The PSG star, visibly affected by the loss to Croatia, has left his future open as to his presence at Scratch. “To say it’s the end would be rushing, but I’m not guaranteeing anything either,” he said.
Brazil lives a drama, with the elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. The penalty shoot-out loss to Croatia not only meant being kicked out of the tournament, but it was also the end of Tite’s era in charge of Scratch.
In addition, Neymar has left his future in the selected team open. The PSG player was very affected by the outcome of the match. Visibly shaken, crying on the lawn of the Education City Stadium, he also avoided saying if it was his last World Cup with the Canarinha.
” Honestly, I do not know. I think talking now is bad because my head is hot, I don’t think right. To say it’s the end would be reckless, but I don’t guarantee anything either. Let’s see what happens from now on,” said Neymar, who will turn 34 for the 2026 World Cup. “I want to use this time to think about the national team, to think about what I want for myself. I’m not closing the doors to the national team, nor am I saying 100% that I’m going to come back,” he added.
Asked what went through his mind with the result this Friday, the 10th admitted that it will not be easy to assimilate what happened. “It looks like a nightmare. I can’t believe this is happening. This defeat will hurt for a long time. That’s why it’s so sad. I want to thank the Brazilian fans for their support, love and respect for all my teammates. Saying that unfortunately we didn’t achieve our dreams, but that’s part of football and it happens. Now is the time to go home, cry and suffer for the loss,” sentenced.
“It’s hard to talk right now. With a million things on your mind. It’s a very united group, a happy, happy group, but today was not a day of joy, but of sadness. Unfortunately, in an unfair game, we ended up being eliminated. Now is the time to put your head on the pillow, to hug your family. Only they can comfort us now.” added an affected Neymar.
Qatar 2022 was the third World Cup for Ney and none allowed him to dream of the crown. At Brazil 2014, he suffered a serious injury (lower back fracture) that knocked him out of the quarter-finals, with which he lost Germany’s humiliating 7-1 defeat. Then, in Russia 2018, his country was also eliminated in the Round of 16, by Belgium.
