During his six seasons spent at Paris Saint-Germain, between 2017 and 2023, Neymar was regularly criticized for his night poker games as well as his endless evenings. Its neighbors as well as the mayor of the town of Bougival (Yvelines) still remember it.
When he was injured, the international Auriverde had the annoying tendency to
Go to Rio Carnivalrather than optimizing his return to competition. A habit he has kept since his return to his native country and having earned him certain criticisms last March.
“People have a certain image of me as a player. Everyone thinks that the festivals I organized, the carnivals I went to, it was every day, at any time, and not when I could do that, during my day of rest, on vacation “explained the top scorer in the history of
The Seleçãoquoted by Marca.
Neymar, a career tainted by injuries
Neymar is proud of the accomplished journey. “I lived 15 years old, I played for large teams and I was part of the Brazilian national teamhe recalls.
This requires a lot of dedication, you have to make a lot of concessions, I know what I'm talking about. It is not easy to arrive at this level. I am very proud of everything I have accomplished. »»
During his career, the famous number 10 was not spared from the serious injuries.
