Beyond the Pitch: Neymar’s Remarkable Friendship Thrives at Al Hilal
In a mere week since his arrival at Al Hilal Football Club, Neymar finds himself undergoing rehabilitation for an injury, dedicating his time to fundamental injury recovery exercises, preventing him from gracing the field just yet.
Although a recent addition, his integration within the new club has been nothing short of remarkable, quickly fostering camaraderie, warmth, and exuberance with his new teammates.
Particularly notable are Neymar’s burgeoning connections with Ruben Neves and Malcom, who have gone above and beyond to initiate him into the dynamics of his new environment. The trio’s interactions are marked by joviality, and with each passing training session, Neymar’s smile seems to broaden.
Ruben Neves: A Glimpse into the Companion
Born as Rúben Diogo da Silva Neves, this Portuguese professional footballer has established himself as a midfielder, representing the National Football Team of Portugal. Trained at Porto, where he made his debut for the senior team at the tender age of 17, Neves subsequently joined Wolverhampton Wanderers for a reported fee of £15.8 million in 2017. His contributions were pivotal in securing the EFL Championship title in his debut season.
Neves boasts over 60 appearances for various youth national teams of Portugal and made his senior national team debut at the age of 18 in 2015. He played a significant role in Portugal’s journey in UEFA Euro 2020 and the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Having embarked on his professional journey with Porto, followed by Wolverhampton Wanderers, Neves now graces Al Hilal with his presence.
Malcom: A Glimpse into the Companion
Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira, a Brazilian professional footballer, has carved his path as a winger for the Brazilian National Football Team. Malcom’s career commenced in the youth ranks of Corinthians, earning him a first-team call-up in 2014 under the tutelage of coach Mano Menezes. Subsequently, he became a regular in the starting lineup during the 2015 season. At Corinthians, Malcom participated in 73 matches and netted 10 goals.
Malcom’s journey has seen him weave through various clubs, including Corinthians, Bordeaux, Barcelona, Zenit, and currently, Al Hilal.
As Neymar navigates his initial days at Al Hilal Football Club, the heartening rapport he has cultivated with fellow players Ruben Neves and Malcom showcases the power of shared interests and mutual camaraderie on and off the pitch.
This trio’s journey promises not only to impact their individual performances but also to foster an enduring friendship that transcends the boundaries of the beautiful game.
