I'm not a doctor, but I've always wondered the following:

- How was it possible for a player who was injured to go out partying and dancing and this not have any consequences for his recovery from the injury?

When he was injured, he would always go to parties and dance and this would anger his fans, especially when he was at PSG. Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion, the fact that he was injured and went to parties to dance may have weakened his body to the point that the injuries took longer to heal and his physique could no longer reach the desired speed on the field because he was out of action for so long.

Maybe he needs to party to enable him not to be depressed or to forget his sorrows. To be out of games for such a long period could be frustrating so he needs to engage in some things that give him joy.

But too much or everything is bad. If Neymar keeps partying and drinking excessively consistently, it will affect his fitness. The injury might heal but he might not be fit enough to play games. He needs to discipline himself because it will aid his fast recovery.

Yes, it true, party consumes lot of alcoholic drinks and his body which is in recovery will experience an increase in the proportion of fat, in the end Neymar must lose his speed and agility in playing football, is that what is meant.
During the recovery period, the most important thing is to focus on the health of the body and healing the injuries experienced, regarding entertainment so as not to be frustrated is also very easy, he can come to the training ground and chat with his teammates, that is much better than party.

We all know some players who like to come to nightclubs and party with lots of alcoholic drinks, they become slow players even as their age increases, showing very significant decline in playing quality.

Yesterday, I saw a news in one of the sports tabloids where it was reported that Brazilian national team legend Romario had said Brazil can not win the 2026 FIFA World Cup if Neymar Jr isn't fit and included in the squad. The report came as a surprise to me of I must be honest because looking at the Brazilian national team, I think they are the most talented in the world at the moment and without the presence of Neymar Jr, I expect them to gave a great outing in the 2026 world cup or possibly win it.
Comparing the quality of players in the Brazil national team with the other top national teams, do you what Romario said is true or you have a different idea. Let me read your thoughts

i think saying this kind of thing to a big and star studded team like brazil can be inappropriate and even poisonous and make other players feel disappointed that they may not be seen like him.
Didn't all the football stars who came and shone then leave the games, their team was also destroyed or they couldn't win a trophy anymore? ,no.
So in my opinion, whether Neymar plays for the national team or not, the rest of the stars and players on the team should appear in the World-cup without thinking that they don't have a legend and luck with them and show their capabilities and talents.

What Romario said may be able to diminish the motivation and spirit from the Brazilian national team now, but I think the statement should be a positive criticism for the Brazilian national team , in fact I actually see that the statement is not wrong and even that it not different from what Ronaldinho has said previously "if the current Brazilian national team is the worst of the last few years", And doesn't that actually been proven by their failure in the Copa America?

Actually, we must to look at it from a more positive angle when there are controversial statements from legendary players, because maybe they see if there is something wrong with the current national team, and besides that, and that statements should be a motivation for Brazilian players at the moment to able achieve better achievements and proven if what the legendary said is wrong.!

This is the bad habit of brazilian star players. It was like that with Ronaldinho, Robinho, Ronaldo9 and so many others. If it weren't for that, all the players I mentioned would be much better.

It's possible to have a life off having fun outside of football, but without going overboard like Neymar does, or rather, without compromising the athlete's performance.

And the more seasons go by, the harder it will be for Neymar to win the much-dreamed-of World Cup and the award for the best in the world, which he should have won already in his current career.

The only exception was Romário, who would go to parties, sometimes he didn't even train like his training partners, and even so, he would tell the coach that he was going to score goals and he really did.

I heard that Ronaldinho would even skip training to go to parties, and that's why, when he won the 2022 World Cup and won 2 awards for the best in the world, he started to relax in training and go to more parties, and from then on his career only went downhill.

Partying habits and luxury seem to be the “disease” of many of the talented Brazilians. It hasn’t taken long for even players like Ronaldinho or Neymar to see a drop in their performance because they enjoy their lives off the pitch too much.

