He believes in it wholeheartedly.
Neymar intends to put Brazil back at the top of world football next summer. Weighed down by repeated physical problems for three years, the Brazilian striker is far from being assured of playing this World Cup on North American soil, but his latest outing testifies to his confidence.
Neymar participated this weekend in a public event organized in São Paulo. Called to take the stage to project himself onto the great American adventure, the former Parisian made a very strong announcement. “We are going to do everything possible, if not impossible, to bring this World Cup back to Brazil. In July, you will be able to hold me accountable”he said, confidently, in front of an astonished audience.
Where are Neymar and Brazil?

The Brazilian has even started a race against time to be operational in June 2026, after Carlo Ancelotti increased the warnings about his physique during his last press briefings. “Come on, Ancelotti, help us, okay? », said the man with 79 goals for the national team. “If we go to the final, I promise to score…”. The appointment is made.
