The behavior of Brazilian player Neymar da Silva with an Al Hilal club staff member after he was injured during the team's match against Esteghlal Tehran on Monday, angered "Al-Zaeem" fans. Neymar left the field injured a few minutes after participating in the match, which was his second with Al Hilal after an injury that lasted more than a year.
A video clip, widely circulated on social media platforms, showed Neymar dealing with someone believed to be Saud Kariri, who holds the position of Al Hilal's football director. The Brazilian star appeared to push away the staff member who tried to calm him down more than once, but the Brazilian lost his temper every time. The sentiment however is that he was upset with his injury and not that of disrespect.
Neymar was subjected to a lot of criticism, but at the same time, others defended him, indicating that his reaction was normal due to the recurrence of his injury after a year of absence.
