It is clear that Al Hilal is not ready to compromise on performance. The club has been on and off the hook this season, with results going either way. They have signed new players who are still adapting to their environment. Their main signing, Neymar, has been the main center of focus. However, a journalist pointed out that the coach is not using an important player of the squad in the right way.
In competition with Al Nassr, Al Hilal went into an immediate market war to sign the best players. The two teams got the meat of European markets, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar at the forefront.

Al Hilal signed a few diverse players like Aleksandar Mitrovic, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The team has started well by staying on top of the league for a few weeks. But the coach, Jorge Jesus, came under the pump recently for results. Adding to it, a journalist recently said that the coach is not using midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to his strengths.
A journalist named Abdulmalik Al-Dayan has stated, “I am responsible for my words. Savic is the most dangerous player in the world in numbers without exaggeration! If he played his true roles with Al Hilal, he would ruin the league, but asking him to build an attack and come back is unfair to him.”

انا مسؤول عن كلامي سافيتش هو اخطر لاعب في العالم "بالزيادة العددية" بدون مبالغة!
لو لعب ادواره الحقيقية مع الهلال راح يخرب الدوري ، لكن تطلب منه يبني هجمة ويرجع ورا هذا ظلم له https://t.co/d3vq6P9ZTM pic.twitter.com/MlBstNFJMe

After Neymar’s goalless games, the fans have accused the coach of putting restrictions on the forward. And now Abdulmalik is blaming him for playing the Serbian out of his positions and roles. There were talks going on about a potential rift between Jorge Jesus and Neymar earlier, which the Brazilian denied.
But in this case, the journalist has blamed the Portuguese coach for adding an unnecessary burden to the midfielder. Abdulmalik said that Milinkovic-Savic is playing, building the attack, and taking care of the defense, which can be unfair and unproductive.
Sergej is the most threatening player, says Abdulmalik

We have seen dominance from Serbia in the world of sports, with Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokic making it big in tennis and basketball, respectively. However, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is also in a league of his own. Abdulmalik also felt that the player is the most dangerous in the world if given the correct role. The 6 feet 4-inch star could also destroy the league with his ability, says Abdulmalik.
Milinkovic-Savic has strong one-on-one dual winning and passing abilities. The player joined after a successful stint at Lazio for a $44 million deal. Al Hilal will compete with some top teams this upcoming season. The team would expect their top players to be at their best.
