Neymar cried for five consecutive days, wanted to leave the Brazil team.
Do youremember the Brazil-Croatia match in the World Cup quarter-finals last December in Qatar? Despite going ahead in extra time, Brazil was forced to return to parity after conceding a goal. After losing the tiebreaker, he had to withdraw from the World Cup. Neymar was so saddened by that loss that he wanted to leave the Brazilian national team. Neymar said this in an interview with Brazil's famous journalist, YouTuber and streamer Casimiro.
In an interview with Streamer Casemiro, Neymar said he wanted to retire from the national team after losing in the quarter-finals of the last World Cup. Neymar has confirmed that he is not retiring from the national team anytime soon. Neymar's words in the interview were published by the Brazilian newspaper Globo.
The Brazilian star of PSG said, "To be honest, I didn't want to return (to the national team) after the World Cup." But I had to think again. I'm hungry for success, aren't I? So that idea had to be reconsidered and changed. I didn't want to suffer anymore after the World Cup. But it is also difficult to see the family suffer.
Neymar said he had a bad few days after the 4-2 tiebreaker loss to Croatia. Brazil went ahead with his goal in extra time. But Neymar had a hard time accepting such a loss after being forced to return to parity and then losing in the tiebreaker.
"I cried for five days straight. I was very sad because my dream was crushed like that. Lose the match in a 0-0 tiebreaker and score no goals—I'm willing to accept that; But to score a goal, then concede a goal and lose in a tiebreaker — that's very hard to accept.''
Neymar has joined PSG training after recovering from injury. In the interview, Neymar said that the loss to Croatia in Qatar was the worst moment of his life. Telling how the atmosphere inside the team was then, Neymar said, 'It (defeat to Croatia) was the worst moment of my life. One was crying next to me, another on the other side. The atmosphere of the entire party became very heavy. I never want to go through that experience again.'
Neymar suffered an ankle injury in the Qatar World Cup match against Serbia. He played the next matches with leg pain. Neymar also spoke of teammate Marquinhos' help after being eliminated, "It was the worst week of my life." got hurt No one knew, I got sick. I was treated in bed all day. Only the legs were outside the bed. Physiotherapist treated everything. Marquinios was by my side then, he supported me.'
