It’s liberating to see Neymar playing football again. It took a return to the youth club Santos to regain the desire to be on the pitch – and stay injury-free for a few months. It was therefore with horror and horror that Santos supporters had to watch their world star remain on the bench in the 1-2 loss to Corinthians. For the first time in 17 months, Neymar has been selected for the Brazilian national team, should we now miss the 33-year-old back in the yellow shirt?
It is quite clear that Santos and Neymar have a clear agreement on how this working relationship will work.
“All I wanted was to be on the pitch today and help my teammates in every way possible, but on Thursday I felt discomfort that prevented me from playing today. We took a test this morning and I recognized it. Unfortunately, it’s part of football,” Neymar writes on Instagram.
The Santos coach says he has made “a pact”.
-The only thing that was taken into account was the discomfort. I’m thinking of Santos, not the Brazilian national team. I couldn’t take the risk. Our promise is to do everything to keep Neymar healthy and fit,” coach Pedro Caixinha said according to Footboom.
No supporters who scream in anger when Neymar doesn’t show up, the 33-year-old has definitely made the right choice of club for the last round of his career.
