For several weeks, many certainties have vegetated around Neymar. The Paris Saint-Germain striker is coming out of a complicated 2022-2023 exercise with the capital club. It must be said that the Brazilian star has not been spared repeated physical glitches this season, in particular an ankle injury contracted last winter which sidelined him for long weeks. But he is on his way back, he who has assured that he wants to stay in Paris. In selection, his future questions on the other hand.
Following Brazil’s penalty shootout defeat against Croatia at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Neymar was evasive about his desire to continue in selection. “I’m not closing the doors of the national team, but I’m also not saying that I will return 100%”, he said. But for his teammates, not seeing him again in the Auriverde jersey is unthinkable! Uol mentions that the former FC Barcelona striker is still unanimous in the Brazilian locker room. As such, several players have argued for his return to the likeness of Richarlison, who wears the tattooed face of his idol on his back. “Neymar also lives for the national team, he loves being here. I think he will be with us soon”, said the Spurs striker. A vision also shared by Marquinhos, his club teammate. “I believe 100% that he can still bring a lot to the national team. As a friend, even after the World Cup, I spoke to him, I encouraged him a lot to continue in the national team and I think it is a desire that he has”, ended up concluding the Parisian in the columns of the auriverde media. One thing is certain: if the presence of Neymar for the next meetings of Brazil remains uncertain, his partners are unanimous about him and believe that he remains an essential element within the Canarinha.
