“It’s not possible”: Neymar explodes because of the conditions of the pitch where he will have to play the Asian Champions League

During this transfer market, many of European football’s biggest stars have made radical career changes. They left the strong competition behind and emigrated to Arab countries, seeking to increase their capital with petrodollars and trying to place a second-tier league in the elite.

A change that brings benefits, but also exposes them to a reality to which they are not accustomed. Proof of this is the situation that Neymar Jr had to experience in Iran, a few hours before facing Nassaji Mazandaran in the Asian Champions League.

All this after images of Iranian club employees repairing the stadium turf just days before the two teams’ match went viral. The file also shows how workers attempt to compact the grass with different tools, including a wooden board.

Neymar saw the toll on social media and commented on the situation on his Twitter. “It’s not possible,” he expressed with an emoji of a lamenting face and another laughing. Message which undoubtedly places in context the strong contrast experienced by the former PSG and his teammates Mitrovic, Malcom, Milinkovic-Savic and Bono, all stars of the old continent.

The repercussions of the situation were such that the coach of the local team, Mehdi Rahmati, He was asked about the condition of the turf during a press conference. “We are not responsible for the poor condition of the Azadi stadium pitch, we tried to improve it but it was not like that “, he admitted.

Ney’s side, current Arab League champions, will be looking to secure their first victory in the continental tournament, after falling short on debut against Uzbekistan’s Navbahor Namangan. His other rival in the group is City of Bombay from India.
