“Last week they said I was the worst player in the world. Today I scored two goals, and that’s what counts,That’s soccer. One day you’re not good enough and you have to retire, the next, people say you have to go to the next World Cup” the words of the 34-year-old Brazilian outfielder to Sport TV.

“I am committing myself and working to achieve the best possible physical shape. This was my third game of the’year and only the second in which I played a full ninety minutes. I felt some cramping at the end, but it is part of the process to get to the top”, the remark of Neymar himself, definitely satisfied with his performance against Vasco da Gama.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti has repeatedly said that Neymar will be considered for the World Cup if he finds his best condition. In light of the fine showing against Vasco da Gama, a hope seems there may be.

These two goals scored against Vasco da Gama are Neymar&#8217s first goals since last December 2025, when he closed out the year with a double against Juventude. Two goals that could, again, relaunch him at the highest level. At 34, Neymar is still convinced that he can make magic on the field, as he has in the past (injuries permitting).
