Former Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has fired a dig at the French league after making the switch to the Saudi Pro League last month.
The Brazilian ended his six-year stint with the Paris outfit after completing a move to Al-Hilal, joining a number of other high-profile footballers to leave Europe for Saudi Arabia.
Neymar feels with some big names moving to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Pro League might be better than the French top-flight.Marca.“The training pace is intense, the thirst to win is great. I want to win titles with Al-Hilal. “Nothing changes in my head. People say that the championship is not known, that it is weak… everyone said that when I went to the French championship and it was the place where I suffered the most in.
“It’s not going to be easy to win the Saudi championship because there are other teams that have gotten stronger, there are well-known players and I’m sure it’s going to be a very interesting league and that you’re going to see it."
