Neymar responds to critics with Santos double

Agency :

Neymar’s lack of goals recently have given his critics plenty of ammunition to write him off but the winger ended his drought in style with a double in Santos’ 2-1 league win over Vasco da Gama, boosting his hopes of making Brazil’s World Cup squad.
Before Thursday’s game, the 34-year-old last scored in December and after recently returning from knee surgery, he is still working towards peak fitness.
“Last week they said I was the worst player in the world. Today I scored two goals, and that’s what matters,” Neymar told SporTV.
“That’s football. One day you’re no good or you’re ‘retired’; the next, people say you have to go to the World Cup. “This was my third game of the year and only my second full 90 minutes. I felt some cramping at the end, but that’s just part of the process.”
