Celebrations in Zagreb: Croatia beat Brazil and advanced to the semi-finals (Twitter)
It is doubtful that this will comfort the Brazilian people who are so disappointed by the elimination from the World Cup, but Neymar is trying.
This evening (Sunday), the Selção star revealed on his Instagram account the WhatsApp conversations between him and Rodrigo, Marquinhos and Thiago Silva after the loss on penalties to the Croatian national team in the quarter-finals.
To Rodrigo, who was stopped by Dominic Livacovic in Brazil's first penalty, Neymar wrote: "I am here to tell you that you are a star. I am honored to be a part of your career, to hear you say that I am your idol and to see you become one of the stars in the history of Brazil! Missed penalties Only those who kick, I made a lot of mistakes in my career and learned from them all. But I never gave up, I always strived for improvement and strived for perfection in everything. I love you not because of the player you are, but because of the good guy and the huge heart you are. Keep your head up, the criticism and the pressure will harden you you and remember what I told you, you will still bring a trophy to Brazil. I wish you all the success in the world, disconnect these days, rest and come back with full strength! I'm here for what you need."
The Real Madrid player replied back: "Thank you, my idol, for everything and from the bottom of my heart! I apologize for everything and for delaying the fulfillment of your dream, I hope you will continue in the national team so that we can win together. We will always stay together, thank you for the love."
Neymar replied with humor: "What are you apologizing for, you're crazy? Only those who kick miss, and you're a star! But I'll teach you how to kick. We're together, take care."
Rodrigo laughed and admitted: "I'll need it."
To Marquinhos, who kicked his penalty into the crossbar and sent Croatia to the semi-finals, Neymar wrote: "One penalty won't change what I think of you."
The stopper, who is known to collaborate with Ney at Paris Saint-Germain as well, answered: "I really wanted everything to work out. It sucks to think that a penalty is what stood in the way of our dream. But come on, we have to be strong, give it time and wait to see what football has in store for us in the future".
Neymar also sent a message to Thiago Silva, who at the age of 38 played his last World Cup and was unable to end his career with a World Cup win on his resume: "I really wanted to give you this trophy," he wrote to the veteran captain, who replied: "Brother, it's more fucked up than I imagined, Really. I can't stomach it. I can't believe we lost. Every time I think about it, I want to cry. Ben ***."
