Injuries are a troublesome topic for Neymar. Yesterday, he celebrated his comeback with Santos after another forced break. Even in the final training session, the Brazilian showed great anticipation. To realize his World Cup dream, he must also convince Carlo Ancelotti that he can help the Selecao after months of rest.
However, just minutes after being substituted, the outstanding player was rudely tackled.
He was able to continue playing and didn’t suffer any new injuries since, but this egregious attack on his health had an even worse context.

In a way, this was requested in advance by the extreme fans of AE Velo Clube Rioclarense.
Ahead of the showdown with Santos, ultras fans put pressure on their players through spokespersons. The message was brutal: “If you must stop Neymar from playing in the World Cup, let this bastard go. What the hell. We have to do everything we can to win this game.”
It’s no secret that some of Brazil’s super organizations put a lot of pressure on their clubs. However, there is almost no video footage of any such explicit remarks. However, this desperate speech achieved nothing.
Despite Neymar’s brief appearance, Santos won the match 6-0, sealing Rio Clarence Football Club’s relegation.
