The rest after this ad

The story started at two hundred miles per hour for Neymar at Al-Hilal, it is now moving backwards. Arriving this summer with great fanfare in Saudi Arabia in the wake of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté and Riyad Mahrez, the Brazilian had a dream debut against Al-Riyadh (6-1) ten days ago . Substitute at kick-off so as not to precipitate a new physical relapse, the former PSG player distinguished himself by being at the initiative of his team’s last 4 goals.

Yes, but when you hire the services of Neymar, you have to take everything: the roses and the thorns, in a way the risks that this entails. Three days later against Navbahor Namangan in the Asian Champions League, the Brazilian star hit the headlines for two reasons: his performance, which we can modestly describe as contrasting (32 lost balls), and his behavior on the pitch. Frustrated during the meeting, «Ney» had narrowly escaped the red card after deliberately shooting at an opponent who was on the ground.

Neymar is already demanding the head of his coach Jorge Jesus

And clearly, the former Barça star has not finished talking about her. In recent hours, the Italian channel Sport Italy as well as several Saudi media echo a desire that is, to say the least, daring by the Brazilian. According to certain indiscretions, the 31-year-old player simply asked for his coach’s head after this same meeting against the Uzbek club Navbahor Namangan. For its part, the Italian channel goes even further and reports a real clash between Neymar and his trainer Jorge Jesus in the locker room, who allegedly criticized his player for his deplorable attitude on the pitch. Following this, the club’s management would then have met Jorge Jesus’ agent in order to warn him of a possible termination of contract, in the event that the club’s results continued to be fluctuating.

Asked about his situation, the coach reacted by puffing out his chest at a press conference: “Al Hilal occupies first place in the championship (now 2nd, behind Al-Ittihad) without the slightest defeat. It’s crazy”, declared the Portuguese technician, before seeing his team being held by Damac the next day (1-1). Eager to see his former coach Tite be inducted into the head of the club according to information relayed by the Catalan media Sport, Neymar could therefore see his request echoed in the face of the weakening of Jesus’ status. Moreover, the latter did not summon the Brazilian for Al-Hilal’s meeting against Al-Jabalain this Monday… New proof that the rag is really burning between the two men?
