Brazilian legend Ronaldo is “very happy” to see Neymar back to Santos but called for patience after the attacker's difficulties with injuries.

Neymar put an end to a complicated period and marked by injuries in Al-Hilal in January to return to the club of his childhood, Santos, where he has already performed fascinating performances.

The 33-year-old has been playing regularly for the first time for more than two years, after suffering from an anterior cross ligament injury, problems with hamstrings and other physical formal problems, and his recent resurgence has aroused the hope that he can be the star of Brazil at the 2026 World Cup-something that the former Real Madrid star is looking forward to seeing.

Ronaldo, who presents himself in the presidential election of the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF), told ESPN.
“I am very happy that he is back and that he made this choice. If a player is not happy, he does not play well. You have to be patient with the return of a serious injury, there will be relapses, muscle problems, a year of absence is long. You have to be patient with Neymar, and he must commit to being the star of the 2026 World Cup. If he has this commitment, and if he is not yet clear on this, if I win the election, I will convince him. »»

Neymar played for the last time with Brazil in October 2023, suffering from a rupture of the previous cross ligament during the match against Uruguay and he will seek to return with the Seleçao soon.
