Well.. I agree that the other players are performing really well. But the point is that Al Hilal spent a huge amount of money on Neymar and he is going to miss the initial phase of this season of the Saudi Professional League. They may or may not perform well without Neymar, but the management is not going to be very happy with the situation. But then, we can't predict the injury scenarios. It can happen to anyone, given the increased workload athletes have to deal with these days. On top of that, Neymar is no longer young. He is already 31 years of age.

Neymar will be useful in the long run as it will be a short-term absence. Considering that other forwards are of good quality during this waiting period, the absence of Neymar will not cause major problems. Neymar will certainly add strength to Al Hilal when he joins the team. The evolution of the Saudi league is spectacular.

It is going to be frustrating for Al Hilal. They paid a large sum to bring Neymar to Saudi Arabia and still they need to wait for one month more to see him in action. And this season of Saudi Professional League is already underway. Absence of Neymar is going to disrupt their team balance and put increasing workload on other forwards such as Aleksandar Mitrović, Malcom, Michael and Abdullah Al-Hamdan. Last year they finished at the 3rd place, and this time they want to win trophy at any cost. But Neymar's absence is going to have a large negative impact.

It sucks that any club owns him. PSG was indeed wise to sell him to Al Hilal quickly. In addition to paying a fee of 90 million euros for PSG, Al Hilal also offered a massive salary of 260 million euros for a two-year contract with him. Not a small amount. Neymar hasn't trained yet, and I see no reason for him to focus on Brazil. Al Hilal will feel unhappy about this. Although he is recovering from his injury, no one has said he will not be injured again if the damage continues. Then, most likely, the situation will get worse. The worst thing is not being able to play anymore.

@marcous the coach has indeed confirmed his debut will be in September and on top of that since he’s been called by the Brazil coach it shows that he’ll recover by September and once he does I expect him to score lots of goals as this league is easier than the Ligue 1. Also I don’t expect him to be injured much here as the demands of this league is less hence I believe that he’ll be able to maintain his fitness and help his team win many matches.

Neymar still has an injury that hasn't been completely resolved and if Al Hilal wants to get Neymar's best skills or performance in every match at least wait until his injury can completely recover without the slightest problem, this is one of the reasons why PSG released Neymar so badly because he's been out of games more often due to injuries he's had every season.

When Neymar recovers and can play well I'm sure he can make a good contribution to Al Hilal on the front lines, because Neymar is a football star who has very good ball carrying skills and he is one of the players who is very skilled and agile in possession or carrying the ball past the opponent's defense.

When I saw the news I was surprised as well because Hakim Ziyech injuries doesn't prevent him from playing but just that he doesn't get starting call up and that could be because he hasn't giving the managers enough reasons to start him but occasion he gets sub on and puts on a good performance but Neymar injury doesn't allow him to play so why then does Neymar pass the medical but Hakim Ziyech doesn't pass. I think what's happening here is the case of one player getting the fame privilege because Neymar will bring more money and fame to the league similar to Ronaldo as he's a global stars and from a country (Brazil) that has lost of football fans and he's one of the favorite but Hakim Ziyech is just an average European player from Africa so he doesn't get any favoritism.


The rumors are true because you can't have an experience player on your side and not expect him to always bail the club out of problem especially when that's what his reputation is built on and also receiving the kind of special treatment and salary they're receiving. Other teammates will expect the extra effort from them but they're humans and can't deliver every game as they're now old and not as young as when they were dominating Europe. The coach has to try another formation and bring on players that are hungry to pay and not those feeling it isn't their job to go the extra miles for the team. Al Nassr losing is a bad publicity for the branding of Ronaldo and something has to be done to improve the squad of Al Nassr, I don't think they're very active in the transfer window like other Saudi clubs.

I am guessing that it is going to take a few more games until they all adjust, plus the manager is a new one as well as far as I can remember, so even the players that used to be there last year will end up with some trouble. I think the fact that they won the cup is definitely a big deal, a big story to talk about, but looking at their current situation I would have to say they do not look like a good team at the league.

If it's a new game and new players, it's new season for other teams they lose to as well and they still managed to win. Adjustment period is true and they will play better that's true, but other teams had adjustment periods as well. Lets wait, if they are still not good a month later, then it's going to be horrible.

Hahahaha yes this its one big thing to follow about Neymar, are we gonna see so much partys, and excuse of injury he is gonna make? I think yes and i also think this its not gonna end well between him and the jeques from Saudi Arabia.

If he was undiscipline in europe imagine here.

It could be that the recovery period for Neymar injury went fast, or there is a possibility that the club is trying to quell the disappointment of fans seeing that Neymar's debut took too long. I also read the news that Neymar has also been called up by the Brazilian national team for the World Cup qualifiers in September. Coach Al Hilal said that he was surprised by Neymar's summons to the national team, because for now as far as he knows Neymar is recovering.

So far Neymar has been sidelined for more than six months, I doubt Neymar will be able to recover in the next month if I see Coach Al Hilal reaction.

