Brazil legend, Ronaldo has come out to say that he is very happy to see Neymar back at Santos. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, however, supporters would have to be patient with the forward because his recent struggles with injury could trigger a relapse or painful muscle problems.
Ronaldo added that a year out is a very long time in football, but Neymar looks happy again to be back in his country.
His words, “I’m very happy that he’s back and that he’s made this choice. If a player isn’t happy, he doesn’t perform well. We have to be patient with the return from a serious injury, there will be relapses, muscle problems, a year out is a long time. We have to be patient with Neymar, and we have to have his commitment that he really wants to be the star of the 2026 World Cup. If he has this commitment, and if he’s not clear about it yet, if I win the election, I’ll convince him of it.”
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.
