A particularly emotional player, Neymar burst into tears when talking about the last twelve months where he was unable to play a single match.
Neymar has just celebrated a sad birthday. That of his rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament last year, during a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup with Brazil, against Uruguay. Since then, Al-Hilal’s star player has still not played competitively again.
However, the former number 10 of PSG has returned to training and could be lined up on Monday in the Asian Champions League, against the Emirati club Al-Ain. “I experienced a magnificent moment in my life with my arrival in Al-Hilal, the birth of my daughter… This combination of events made this year something exceptional, and then there was this injury… If I remember the pain? Yes, it was intense. At that moment, I already knew it was serious”confided the top scorer in the history of the Seleção on his YouTube channel NR Sports.
Neymar, a career punctuated by injuries
Like a phoenix, Neymar is reborn from his ashes. “What I love most in life is playing football.
I suffered every day I was away from the field. That’s what hurt me the most. But the objective is there. The most important people in my life, my friends, my family and football. I get back up every time I get hurt”concludes the 32-year-old Auriverde international.
During his career, the native of Mogi das Cruzes was not spared from serious injuries. Fractured vertebrae during the 2014 World Cup, ruptured ankle ligament in February 2018, hamstrings, adductors… If Neymar was sometimes unlucky, his sometimes reprehensible lifestyle was not always unrelated to these numerous physical glitches.
