Good news, Neymar continues with Santos! This Monday evening, the Brazilian marked a double in the face of Juventude (3-1). Standing the fifth time in a row by Kléber Xavier, the player gradually finds his level and his pace lost for almost two years now.
After an inexpensive adventure in Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, due to an injury that removed him from the fields for long months, Neymar had made the choice to return to the sources by committing to Santos, a club that revealed him in his early days to try to revive. But since his arrival last January, everything has not been all pink for the former Parisian.
Since January, the player has only played 655 minutes all competitions with the PEIXE, Thus causing the frustration of the player and the club supporters who expected more from the former Barcelona. At the end of the meeting in the face of Juventude, Neymar said he was satisfied with his performance: ” I am happy to have made a good game and win again, it's the most important. “
Neymar wants to compete in the 2026 World Cup
If there is one reason that prompted Neymar to return to Brazil at the start of the year, it was his desire to regain his level in order to compete in the 2026 World Cup. But his performances and injuries during his first months in Santos far removed it from the Seleçao.
The player had also not been selected by the new Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti, last June. “”
He (Neymar) must prepare well and he has time to do it. He is a very important player for us for the World Cup ”, said the former Real Madrid coach about the former PSG player.
While Brazil will play the playoffs at the 2026 World Cup next September against Chile and Bolivia, Neymar is waiting for a conversation with Carlo Ancelotti firmly. The 32 -year -old also launched a subtle message to his coach at the end of the game against Juvenitude: ”
Everyone knows my style. I am available, I am an athlete, I always feel good. So it's up to them to decide. “ It remains to be seen whether Ancelotti will respond positively to the call of the Brazilian star.
