Neymar da Silva confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the important reasons that prompted him to accept Al Hilal's offer and go through a new experience in the Saudi League. In a video posted by the official accounts of Al-Hilal Club on social media, following the completion of his recent move to Al-Hilal Saudi Pro League, 31-year-old Brazilian forward Neymar has insisted a lot is owed to Portuguese legend and Al-Nassr forward Ronaldo, for his influence in the recent growth of football in Saudi Arabia. Neymar confirmed that the excitement in the Saudi League will be great when he plays against Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino, and Karim Benzema, who have recently joined the Saudi clubs Al-Nasr, Al-Ahly, and Al-Ittihad, indicating that the Brazilian fans will watch the Saudi League and will support Al-Hilal for his sake. Neymar had described Ronaldo in previous statements as a genius, given his performance on the field compared to players of the same age, pointing out that the Portuguese star is one of the 3 stars in football that he takes as his role model in dealing with aging, with Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Next November 30 will witness the date of the first upcoming confrontation between Neymar and Ronaldo in the Saudi League competitions. The Saudi League recently signed a group of football stars, such as Ronaldo, Senegalese Sadio Mane, Frenchmen Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante, Algerian Riyad Mahrez, Portuguese Robin Neves, Serbian Sergey Milinkovic-Savic, Senegalese Khalido Coulibaly, and his compatriot Malcolm.
