We had given up on Neymar. Brilliant on the pitch in the Barcelona shirt until 2017, then some decent seasons at PSG, then injuries, extra-sporting noise, seven games for a few billion in the “Ronaldo League”, then return to the youth club Santos FC. We expected this to be six months of photo shoots, signatures, samba dancing at press conferences and minimal football kicking. Sorry, Neymar, we were wrong.
Yes, circus Neymar is still there, but when it is part of performances on the pitch, then it has entertainment value. The season is still not underway, but in 432 minutes on the pitch in the Campeonato Paulista, Neymar has delivered impressive individual performances, three assists and two goals.
The last one is worth noting:
Here is the Neymar show before and after the score. This is how we love to see the Brazilian.
