It's been a year and a half since Cron joined the Ainas club, and despite scoring 64 goals in 70 matches, he has never been able to taste the glory of winning an official tournament. On the other hand, last August, another superstar, Nii, moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Hilal. Despite playing only 5 matches, scoring 1 goal and assisting 3 times in all competitions, he helped the team to win the League, Super King and Copa del Rey this season, achieving the glory of the "Triple Crown".
Nima joins Hilal on an annual salary of 150 million euros (HK$1.27 billion), only slightly less than Cron's 200 million euros (HK$1.7 billion), and he is a 32-year-old Brazilian international. Since October last year, the "Samba Corps" has been out of action due to injuries sustained in preparation for the World Cup, and the pressure on Nima's job seems to have eased considerably.
Nima became Hilal's "patron saint", and in the midst of the team's shortage of strikers, they became more and more courageous, defeating Ittihad 4-1 in the final of the Super Cup in April, and winning the title with a 14-point advantage over league leaders Ainas. In addition, in the final of the King's Cup, they successfully defended Ainas' "Triple Crown" honor.
Despite playing only five times for Hilal, Nima was present at the championship ceremony on three of those occasions, and his efficiency in winning the title was remarkable.
