believe it or not you may be surprised to hear but Neymar actually made his return two months ago now you may not be too aware of that this may be news to you and the reason why is because he got injured again the 21st of October was Neymar's return to the team after about literally to the day almost a year away 368 days since his last appearance against Uruguay where he got his ACL injury he returned and gaming as Al a I'm going to guess that's how you say it he returned in that game and
got subbed on in the 77th minute and he at least finished a game and he went on to win a game 54 in the end next up was about two weeks later at home to es gal FC in the AFC champions league he was on the bench again being subed done in the 58th minute and then played until the 87th until he got injured again this time it was a hamstring injury but it set as another reminder of he's probably finished with his career at this stage now In fairness to Neymar this is of of
course no fault of his own injuries happen to every single player and unfortunately it happened the worst time for him for this next step of his career in Saudi Arabia and for the Saudi Arabia fans and for the the PF I imagine over there spending the big money it's been a failure their big big money s signing of course Ronaldo's of course there but Neymar is there to be a big part of too for some sort of rivalry he's not even been involved Al out put had a post back in October saying that he's back
which he kind of was but not really so tell me down below in the comments your thoughts about Neymar and what is the next step in his career like subscribe and for the best football Prince made by myself maal designs. cuk use cod Neymar for 15 % off all items it has been 18 months since he first joined ell and since then he's made only seven appearances which was about 400 minutes for the club now since his hamstring injury there was a winter break and he did indeed play in a friendly only a week ago
which he did indeed score a goal and last night was a big game against al IAD in the kings cup it's a big game he was rumor to be back in the team and turns out he missed it again not because of his injury but due to an abdominal issue another injury and Neymar signing to Ala kind of sets as a as almost an example for what the league has been for the last 18 months a lot of Promise a lot of expectation and maybe this is the new rise of football in the Middle East
but it kind of hasn't worked out that way be genuinely honest with me right now when's the last time you watched a single game or even highlights of the Saudi pro league I think I watched I think a final like the highlights of it like I don't know last year I know that there's still a lot of people who supports uh Ronaldo um not a club I guess they support just the person so they may actually go and watch the games or at least watch the highlights but I don't think that is a vast majority
of people the novelty has kind of worn off now you can kind of tell because when you look on their Channel you just find that for literally any other team or player that isn't Ronaldo the views is just simply not there high lik between let's say there two normal teams for example etac and Khali got 5,000 views when aubameyang plays 14,000 views and Ronaldo does play for of course alir there's a massive boost of 450,000 views every other team that's not Ronaldo or our Hala or maybe our har gets about 5,000 1,000 2,000 views then
it it just leads to a massive just way in scale of actual interest in the league which is fine it's not a surprise of course but how long can this keep going in the second that Ronaldo eventually retires what's going to happen to the league now back to Neymar here he was gone for the entire year he comes back for about 30 minutes and he's already injured again and out for two three more months how long can this keep going he's on one 120 million a year and on top of the 80 million pound transfer
to PSG and he's already becoming a a forgotten man on many of the advertisements many of the Billboards advertised in the Saudi pro league his face isn't even there anywh he's no longer even advertised of course Ronaldo Benzema Riad mahrez are much more prominent for the push of course for the World Cup Neymar sending a 2-year contract he's been there for a year and a half he's got six months left the question is is he even going to given a new contract is there any point not really if he can't even play and he's not
really been committed to the Saudi project as much as others you seen many videos of Ronaldo advertising promoting the Saudi League all the time Neymar really hasn't so what happens with Neymar now there's four options here number one is that Al Hal would end up canceling his contract mutually at this time of the season so he has an availability to join a team of his choosing number two is that Neymar rejects that and simply sees out his contract when you're on that much money why wouldn't you which is probably the most likely option and then
comes the next options the teams that he will likely go to the wages that he's on is only a certain amount of clubs but I think he's got enough money now that I don't think he really needs a big contract anymore so next up probably teams that he would go for simply the love of the sport and playing the game or at least he would hope to with his age and of course with his injury record you would doubt many teams in Europe would really want him I doubt PSG or Man City or any team
