Seriously injured in the knee, Neymar is going through a delicate period which does not protect him from criticism.
Away from the field for many months following a serious knee injury, Neymar has reignited debates on his medium-term future in football. After having often mentioned a certain weariness of his profession, can the Brazilian striker end his career prematurely?
At the age of 31, the former Paris Saint-Germain star still has the opportunity to regain his health to make a comeback and hope for a major victory with the Brazil team in the future, during the 2026 World Cup for example. But he is still far from it. And at present, some observers do not hesitate to assert that the Brazilian’s career resembles the greatest waste in the history of football.
“Neymar is the biggest waste in the history of football”
This is the case of Jérôme Rothen, particularly disappointed by the turn taken by Ney’s career after his arrival at PSG in 2017. “ He was the most expensive player in the history of football at that time, so that means everyone saw him as a future Ballon d’Or “, thundered Rothen, who even goes so far as to say that Neymar is ” the biggest waste in the history of football. “When I say it’s a waste, it’s because he never got the Ballon d’Or. Between 25 and 30 years old are your best years, we didn’t even ask ourselves the question of whether he deserved a Ballon d’Or », concluded the former French international.
