I think the country deserves this recognition, this opportunity to be able to host a World Cup”, declared Neymar in a video published on Al-Hilal's social networks, this Monday (23), in celebration of Saudi National Day.
MAJOR INVESTMENTS IN SAUDI FOOTBALL

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in football, attracting big stars who played for the main clubs in Europe. Neymar, who transferred to Al-Hilal, and Cristiano Ronaldo, star of Al-Nassr, are examples of this movement that puts the country in the spotlight on the global sporting scene.

These investments seek to strengthen local football , and the possibility of hosting the 2034 World Cup is part of a larger strategy to project Saudi Arabia internationally, not only as a sporting destination, but also as a cultural and tourist destination.

Since his arrival in Saudi football, Neymar has had few opportunities to play. The player suffered a serious injury in October last year, while playing for the Brazilian team, which sidelined him. The striker underwent surgery on his left knee and is in the final stages of recovery, although there is still no official date for his return to the field.

Despite being almost six years old, Jorge Jesus' Flamengo still continues to generate buzz among the red and black fans. Thus, defender Léo Duarte said that the Portuguese coach irritated Rodrigo Caio in a specific training session at the club. Furthermore, he mentioned that the coach always aimed for perfection.

"I remember that as soon as he arrived, there was a training session that was the starting attack against the starting defense. And the defense was Rodrigo Caio and me, and the attack was Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Everton Ribeiro. Rodrigo Caio and I were doing well in training, in ten balls we recovered seven or eight until the only one we couldn't catch, Bruno Henrique scored. Jorge Jesus shouted, 'my central defenders (defenders) don't catch anyone'. I looked at Rodrigo Caio, and he was a little nervous", said Léo Duarte.

"We saw that it was his way. to 'poke' because he wanted perfection. So even though we were doing well, we lost a ball and for him it was worthless, he had to win them all", concluded the former Flamengo defender, in an interview with ESPN. ' this Monday (23).

With Jorge Jesus' demands, Flamengo in 2019 was considered the best team of Brazil and South America. This is because Mais Querido won the Brasileirão title with a record number of points, in addition to making a spectacular comeback against River Plate, taking the Libertadores cup.

Jorge Jesus currently heads Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, and continues to break records in the Middle Eastern country. Rodrigo Caio agreed with Grêmio. Finally, Léo Duarte spent several teams until signing with Istanbul Basaksehir, from Türkiye.

On Tuesday afternoon, a piece of news took over the Flamengo news. This is because the CAS would have canceled Gabigol's suspension effect and with that, the attacker would be suspended again, that is, he would not be able to play with the Flamengo shirt. 

Several websites, newspapers and social media accounts are reporting on the matter. However, when contacted by the press, Bichara Neto, Gabriel Barbosa's lawyer, was very succinct in his response and said: “There was no such annulment. I am unaware of this fact.” The player's representative's statement was made to journalist Raisa Simplicio.

Therefore, according to information provided by the "mundo rubro-negro" portal, if there were a CAS decision annulling the suspensive effect that allows Gabigol to continue playing, the Brazilian Anti-Doping Control Authority (ABCD) should NECESSARY be notified.

Therefore, the information conveyed that Gabigol can no longer play with the Flamengo shirt is unfounded However, if the suspensive effect has actually been lifted, Gabigol will be prevented from playing for Flamengo and will be absent from the team again. In March, the player was sentenced to two years for attempted fraud in an anti-doping test, but was successful in the CAS. a release to resume activities.

With the process annulled, the penalty returns to the beginning. The regulation states that the suspension will come into effect from the date of collection of the material, carried out in April 2023. Therefore, at this time, Gabi will return and stay away from the field until April 2025.
