The pattern of the Sand Super Cup has changed suddenly! The defending champion withdrew: Ronaldo may go straight to the final, Benzema is hanging?

The defending Saudi Super Cup champion Riyadh Crescent actually officially announced his withdrawal and no longer participate.

In this way, the original pattern of the entire event was instantly completely rewritten.

And this news is almost a free gift for Ronaldo and his victory in Riyadh, and he may have just been "willed" to the finals.

This time in Hong Kong, Ronaldo seems to be only one step away from the championship.

Originally, the Saudi Super Cup was the best stage for Saudi football to show its financial resources, and the highlights were clearly arranged.

But Riyadh Crescent's decision made it feel like he didn't take the organizer seriously, and his posture was quite high.

For comparison, Ronaldo and Benzema have long begun to warm up for the Hong Kong game, while Riyadh Crescent reveals a sense of arrogance that "I must be my" is. Although

was fined in the end, this amount of money has nothing to do with clubs of their level.

So the situation is that the new moon exits and there is only one highlight left in the semi-finals:

Riyadh victory vs Jeddah United.

These two teams have a head-on confrontation. Which one has a greater chance of winning? Let's look at the lineup directly.

Riyadh wins here: Ronaldo, Mane, Talisca, Otavio, Brozovic, Laporte.

The Jeddah United side: Benzema, Kante, Fabinho, Romanionho, Jota, Luis Felipe.

Looking at the list alone is indeed a star-studded one. But the players' status is not exactly the same.

Let’s first look at several core veterans. Benzema and Kante's decline in condition is visible to the naked eye.

Benzema often performed poorly in key battles, and Kante also lost his dominance at his peak.

Looking at Ronaldo and Mane, although they are not young, their competitive state is much more stable, and their role at critical moments is unquestionable.

So to be honest, in terms of the core players, the victory team has a very obvious advantage.

and the other positions in the midfield.

Otavio and Talisca are both absolute main players in the victory team, one is responsible for organizing and connecting the group, and the other is responsible for siege and seizing the city.

And Jeddah United's Fabinho, Jota and others did not perform particularly well last season. In such a head-on game, it is probably difficult to gain any advantage.

The only variable in the victory side may be Brozovic. His condition has never been adjusted to the best. It is hard to say whether he can start stably.

So, the conclusion is clear in general.

The core lineup of Riyadh Victory has suppressed Jeddah United, both in terms of paper strength and recent performance.

In this highly anticipated showdown in Hong Kong, Benzema's team is highly likely to become the background board for Ronaldo to advance.

Especially for Benzema and Kante, this semi-final is probably their last chance to compete for their first championship of the season.
