Presenter and former player Grandchildspoke on the program “Os Donos da Bola”, about the decision of the Neymar to operate on his ankle, which is once again a problem and has left him out of the last few games of the PSG. According to “Craque”, the number 10 will do the right thing by going for the surgical procedure, but he should have done it before.
“A wise decision by everyone (…) It’s time for a father, mother, brother, friend to speak the truth to this boy (Neymar) – who isn’t even a boy anymore. He has an ankle operation, keep the ligaments strong, won’t be back until next year. He thinks about the next World Cup, dedicate himself. Now, I don’t know if that will happen.“, Neto said.
Afterwards, the presenter also stated that he already knew that Neymar would need surgery because of the number of times he has twisted the site. The Brazilian has already had problems with both feet, and for Neto, it’s clearly because his ligaments are no longer in the shape they should be.
“I already knew he was going to operate. When you sprain the same ankle seven times, the same way, the ligament has already ruptured. And no doctor was manly enough to say that.“, completed the former player and Corinthians idol. It is worth remembering that, because of this decision, Neymar will no longer play this season.
In this way, PSG continues its commitments without the Brazilian, still having to dispute the French Championship, which it leads comfortably, and the Champions League, where it will play the return game next Wednesday, 8. The French were defeated by Bayern Munchenby 1 to 0 at home in the first leg, and will have to reverse the situation.
