Wonderful to be back Neymar

“Today, I managed to return after almost three years. I’m very pleased, happy, and moved.

I cried alone in the locker room because it was such a huge relief to experience all of this again.

It’s always been my dream to wear the national team jersey and play at the World Cup. Wonderful to be back.”

“I’m so happy to be wearing the national team jersey again after three years. Physically, I’m in good shape.

Obviously, it was tough being out of action for those few days, but I wasn’t completely inactive.

I’ve been training hard for almost 25 days to get ready for the games and be in good shape. I’m really happy.

It was a mix of emotions when I stepped onto the field, because it had been a long time since I’d worn this jersey, the national team jersey.

Thank God everything worked out and I was able to make my return.”

“It’s always been my dream to wear the national team jersey, play in the World Cup, and perhaps even win it.

Experiencing this is wonderful; I’m grateful to every Brazilian who cheered me on and especially to my family.”

“Vini is our key player today and is in incredible form; he’s been helping us and deciding games.

That’s important to us. That’s what I said: I’m grateful for all the support, and I’m very happy.

Now it’s the knockout stage, we need to keep winning to reach our ultimate goal. I could play 200 minutes.”
