It is a big loss in finance for Al Hilal and they will have to consider for a continuation with Neymar or end the contract with him sooner. I don't know but Al Hilal possibly are smart enough to have a term in contract to avoid high compensation fee to Neymar if they break the contract with player. We will know about future of Neymar in Al Hilal soo, in this January and in next summer.

In this season, Al Hilal have Mitrovic with his very high form which contributes a lot for their performances. Without Neymar will not be big problem for Al Hilal because their good results before Neymar in their club is an evidence that they were a strong team without the Brazilian player.

So going onward without Neymar will not be too difficult for Al Hilal to maintain their good performances. With their big difference (7 points) against Al Nassr, maintaining good performances will be enough for Al Hilal to win Saudi Professional League.

Al Hilal is fortunate that even without Neymar they stayed unbeaten in SPL. Anyhow, Al Hilal has players who can lock horns with the best clubs in the SPL. Prolific goal scorer Alexandar Mitrovic competes with Ronaldo in having the most goals in SPL. Furthermore, the goalkeeper of the club is unmatched. The club now has the most clean sheets in SPL, thanks to Yassine Bono, who prevented them from giving up several goals.

And it is unsure if the club will perform the same when Neymar returns. Despite the injury of Neymar, the brand of Al Hilal is well publicized and is growing in popularity outside of Saudi Arabia.

Bringing in a player with a high transfer fee but the player has only played a few times and has already suffered a serious injury is indeed a heavy blow for Al-hilal. And what caused Al-Hilal to suffer was because Neymar was injured, not while defending the Al-Hilal squad. But luckily FIFA has a club protection program. And AL-hilal can get financial compensation for the injury that happened to Neymar while playing for the Brazilian national team.

So that Al-Hilal's financial losses can be somewhat replaced. But the loss felt by Al-hilal may be more about disappointment because the players they wanted were absent and unable to defend the Al-hilal squad throughout this season.

I really want to get a link to the correct news saying that Al Hilal experienced financial losses, even though without this news, I'm sure many people would have suspected this, seeing how they and not only Al Hilal but also several other clubs are no longer aggressively reporting that they want to buy European players at that fantastic price, because even though the Saudi pro league is becoming more and more famous, they have not been able to beat the European league, whose competition is much more interesting to watch and I'm sure those who watch the Saudi pro league only want to see Ronaldo compete.
Al Hilal is strong not because of Neymar's presence, because how can a player who only plays a few matches influence a team, Al Hilal's current impressive performance is because of other players even though they are not as famous as Neymar

In early days after signing Cristiano Ronaldo they were clearly looking for the another big name and after refusal from the Messi they were having only Neymar Jr as suitable candidate even we all know about his past at the PSG and his injury issues as well but still Al Hilal take this risk, and they fail to have any positive result from this which is surely setback for them, but now they can learn from this and having some better things for their future as well which will help them for having better things into this league.

As mostly peoples know Neymar is selfish player with his own way and things but still this all done by the Saudi Professional league team because they were looking for good fan base in South America and after Messi he was only player who can bring something positive, but this never happen, and now we have termination of the contract between them with most chances he will carry over his career as Brazilian player because in future no club will try to have him with his all negativity and problems which are not acceptable for anyone.

He's out for couple or months, really bad news for the brazilian. Neymar Jr is my favorite player when it comes to dribbling, he's keen on making good impact in a club he plays for. Despite picking crucial injuries in matches, he don't care but stick to playing his own style of football, dribbling and playing for fun and entertaining his fans, I always enjoyed game whenever I'm watching Neymar Jr, he's very good with footing on the ball. Al Hilal made one of the big mistakes when they decided to sign one of the finest PSG player knowing fully that he's vulnerability to injury is high, more higher than expected.

Best thing happening as Al Ittihad and Karim Benzema both are not creating any problem for each through media and trying to settle this all with their limits even as mentioned nothing is officially what is happening around there but still most chances he will complete his tenure, and then we will have him in any other league if things will be not ended as he wants there were rumours about few other players as well but mostly are not appearing in media, and they are trying to settle this all without any trouble and hype Henderson already gone to Ajax which is also good development because this all happens with mutual understanding.

Many new players are also joining and in coming summer we are expecting few more will join even currently many are facing problems due to culture and conditions but as organizers are working hopefully all will be settled and this league will be work as it's going right now and having their organizer's long run strategy about this all.

You're right. His experience the same thing as Maradona ever experienced. He often becomes the target because the opponents hated him. He has a great skill in dribbling the ball, the opponent players will do everything to stop him. It makes sense if the opponent players will try to hurt him, it will drop the performance of Liverpool.

