Neymar finally made his debut with Al Hilal and this is what he said
Neymar Jr and Al Hilal
Neymar Jr finally made his debut for Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. The Brazilian footballer arrived this season as a surprise signing from PSG for a significant amount. However, the player had not been able to play a single minute due to his injuries in the most recent season. Despite this, the player returned to action in the most recent FIFA International Break with the Brazilian team, where he scored important goals to become the top scorer in the history of his country’s team.
Now, the player started from the bench in a match where his presence was imminent. Al Hilal faced Al Riyadh in a match that the locals dominated to their liking and the result could have ended up being more lopsided than it was. Malcolm and Mitrovic were present on the scoreboard. Neymar came on in the second half and assisted his Brazilian friend Malcolm, who extended the home team’s lead on the scoreboard.
At half an hour, Aleksandar Mitrovic, with a penalty, opened the scoring and in added time of the first half Yasir Al Shahrani scored the second. With Neymar on the field, Nasser Al Dawsari scored the third and also the fifth, from a penalty, and the sixth in added time. Between them, Malcom had signed the fourth. Ali Al Zaqan scored the visiting goal. The match really was an exhibition of goals in favor of the home team.
What’s next for Neymar and Al Hilal?
Neymar’s debut and solo leadership for Jorge Jesús’s team. The reality is that the team is positioned as one of the clubs in the highest level of form in the Saudi Pro League. Neymar could be the missing piece for Al Hilal to connect in an important way and position themselves as the rival to beat in the Saudi Pro League. At the moment, a total of 6 dates have been played in the league. For Neymar, this game was not the ideal one to score, but the Brazilian is expected to be filled with assists and goals in his first experience in Saudi Arabian soccer and the player showed his gratitude with the fans in his social media.
