Neymar is going through a rough patch with a drop in form in his recent games. He has since faced backlash from pundits and critics for not performing up to his standards. The scrutiny became so intense that the player had an angry outburst on social media. If this was not enough for the Al Hilal fans, recently 3 Al Hilal players have been slapped with punishment for breaching a major protocol.

Neymar has always been under the radar of critics. The Brazilian is not new to media scrutiny. Even after breaking Pele’s 52-year-old record, the critics labeled it as undeserving. Ney’s recent angry outburst is not just a result of any particular event but has been built up over time.

Al Hilal fans are left baffled by the decision of punishment

Al Hilal’s match against Darmac in the Saudi Professional League has turned out to be an unlucky tie for the club. First, Neymar’s in-match video caught negative attraction on Instagram and now, there’s punishment levied on three of their players. Seems like not just Neymar but the whole club is going through a rough patch.

The Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has levied fines of $15,994 thousand in total, with Muhammad Jahfali, Habib Al Watyan, and Muhammad Al Qahtani each receiving a $5,331 thousand penalty.

The SAFF took this disciplinary action because the players entered the dressing room without being on the watch list during the Al-Hilal vs. Damac match. The SAFF has been strict in its rulings, previously imposing a fine of $3,998 thousand on Al Nassr as the players arrived late on the pitch at the start of the second half.

With so much happening inside the club and in a completely new environment, any player will take time to adjust. Ney is no different, constant scrutiny can get the better of any soccer player. The recent outburst over fake rumors though felt like a justified action.

Neymar asks fans to be respectful

In response to recent rumors circulating around Neymar and his Al-Hilal manager, the Brazilian superstar took to Instagram to set the record straight. He vehemently denied the speculations of his manager’s sacking, addressing the false allegations head-on. Ney used the platform to criticize the rampant spread of fake news that had fueled the baseless rumors.

Neymar expressed his unwavering determination to perform at his best under Jorge Jesus, showcasing his commitment to the club. The club has started well in the SPL this season as they remain undefeated. However, they are trailing behind Al-Ittihad by just a single point in the league table. Neymar’s call for respect and unity among the fans serves as a rallying cry for the team’s continued success on the field.

Al Hilal faces Al Shabab next on the road in the SPL. Al Shabab currently sits 11th in the SPL. With Neymar back to his fitness level, Jorge Jesus’s team can hope to dominate the game with their world-class talents.
