Qahwaji talks about Al Hilal dispensing with Neymar
Khaled Qahwaji, the former Saudi national team star, spoke about Al Hilal dispensing with Brazilian star Neymar da Silva.
Press reports confirmed that the Al Hilal coach decided to exclude Neymar from the team’s roster until the winter registration period, with Renan Lodi continuing.
Kahveji said via “Dorina Ghare” program: “With regard to the issue of dispensing with Lodi and Neymar, if a name had to be dropped, I think that Lodi is the most appropriate option, because Al Hilal has Miteb Al Harbi, Yasser Al Shahrani, and Nasser Al Douri in the same position.”
He continued: “From my point of view, Al Hilal does not need to register Lodi, nor does Neymar. Last season, he played with 7 foreigners, and yet he achieved the league, and according to what I know, his readiness will take a long time.”
He added: “Al-Hilal is the best team, because of the harmony between the players and because of the technical capabilities of its players, and although the beginning is not ideal, it remains the best team.”
He concluded: “Last season, Al Hilal suffered from the same problem, but it started after the Al-Ittihad match, and at the end of the season, there was a decline in level, and it won some matches on penalty kicks, and I do not underestimate its right to win. It achieved all the local championships.” ".
