It may be inconsequential, judging by Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” quote. But the Voyager 1 story aside,  NASA’s tech is even being used in the world of soccer. Yes, believe it or not, NASA’s tech has been used by Al Hilal and Brazil soccer star Neymar before, and he could still be using it!

Neymar previously used the NASA device called “Game Ready” to get fit before the 2016 FIFA World Cup. The device which is used by astronauts in space missions, offers cooling and compression to damaged or injured body parts whether they are muscle or orthopedic issues and has several other applications as well. Now, Neymar might have resorted to using it again in his race to get fit for his new club Al Hilal’s next game against Al Shabab.

Neymar in race to get fit for Al Hilal clash against Al Shabab

Al Hilal play Al Shabab in their Saudi Pro League clash on Friday and their marquee signing Neymar is currently trying to get fit for the game after just coming back from injury.

According to a Saudi media person, Neymar is using special equipment to get fit for the fixture. But whether it’s the same device that he’s using remains unknown. As this post on X, states “The physical equipment is working to prepare the legend Neymar to participate in the Al-Shabab match on Friday“

Neymar has had to battle several false reports in the media suggesting a rift between him and Al Hilal boss Jorge Jesus. But the Brazilian striker has since lashed back stating that it’s “fake news”. Regardless, on the pitch, Al Hilal and Neymar have stuttered a bit since the Brazil forward came back from injury.

The Brazilian forward is yet to score for Al Hilal since debut

While it’s certainly not the worst couple of results, Al Hilal drew two of their subsequent games following Neymar’s debut in their emphatic 6-1 defeat of Al Riyadh. Since then, Al Hilal were held 1-1 by Navbahor in the AFC Champions League and then 1-1 against Damac as well, with Neymar starting both games.

The club, however, did get back to winning ways in their recent King’s Cup fixture. A goal from former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves as enough to give Al Hilal a win in the Round of 32 in the King’s Cup. Nevertheless, as it stands Neymar has made three appearances for Al Hilal and is yet to score for the club. But he has managed to make 1 assist.
