Neymar is ready! The 28-year-old Brazilian striker is ensuring this to his fans via his Internal site this weekend, while training with PSG officially begins this Monday, June 22. "The period was atypical but the main objective was to stay in good health, with a stable body and mind," explains the Brazilian number 10.
The former Barça and Santos player admits that he misses "the excitement of the matches". "I'm ready and excited to come back, obviously thinking a lot about the Champions League. We have a solid group, which has just obtained a historic qualification with intensity and dedication. I am really looking forward to finding the ground and, with the will of God, to write history. "
It is true that the club and the players who will obtain the title in the Champions League will be the first in a new format, redesigned due to the health crisis linked to Covid-19. After having qualified for the quarterfinals, the first since 2016, PSG have their eyes riveted on a final tournament, on neutral ground in Lisbon and with eliminatory matches.
Now remains for Neymar and his teammates to prepare. Perhaps the most arduous mission when almost all of their potential opponents have been training and playing in official matches for several weeks. The Brazilian, who scored his 400th career goal against Dortmund in March, resumes training on Monday. Next will be friendlies and then two cup finals, before the big thrill in Portugal.
