JAKARTA - Al Ittihad's new player, Fabinho, recently went viral on social media. A video circulated showing how surprised the player was when he got a Rolex watch from a Saudi Arabian journalist.

The journalist was named Ibrahim Al Faryan. The luxury watch was awarded after Fabinho helped his team win 3-0 over Al Raed.

The meeting of the two teams was the inaugural match of the 2023/2024 Saudi Arabian League at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, Buraidah on Monday, August 14.

Quoted from Sport Brief on Tuesday, August 15, the incident began when Fabinho headed for the bus after the match. But outside the stadium he was stopped by a journalist.

Instead of conducting interviews, the Saudi Arabian journalist surprised Fabinho with the prize. How not, this journalist even gave a Rolex watch which is known as a luxury watch to the former Liverpool player.

In the viral video, Fabinho looks so surprised and doesn't expect that he will get a luxury watch from a journalist. This can be seen clearly from the player's expression.

"What's true? Just let it go," Fabinho couldn't believe it while smiling happily as quoted from the viral video.

Even because he was too surprised by what the journalist did, the luxury watch fell. Fabinho immediately took it and swiped the watch to ensure that it still worked.

However, Fabinho is not the only player who will get a watch from Ibrahim Al Farya. Through his Twitter, the journalist admitted that he would also give a luxurious watch to Neymar who was rumored to be joining Al Hilal.

"Wait, my next valuable watch will be a gift for Neymar who will arrive on Wednesday," wrote Ibrahim Al Faryan, a Saudi Arabian journalist who once covered six World Cup titles.
