Hard blow for Neymar, who was injured again in his second appearance after being out for just over a year.. The Brazilian was barely able to play half an hour in the second half before a problem in his right thigh forced him to leave the field before finishing the game. He came onto the field in the 58th minute and was substituted in the 87th minute. Until that moment everything was happiness for Al Hilal, an unstoppable team. In Arabia and in the Asian Champions League, where they beat the Iranians from Esteghlal with little difficulty. A victory that was signed by Aleksandar Mitrovic with a hat-trick and in which Neymar left some sparkles until his injury.
Located behind Mitrovic, Neymar showed up wanting to be the protagonist. He claimed the ball, challenged his rivals and tested his patience, either trying a fantasy dribble or with a hat cheered by the crowd as a goal. He took fouls, teamed up with his teammates, filtered passes capable of ruining any defense and looked for his goal until an injury forced him to leave the field before finishing the match.
Neymar is in a decisive moment at this stage of his career, where The risk of falling downhill is as present as the possibility of a fleeting resurgence that illuminates the final stretch of its trajectory.. In Al Hilal you have an ecosystem conducive to recovering your good feelings. The club has top-level resources at its disposal and is surrounded by a handful of players who, without the generous contracts offered by the Saudi championship, would continue to show off their football in Europe.
Al Hilal has the best eleven in Arabia and, probably, in Asia. A fit Neymar would be the perfect complement for the team led by Jorge Jesúswhich has the mission of recovering the Brazilian for the cause. Winning the Asian Champions League is the club's great goal and with Neymar motivated and at a good level, the challenge seems more feasible.
By the time Neymar came out onto the field, almost everything was already ventilated.. In just over half an hour Mitrovic sentenced a duel with no more intrigue than seeing the minutes that the Brazilian would play and the goals that the Serbian would celebrate. He scored two goals in the first half, the second from a pass from a very inspired Renan Lodi, which was completed with the third in the second half.
