It Is Very Complicated To Be Me – Neymar

Brazil forward Neymar has hit back at critics who keep questioning his fitness ahead of the World Cup. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it is very hard to keep having to deny several false rumours about his fitness online, and he can only conclude that it is very complicated to be him.

Neymar added that he’ll keep thanking God for giving him the patience needed to deal with the rumour mongers.

His words, “Since many people are creating theories about what is happening to me: nothing is happening. If I play injured, as they said last year, I am wrong. If I only think about myself, I am wrong.

If I take it easy, I am wrong. If I play with pain or something that could aggravate it, I am wrong. It’s complicated, huh? It’s very difficult to get it right, man. Very difficult, very difficult to please everyone.

What surprises me the most, I mean, it doesn’t surprise me, it’s the people, these people who seem to be by my side every day and start making up stories, saying this, as if it were the greatest truth in the world, as if they were the owners of reason.

It’s very complicated to be me, my goodness. I have to have the patience to put up with you guys, you know?”

WOW.

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (born 5 February 1992), known as Neymar Júnior or mononymously as Neymar, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Brazil national team. A prolific goalscorer and playmaker, he is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and the best Brazilian player of his generation. Neymar has scored at least 100 goals for three different clubs, making him one of the few players to achieve this feat.

Neymar came into prominence at Santos, where he made his professional debut aged 17. Soon becoming the Brazilian’s league star player, he won the 2011 Copa Libertadores, being Santos’ first since 1963. He was named the South American Footballer of the Year in 2011 and 2012, and relocated to Europe to join Barcelona in 2013.

In his second season, as part of Barcelona’s attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, dubbed MSN, he won the continental treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League. Motivated to be the focal player at club level, Neymar unexpectedly transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017 for €222 million, which made him the most expensive player ever. In his debut season, he excelled in French football, winning the league title and being voted Ligue 1 Player of the Year.

Despite recurring injuries in Paris, he helped PSG attain an historic domestic quadruple in the 2019–20 season, during which the club also reached its first ever Champions League final, with Neymar being named in the UEFA Team of the Year for the second time in his career.
