Santos: Neymar recounts his return

This Friday, Santos formalized the comeback of Neymar JR (32 years old) for 6 months. And for this exceptional player, the Brazilian club decided to give him a beautiful honor. Indeed, he inherited the number 10. A number worn by a certain Pelé.

Enough to make Ney proud, who had brought 11 during his first visit. “King Pelé, the throne and the crown are always yours because you are eternal. It will be an honor to wear the 10th, the sacred jersey which represents so much for Santos and for the world. I promise to do everything in my power to continue to honor your heritage, “Rey”. “ A beautiful tribute.
