As Neymar Jr. broke his goal drought for the Riyadh-based club, the anticipation among the fans is finally over. Nevertheless, Al-Hilal’s boss and head coach aims to bring Neymar to his best form again.

Al-Hilal boss prioritizes Neymar Jr’s match readiness

Following Neymar’s delayed debut due to injury concerns, Al-Hilal’s coach, Jorge Jesus, expressed his satisfaction with the Brazilian’s performance and indicated his commitment to Neymar’s development. Speaking after Al-Hilal’s AFC Champions League victory, Jesus praised Neymar’s performance and stated that he is improving in every match. “Neymar is improving in every match. I am trying to play him as many minutes as possible to regain his readiness,” the Al-Hilal boss said.

Neymar’s road to full match fitness had been hampered by his recent injury setbacks. However, with each match, he is gradually returning to peak condition. Jorge Jesus is determined to aid Neymar in reaching 100% match readiness, and this milestone goal for the Brazilian seems like a significant step.

Neymar Jr.’s goal not only secured Al-Hilal’s victory but also marked his first goal in his fifth appearance for the club.
