​This summer, Neymar chose football in Saudi Arabia, and the Brazilian signed a contract with Al Hilal. Quoted by L’Equipe, the footballer talks about the transfers made in the Saudi Arabian league, saying that the league he will play in is perhaps better than Ligue 1.

Having reached the age of 31, Neymar left for an offer from Saudi Arabia, with many football insiders suggesting that the Brazilian star wanted a break from the pressure and a lot of money.

The striker speaks highly of the Saudi league, which he says is arguably better than Ligue 1 (France’s top football league).

“Football is the same there, the ball is round, like everywhere else. With the big names that make up this league, it’s quite possible that this league is better than Ligue 1. Training is intense.

I want titles and I want to win with Al Hilal. Nothing changes for me and it doesn’t matter what people say. They said Ligue 1 was weak, but that’s where I suffered the most.

It will be an interesting championship and I am sure you will be following it. It will not be difficult for me to adapt. I don’t speak Arabic, but after 5 or 6 years in France, my French was bad. It won’t be otherwise.

I am happy to discover a new culture and the whole country has welcomed me very well. I am satisfied with my choice” – Neymar.

The Brazilian star has a contract with Al Hilal for the next two seasons.

During his career, Neymar played for Santos, Barcelona and PSG.
