According to Brazilian publication A Tribuna, Neymar would deliver a “discreet” performance against Corinthians. The publication asserts that the former Paris Saint-Germain forward was “rarely used” and “slow” during his cameo appearance.
Placar, on the other hand, praised the player more by stating that he had “more game rhythm” as he continues to work on his fitness after suffering from a string of injuries during his time in Saudi Arabia.
However, the publication did mention that he “did little” throughout the entire game and that he was eventually replaced in the 23rd minute of the second half.
In a post-match interview, Neymar expressed his satisfaction with his most recent performance, stating that he was impressed by his sharpness.
The statement that he made was, “Physically, I’m getting better and better.” “I felt better today than I did in the previous game, so it’s slowly but surely getting better. My ability to get back into shape won’t be able to happen all of a sudden. Nevertheless, I will be at my best in two or three games.As a result of Neymar’s most recent appearance, which was a cameo that brought complaints about the “really bad” match ball, the Brazilian media has responded to his most recent appearance, which occurred after he suffered the first defeat of his second stint at Santos.
A month ago, Neymar made his long-awaited return to his boyhood club, Santos. This came just a few days after his rumored contract at Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, which was worth £1.6 million per week, was terminated by mutual consent.
At the Jorjão on Sunday, the 33-year-old player made his second debut for Santos, which was a forgettable 1-1 draw against Botafogo. He then started as captain for Santos’ league match against Novorizontino, which took place within the same stadium.
As a result of tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) just five games into his debut with Al Hilal, Neymar was only able to play for a total of 42 minutes in 2024.
On the other hand, the Brazilian international has already played more games this year, with his most recent appearance coming on Wednesday, when Santos was defeated by Corinthians by a score of 2-1, despite the fact that he had a significantly higher number of shots.
Subsequently, the 33-year-old expressed his disapproval of the match ball, which was manufactured by the Brazilian sporting goods manufacturer Penalty.
In an interview with TV Record, he gave the following statement: “From the very beginning, with all due respect to Penalty, which sponsors the ball, I believe that they need to improve this ball a little bit more.”
Filipe Luis, the coach of Flamengo, made the statement a few days ago, and I agree with him. The quality of this ball is extremely poor, and it needs to be improved even further in order to contribute to our championship as well.
In a statement made by Flamengo manager Filipe Luis following his team’s victory over Volta Redonda by a score of 2-0, he made his feelings regarding the ball readily apparent.
“The ball is the thing that is holding us back,” he stated. On the other hand, the ball is terrible, and the field was good. I wanted you to ask the players their opinion about the Penalty ball. I’ve played with it and I’m seeing them suffer. All that was lacking was a ball that was in satisfactory condition.
