Neymar came on as a substitute in the 58th minute of the match and left in the 85th minute, as he complained of back muscle pain.
A video clip, which was widely circulated on social media platforms, showed Neymar roughing up Saud Kariri, who holds the position of Al Hilal’s director of football.
The Brazilian international pushes the administrator who tries to console and calm him down several times.
Watch the clip of Neymar arrogantly shoving Saud Kariri, who tried to get his attention!!
We won’t be satisfied with Kariri Al Hilal even if they win, Yanmar!
We are waiting for Al Hilal management’s severe punishment on Neymar, otherwise it will be embarrassing for all the players. pic.twitter.com/qt6oo4Hfcw

While some criticized him, others sympathized with the Brazilian star, considering that his reaction was normal as he relapsed after a year’s absence from the field.
The arrogant style of the player with the team manager Saud Koriri…it’s normal for something to go unnoticed and the player is upset about his injury…and he doesn’t look good.

Neymar only featured for a handful of matches with Al Hilal, as he tore his cruciate ligament last year and his absence extended to more than a year, prompting Al-Jaime fans to demand his departure and the impending period of signing a bigger name.