According to news from Fabrizio Romano, after Piotr Zieliński didn't reach an agreement with Al Ahli. Now this Saudi team is trying to hire another player and their next target is Rodrigo De Paul, the player of Atletico Madrid who has an effective role in this team.
Three years ago Atletico Madrid spent 40m for hiring this player from Udinese and he didn't have a good performance at the start of his contract with Atletico Madrid but right now he is one of the most important players in this team and that's why Atletico Madrid didn't accept the offer as we were expecting.

Obviously, that ankle injury is a difficult injury to recover from. So it is not surprising, if Neymar is very often injured in that area. Playing in the Saudi Pro League, then maybe Neymar can play with a longer time, considering maybe the game in the Saudi pro league is not as hard as in Europe.

But somehow, I feel there is something that seems unfair about Neymar and Ziyech. Because from the information circulating before that, Ziyech failed to join the Saudi Pro League club because Ziyech was proven to have an injury or did not pass the medical. Meanwhile, Ziyech can still play normally in every match, and that is different from Neymar who is clearly injured and cannot even be included in the squad. But strangely, why Neymar can still join the club in the Saudi Pro League which in fact, Neymar also still cannot be played, while for Ziyech it is a rejection.

Neymar Jr is one of the most skilled player in the present age of football, his type is really rared. Unfortunately for the Brazilian, he have encounter critical challenges in his football career, which is injuries. The main reason behind his exits from Parc des Princes stadium this summer, the parisians started laying complaints about his inconsistencies in league games and severe injuries which greatly affected his performance negatively. However he moved to Saudi side, where he will gain regular playtime but he's currently injured and won't be available for games until he is healed.

I didn't say that others don't respect Ronaldo. I said that Ronaldo has issues to show respect to others because his ego stands in the way. It is a burden for him to name other players that can actually compete with him. He avoids at all cost to name players that are obviously very very good players besides him.

And when you say that he knows how to motivate his teammates, I think a lot of them are sick of him by now. The whole drama at Manchester United was so annoying for most of his teammates and there have also been rumors that the national team doesn't exactly like him very much as a person. His arrogance is sky high. If it happens on an exceptional basis, ok, but he is arrogant at his core. That's why Saudi fans are chanting Messi's name.

Yes, unfortunately Neymar injury make his career not good at PSG. I heard in local media he will be available in September, but if you are saying is true he will be available in December that is very bad. Although maybe Al Hilal doesn't mind his injury but Al Hilal really needs the services of a striker at least to race for the title, it would be very disappointing if he only played half a season.

The Saudi Arabia tournament doesn't excite me, even though they already have a lot of top stars. I only watch football news about this tournament. This tournament did not convince the fans. Maybe they should invest more in the quality of the game instead of taking the first step of promoting the game.
They need good tactical coaches, and they need players with good fitness. Fans of this kind of sport must see beautiful performances, Fierce Confrontations. It's not as simple as they are doing. Saudi Arabia needs more investment.

Neymar Jr is known for injury, which has affected his career in general. Signing Neymar to Al hilal with injury is not good one ,but I think the club is aware of the condition before signing him. When he returns the club will be glad.
He made a good sale for the club in the club representation, the club has made money from the jersey sales, and more of benefit.

Neymar is often injured, if you read his injury history while at PSG, it can be concluded that his performance is almost balanced with the time off due to injury. In terms of skill, no one doubts this Brazilian National Team player, but Neymar was unable to make a maximum contribution throughout the season. I think this was also a factor for Luis Enrique no longer keeping him from leaving PSG, the club had to bear a huge salary burden, but didn't get what it needed to the fullest.

Al Hilal is proof that Neymar, who is paid handsomely, cannot make any contribution. Reportedly Neymar injury until December, doesn't this take half a season. But Al Hilal doesn't care about that I think, what is important for them at the moment is the big names of the players.

Even though Al-Nassr has a pretty good goalkeeper, namely Nawaf Alaqidi and even though he is only a temporary replacement for Ospina who is still injured, he has also proven his capacity so far. But indeed Al-Nassr's defense is so weak and they are also often easy to find loopholes, which is what makes it easier for opponents to break into Al-Nassr's goal. There is already Alex Telles and now there will be Aymeric Laporte and I think they still need a player who plays as a central midfielder. Seko Fofana, who previously joined Al-Nassr, is a central midfielder and even though he has a very tall stature, he is not too optimal to fill in as a defensive midfielder.

Injury is a normal thing that happens to every player regardless of their activities outside the game, but we know that in every player transfer there will be a medical test if the player is a big risk then the club will not sign him like what happened to Hakim Ziyech so if we compare Neymar and Ziyech, Neymar still deserves to continue the contract besides the injury is not too risky so it is expected he can play in the near week. It would be better to wait for him to be really ready than forcing himself to play but in an unprepared condition especially the fans have been waiting for the action in the first match of course they don't want to see a bad impression in that first match.

By the way, did anyone watch the welcome of Neymar and the other players last Saturday? I watched it on YouTube I must say it was one of the most memorable welcomes, I know they want to emulate what Al Nassr did when they welcomed Ronaldo and it's really awesome. To this day I see the local news continues to publish news about this it even made headlines in sports news. The most important thing is that the competition between players must be more interesting than this welcoming event however the expectations of Al Hilal fans are so high on Neymar.
