The arrival of Neymar at Al-Hilal has generated great expectation and excitement among football fans in Saudi Arabia, but the Brazilian star seems to have landed in his new team with a controversy that is already making headlines in the media. After the Al Hilal match against Navbahor Namangan in the Asian Champions League (1-1), the former Santos, Barcelona, and PSG player became news, although not precisely for his performance on the field.
During the match, Neymar did not have his best day. Despite not scoring, his behavior on the field was not exemplary either. He ran the risk of being sent off and missed a goal opportunity that many would consider quite easy in the area. These factors, combined with the result, seem to have increased tension in the Al Hilal locker room.
