Neymar says World Cup in Qatar may be his last for Brazil
- Neymar won the 2013 Confederations Cup title with Brazil, and also won the gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games
The comments by the 29-year-old striker were made in the documentary “Neymar & The Line Of Kings,” produced by DAZN. An excerpt was published on the channel’s Twitter feed on Sunday.
“Man, I think it will be my last World Cup,” Neymar said. “I am facing it like the last World Cup because I don’t know whether I will be able to, mentally, to endure more football.“
“I will do everything possible to get there very well,” he added. “I will do all I can to win it with my country and realise my dream, the biggest since my boyhood.”
Neymar played in Brazil’s 0-0 draw at Colombia later on Sunday in a World Cup qualifying match. The Selecao leads the 10-team round-robin competition with 28 points after 10 games. Neymar missed last week’s 3-1 win at Venezuela because of suspension.
Brazil coach Tite was asked about Neymar’s below-par performance, which included 17 missed passes and 30 losses of possession.
