After Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar also criticized Ligue 1 for highlighting the Saudi Pro League. No wonder since the two stars have millions of reasons to make this comparison.
Ligue 1 really doesn't need such bad publicity. And even less from such popular players in the world. A few months after his first criticisms, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke again about the championship dominated by Paris Saint-Germain, and which would be inferior to the Saudi Pro League. The Al-Nassr striker has never played in France, unlike the former Parisian Neymar who confirmed the Portuguese's opinion.
Neymar does his job
But why this relentlessness? The reason is simple for journalist Adrien Mathieu: Saudi Arabia ensured their support by putting its hand in its pocket. “ Paid to the tune of 98 million euros per season, with a salary of 273,000 euros per day, the Brazilian is one of the best-off athletes on the planet.recalled our colleague from Point. In return, his Saudi club would have liked to see him play a little more often to benefit from his magic on the pitch. But, in the space of eighteen months, the striker only played seven matches, for a paltry total of four hundred and twenty-eight minutes on the pitch. »
« If we reduce this figure to his salary, each minute played by Neymar cost Al-Hilal 228,000 euros! The jackpot for one, an economic fiasco for the otherunderlined the journalist. (…) With such an excessive salary, it should not be surprising that Neymar defends the championship where he plays and takes the opportunity to tackle Ligue 1… Like Cristiano Ronaldo, the Brazilian felt that Saudi Arabia has nothing to envy the French championship and it would even have gone ahead today. A speech to try to reassure himself at a time when his second part of his career resembles a long way of the cross. » French football can therefore expect new free attacks.