with money would really be wanting to get him so I think his time for the European game is probably now over and of course I said that in my video about over two years ago so the options are really two things number one is obviously into Miami now he actually did come out with an interview making a quote saying that it would be incredible to reunite with his teammates Messi and Suarez having the legendary MSN combination at inter Miami feel feels like it's poetry like it's only meant to happen and this felt this does feel
like the most likely option Neymar with his dayus and his his lifestyle taking him to Miami and Living in America sounds like the dream to him if Neymar would actually stay professional stay committed and not you know drink too much part too much and eat too much food uh that's probably a different question and course with Suarez Messi busets Alba Beckham in charge you know they they've got that entire base there that he already knows I feel like that makes some more sense from the clubs or really let be honest the Saudi Pro leagues perspective
they would want to try to get as much as a Neymar as he can while he's still there if he can stay fit for June for the club World Cup when they're playing against let's say you know Ry Madrid in the groups that could be maybe their last chance of getting some kind of return from their investment into Neymar to really put um the Saudi pro league and out he out on the map and that could be huge for them at least from their perspective persective it's at least something compared to what they've got let's
be honest nothing really from Neymar for the last 18 months keep in mind he has scored one goal for the club right and they've spent God knows how much money on him since and there's also one awkward thing too because of the S pro League's rules and regulations they have a quarter of only maximum of eight foreign players playing in the in the club registered for the club games problem is they've already filled out those eight slots so it means that one of their players that's already there would have to come out and they've got
some pretty important players there Kola B Malcolm Lordi of course Alexander mitovich Canelo milinkovic Savage Ruben NES bua the goalkeeper so each player that they have are players that plays in the team so one of those has to come out for Neymar and it's not easy to understand who because he's not even guaranteed to even play cuz he's always injured but maybe he doesn't even need to play in the league maybe he can just play for the AFC champions league and so on and so forth maybe that won't be an issue so alongside in Miami
where going to go to well the next obvious choice back to Brazil and of course that would be likely an option to go back to Santos Neymar has always kept a relationship with Santos of course the place where he still held obviously like a hero and there's always been a link between him going back to Santos at some stage of his career he still of course has property there he still returns back to Santos in Brazil um on on occasion to go to games and to be involved with them and that Santos themselves have has
made him almost part of their social media strategy in 2019 Neymar did say as a quote for sure when I return to Brazil I will play for Santos again so it seems pretty obvious that this has been in writing he is still 52 so he's still not really like old old so you would imagine may still have one more Club in on him another two years or so in N Miami before he then goes to play for Santos when he's 34 something similar to what we saw with the likes of an adinho that went to
Mexico and so on so forth before he ended his career in Brazil when he knew that he was already past it I guess issue is the fact that Santas isn't particularly that great they they they aren't the same Santas as they used to be and they probably won't be competing for any real top titles anytime soon I know they may have some kind of investment if Neymar's there but how much would actually be given to improve the team it's hard to really tell granted the fact that he may not even be guaranteed to play and
if he is there may only be there for a year or so now Neymar has at times also mentioned the club flamingo in Brazil which may be a concern mainly because uh he may be hated by Santos forever if he Johns him this could be seen as sometime last year he was seen wearing a flamango shirt with his friend Gabriel Barbosa on the back actually going to a game against Flamingo V Gro as I said before my previous video you can't say that Neymar's had a poor koreo hasn't had a good career he's he's won
Champions Leagues he's brok a ton of records and when he has played he's got the best stats goals assist chances CR per minute in the entirety of Europe issue is that he's just never really fit enough to maintain that for an entire season other than back in 2013 14 16 you can say that he's never lived up to the promise because the promises of him has been simply to the ceiling people expected him to be better than Messi or Ronaldo that would never happen because those are absolute freaks of nature and are still doing it
now he was seen as the next great hope for Brazilian football to come through when ralo radinho kak raldo was almost past it if his career ends like this just just dribe her injuries it would be an enormous shame and that he can go out with a whimper and nothing else if there's one more part to his story that could be fantastic I would love to see that if that's at Santos or even maybe winning some silver worth ala just playing on the pitch something we would take that tell me your thoughts down below like
