نعم، الدوري السعودي أصعب من النخبة الآسيوية بنظامها الجديد فنياً وبدنياً ونفسياً، وهذا ليس تقليلاً من حجم بطولة النخبة لأكبر قارات العالم، ولكنه مجرد توضيح لحقيقة غائبة عن بعض المغيبين من هول صدمة وفرحة تحقيق بطولة آسيا.
أعيدها مجدداً، نعم الدوري السعودي أصعب من النخبة الآسيوية؛ لأنك تلعب 34 جولة مرهقة جداً، يتواجه من خلالها 18 فريقاً قوياً متقاربة في المستوى، تملك لاعبين أجانب وسعوديين مميزين جداً، ومدربين على مستوى عالٍ، ناهيك عن الضغط الجماهيري والإعلامي طوال الموسم.
لذلك تحقيق الدوري يحتاج إلى نفس طويل، واستقرار فني وإداري، وثبات عالٍ في المستوى، وأخيراً عليك أن «تأكل بيدك»، فليس هناك فرصة تدعمك بجدول يضعك في مجموعة ضعيفة أو فرق متواضعة من غرب آسيا، حتى في حال التأهل كما يحدث في بطولة النخبة الآسيوية، التي خدمت الأندية السعودية بلعب نصف النهائي والنهائي في أرضنا وبين جماهيرنا.
النسخة الحالية لبطولة النخبة الآسيوية هي الأسهل بالنظام الجديد الذي تتنافس فيه 8 أندية من غرب آسيا في ما بينها، وكذلك 8 أخرى من شرق آسيا، ويخوض كل فريق 4 مباريات على أرضه و4 مباريات خارج ملعبه، والنتائج الكبيرة للأندية السعودية ضد أندية غرب وشرق آسيا دليل دامغ على قوة الدوري السعودي.
فقط لزيادة التأكيد على صعوبة الدوري السعودي عن غيره من البطولات وخاصة النخبة الآسيوية بنظامها الجديد، دعونا نستعرض أندية غرب آسيا المشاركة في النخبة ونقارنها ببعض الأندية السعودية..
(السد القطري، الوصل الإماراتي، استقلال طهران الإيراني، الريان القطري، باختاكور الأوزبكي، برسيبوليس الإيراني، الغرافة القطري، الشرطة العراقي، العين الإماراتي)..
(الاتحاد، الهلال، النصر، الأهلي، القادسية، الشباب، الاتفاق، الفتح، التعاون، الرياض، ضمك، الخليج).
مع احترامي لأندية غرب آسيا المشاركة في النخبة وبمقارنتها فنياً بالأندية السعودية المذكوره أعلاه.. نقول لها «آستريح».
الغرض من المقال هو التوضيح والتأكيد على قوة الدوري السعودي، وعدم التقليل منه فقط لأن الاتحاد هو البطل.
فالدوري السعودي لا يقل صعوبة عن الإنجليزي والإسباني والفرنسي وغيرها من دوريات فئة A.
وأخيراً، نجدد المباركة للأهلي لحفظه ماء وجه الرياضة السعودية بالظفر ببطولة آسيا للنخبة بعد مغادرة الهلال والنصر.
ونبارك للاتحاد بطل الدوري السعودي الأهم والأقوى خليجياً وعربياً وقارياً وقريباً عالمياً.
.. وللحديث بقية.

Yes, the Saudi league is tougher than the Asian elite league in its new format, both technically, physically, and psychologically. This is not to diminish the significance of the elite championship of the largest continents in the world, but merely to clarify a reality that is absent for some who are oblivious due to the shock and joy of winning the Asian championship.
I'll say it again: yes, the Saudi league is tougher than the Asian elite league because you play 34 exhausting rounds, during which 18 strong teams of similar levels compete, possessing very distinguished foreign and Saudi players, as well as high-level coaches, not to mention the pressure from fans and the media throughout the season.
Therefore, winning the league requires a long breath, technical and administrative stability, high consistency in performance, and finally, you must "eat with your own hands," as there is no opportunity that supports you with a schedule that places you in a weak group or modest teams from West Asia, even in the case of qualification, as happens in the Asian elite championship, which has benefited Saudi clubs by playing the semi-finals and finals on our soil and among our fans.
The current version of the Asian elite championship is the easiest under the new system, where 8 clubs from West Asia compete against each other, as well as 8 others from East Asia, with each team playing 4 matches at home and 4 matches away. The significant results of Saudi clubs against clubs from West and East Asia are a compelling proof of the strength of the Saudi league.
Just to further emphasize the difficulty of the Saudi league compared to other championships, especially the Asian elite league in its new format, let's review the West Asian clubs participating in the elite and compare them with some Saudi clubs..
(Al-Sadd from Qatar, Al-Wasl from the UAE, Esteghlal Tehran from Iran, Al-Rayan from Qatar, Pakhtakor from Uzbekistan, Persepolis from Iran, Al-Gharafa from Qatar, Al-Shorta from Iraq, Al-Ain from the UAE)..
(Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli, Al-Qadisiyah, Al-Shabab, Al-Ettifaq, Al-Fateh, Al-Taawoun, Al-Riyadh, Dhamk, Al-Khaleej).
With all due respect to the West Asian clubs participating in the elite, when compared technically to the aforementioned Saudi clubs, we say to them, "Take it easy."
The purpose of this article is to clarify and affirm the strength of the Saudi league and not to undermine it just because Al-Ittihad is the champion.
The Saudi league is no less challenging than the English, Spanish, French leagues, and others in the A category.
Finally, we extend our congratulations to Al-Ahli for preserving the dignity of Saudi sports by winning the Asian elite championship after the departure of Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr.
And we congratulate Al-Ittihad, the champion of the Saudi league, which is the most important and strongest league in the Gulf, Arab, continental, and soon global.
.. And the discussion continues.
