Traveling to Iran in the Asian Champions League, Neymar is preparing to play on a pitch in a rather unusual state…
After four matches and two assists, Neymar Jr is still waiting to open his goal counter with Al-Hilal. The Saudi club’s next match is scheduled for Tuesday evening, in the Asian Champions League. But the Brazilian striker is not necessarily happy with this trip to Tehran.
The state of the Nassaji Mazandaran pitch does not invite optimism. A video of the Iranian club’s pitch, with pieces of turf being laid on the ground, was relayed by a French-speaking account which follows the Saudi Pro League. The images did not escape Neymar himself, who made his little comment. ” It is not possible “wrote the Brazilian, with an emoji that shows that he prefers to laugh about it.
This is not possible 🤦🏽♂️😂

Al-Hilal must, however, take points from this meeting, because Neymar and his teammates were held at home by the Uzbeks of Navbahor Namangan (1-1). A defeat would place the Riyadh club in a delicate situation, because in the Asian Champions League only the first of each group of four qualifies directly for the round of 16. Otherwise, you must finish among the best second-place finishers. And for the moment it is Nassaji Mazandaran who is at the head of the group…
