Consultant for Canal +, Laure Boulleau spoke again about Neymar’s experience in Saudi Arabia.
If Laure Boulleau and Neymar often crossed paths in the corridors of the Parc des Princes when the Brazilian was under contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the former French international does not hesitate to take a critical look at the Auriverde star when she puts on her consultant costume.
At the end of August, when Neymar had just signed up with the Al-Hilal club in Saudi Arabia, Laure Boulleau made a rather remarkable outing, directly tackling the Brazilian by referring to her personal life. “ Neymar in Saudi Arabia? The nighttime activity won’t be as exciting!“, she said on the set of Canal Football Club.“Who thought PSG would sell him for 90 million euros? Person ! I have the impression that it gives cash in terms of finances. If Neymar has the legs to play, at 31, in a big club? Honestly, I’m not sure. »
“Neymar plays with bad defenders”
If these comments have not gone unnoticed, the consultant of the encrypted channel still does not spare the former PSG striker when she talks about the level of the Saudi league. “ I watched Neymar’s last match. I saw him walking. I feel a disparate level. They will sometimes play against teams that are too weak. There are players who are too weak with them. Neymar plays with defenders who are bad to watch, it’s weird.”
More than Neymar, Laure Boulleau underlined the very heterogeneous degree of competitiveness of football in Saudi Arabia. “There is something that is not there, and that is surpassing oneself. We don’t feel that stuff because they don’t need it. It’s still special though. When we go to see a football match, it’s to see guys working hard to have an identity. In fact, we feel that the stars do not feel identified in their club. Deep down, they know they went there for the money. » It is said.
