Speculation intensified following his absence from the Santos match against Mirassol FC in the Brazilian Championship, due to muscle fatigue.When I play injured they say I’m wrong. If I decide to think of myself, I’m also wrong. If I take care of myself, I’m wrong. And if I go out and play in pain, too.

This meeting was especially relevant, as the presence of Brazil’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was expected to evaluate the player for the upcoming international friendlies.
Faced with criticism, Neymar questioned those who claim to know his situation without being close to his environment.After missing the match against Mirassol, the forward will have a new opportunity to demonstrate his physical condition next weekend when Santos faces Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. The attacker, who returned to Santos in 2025, has not played for the Brazilian National Football Team since October 2023, when he suffered a serious knee injury that kept him off the field for several months. Meanwhile, the coaching staff headed by Ancelotti has made it clear that they will only call up players who are fully recovered for the FIFA World Cup 2026.There are people who act as if they are with me every day and start inventing stories as if they were the absolute truth.
