Currently, Neymar will absent until this season ended and Al Hilal have show their best perform and defending top position without Neymar. I don't think problem for Al Hilal leaves by Neymar because on few early matches they don't have Neymar in squad and I think they will find right replacement for Neymar position. Al Hilal have top standings behind four points remaining with Al Nassr and last match on King Cup of Champion success defeated Al Hazm 3-0 with goals contribution from Ruben Neves and Alexander Mitrovic.
Al Hilal keep in the top perform without Neymar and I believe Malcom, Ruben Neves and Mitrovic will give more effort to help Al Hilal keep on the top position. Al Hilal keep in the unbeaten record in domestic league with playing 11 matches and I think have Neymar or not they can defend good result in domestic league and AFC Champion League.
Especially after Aleksandar Mitrovic was brought in by Al Hilal, this team has a complete squad. as far as I can remember, Al Hilal had not yet brought in Mitrovic. Jorge Jesus often rotates his players plus patterns and systems. Not infrequently, Malcom is often rotated as a center forward. Now, Al Hilal has competitive players even though one of them, Neymar, has been injured for a certain period of time.
However, even without Neymar, the combination of Al Hilal's players and the rotations carried out by the coach have meant that Al Hilal has so far remained consistent. although, 2 of the 11 matches they played resulted in a draw. but what is certain is that they are now in first place in the Saudi Pro League standings, with a difference of 4 points from Al Nassr.
Just imagine, especially if Neymar didn't get injured. Al Hilal will be much sharper on the front lines. in fact, the coach can rotate and have options for several players at his disposal. in the King's Cup league, Al Hilal overthrew Al Hazem. Next, will there be another draw? or, Al Hilal will meet Al Faisaly. If so, on paper it will be easy for Al Hilal to overthrow Al Faisaly. then, uniquely, their next opponent will be Al Ittihad or Al Nassr. as I said, if that is the case. We can be sure that the fight will present an interesting, exciting and prestigious fight. For the Saudi Pro League, so far Jorge Santos has been able to keep his team at the top even without Neymar. and I think they will continue their positive trend with victory after victory in league competitions in the next few weeks.
