Rumors about Neymar’s alleged discontent and his request for the coach’s dismissal had generated controversy in recent days. However, the player himself has come forward to categorically deny these claims and challenge the veracity of the news that linked him to this supposed request.

Neymar’s response demonstrates once again the importance of social networks as a platform for athletes to communicate directly with their followers and deny false information. Meanwhile, Al Hilal fans hope that the Brazilian star will regain his best form and help the team achieve its goals in the Asian Champions League and Saudi football.
