Neymar Junior, star of the Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal and the Brazilian national team, responded to his critics in an unconventional way. He posted three images of himself in the Al-Hilal jersey on his official account on the "X" platform, showing him undergoing rehabilitation training in preparation for the new season. The Brazilian player shared a message he had tattooed on his right thigh, stating: "People don't understand how obsessed I am with victories."
Neymar, 32 years old, is racing against time to be ready for the upcoming 2024/2025 season after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury he sustained in October 2023. This injury marred Neymar's first season with Al-Hilal, where he only scored one goal against the Iranian team Nassaji in the AFC Champions League. He missed out on representing Brazil in the Copa America due to this injury, having joined Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 for 90 million euros. The Brazilian star signed a two-year contract with Al-Hilal.
