Neymar reveals a backstory on his injury

Brazil’s overwhelming victory over South Korea (4-1) in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar also saw the return of Neymar, who scored a goal on a penalty kick and was awarded Man of the Match at the end of the match.

The Seleçao number 10 told a backstory about his injury after the match: “It was scary, because I was coming from a very good season. The injury was difficult. The other day I spent the night crying. But everything went well. The effort was worth it. It was worth it to stay until 11 a.m. for treatment today.”

“It’s time to go further. We dream of the title, but we have to take it one step at a time. There are still three games left. We are ready and focused to win the title,” Neymar added.

The PSG striker also wished “all the best” to Pelé and “good health as soon as possible” after his hospitalization.
