Brazilian star Neymar, a player for the Saudi Al-Hilal Club, expressed his great admiration for the remarkable development witnessed by the Saudi League, stressing that it has now become better than the French League in which he previously played.
The statements come in a related context with previous statements by Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, a player for Al-Nasr Club, who confirmed that the Saudi League has also become stronger than the French League.
Neymar said in a statement to the media, “I agree with Ronaldo, the level of the Saudi League is rising significantly, and I think it is currently better than the French League.”
He also added, “The French League is a strong league and I know it well because I played there, but the players in the Saudi League are better today.”
Neymar continued that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia surprised him positively, pointing out that the large investments in the football sector and the interest in strengthening the infrastructure and attracting international stars contributed to raising the level of competition and making the Saudi League one of the strongest leagues in the world.
Neymar, who wore the Paris Saint-Germain shirt for 6 years, is preparing to return and participate with Al-Hilal after recovering from his injury, but he is waiting first to be registered locally so that he does not complete the season only in the AFC Champions League for the elite.