They are immensely talented but what makes them different is discipline. something that distinguishes them from players like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lewandowski, who maintain their fitness and focus into old age.

And the latest news comes from the Brazilian and Real Madrid legend, Roberto Carlos is currently in the throes of a divorce with his seventh wife, he is being sued for a large fine, and even because of this he has to temporarily live at the training ground of his old club Real Madrid.

This case only adds to the long list of Brazilian players who have problems off the field. This is a lesson that talent alone is not enough without commitment and discipline in maintaining a brilliant career must be the main priority.

A lot of talented stars have come to Brazil before and they've performed for Brazil and they've retired for a while, but I don't think it's happened to anyone else in Brazil like Neymar. Other players have at least not been hit by opposing defenders as much as Neymar has been. Maybe Neymar is physically weak but his football skills are very good, if Neymar had not suffered more injuries, he would have achieved more for Brazil in the Brazil jersey and would have a lot on his list of personal achievements.

We can call Neymar an unlucky footballer. Neymar may be at the end of his career, now the only hope and hope is that he can play in the 2026 World Cup and win at least one World Cup in Brazil's jersey. As a Neymar free I would expect as much.

Yes, it is obvious that when a player is injured he should be prohibited from drinking alcohol and dancing. Dancing is an exercise, it is force that is applied to the ankle and to the whole body on occasions, very poorly done by Ney, they are right to have been bothered, because it is something that seems immature to me and if he drank liquor and then danced the effect of the alcohol could have covered up the possible pain and that inhibits him in some way Sometimes players have to mature many things.

Brazil will no longer be a team that is idolized in the World Cup if they qualify, no one will be able to generate players like they did in the glory days. Brazil is very lacking in European level class players and therefore can only rely on Neymar as a manager in the team. Impact Negatives have also been seen in Brazilian clubs at the moment.
I can say that the World Cup is a tough competition to face because of the lack of experienced players. As you said, the quality of the local league in Brazil is very low. Selecting players to represent the national team in international events is very difficult.

Brazil is not on level while we have them few decades back but still one thing is sure talent and skills are available problem is at the coaching level as they fail to bring them on level for giving their best as team currently we have more than 200 players those are giving their best in top elite clubs of Europe and many other leagues which is clearly saying they have enough natural talent.

CBF one of the most corrupt sports organizations which fail to keep things on top level due to political influence and many other factors which are hurting them on national level but sadly due to political instability no one able to have settled this problem. I am also sure in case of qualification things could be not on well balance for them even they can have early exited as well because now many other countries are improving their quality which is good thing while Brazil is still having no improvement even having many top-class players.

On the other hand, regarding Neymar, I am sure the Al Hilal player will play in to the 2026 World Cup. It must be admitted that the challenge he faces is injury, I think playing in the Saudi Pro League does not make his place in the main Brazilian squad disappear. Neymar may consider returning to Europe after his contract expires with Al Hilal in June 2025.

In my opinion, it will be very difficult for Neymar to return to play for the national team. His physical conditioning seems to be far below the desired level, even at Al Hilal, which is a team in the Saudi Arabian league and does not meet the high level of demands that European teams demand in terms of physical conditioning. Neymar failed, so I think Neymar will not be playing in the Saudi league. Even if Al Hilal renews Neymar's contract, it will be so that Neymar continues to attract more attention to the club, but not because Neymar will play a lot. That is why I am convinced that we will not see Neymar playing for the Brazilian national team.

When he was younger he might have worked harder to prepare himself to play again when he was injured but he is slowly getting older so now if he gets a big injury it is difficult to come back from it quickly. Neymar has contributed well for the team in the past and he can continue to perform well but before he can contribute well he needs to be physically fit so that the management does not think too much about him. In Neymar's case, he will be out for an entire season with an injury and when he recovers, he will be injured again after two to one games. Neymar's career is nearing the end as he recovers from injuries. But as a neymar fan i would like neymar to play in brazilian jersey again and atleast win a world cup trophy.

