Despite not scoring a goal in his first match for his new club Al Hilal yesterday, Neymar Jnr was outstanding through the time he spent in the pitch. Before he was introduced in the 64th minute of that game, Al Hilal had only scored 2 goals but it was after he came in that they scored 4 more goals to finish the game with a 6:1 scoreline.
It's not all the time that attacking players does score goals even when their team is having a great performance and yesterday was probably one of those days for Neymar but at least he got an assist in that match.
He didn't only contribute to the game but he also showed that he has a good relationship with other players. He joined them in celebrating the goals and was seen having fun with other players. I feel that Neymar will have a memorable stay in Saudi Arabia if he is injury-free. Al Halal's next game will be against Navbahor in an AFC Champions League group-stage fixture. I hope the Brazilian all time highest goal scorer will get at least a goal.
Al Hilal capable of competing for SPL title without European players in the team. Al Hilal fans are happy to watch Neymar Jr making his debut for his new club and he made some stunning moves that resulted in goals contribution in their previous game, which they won 6-1 against Al Riyadh. A thrilling victory achieved, they move further to sits first on the table and they hope it remained like, consistent performance to grab the extensive measures of the game, not relenting, putting full concentration on everything that would push them to higher levels interms of league games and winning substantial titles.
Five wins and one draw in six games is a commendable statistic from Al Hilal. They are now one point above the defending champions Al Ittihad. Neymar didn't register his name in the score sheet but he made some impact on the game and even gave an assist. I thought he would take the penalty but he allowed Al-Dawsari to get a brace. Al Hilal deserved the win in the sense that they dominated the game and made Al-Riyadh look like an am, amateur club. If they continue like this, they will win the league and It will be wonderful to get a new SPL champion this season.
