Despite Neymar’s injury which keeps him unavailable until the end of the season, Al-Hilal coach Jorge Jesus was full of praise for him.
The start of Neymar’s adventure at Al-Hilal took a difficult turn. Having appeared in just five matches since arriving in Saudi Arabia last August, the Brazilian striker ended the season due to a knee injury in October. Despite the short spell, club coach Joge Jesus has expressed his admiration for the 31-year-old’s exceptional talent.
“I had no luck with Neymar, I had never worked with him, we worked for a month and a half,” Jesus told Correio da Manhã newspaper. He’s an extraordinary player, really. We therefore lost offensive quality. »
The Portuguese technician also made a comparison between the former Parisian and Cristiano Ronaldo, the latter playing for Al-Nassr. “He’s an easy-going, gentle, understanding player,” said the 69-year-old. Life beyond football, I think unlike Ronaldo, Ronaldo is more passionate about football, Neymar is more passionate about other things, things that his private life offers him. As a player he is fabulous, as a man he positively surprised me on every level. »
Under contract until June 2025 with the Saudi Pro League resident, Neymar scored one goal and delivered 3 assists in 5 appearances with the Riyadh club.
