Do you guys saw this:

Quote

Palmeiras president Leila: “Neymar will not join Palmeiras, this club isn’t a medical department”.

“I want someone who will come to join immediately, who can play tomorrow if the manager wishes”.

“I won’t accept us signing a player who’s unfit to play”.

Zero lies but also zero respect for Neymar. The same idea could have been formulated in a much more correct way.
It's funny that literally this was discussed here the other day and the same thoughts were expressed. I wonder how long Neymar's "career" will last given that many people are starting to think like this.

In my opinion, the situation is not good for him. This is probably because during the time he was injured, he was constantly involved in controversies, so the Brazilian teams don't want him. For example, Durcesio Mello, who is the president of Botafogo, said that Neymar ruined his career and that Botafogo would not sign Neymar. Maybe if another Brazilian team signed Neymar and he didn't get involved in controversies, he could go back to being a great player and could end his career in a good way, like Messi and Ronaldo are doing. Many famous Brazilian players ended their careers badly. There are even cases of great Brazilian players from the past who are now being convicted in court for sexual abuse crimes. Parties with women have been one of the biggest ways of destroying players' careers.

Yes, no matter how much people deny stereotypes or consider them "unfair", "offensive", etc., but the fact remains - for players from some regions, discipline remains an unattainable bar. Only a few are able to remain professionals for many years, but the majority, having achieved fame and money, have several bright seasons and then retire early (compared to such mutants as Modric/Ronaldo). Neymar is of course the most extreme example - he had the talent to become a genius, but in fact he realized very little of what he could.
