Despite his exile in Saudi Arabia, Neymar continues to fuel debates in his country.
Author of 79 goals in 127 caps, Neymar dethroned King Pelé in the ranking of top scorers for the most successful nation in history. A feat which is not enough to calm the criticism aimed at the Brazilian star. By his personality, his choices, his lifestyle, his opinions, the former PSG player is not unanimous in his country, far from it. Fernando Diniz, coach of the Seleçao, insisted on putting the church back in the middle of the village…
The technician recalled Neymar’s exceptional stints with the Auriverde. “ No coach in the world would give up on Neymar at his age and with the hunger he has.

I have already said that Neymar is one of the greatest players in the history of Brazilian and world football and I hope we can help him write the most beautiful page in its history“, concluded Diniz.
An outing which should not leave Neymar indifferent…