It is true. Al Hilal is unbeaten, they look very convincing. There is no other team in SPL played as well as Al Hilal. Sure, it won't be a problem of Al Hilal will have no Neymar. Al Hilal can prove they perform very well without Neymar. Another player may more deserve to play than Neymar. It also can make the team to play not rely on the team.

I can't imagine whether it would be a big loss or not, about Al Hilal to recruit Neymar because ya, Neymar only played a few times because Neymar also seemed to take a big risk playing for the Brazilian national team and then suffered a long injury . But atleast, fortunately, Al Hilal is still very strong at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings this season and also, Al Hilal still has a big chance of getting the trophy . Therefore, I can't imagine whether recruiting Neymar is a big loss or not because at the same time Al Hilal is still having a very good performance this season.

A lot of reports have been found in the media recently about Karim Benzema and a possible move away from his current club Al Ittihad but what I've actually not understood about the whole matter is the reason behind his decision to leave the club this winter transfer window. It's been reported that he's not been training with the rest of the club's players in recent weeks but I haven't read about the reason behind his refusal to train with the team. When it comes to football, Karim Benzema is a big name and that's because of what he was able to achieve in his career as a professional footballer. During his days as a Real Madrid player, the former France forward was able to win the UEFA Champions League trophy on five different occasions as well as winning the Balon D'or in before his move to Al Ittihad last summer.

I believe the management of Al Ittihad are currently trying to settle whatever the issue might be with the player and we're expecting them to release a statement soon about the future of the player but I believe that they'll definitely want to keep the player at the club. Hopefully for the two parties, they come to resolvable terms

Neymar head was never 100% in football like 90% of the brazilians players, but right now i think he have 20% of his head in play football and only for fun, he is full in streaming or other business of him like the cruise of him in Brazil itself.

For that his recovery is lasting longer than ever.

Currently, Benzema is still registered as an Al Ittihad player. but if I refer to Romano's report, more meetings will be held soon to discuss Karim Benzema's future. however, the situation remains tense at Al Ittihad. The SPL boss still wants Karin Benzema to stay in Saudi, even joining another Saudi club. returning to Europe was only possible with a major pay cut. Well, so far there is no certainty about Karim Bezema's future, especially if Romano reports that there will be many meetings to determine his future.

Let's just say that if Benzema eventually returns to the European League, that means Al Ittihad must immediately find a replacement and at the same time improve the team's strength if the club management wants Al Ittihad's performance and improvement. At least they have to do something so that their team doesn't get worse, because Benzema's departure could have an impact on the team's mentality as a whole. In fact, Al Hilal must make changes not only in the defense line. but in some sectors, like the Al Nassr or Al Hilal squad. Al Ittihad winger, cannot be relied on much, especially in helping Benzema score goals. Apart from that, Al Ittihad is not only satisfied with Ngolo Kante and Fabinho. At least, they have to bring in one more reliable additional player. But I'm not sure if Al Ittihad will make major changes except next summer. Well, let's see what developments come next. After all, there is still time to prepare and change whether there is or without Benzema.

Well actually the thing that is a problem is this, I mean a lot of people associate Cristiano Ronaldo, yes he is in the Al Nassr squad but still Al Nassr is not at the top of the table, and is even now behind. I am strange with people who have thoughts like this, because in my opinion with the presence or absence of Ronaldo the position of the club is determined by the team itself not determined by an individual person.
I understand maybe because Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world that most people have high expectations of him. But again that has nothing to do with it, because they are a team. Looking at the individual he can actually make a big contribution to the team, it is proven by the goals he has created. Moreover, we know that they have problems in defense which is not Ronaldo's position.

So, are you still hoping him to come back? Al hilal doesn't need him and he has been excluded from the squad too. Neymar cannot play this season coz his bad attitude was making the management was so mad at him. I would rather suggest al hilal to get a new winger who can replace him. The worst thing being made by al hilal to recruit neymar from PSG which is being so wasteful transfer. He can't even show his respect to the al hilal. It will be so pointless in waiting him to change his attitude toward the club.


The key is SELFISH and i totally agree with it. Despite the fact that he has been receiving a significant amount of money by signing the contract with Al Hilal, it is evident that he lacks genuine concern for the club. The club still fine without him.
I hope he will never ever comeback to the club again. Al Hilal should avoid recruiting a toxic guy to disrupt the current team. neymar will be only disturbing the club to get saudi pro league trophy.

The current squad is very good. Al hilal needs only to find a back up for mitrovic like you said above. This must be the main problem needs to be sorted out.

Well Neymar to Al Hilal was a big window transfer for many functions such as helping the team gain success and also building up on the team’s online presence. Neymar is out with injury already and this might not be realistic because he’s not on pitch to get the fans to watch him play lest they’re not getting that market audience they needed with his signing. Hopefully he'll recover quickly and get back on the pitch.

