Neymar has hit back at Al Hilal boss Jorge Jesus after the boss of the Saudi Pro League club criticised the Brazilian's fitness levels.The attacker came through the youth team ranks at Santos and scored 136 goals in 136 games for the club before moving to Barcelona in 2013 for €57.1m., but stunned the football world in 2017 when he became the new world record football transfer with a €222m move to Paris Saint-Germain after the French club paid the buyout clause in his Barcelona contract.
"In training I showed that I was fit to play, that I was in the same condition as the other players. Especially because when we did a collective training session, I was the one who made the decisions, I was the one who scored the goals."I don't even like to talk about it, to create controversy, but it's the reality. When Jorge Jesus made that statement, I knew that when I went on the pitch I would show something different.
"So, let's leave it at that. The pitch speaks. The pitch is the only place where I can defend myself."Neymar set to 'terminate Al Hilal contract' and complete blockbuster move which nobody saw coming
