🚨New: Neymar reacts after Santos 2-2 draw against Chapecoense:
• Reporter: Neymar, people keep saying you’re more committed to poker than football. They say every good game is just temporary. What do you say to them?
Neymar 🗣️: “People love rewriting history. Every time I score, they talk about poker. Every time I don’t, they talk about poker. At some point, you have to ask yourself whether they’re watching football or just waiting for a headline.
I took the penalty when my team needed someone to step up. That’s pressure. That’s responsibility. The people criticizing me weren’t standing on that pitch with thousands of people expecting them to score.
Everyone wants to tell footballers how they should live, but nobody talks about the sacrifices behind the scenes. Apparently, having hobbies is only a problem when your name is Neymar.
You don’t have to like me. You don’t have to agree with how I live my life. But don’t pretend my private life takes penalties or scores goals. My performances on the pitch should be judged by what I do with the ball, not by what I do on my days off.
Keep talking about poker if it makes you happy. I’ll keep talking on the pitch whenever I get the chance.”
🚨 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗥𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗨𝗡 𝗩𝗜𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗔̀ 𝗡𝗘𝗬𝗠𝗔𝗥 🇧🇷❤️
🗣️ « J'aurais payé pour le regarder jouer.
Il a fait tomber amoureux du football des millions de personnes. Chaque enfant voulait être Neymar.
Je veux surtout retenir tout ce qu'il a apporté à ce sport. Neymar a été, et sera toujours, un joueur exceptionnel. Merci pour tout. »
J’ose même pas imaginer les arthroses et autres douleurs chroniques qui l’attendent dans 5-10 ans.
J’espère que le football récompensera tous ses sacrifices.
Quoiqu’il arrive, Ney, on t’aime fort.
🚨🚨 NEYMAR VA SE FAIRE OPÉRER POUR SA MISSION ULTIME : LA COUPE DU MONDE !!! 🇧🇷🔥
« Je vais oublier le football pendant les 10 prochains jours.
Après je ferai l’opération que j’ai besoin de faire.
Puis j’ai une dernière mission, le MONDIAL.
Si je serai apte ? JE LE SUIS TOUJOURS. J’attends juste qu’on m’appelle. »
