Neymar and magic with the same ankle that was inflamed 12 days ago

neymar He is the protagonist again with that right foot. The one who 12 days ago was inflamed today is capable of executing a penalty in an exquisite way. Thus, he appeared in Qatar 2022 with a penalty for Brazil’s 2-0 win over South Korea.

And all the lights are on Neymar in Brazil. Although his country agrees that the team itself no longer depends so much on Ney’s game, in the group stage it was shown that a different play from him is always necessary in Scratch.

That is why they took care of him so that he reached the round of 16 in full and appeared in the 12th minute to execute the penalty, after a foul on Richarlison. It is his seventh goal in the World Cups.

Precisely, Ney must shake off what can be called a curse in the World Cup. He was not considered for 2010 despite the fact that he already stood out at Santos, but he was Sub 20.

It was for Brazil 2014 where an entire country put the responsibility on his shoulders, but a blow to the back from Colombian Camilo Zúñiga took him out of the semifinals and Germany took advantage of the football and emotional blow for Scratch. Despite this, he scored 4 goals in the 5 games he played.

In Russia 2018 he returned for a rematch, but his football state was not the best and he suffered on the field. He scored 2 goals, but it wasn’t enough to withstand the Belgian gale, which knocked him out in the quarterfinals.

All of Brazil hopes that Qatar 2022 will be their great revenge. It started, literally, with a bad step. An ankle injury against Serbia took him out of two group stage matches and the Scratch felt his absence. He prevailed against Switzerland with a goal from Casemiro and fell to Cameroon in a match that already had him classified.

Against South Korea his magic returned. For the game, for his great way of executing the penalty, for his 89% of successful passes, for always being in the danger plays. Neymar is Brazil.
