On August 15, Beijing time, authoritative journalist Romano announced that Neymar had passed the medical examination arranged by the Riyadh New Moon, and the transfer had been completed. It is reported that Neymar will join Riyadh Crescent for a transfer fee of 100 million euros, sign with the team until 2025, and Neymar will become the owner of Riyadh Crescent No. 10 shirt.
100 million euros! Saudi giants signed Neymar, the national football team is good, and the hope of hitting the 8.5 places in the World Cup is greatly increased. With Neymar in Riyadh New Moon, the Saudi champion's squad system is bound to undergo some changes, with Neymar's arrival sure to crowd out other players' playing time. Like stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Roberto Firmino, Neymar will be the absolute centerpiece of the Riyadh Crescent and will establish authority in the team.
What's more, Neymar is only 31 years old, his ability is still world-class, Riyadh Crescent will inevitably meet Neymar's various tactical requirements, the whole team revolves around him to play, how to make Neymar play comfortably, is the tactical focus of Riyadh Crescent.
Neymar is coming, Riyadh Crescent player Davasari, known as "Saudi Neymar", will have a hard time and will have to give Neymar a hand. Because Dawasaari, like Neymar, is also a right-footed player, mainly playing on the left wing and in the wing-forward position, he is a player with a core style of play and needs the ball. Neymar's arrival in Riyadh Crescent means that Dawasaari's position in the team will be significantly weakened.
In addition, we need to know that Dawasaari is also a core player of the Saudi national team, Saudi Arabia scored 3 goals in the Qatar World Cup, and Dawasari scored 2 goals. Dawasaari's support for Neymar in Riyadh Crescent, or even as a substitute, will inevitably affect Dawasari's form and affect his performance in the national team. After all, Dawasaari, like Neymar, is 31 years old and no longer young.
Today's Saudi league reminds us of the Jin Yuan Super League period, each team basically has excellent foreign aid to support the façade, foreign aid has a high tactical status in the team, and it is difficult for domestic players to survive in the team. Wu Lei is one of the few players in the national football team who can have a certain status in the club, and can compete with foreign aid, and the tactical status of other international players is worrying. Although the arrival of big-name foreign aid has improved the quality of the league, it has not done much to improve the strength of the national team. Because the international players are not the core in the club, they can find foreign assistance to solve the problem when they get the ball, and there is no way to get to the national team. In short, if Evergrande is strong, is the national football team strong?
The current Saudi league is even more than the Chinese Super League, foreign aid is bigger and more branded, the development of Saudi domestic players will be affected, and their national team strength is likely to suffer. There are 8.5 places in Asia for the 2026 World Cup, and Saudi Arabia is one of the main opponents of the national football team in the race to qualify for the World Cup. Now the Saudi league is not developing healthily, following the old path of the Golden Yuan Chinese Super League, I am afraid that the future is not ideal, and their national team will also be affected by this. The decline of the Saudi team is indeed good news for the national football team that is attacking the World Cup main stage.
