Following the unexpected elimination of the Seleçao in the quarterfinals against Croatia in penalty kicks (4-2), the star of the Brazilian national team Neymar da Silva Santos Junior (30 years), was completely disconcerted, disappointed, even considering retiring from international football, after failing to reach three consecutive World Cup finals (2014, 2018, 2022). He shed tears profusely after this new disillusionment in Qatar.

Encouraged by King Pele, his mentor and his idol Luiz Nazario da Lima “el fenomeno”, present in Qatar in all matches of the seleçao, from the stands, Neymar has reversed these previous statements.

In a note made public on Sunday, the playmaker of Paris St Germain, was keen to send a letter to his now former coach Tite, to express his gratitude, for having been good to him in good times and in the worst moments, during his six years at the head of the seleçao.

“Thank you Tite for your advice, for the technical and tactical concepts that you have instilled in us as a teacher, I am grateful to you for everything and of everything, I admire you so much”. “I’m not going to stop here, I hope to start again on new forms for the happiness and pride of the Brazilian people who have been with us throughout the campaign” continued Neymar.
