Without Neymar Al Hilal have shown their best strength last season and if he returns fit and joins the team at the start of this season of course that is quite good news. Fans are of course looking forward to Neymar's action on the field, but it's a shame that he often gets injured because when he recovered, it wasn't long before he was injured again. It may be true that Neymar's recruitment did not end as desired because he had frequent injuries which hampered him last season.

But Al-Hilal uses Neymar's big name very well for marketing purposes and this can still help the club's income even though Neymar has never played a match with Al-Hilal. I think there are positive and negative values ​​that can be taken from the Neymar incident and of course even though Al-Hilal is not strengthened by Neymar they are still as strong.

It's all because of the intelligence of coach Jorge Jesus who is known to be very cool in handling the Al-Hilal squad and wherever they step they always win. We can also see in the Saudi pro league Al-Hilal remains an undefeated team last season and it is possible that next season they will still maintain that record. Well, Neymar will only be a luxurious decoration owned by Al-Hilal and regardless of whether he plays or not because he is still injured, it will not change anything if Al-Hilal still dominates the league.

Yes, apart from Neymar, Saudi Al-Helal team has always performed well, currently every player in Al-Helal team is a great player. Al Helal team has remained an undefeated team since 2020 for until now the whole four seasons, George Jesus of Al Helal is really a great responsible course, because of his talent all the players of Al-Halal are so great now and this team is an undefeated team. Anyway, now Neymar is returning to the team, after 9 months of treatment, Neymar will returning his full fitness and play for the Al-Helal team. We may see this team as an undefeated team in the next season as well. And next season will be a great season.

You are right, since being brought in from PSG in 2023, Neymar has only played 3 times without scoring a goal so we can say that he did not contribute to Al-Hilal this season while the contract will end in 2025 well, we don't know what steps Al-Hilal will take next. So far we have not heard any rumors regarding this player even though we know that Al Hilal will definitely be harmed. To be honest, I almost forgot about this player because I haven't seen him play in a long time.

Paris Saint-Germain knows the raring of Neymar and had to let him go because he was unavailable to creates aides for them during important matches. Perhaps an SPL elite side, Al Hilal can do more without the contribution of the player. He's always keen on accomplishing his mission,  always taking heights, during his prime. But I'm afraid about his current position in the team. Neymar Jr is vulnerable to injuries and this is bad for the reputation and standard form of the Brazilian. He's been sidelined for months and this is probably bad news for Neymar Jr and his agent.

Neymar Jr is actually time to retire and he just forced himself to join any club to get money but ignored the future of the club that signed him at a high price without giving any contribution.
Sooner or later I am sure he will be released by Al Hilal if in the coming season he does not recover soon without giving something memorable to the club that has paid him a lot.
Neymar's glory days have begun to fade and that means Neymar has to think about his future to retire and be able to enjoy more time with his family even though mentally he still wants to be a football player but for me that will only make him suffer.

Neymar Jr is dormant player, still injured and have been sideline for months, not good for the club because they signed him from Paris Saint-Germain because he was the positioned player that would relieve pressure. Al Hilal don't depend on Neymar Jr for winning games and lifting trophies. They've in place, the expected squad to clean out the competitive race.

Al Hilal knew that the Brazilian player was injury-prone, yet they went ahead to sign him. It is assumed that the club had some other reasons for signing Neymar Jr. Publicity might be another major reason since the Saudi Professional League needed all the attention to compete with other major leagues. On the pitch, he has not contributed much; maybe his influence has brought some level of publicity to the league. Based on reports, Neymar might recover from his current knee injury by the end of this month. The club needs his skills and experience to continue its dominance of the Gulf League.

I don't think the current coach deserves to continue managing Al Nassr. It seems he can't make any improvement on the Al Nassr performance. Why Al Nassr doesn't try to hire a top European coach? There should be some European coaches who want to manage Al Nassr if Al Nassr wants to make an interesting offer. Al Ittihad already gives the example, they succeed to sign Laurent Blanc as a new coach. This attracts many European players to have an interest to join Al Ittihad.

Al Nassr already has an European coach. Luís Castro is a Portuguese and has managed big clubs in Europe, such as Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Porto, and also the Qatarian side Al-Duhail Sports Club. We shouldn't start criticizing him now since these games are just preparatory to the main league events.

