach as well.

The return of the Al-Waslawi emperor is important, and the committee needs time, and it will be judged next season, and I think that the committee is able to replace, renew and compete as well, and this requires great work, and the committee is capable of that.

• Today's meeting is important for Hilal, to pursue the leading federation that presents its credentials this season.
