Neymar bet for Brazil in the World Cup in Qatar to return to the podium and crown the sixth title, after an absence of twenty years. He is a major contender for the title of best player in the Arab World Cup, in the face of Argentine Messi, Portuguese Ronaldo, Polish Lewandowski, French Benzema and his compatriot Mbappe. The most optimistic about this versatile champion is his compatriot, King of Football Pele, who has settled his expectations: Neymar’s complete preparation and focus on the World Cup make Brazil’s chances great in Qatar, he is amazing, talented and even the best in history.
Brazil carried and endured
Although the Brazilian coach Tite said that the team no longer depends on Neymar’s goals, he did not hide his optimism about the new generation, whose elements will pour their efforts on the field for the benefit of the star, whose performance has evolved and became a more creative role, playing as a striker and maker, playing with the final touch, falling back a little and making opportunities and score them.
It is no different that Neymar is one of the best current players in the world. He is a central striker and second striker, who is innovative, passing and playing with two feet, scoring more than 100 goals for three of the biggest clubs in the world: Santos, Barcelona and Saint-Germain. He is the most marketable athlete, and in 2017 became the owner of the biggest deal ever when he moved to Paris Saint-Germain for 222 million euros, and an astronomical salary: 4 million euros per month!
Neymar comes after Pele in the number of international goals for Brazil (74 goals in 119 matches), and he is also close to the king in the age of playing with the national team (18 years older than Pele), and like the “black jewel” Santossi, upbringing and inspiration. He played with the prestigious Brazilian club as a professional at the age of 17 and won the Libertadores Cup in 2011 for the first time since 1963.
Qatar 2022 is the third World Cup participation for this player, who in 2016 won the first Olympic gold medal for Brazil, and who led the Paris club to the Champions League final for the first time (lost to Bayern Munich 0-1). His two World Cup participations were conflicting, and their main title was: Neymar carried Brazil in 2014 and endured it in 2018. In the World Cup on the land of samba dancers, Neymar scored four goals with a decisive ball in five matches, and was unable to be with his team in the crushing fall against Germany 1-7 in semi final. He had injured his back in the previous round and missed, while Brazil failed to beat the Netherlands in the match for third place. In 2018, he fell with his companions in the quarter-final against Belgium.
Neymar, who joined Barcelona in 2013 with the second highest number on the stock exchange after the Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic (the declared amount is 57 million euros and the real 86 million) and formed with Messi and Suarez the annoying trio of Real Madrid, had an experience in the Madrid club at the age of 14 years (2006) and refused He offered to complete with the cubs of the white club team because of a financial dispute (60,000 euros), and when he returned to his country and to Santos in 2009, he ignored two offers from West Ham and Chelsea.
A great actor who deserves an Oscar
The huge amount paid by the Parisian club, owned by a Qatari company headed by Nasser Al-Khulaifi, is the size of the achievements and the record of individual and collective titles for this instinctive goalscorer, and the owner of the “miraculous and explosive” touches, whose main features are innovation, in addition to vision, passing, dribbling, trick, speed, vitality and skill in The toy industry, in short, is a real phenomenon.
Anyone who dives into the sea of the achievements of the thirty-year-old is unable to give a comprehensive idea, but as much as the Brazilians’ charm has disturbed the whole world, exaggerating the fall to the ground just for any harassment from an opponent player, to the extent that some say that Neymar surpassed Hollywood stars in acting, and it was his right To get an Oscar. That was the opinion of former France international Cantona: he’s an outstanding player but also a great actor!
In the last World Cup in Russia, he set a record for proneness. According to Swiss statistics, he “slept” 14 minutes during the first four matches, including 5.3 minutes in the match against Mexico. Maradona commented on Neymar’s rolling, saying: We must tell him: Either you make us cry or laugh. When the Mexican “run over” him, that was crying, and after seeing him run, that was funny!
And the “manipulator” in the 2018 World Cup deceived the referee against Costa Rica, who awarded a penalty kick in his favour. But after returning to the video technology, it was found that the Brazilian deliberately fell without being subjected to a violation, and he also set a record in falling against Switzerland (10 times), as well as against Serbia. But this does not prevent Neymar from making twenty-six mistakes in the last five World Cup matches.
The hero of the fall and the star of hairdos
Neymar, then, is the hero of the fall, but also the star of the haircuts, and among the sarcastic comments on the strangeness of his hairstyles: On his head is spaghetti.. His hair is like straw.. Some wondered if he puts a mop on his head.
These comments did not come out of nowhere. He appeared in the five matches in the World Cup in Russia with three hairstyles, and he took with him a private hairdresser and another to take care of the color!
Resentment about Neymar’s falls was a rich material for social media pioneers, so he was severely attacked when he deliberately fell during the French Saint-Germain match and Japan’s Gamba Osaka, so the referee awarded him a penalty kick from which he scored a goal without contacting any player.
Although some considered that Brazil suffered more from Neymar’s talent than it benefited from, and others considered that the Brazilian did not deserve the fabulous amount from the Parisian club, the reality was otherwise, this player was the fastest in Saint-Germain’s history to reach 50 goals in 58 games . This season, he returned with an ideal weight, scored seven goals and passed 5 decisive balls until the sixth stage of the French League, raising his score to 109 goals, equaling Paulita, the fourth best scorer in the history of the Parisian club.
The reality also says that the samba team wins more with Neymar. This is what veteran Italian coach Marcello Lippi started from, when he confirmed that Brazil is the most likely to win the World Cup in Qatar, as it has an integrated team led by Neymar.
