Neymar’s return to the Canarinha
A video published on the footballer’s social networks shows the moment in which Neymar received the news of his call to the World Cup. Surrounded by family and friends, the Santos forward could not hide his emotion.
After more than two and a half years away from the Brazilian team and with irregular performance, Neymar admitted to being “very nervous” before the announcement. He repeated that he was “in the hands of God” and confessed: “It is surely the last World Cup (for me)… that is why the anxiety is great.” He also described the period of injuries he went through as “painful.”
When coach Carlo Ancelotti called his name, Neymar covered his face for several seconds to contain his tears. His wife, the influencer Bruna Biancardi, hugged him immediately. Then came a hug to the physiotherapist, his mother and the friends present, to whom he repeated: “We got it, we got it.”
The celebration included video calls with Raphinha, a Barcelona player and also called up, as well as with his father and representative, Neymar da Silva Santos. To the latter he said: “What a relief!… I am very happy.”
Neymar thanked the “love” of the thousands of Brazilians who asked for his return. “Now we are all one… we will give everything to bring the Cup to Brazil,” he assured.
