After some media relayed a rumor saying that he had requested the departure of his coach at Al-Hilal, Neymar accused them in turn.

The affair took on such proportions that the main defendant came forward with a clarification. For several days, a rumor indicating that Neymar had fallen out with Jorge Jesus after the draw conceded by Al-Hilal on September 18 against Navbahor Namangan (1-1) in the Asian Champions League, has been circulating insistently. Several Saudi media, as well as Sport Italiaargued that the clash between the former PSG and his coach had pushed the player to ask the dismissal of the tactician. “Ney” insisted on denying the information.

In a message posted on social networks, he in turn accused the media of lying. “ Lies. You need to stop believing these things. Pages like this, with millions of followers, cannot continue to publish false information. With all respect in the world, I ask you to stop this. It’s very disrespectful. » Neymar thus responded to news on the subject, posted by TNT Sports Brazil.

His team is currently second in the standings, a very small point behind the leader, Al-Ittihad, a club where Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté play in particular.
