Al Hilal gets ready to play again in the Asian Champions League.
Al Hilal gets ready to play again in the Asian Champions League.

Neymar Jr is one of the biggest stars playing in Saudi Arabia, surpassing everyone in popularity except Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr. Although Neymar Jr's start at Al Hilal has not been as expected, since he has not scored a goal and has missed two penalties, now the Brazilian has a unique opportunity to hit the table, in the Asian Champions League.

Al Hilal faces Nassaji, a team from Iran. Al Hilal are in Group D of the AFC Champions League, and the first match was a surprising draw against Mumbai City. For the same reason, Al Hilal is in third place, with a clear chance of placing first.

The aforementioned match will be held at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran, a venue that is one of the usual homes of the Iranian national team, and which has a capacity of more than 78,000 seats. In previous days, Persepolis from the same country received the visit of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, within the framework of date 1 of the competition, where the Portuguese and his teammates won a comfortable 2-0 on the 19th of September.

Just hours before the momentous duel, an image has gone viral on all social networks, in which you can see how a group of workers is adapting the playing field in an unorthodox way, Neymar himself in his account. X reacted to the particular moment and the local team leadership already spoke out about this situation.

 

The coach of the local team, Mehdi Rahmati, referred to the poor state of the playing field in the run-up to the match: "We are not responsible for the poor condition of the Azadi stadium field, we tried to improve it, but it was not like that," saying that he has no any interference in the state of the venue for the match.

Next commitment for Al Hilal:

In the Asian Champions League, Al Hilal will have to wait until Monday, October 23 to face Mumbai City FC again, where they will try to get revenge. In the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal will face Al-Okhdood on October 7.
