In the match between Brazil and Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America a few days ago, striker Neymar suffered a serious injury. According to the examination results, he suffered a torn ligament and torn meniscus, requiring surgery and being out of action for at least 9 months.
This is not the first time the 31-year-old player has been in a hospital bed for a long time. In recent years, he has suffered all kinds of injuries and has spent more time away from the field than playing.
Neymar suffered a serious injury in the match between Brazil and Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
World football once had a player who was compared to having "crystal legs", that was Dutch midfielder - Arjen Robben. The reason for this title is because the midfielder who has played for many big teams in Europe is very susceptible to injuries.
Back to the case of Neymar, he was once expected to follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to dominate world football. In fact, Neymar's talent is undeniable, he brings magical performances, full of the improvisation of a pair of South American feet.
But the best he left behind was Barcelona, since joining PSG for the highest price in world football history - 222 million euros. Continuous injuries have caused Neymar to lose his physical strength and inspiration to play football, he is no longer himself.
The Brazilian striker’s problem lies in his unhealthy lifestyle. According to some friends, Neymar spends little time training, instead partying all night and traveling around the world. So, even though he is only 31 years old, he has already reached the other side of his career.
This is certainly not a surprise to football fans around the world, because before Neymar, there were a series of famous Brazilian players who fell into decline due to indulgence, most notably "Emperor" Adriano. The free-spirited personality created an emotional playing style for the Samba players, but it was also this personality that cost them their entire careers.
Regret is the common feeling of football fans because with their natural talent and excellent foundation, Neymar and Adriano should have won more glory. This will also be an obvious lesson for young stars who have just touched the halo of football.
