While his declaration on his future in the selection made a lot of talk, Neymar returned to his words and puts things straight.
In an interview with DAZN, Neymar blurted out a little phrase that made people talk a lot: “I think this will be my last World Cup. I think that because I don't know if I will have the mental strength to take care of football ”. In the process, many debates took place concerning the future of Neymar , in particular at PSG , and on his motivation to evolve at the highest level. But on the sidelines of the French national final of Red Bull Neymar Jr’s Five in Paris, the Brazilian made it clear.
Neymar sets the record straight
“I said something, but people understood something else. I said that, yes, it will be my last World Cup and that I will face it in the best possible way. I'll give my best to be 100% because it's like having a game the next day, that's how I approach it. If there's a game tomorrow, for me it's like it's the last of my life. So for this World Cup that's coming up, I think about it like it's the last for me because I don't know how tomorrow will be and what can happen. When I said that it was a bit controversial, people were saying that I wanted to stop playing football and that I was going to quit the national team. People have understood a completely different thing. I wanted to say that I live this season as if it was the last. Why ? Because we don't know how tomorrow will be and what can happen, ”he says on the Red Bull website.
