For a long time, as long as it is mentioned which star who has joined the Saudi league has performed the worst, many fans must blurt out Neymar's name. Oh, that's a thunderous name! But, to be honest, I have a bit of my own opinion on it.
Neymar, this buddy, signed Riyadh Crescent at a high price, and the news caused a lot of waves at the beginning. Everyone was expecting him to shine in the Saudi league, but the hospital bed became his main battleground. This is really a big surprise! However, he can't be blamed for this, no one can say for sure.
But ah, don't look at Neymar's lack of appearances, his performance on the field is really breathtaking. Let's talk about the game against a certain team, he made a clever pass that directly assisted the team to win. At that moment, my eyes lit up! Isn't this the Neymar we were looking forward to? Skillful, with a wide vision, he is simply an artist on the pitch.
Recently, the highlights of Neymar in the Saudi league that have been circulating on the Internet, I have watched it several times. That ability to move through the crowd is amazing! How can such a Neymar be said to be a poor performer? I think that if he can stay healthy, the Saudi league may really be a stage for him to create a new legend.
Speaking of Neymar's teammates, they are all full of praise. They believe that Neymar plays a pivotal role in the team and can be a huge help to the team even if he has limited playing time. Some experts analyzed that Neymar's technical level and game vision are world-class, and he has an important impact on the team's overall tactical system. It's not like I'm messing around, it's all justified!
Now the discussion on the Internet about "whether Neymar is still a world-class star" is also hot. I think it doesn't need to be asked? Of course, and despite the injuries that plagued him, the superstar he showed in his limited playing time couldn't be overlooked.
However, the situation of another superstar, Benzema, is a bit awkward. This guy plays for Jeddah United, and his recent performance is really unbearable. I thought he would shine in the Saudi league, but I didn't expect him to become the target of complaints from the fans. It's laughable!
In the most recent game, Benzema missed another crucial goalscoring opportunity. To be honest, I'm anxious for him! How could Benzema, who is so dominant in the European arena, be so sluggish in the Saudi league? This is unbelievable!
Some netizens even initiated a discussion about "whether Benzema should leave the Saudi league". I think it's up to him what he thinks. If he doesn't feel like he can find his form here, it's not a good idea to leave. But ah, as fans, we still hope that he can find his best form and regain his former glory.
The overall performance of Jeddah United is also worrying. As last season's Saudi league champions, their downward trend this season is simply too obvious. The league table has slipped to fourth place, and such a result is obviously not satisfactory to the fans. To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if they've been decapitated!
Against this backdrop, Benzema's performance has undoubtedly become an outlet for fans to vent their frustrations. But yes, football is a team sport, and one person's performance does not completely determine the team's results. So, we can't blame Benzema alone. So the question is, who is responsible? Is it the coach's wrong tactical arrangement? Or is the tacit understanding of the players insufficient?
Overall, I think that although Neymar and Benzema's performances in the Saudi league are in stark contrast, they cannot be blamed individually. Soccer is a team event, and it's everyone's business to win or lose. As fans, we still have to be rational about this. Let's hope they can all find their best form!
