It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Brazilian ace Neymar since his move to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal. Last month Neymar became Brazil’s top scorer after eclipsing Brazilian soccer legend Pele’s record. This month he scored his debut goal for Al Hilal and just hours ago he welcomed a baby girl named Mavie with his partner Bruna Biancardi. However, Al Hilal’s next opponents have issued a warning just hours ahead of their SPL clash.

Neymar will not feature in the game following the birth of his newborn daughter so his team will have to look to win the game without the mercurial Brazilian ace. Al Hilal plays Al Akhdoud in their Saudi Pro League that is set to kick off in a few hours, and Al Hilal’s opponents have made a bold statement ahead of kick-off. This came from Al Akhdoud manager Jorge Mendonca. Here’s what the manager said…

As reported in the Saudi press in this tweet on X, Al Hilal’s boss rallied his team suggesting that they would “fight” against their opponents further calling it a “special day”. Speaking to the media ahead of their clash with Al Hilal, Al Akhdoud gaffer Jorge Mendonca said, “We will work to make this day special for us and we are well prepared to fight on the field against Al Hilal“

Meanwhile, Neymar will look to celebrate the birth of his 2nd child who was born yesterday, which comes shortly after breaking his goalless start to life in Saudi Arabia.

As we reported earlier, Neymar flew to Brazil on a 7,073-mile journey to reunite with his girlfriend Bruna Biancardi for her delivery. The couple also released a statement after Mavie was born, stating: “Our Mavie came to complete our lives. Welcome, daughter! You are already very loved by us… thank you for choosing us.”

This news comes shortly after Neymar finally opened his account for his new club Al Hilal. The Brazilian forward scored in the AFC Champions League in the Riyadh club’s 3-0 win over Nassaji. He even took to social media to thank his fans with a Biblical quote.

Nevertheless, his club career at Al Hilal aside, for now, Neymar will look to stay with his family and friends and celebrate the birth of his newborn child.
