Neymar won the Champions League (2015) and the Libertadores (2011). It has in its showcases the São Paulo championship (2010, 2011 and 2012), the League (2015 and 2016) and the Ligue 1 (2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020). The Olympic gold was hung (2016) and conquered the Confederations (2013). Since he appeared in professional football at the age of 17, he has only been left without lifting an important title in two seasons, in his debut at Santos (2009) and in the first at Barça (with Tata Martino on the bench, he won the Super Cup in 2013). “Ney doesn't care so much about personal goals records as they do Cristiano and Messi. He wants to win titles ”, they assure from the Brazilian's environment. But at 29 years old and with a curriculum in which he only lacks the World Cup and the America's Cup, Neymar has to be held accountable.He did not lift the Orejona with PSG (finalist in 2020) and in Brazil they analyze his behavior with suspicion, indicated even in the victories.

  • Neymar's 'verde-amarelo' oasis

La Canarinha has seven wins in the seven rounds of the World Cup qualifying rounds.

Record.

In Brazil they talk about the game of Tite's team - they won 0-1 against Chile in a duel in which they lost possession and shot less at goal than the Red team - but above all they talk about Neymar's physical condition.

"Do we play well?

No!

We won?

Yes!

Then fuck yourself.

Keep dancing.

We continue to make history ”, the Brazilian published on Instragram.

Provocative by nature, Neymar ironic: "The shirt was G (large)," he wrote in reference to the size of his elastic against Chile last Thursday.

“I am already at my weight.

For the next game I ask for an M (medium) ”.

Neymar divided his vacations in two. In the first he was in Brazil, accompanied by his personal physical trainer and his physiotherapist. Then he traveled to Ibiza. Then, he forgot about the care. “He is not 25 years old. Now it is harder for him to recover ”, they explain at PSG. Unlike Mbappé, who brought his vacation forward two days to return to training, the São Paulo player did not spare a day. When he arrived in Paris, he sought to make up for lost time: double work shift and a vegan diet. "At the beginning of each course, all footballers are affected in their technical condition. Ney is no exception ”, Tite defended him. "It is true that he was not 100% physically, but he is a super competitive player and when he has to be well he is," they conclude from PSG.

Before the busy transfer market, in which PSG met Messi and managed to retain Mbappé, from Qatar they renewed Neymar. The idea of ​​the Parisian club was to give the Paulista even more power. Clothed in a tailor-made wardrobe —Rafinha, Marquinhos, Di María, Paredes and Keylor Navas—, Pochettino's coaching staff also surrenders to Ney. The arrival of his friend Messi did not alter the plans. On the contrary. Before the Argentine traveled to Paris to sign his contract, Neymar wrote to his friend: "Do you want 10?" Messi refused. He understands that now the team leader has to be Neymar. He already thought the same in 2019, when he insisted that he return to Barcelona. "I make you win the Ballon d'Or", the former Barcelona captain motivated him. Neymar does not forget that he has yet to win the France Football award. It worries you,but it does not disturb him. He prefers the Champions League. "Nobody remembers that in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, he was in Rio for 60 days only training like a madman to win the Champions League," they defend from their environment.

The paulista knows that he has to arrive in good condition when the round of 16 of the Orejona begin in February 2022. Exactly next year he could mark a peak in Neymar's career.

The Champions together with Mbappé and Messi, and the World Cup.

"He has the talent to get what he wants", they finish in Paris.

Brazil receives Argentina this Sunday (21.00, #Vamos).

Canarinha never lost a knockout match in Brazil;

However, they had only lost one official match at the Maracana (1950 World Cup against Uruguay), until Messi's Argentina arrived in the Copa América.

Neymar wants revenge;

his real goal, in any case, is the World Cup in Qatar.

It depends on your physique.

I mean, it depends on him.
