Neymar returned to Santos playing in a more withdrawn role. If I'm not mistaken, I even commented on this a few weeks ago, that for him to play at a high level again, he should sacrifice his original position and try to be either a center-forward or a playmaker in the classic number 10 style. It seems he is going to follow this positional line. He has talent, but his real problem is on the physical side; he no longer has the speed, the muscular explosiveness, and he can't take the hits on the field anymore.