 Well his signing had it’s own bargain and I think they gave Neymar the upper hand in this signing. This has led to him being selfish and jus focusing on the money he’s getting from them and nothing else. Well I don’t think the club is disturbed by his absence, rather they want to offload him and bring in another European star who’ll help in building squad depth should incase Mitrovic falls out of injury. They don’t want to loose out on the league.

After Neymar joined Al Hilal, the team was enjoying a comfortable and well-run game and any match with any team would be filled with massive betting competition. Neymar is currently injured due to which the Al Hilal team looks alarming but the current Al Hilal team is very strong. While Neymar has been a typically European player in the past, his run rate has been greatly reduced due to major injuries in recent years. As a powerful star, Neymar has gone down a lot these days and his performance is now very weak.

Al-Hilal did not take that into account at all and the most important thing for them was to be able to get more exposure by bringing in Neymar. But what is happening now is very detrimental for Al-Hilal because its star player cannot strengthen the team and cannot even become a pivot in promoting the team to a wider reach. Apart from playing at Al-Hilal, Neymar's other function is to be able to get more attention from marketing to advertising, but this cannot be realized if Neymar is still injured.

Indeed, there is something quite strange and it seems as if Neymar's power is stronger here than the team that brought him and he can just choose which team he should play for and at that time Neymar chose the Brazilian national team. Here it is clear that Neymar only cares about the money Al-Hilal gave him and doesn't want to know how Al-Hilal suffered losses because he brought him in. I think Neymar is quite selfish and his considerations are always painful for Al-Hilal.

We certainly hope that Al-Hilal will not be disturbed by Neymar's absence and their current focus is clearly on winning the Saudi league and considering that their distance advantage is still too far from a team like Al-Nassr, they must prioritize their work first rather than dealing with Neymar who is not the role is so clear.

And in my opinion, Al Hilal must already know that this player has a history of frequent injuries and it is recorded that he has suffered 16 injuries in the last 7 seasons. This should have been taken into consideration by the club that recruited him because the quality of his performance has definitely decreased even though this player was a top player at first, he has been given good facilities for Al Hilal since he was in Saudi but he is still determined to defend his country, there is no prohibition for players to continue defending their country but sometimes national competitions can have a bad impact on important players and we often hear that many important players have suffered injuries while defending their country and Al Hilal's worries really happened to Neymar.

Even though they experienced quite a big financial loss because Neymar was injured, currently Al Hilal's condition is still fine and still firmly at the top of the standings so Neymar also feels calm because his club has no problems even though he is not there because basically Al Hilal is also a club. strongest in the Saudi league before Neymar. Yes, at least by bringing in Neymar Jr it can increase the popularity of the Saudi league and Al Hilal is also not free from this popularity apart from Al Nassr which has Ronaldo.

I believe that initially Al Hilal's intention to bring Neymar to his club was to get a complete package. Namely to increase the team's popularity and be able to sharpen the attack line. Actually, if we talk about popularity after Neymar arrived, Al Hilal has got it. Because I still remember, at that time the name Al Hilal was in the spotlight of football fans all over the world.
However, to sharpen his attack line, Neymar has not shown good performance in several matches with Al Hilal. Because at that time Neymar most likely had not adapted well, so his performance when playing at Al Hilal was not optimal. Moreover, Neymar was just recovering from his injury at that time. So it is certain that physically, mentally and skills are still not completely good.

So when Neymar was playing with the Brazilian national team and suffered an injury against Uruguay, actually at that time Neymar was starting to get used to the football atmosphere in Saudi Arabia. But unfortunately because he did not obey Al Hilal's words, he has been affected to this day.

And when talking about the financial losses experienced by Al Hilal as a result of Neymar's injury. I think this is indeed detrimental for Al Hilal. But fortunately all of that was cured by the presence of Mitrovic who was able to surprise Al Hilal with his neat performance. So basically Al Hilal made the right move by signing two striker players last season.

Well, the two matches that Al-Ittihad will play are two matches that are easy to finish with win and of course Al-Ittihad have to start learning how to play again without relying too much on Benzema.
Moreover, if Benzema will really leave Al-Ittihad then it is clear that they will inevitably have to be able to adapt to having good performance without this one star player, it just not clear whether Benzema will really leave Al-Ittihad or not.
As long as Al-Ittihad has much better defensive performance then they will still be able to win because the front line without Benzema can still be said to be quite good.
Al-Ittihad always experience defeat because their defense line is very weak and they have to prioritize defensive strategy to be able to improve perfection in their playing formation.
If Al-Ittihad can have strong defense then I sure that they will be able to minimize the chances of defeat and at least be able to get win and various points with draw, this is much better than just suffering defeat.

I sure that Al-Ittihad will be able to play well in the second half when it starts and I believe that Al-Ittihad actually has quite big potential to be able to dominate the SPL and become one of the strongest team.
