Neymar Jr (32) continues to recover from torn ligaments and meniscus that occurred in a match with the Brazilian team in October against Uruguay. Precisely for that reason he could not compete to win what would be his first senior team title (he won a gold medal at the Olympic Games), something that saddens him. “It will be sad. It’s too bad to be left behind, but we support. I hope Brazil wins. There is a team for that, quality players. We will be in the crowd. I hope Dorival does a good job“, he says.
He also referred to his relationship with Lionel Messi, with whom he developed a great friendship at Barça, which continued at PSG and continues to this day despite playing for different clubs. The current Al Hilal footballer is full of praise. ”I talk to him often, he even messaged me yesterday. We are happy for each other, he also messaged me when we won the title here. “He is a great guy, a mirror for me, he is my great idol, and he is also my friend.”
In the aforementioned conversation, he also took the opportunity to deny his return to Santos. ”No, they told lies. Nothing is planned. I still have one year left on my contract with Al Hilal. I hope I have a good season. I missed it last time. Let’s live little by little. There is a lot of time ahead. Obviously, Santos is my favorite team. Someday I want to go back, but I don’t have a plan in mind”.
