​Neymar was officially introduced to Al-Hilal, and the Brazilian talked about how the championship in this country changed after the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Saudi Championship will be very competitive, says Neymar

The former PSG man says everyone called Ronaldo “crazy” when he chose Saudi Arabia as his destination, but says the league is now very strong.

“I am very excited and very happy to join the new championship. This is a new experience, a new challenge. I am happy to make history. Challenges motivate me, and when you face a new challenge like this, it boosts your self-esteem.

I’m here to help the championship grow. Many things have already been changed, many transfers have been made. Of course, the championship will be very competitive. I hope that our club will have a good season and that we will achieve our goals. Of course, this is another change, but a new challenge.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo started it all, and everyone drove him crazy, this and that. But today you see that the league is growing more and more.

It is interesting to meet high-class players in other teams. It motivates you to be even better. When you meet Ronaldo, Benzema, Firmino, the emotions are even greater. It will be great to face them, it will be fantastic” – Neymar.
