Neymar, new signing of Al Hilal, compared the level of the Saudi Arabian league with that of France, where he played in the last six seasons.
"The ball is round, there is a goal. With the players who have arrived, I don't know if the Saudi league is not better than the French championship," Neymar said jokingly, comparing Saudi and French football, during a press conference with the Brazilian national team in the city of Belem.
Neymar, who has not yet made his debut with his new team, said that he is convinced that the Saudi league "will not be easy" because several important teams have reinforced themselves with renowned players, "it will be very interesting."
