Neymar Brazil retirement is close now, as he said that his days at international football club, Brazil has ended due to the team’s failure to reach the FIFA World Cup final.
The 34-year-old Brazil record goalscorer made the comments after Santos beat Universidad Central 4-2 in the Copa Sudamericana on Tuesday. This brought up the uncertainty of one of Brazil’s most influential players after Neymar indicated he is no longer planning on wearing the green and white of his country.
Neymar spoke of his time in the iconic yellow shirt and emphasized the emotional bond he has had with the national team in his career. More than that, the forward said that he has dedicated himself to Brazil’s cause, and is proud of the history he has made on the international arena.
The Santos striker went on to become Brazil’s top goal scorer and was a key player in the country’s team in various big competitions. He was a key player of the modern Brazilian football era by his playing style, creativity and attacking ability.
But the World Cup heartthrob’s choice seems to have been swayed by Brazil’s recent World Cup woes. This is a big change for the Selecao, who will now be looking to nurture a new generation of players after his likely move.
While he never won a World Cup, Neymar’s international success was marked by outstanding performances, leadership, and memorable achievements. Nevertheless, his national team career is remarkable. The decision by the forward comes as part of a general reshuffle in Brazil’s squad as veteran players are being phased out in anticipation of upcoming games.
However, Neymar has not officially announced his retirement from international football via the Brazilian Football Federation, but his latest statement certainly gives the impression that his international career may be coming to an end.
