RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct 3, (Agencies): A viral video featuring Brazilian footballer Neymar da Silva counting in Arabic has taken social media by storm. The video, originally shared by Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal Football Club, where Neymar now plays, showcases the athlete alongside teammate Mohamed Kanno, as they humorously count from three to seven in Arabic. The lighthearted clip demonstrates Neymar's ability to accurately pronounce the numbers.

Neymar, aged 31, made a transfer to the Saudi club from Paris Saint-Germain FC and inked a two-year contract, as reported by Al-Arabia news site. Since his arrival, Neymar has been embracing elements of Saudi culture. He actively participated in the 93rd Saudi National Day celebrations, donning traditional Saudi attire in a video shared by Al-Hilal. In addition, he joined in the famous Ardha dance to the tunes of popular music. Neymar's evident comfort and camaraderie with his fellow football club members are quite apparent.

Notably, Neymar's mother has also drawn attention to her keen interest in Arab culture since their move to Saudi Arabia. She has been seen wearing the traditional niqab, riding camels, savoring Arabic coffee, and adorning herself with significant jewelry adorned with Arabic motifs.