Recently I heard a rumor regarding Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson moving to the Saudi Pro League, as it appears on transfermarkt.com 2 teams from Saudi Pro League interested in this goalkeeper Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr or maybe we could say it is in the negotiation stage, who will succeed in signing Ederson? Since last season I have said that Al-Nassr need a new goalkeeper from Europa to compete with Al-Hilal or at least improve their defenses otherwise they will remain under Al-Hilal.

I'm not saying Al-Ittihad is a bad team for Ederson but it would be perfect if he chose Al-Nassr as a team competing to win the title, so next we will wait to see which team will be the next target. Ederson current market value is 35 million and I think Al-Nassr wouldn't mind paying for it moreover, Ederson is still at a productive age 30 years.

Ronaldo still hasn't joining with Al Nassr because he still on vacation and Al Nassr so far has been through an several friendlies matches against several times but until now they haven't gets the winning results from those matches even the latest is Al Nassr have to lost with big scores against Portugal team FC Porto with the final scores 4-0 although Luis Castro was playing some of Al Nassr key players in that match such as Sadio Mane, Talisca, Otavinho and Brozović but the performance of Al Nassr in this match is compeletely messed up

Here is Al Nassr friendlies matches results during pre season tour below

Louletano 1 - 1 Al-Nassr
Portimonense 1 - 0 Al-Nassr
Porto 4 - 0 Al-Nassr

Scored 1 goal from 3 matches is poor statistics from Al Nassr considering their opponents such as Louletano and Portimonense is the teams from lower division of Portugal league which in the term of quality those teams certainly is below to Al Nassr and i know this is only friendlies matches but i think these results could be a warning for Al Nassr because until 3 matches they still haven't gets the winning results and conceded 5 goals

Seems from these results we can see the difference between Al Nassr with Ronaldo or without him because just like we see that Al Nassr without Ronaldo can't do anything even they looks difficult to scores goals and win besides that i can understand now why for transfer players Al Nassr focusing to gets defensive players because this was the main weakness of Al Nassr last season

Al Nassr getting smoked 4-0 by Porto ain't about Ronaldo taking a break. Even with Mane and Talisca, they looked lost. This ain't no preseason rust, this is a full-blown tactical meltdown

Al Nassr, you're spending big bucks on players, but what about the damn coach? You got world-class talent playing like amateurs. Take a page from Al Ittihad, bring in a European coach with some balls and brains. I'm talking Laurent Blanc level, someone who can turn this circus into a war machine

You need more than just fancy signings. You need a revolution on and off the field. Fix the coaching, fix the tactics, or kiss those trophies goodbye. Wake up before it's too late

To be honest, Neymar is now just a burden that Al Hilal has to bear, because they have to pay his salary even though he doesn't play. On the one hand, without Neymar's presence, they also have no problems and can even perform well, apart from that, there are personal problems between Neymar and the management which are certainly a pressure. Some time ago, Al Hilal expressed their annoyance at Neymar because this player was unable to maintain his condition, but this is something difficult because the player himself certainly does not want to experience this problem.

Even if Al Hilal wants to sell Neymar, I think it is quite difficult because of his condition. Other clubs will not take the risk of buying a player who is not in his best form or even injured. What Al Hilal can do now is wait for their player to recover and if they don't want to take any more risks, they must quickly sell him when there is an offer.

Neymar is not to blame for having such a serious injury, I think he would be more happy to be on the field than to undergo rehabilitation after such a serious injury. He will not be able to return to the game until this fall, and it is not clear how well he will be able to recover and how much time he will need to get back into shape. And his contract with Al-Hilal ends in 2025, so it is quite possible that he will not bring much benefit to the club and will not extend his contract.

It is true that one never wants to be injured. Moreover, due to the big injury he got, there are many doubts about his return to the field. Now the big challenge for him is to get on the field. Even if he can't play, there's no problem with him getting his fixed salary regularly. He has been sidelined for a long time due to injury and it is not certain when he will be able to play. There are also doubts about whether he will sign a new deal when his contract expires in 2025. But the Saudi League is trying its best to promote their league to the world. Moreover, they are hoping to keep some more players. Casemiro, Alison Baker, Kevin De Bruyne and many more. In the future, the league will gain more popularity than ever before.
