Neymar Hints at Brazil Retirement After World Cup Exit

Neymar Hints at Brazil Retirement

However, Neymar hinted that his Brazil career could be over after the 2-1 loss to Norway.

Furthermore, the 34‑year‑old scored a stoppage‑time penalty, but it could not save Brazil.

Consequently, Brazil fell to Norway in the round of 16, ending their World Cup hopes early.

As a result, the defeat left Neymar in tears and marked Brazil’s worst World Cup result since 1990.

Meanwhile, it also extended Brazil’s wait for a world title to 28 years by 2030.

In addition, Neymar reflected on his journey and mentioned his debut in New Jersey in 2010.

Therefore, he said he started and finished his international career at that same venue.

Consequently, if he retires, he will finish with 80 goals and 58 assists in 130 games.

Thus, those numbers show he is one of Brazil’s greatest attackers.

Finally, his club success includes many trophies, but his only senior international title was the 2013 Confederations Cup.

Moreover, his possible departure would end a memorable era for Brazilian football.

Overall, the team now prepares for a new generation of players.
