Neymar is talk of the day. The Brazilian, before the game against Colombia from the tie to Qatar World Cup 2022, he made an unexpected revelation about his future as a footballer.
“I think Qatar 2022 will be my last World Cup, because I don’t know if I have the mental strength to deal with football more. I will do everything to get there well, to win with my country, to fulfill the dream that I have had since I was a child and I hope I can achieve it, “Neymar told ‘Dazn’.

Neymar and the worst moment of his career
He recalled the hardest moment he lived with Brazil in a World Cup: the day he received a knee in the back, given by Camilo Zúñiga, precisely in a Colombia-Brazil, for the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup, which took him out of competition and that prevented him from being in the semifinal that Brazil lost 7-1 to Germany.
“It was one of the worst moments of my career, I couldn’t move my legs. It spoiled my dream of playing a World Cup, a semifinal, the final … When I hurt my back, Marcelo tried to help me up but he couldn’t. He tried to move his legs, but he couldn’t. In the infirmary the doctors tried to move my leg, I felt an overload and could not feel my feet. There I began to cry inconsolably, “he said.
And he added: “In the hospital the doctor told me that I was out of the World Cup but that if the blow had been two centimeters lower I would not walk again.”
Ballon d’Or candidate
Neymar did not play the last game of the tie against Venezuela because he was suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards, but he is ready for the commitment against Colombia.
He and the Argentine from Inter Milan Lautaro Martínez are also among the 30 candidates for the Ballon d’Or, revealed this Friday by France Football magazine.
The Brazilian, a finalist in the last Copa América, has been third in the award twice, surpassed in 2015 by his now teammate Lionel Messi and in 2017 by the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
