Currently on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury, Neymar is making headlines in Brazil.
It is without its top scorer and technical leader that Brazil will end this very difficult year 2023. The Seleçao, which has multiplied its poor performances, must deal with the long-term absence of its star. Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee and a torn meniscus, Neymar will be away from the pitch for a year.
“It’s a very sad moment, the worst, the former PSG player wrote on his social networks. I know I’m strong but this time I’m going to need my friends (family and friends) even more. It’s not easy going through injuries and surgeries, imagine going through it all again after 4 months of recovery. I have too much faith… But I put my strength in the hands of God so that he can renew mine. Thank you for the messages of support and affection. »
“Neymar must write the most beautiful pages of his history”
As things currently stand, could this tile hasten the end of Neymar’s career? The hypothesis has been raised by several observers, in Brazil and elsewhere. But it was brushed aside by Fernando Diniz. For the interim coach of Auriverde, there is no question of imagining Ney retiring in the short term.
“The absence of Neymar is always a hard blow. It is a loss for Brazilian football and also for football as a whole. He’s a football genius, one of the greatest players in history, that’s my opinion. We wish him a good recovery and that he comes back stronger, he said. I believe that he has yet to write the most beautiful pages of his history. This injury has not erased this possibility, it may have made it more difficult, but he will be able to use it as a strength to come back stronger. » The message got through.
