Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – A statement by the Brazilian star of Al Hilal Saudi Club, Neymar da Silva, sparked a reaction following he said that with the presence of stars, the Saudi League may outperform its French counterpart.

Neymar said in a press conference prior to the match between Brazil and Bolivia in the World Cup qualifiers: “I think football there (in Saudi Arabia) is similar. The ball is round and there is a crossbar for the goal.”

The Al Hilal Saudi Club star added: “I see that with the names of the players who went to Saudi Arabia, I will not be surprised if the Saudi League outperforms the French League.”

Neymar moved to the ranks of “Al-Zaeem” from French club Paris Saint-Germain for 97 million US dollars this season.