I'm not a doctor, but I've always wondered the following:

- How was it possible for a player who was injured to go out partying and dancing and this not have any consequences for his recovery from the injury?

Yes, Romário was right, he has experience and good vision of the game.

You can see that after Neymar got injured in the 2014 World Cup, brazil went downhill, including losing 7x1 to Germany.

In 2018, Neymar got injured again and it was only when he left that brazil lost the next game, if I remember correctly.

There are many talented players in brazil, but currently Neymar is the only one with the potential to be the best player in the world at the level of Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Rivaldo, Romário, Zidane etc.

It's bad that the national team depends on just one player, because it seems like the team has more confidence when he's on the field.

Not much can be done about the national league (Campeonato Brasileiro Série A). On paper, it is regarded as one of the strongest teams in the world, in terms of quality. But the problem is that money is simply not there, even if the matches maintain very high quality. As a result, most of the players leave this league in favor of those in Europe, Middle East and East Asia. And given the small size of the Brazilian economy, attracting oligarchs to invest in the local football clubs has proven to be an uphill task.

Two things are certain: that Brazil (if they qualify) will have a terrible World Cup, probably not even making it past the group stage, and that Neymar will return to play in Brazil instead of staying in Saudi Arabia or another club in Europe. He no longer has a market in big teams, so his options are to go play in the United States or continue playing football in the Middle East. However, he has a great market in Brazil, and I believe he will return to Brazil and play for Flamengo.

Brazil is almost finished as long as international football is concerned. I don't think that they will manage to become the World Cup champions ever again. Perhaps Neymar was the last legendary player for Brazil and his career is almost over now. The main reason is that the local league in Brazil is of very low quality. So most of the Brazilian players migrate to other countries to play club football, and this has a negative impact on the team bonding when these players return to represent the national team.

Yes, I agree with you, Neymar is the last of the great Brazilian players, today, Vini Junior may be a good player, but he is still well below Neymar's quality... The Brazilian team is a very weak team, with a bad coach, no standard of play and no conditions to compete for any title, in the qualifiers they are struggling to face Ecuador, Venezuela and other tiny teams... imagine then in a World Cup... the team will fail, you can be sure.

The popularity of the Brazilian team and the interest that people had about them has started to decrease day by day. The reason for their decline in popularity is that they are no longer producing legendary players in their team and the players that are produced in their teams are not performing consistently. If I'm not mistaken Brazil has probably produced the most star players so far. But after Neymar, they may not have any legendary player in their team. And Neymar may not be able to play for this team for much longer as he is getting old and spending more time with injuries. Also, if the quality of the Brazilian local league you mentioned is very low, then it may not be possible to produce experienced and talented players from there.

Brazil's golden age may be fading, they used to have so many stars in the team. But now, we only see a few who are popular with their careers in Europe like Vinicius and Rodrygo. But they will not lose good talent. It's just that I think they have problems in the team that interfere with their game.
Brazil may have a decline in performance which causes people to be interested in them, but for the fans, they still have them in many countries who will support them.

The fact that Neymar is an asset to the national team is not a subject of debate and he can as well build more confidence to the national team if he players as a left winger or an attacking midfielder. But the issue will remain his health and ability to play maximally. Considering how Brazil performance declined a bit last tournament, they need a very strong squad depth and a good substitute as well. I feel like Neymar will perform more as a substitute. He comes in at a time when the club needs some huge attack force on the opponent and also calms the nerves of the squad in the event they're not in their best of forms.

Yes the assets of Brazil national team and provide confidence to improve the quality of the game, but that was then not now.
For now Brazil has young stars like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Raphinha and many more even though their appearance is still very bad and lacks so much experience to the point where their mentality is not really mature in defending Brazil.
And if Neymar enters the Brazil national team at the 2026 World Cup, I also think that he will only be substitute, meaning that Neymar game will only be used for few times when needed.
