Neymar was harmed four years prior and missed the semi-last as Brazil were embarrassed 7-1 by Germany on home soil. Damage again debilitated his investment in the current year’s competition with the PSG pro breaking a metatarsal in February.
Yet, the supposed Real Madrid exchange target is fit and raring to go, netting as Brazil beat Austria 3-0 of every a warm-up coordinate. That was his 55th universal objective and draws Neymar level with Romario at joint-third in Brazil’s unsurpassed goalscoring diagrams.
What’s more, having felt deplorability four years prior, the 26-year-old has conceded he is always thinking about lifting the trophy this year. “You need to trust, you dream,” Neymar said.
“You can talk, you’re Brazilian and you can dream; we’re imagining to an ever increasing extent. Envisioning isn’t taboo.” Brazil have won the World Cup five times, with the remainder of these coming in 2002 in Japan and South Korea.
From that point forward, they have been thumped out in the quarter-finals twice before their fourth-put complete in 2014. Neymar stowed four objectives in that competition before his back damage against Colombia in the last-16.
He will would like to add to his count in Russia, with Brazil confronting Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia in GroupE .A solid execution would add to hypothesis encompassing his future with Neymar apparently despondent at PSG with Real Madrid reputed to circle.
