Will Neymar be able to play in the Copa America? After a serious injury in the World Cup against Uruguay, this became a topic of concern for fans. Now the Brazilian national team doctor has given the right answer: "It's too early to talk about a comeback, it doesn't make sense to speed up the recovery process and take unnecessary risks." We expect him to be ready to return at the start of the 2024 European season, which is next August. ”
The words of the Brazilian team doctor basically announced that Neymar will not be able to participate in the Copa America in June next year. After all, his injuries were torn anterior cruciate ligaments and meniscus, and normal recovery would take at least nine months. This is the third time in his career that the Brazilian has missed the event. In 2016, Neymar chose to give up in order to compete in the Olympics, and in 2019, he was also absent due to injury, and the Samba team won the Copa America that year.
Neymar has once again fallen in the face of injury, which is embarrassing, and looking back at his injury history, it is even more shocking - since his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, Neymar has missed 27 games due to various fitness and injury reasons, accumulating more than 700 days of absence, this time suffering another overhaul, the number will increase by another 270 days. Considering the Brazilian's age of 31, it may be difficult for him to return to the top.
When Neymar first debuted, he was a talented teenager in Santos, with the halo of "Pele II", and was considered to be the proud son of heaven who led the revival of Brazilian football. He was indeed full of vigor and hope in the early part of his career, participating in the World Cup on home soil as a core player at the age of 22, and standing at the top of Europe with Barcelona as a member of MSN at the age of 23. According to the expected development, he will become Messi's successor at Camp Nou and is expected to lead Brazil to a sixth star.
Many times, one important choice can change the entire course of life, and this is the case with Neymar. At the end of the 2016/17 season, Neymar, who was unwilling to live below Messi, chose to leave Paris, and the world-record transfer fee detonated the football world. Neither Messi nor Suarez were optimistic about this, but the Brazilian was still restarting with a bang, but the prospect of romantic Paris was not as expected, and after the honeymoon period, Neymar gradually replaced the limelight by the younger Mbappe.
The last few seasons in Paris were not happy for Neymar. Holidays with fans appeared from time to time, the club's cold eyes gradually attacked, and injuries continued to destroy the genius's body, and he gradually drifted away from his original dream. In almost every transfer window, public opinion will create scandals about Neymar's departure, so in the summer of 2023, the Brazilian king finally made up his mind, but the final decision was a little unexpected - he left Europe in the same year and went to Saudi Arabia to pan for gold.
It is impossible to judge the success or failure of such a transfer, but for now, it seems that only Paris is the most proud. Neymar joined Riyadh Crescent for a transfer fee of 100 million euros, which allowed Paris to earn a high transfer fee while freeing up huge salary space. Looking at Riyadh Crescent, they gave Neymar a salary of $300 million over two years, and the Brazilian contributed one goal and two assists in just five appearances before being reimbursed for the season.
Neymar's serious injury also had a huge impact on the Brazilian national team, as the Samba Army lost 2-0 in the match in which the horses were reimbursed, and then they were reversed by Colombia and then lost to arch-rivals Argentina. Although Neymar's form cannot match that of his peak, he still has a huge tandem effect on Brazil's attack, and the current five-star Brazil is ranked 6th with only 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the world preliminaries, which is simply a big surprise.
Now that Neymar is certain to miss out on the Copa America, Brazil's prospects have become uncertain, and for the player himself, 2023 does look a bit of a reversal. In the latest update of the German transfer market, Neymar fell from 50 million euros in October to 45 million euros, which is the fourth consecutive decline in his value update, falling by 30 million euros in a year. The horses that used to run so indulgently have come to such a field......
However, Neymar's mentality seems to be quite good, according to the latest photos, he has turned on the computer and started playing the game, I think the outside world is too worried. No one knows what level Neymar can have after returning from a serious injury, but when the former genius fails to fully realize his talent, regret always spreads. As the third person in the world, the 31-year-old Neymar can still find himself again?
