Neymar 'Psychologically Destroyed' by World Cup exit.
Will Neymar play for Brazil at the 2026 World Cup?
Neymar Jr is a fantastic and fundamental football player, as well as a provocative figure as a person overall. His immense talent is unrivaled, but his behavior continues to create quarrels on and off the pitch. Given his reputation as one of the most talented players in football history, he earned the title of one of the most mediátic athletes of all time! With stops at Santos, Barcelona, and PSG, he accumulated trophies and established himself as Brazil's brightest future star.
There is no doubt that Neymar is the most recognizable player in the current Brazilian squad. Neymar's fabulous goals and impeccable techniques today, as well as his personal affairs and controversies, press statements, and on- and off-pitch behaviors, has turned him into a prominent figure in modern football.
Regardless of the fact that Neymar has only won a few titles with the Brazilian national team, he is the most requested and desired player by many Brazilian fans & the international media. Additionally, Brazilian fans have heavily supported him to play in the upcoming competitions and the World Cup.
In 2013, he was the nation’s "game changer " player who had a significant role in helping Brazil win the Confederations Cup under the expert guidance of Felipão (the coach). Astonishingly, Brazil defeated the absolute favorite, Spain's national team, beating them in the grand finals, 3–0, thanks to a goal from Neymar, who was named the tournament's golden star.
The Rio Olympics conquest in 2016 established Neymar as one of the prominent figures in Brazilian football history. Indeed, a World Cup for Brazil is still required for Neymar to compete with Brazilian legends such as Garrincha, Pelé, Romário, and Ronaldo, as well as other stars. Therefore, with an exclusive gold medal from the Olympics, the Brazilian number 10 protagonist demonstrates unique and extraordinary brilliance.
Neymar has had significant moments with Brazil's national team in recent years. There were many decisive goals, dribbles, and magnificent assists, such as in the Confederations Cup victory in 2013.
Regrettably, Neymar Jr had passed through bad phases when he experienced a sequence of injuries. In 2014, he left the World Cup in the quarterfinals after suffering a massive injury in his back from the Colombian player Zuniga, causing a fracture in his fourth vertebra.
Neymar's experiences in World Cups has never been positive; his journey began with an injury that emerged in 2014, when Neymar was playing his first World Cup, suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to miss Brazil's semi-final against Germany. Four years later, the problem arose shortly before the Russian World Cup, with Neymar suffering a hamstring injury in his right foot that prevented him from competing in the 2018 World Cup in his best form, though he ended up playing anyway. The same injury he suffered in the group stage of the game against Serbia, an injury in his right foot that forced him to miss two games of the 2022 World Cup.
NEYMAR ON FUTURE WITH BRAZIL: 'I DON’T KNOW'
The PSG star, who is still dealing with the fallout from the trauma of losing the World Cup in the quarterfinals against Croatia, confided with friends that he will do everything in his control to compete in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Recently, following Brazil's elimination from the Qatar World Cup, Neymar gave "Globo" a controversial interview in which he mentioned, "Honestly, I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s hard to talk about it right now,". "It would be too hasty to come here and say that this is it, but I can’t guarantee anything. I have to take some time to think about it. I’m not closing any doors to the Seleção, but I’m also not saying 100% that I want to be back."
After the end of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Neymar revealed two factors that favor his participation in the 2026 World Cup. The fact that the next World Cup will be held in three and a half years and Messi's extraordinary performance in 2022, despite his 35-year-old age.
According to "Terra", Neymar has plans to compete in the 2026 World Cup, following in the footsteps of Argentina's brilliant player, Lionel Messi. Neymar has revealed that he will do everything possible to be present at the 2026 World Cup.
To conclude, there hasn't been any other protagonist or leader since Neymar's arrival in the Brazilian national team. Furthermore, if Neymar exits the Brazilian national team, it may have a significant negative impact on the nation's performance in the upcoming competitions.
