Following his big-money switch from Paris Saint-Germain, Brazilian superstar Neymar has now made a bold claim about the"weak" Saudi Pro League he has just joined. The former FC Barcelona attacker has insisted that, while many may perceive the Saudi top flight to be an inferior league compared to some of Europe's best, it is highly competitive and by no means"easy to win", and suggested that it could already better than the division he recently left behind, Ligue 1."I assure you that football there is the same [in Saudi]. The ball is round, there is a goal. Because of the names that have gone to the Saudi league...
"Nothing changes in my head. People say that the championship is not known, that it is weak... everyone said that when I went to the French championship and it was the place where I suffered the most in. "It's not going to be easy to win the Saudi championship because there are other teams that have gotten stronger, there are well-known players, and I'm sure it's going to be a very interesting league and that you're going to see it."
