Neymar made a good debut, he contributed very well in the match. He made an assist in the match, in minute 83'. But he didn't play as a starter in the match, dude. He played as a substituted player, he replaced Michael in minute 64'. The coach didn't release him in the first half because Neymar just recovered from injured. The coach may minimized the risks for Neymar, he doesn't want Neymar to get injured again.
Well, it was a big winning, 6-1 is clearly nice result. Neymar seems to bring a new motivation for Al Hilal squad to play more offensively in the second half.
Neymar had some international matches for Brazil and he had long flights from Middle East to Latin America and back. Al Hilal did right things to keep him on bench and only used him a few minutes but did not let him start the match with their team. With all expensive costs they pay for Neymar, they must have wise strategy to protect the player from injuries and it's what they did in the match.
Neymar had good matches for Brazil then good debut for Al Hilal, he will help them to be stronger in attacking. As a Brazilian player who obsesses with beautiful, sexy football, he will contribute lot of magic moments for Al Hilal and makes Saudi Professional League more exciting.
Al Nassr's two straight losses have been a setback to the club. The Saudi League is now so competitive that losing a game can become a costly mistake. Losing two games has made the club currently occupy the sixth position.
Al Nassr had bad start in the season but this season is long enough for them to cover those early mistakes. They had great recent matches and if they can maintain this form, they will have chances to improve their rankings as other clubs sooner or later will lose points.
Their next game against Al-Ahli Saudi is so important because a win can make the club move to even second position depending on the results of other games. The game will not also be easy since Al-Ahli Saudi is also a quality club that has lost just one game this season.
That direct match between two competitors for Saudi Professional League is a big clash for those clubs and for the league too. Al Nassr can take advantage of this clash to beat Al Hilal and improve their position in the league race to its crown.
