Al Hilal is experiencing a change in fortunes after consecutive wins in their fixture. Neymar and his teammates contributed positively to improve in every forefront of the club. On this note, a Saudi veteran expressed his interest in joining Al Zaeem if given the opportunity to continue his career after retirement.

Riyadh’s most influential soccer star played in various Saudi clubs in his career, excluding Al Hilal. The 35-year-old icon was well informed of the Blue Waves’ recent success in various competitions. Consequently, he highly remarked the Neymar’s side and entertained the hypothetical idea of joining them following his retirement.

What did the Saudi legend remark about Al Hilal?

Nayef Hazazi hanged his boots in 2020 but has not lost his enthusiasm to step onto the field at any given time. The Saudi legend made headlines as a commercial star for brands like Nike and Red Bull in the Middle East during his career. He was throned as Riyadh’s “most popular footballer” and received recognition for his charitable endeavors. Meanwhile, the Al Nassr legend regarded Al Hilal as the ideal club for him to continue playing after retiring from his emphatic career.

Nayef Hazazi wittily remarked in an interview, “If I went back to playing again and had a choice, I would choose to play for Al Hilal”. Al Zaem has bolstered their squad with renowned European stars and ripped results in the Saudi Pro League with their performances. It’s highly unlike that the former Al Ittihad forward would resume his professional career after retirement. However, Hazazi’s inclination for Al Hilal is comprehensible due to their prominent position in the soccer landscape of Saudi Arabia.
