Al Hilal striker Neymar Jr. had to wipe away his tears while he was grievingly talking about the time he spent away from football action because of injury.
Neymar revealed the pain he had to go through during his 12-month spell away from football.
He said, “I felt huge pain. In that moment, I already knew it was serious. What I want most in life is to play football. I have suffered every day I’ve been away from the pitch. This is what hurts me the most.”
“I am focused on the most important people in my life, my family and friends, and football. I have risen every time I have been injured. But I don’t return halfway.”
The Brazilian all time highest goal scorer ended his European tenure in the 2023-24 season to secure a move to Saudi Arabia Pro League soccer to play for Al Hilal.
The Al Hilal side paid a stunning €90 million to bring the Brazilian to the Middle East. Neymar’s hope of continuing to impress the world in the Middle East was left short due to injury.
Neymar had a cruciate ligament tear during the October 2023 international break. The attacker has finally made full recovery and will be participating in first team action.
Also, Neymar will join the Al Hilal team ahead of the Asian Champions League trip to United Arab Emirates Pro League Club Al Ain.
Before he suffered the ligament tear, Neymar made five appearances for the Al Hilal side, scoring a goal and creating three assists in all club competitions.
Neymar’s return to the Al Hilal is a major boost for the Saudi Arabia Pro League giant. His pacy and dribbling abilities will contribute immensely to the success of the team this season.
