The Brazilian star Neymar has expressed his firm intention to continue his football career until his physical performance no longer allows him to. Recently, the 33-year-old player renewed his contract with Santos, extending it until the end of this year, with the possibility of extending it until the 2026 World Cup.
The Passion for Football: Neymar’s Engine
In an interview conducted by family and friends, Neymar revealed the reasons that drive him to continue playing professionally.The footballer emphasized that his passion for the sport is inexhaustible and that he will continue playing as long as he feels that desire and can perform at the level it demands. Neymar returned to Santos at the beginning of this year, after ending his contract with Al Hilal. During his time in the Saudi Professional League, injuries kept him off the field, including an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in October 2023 while playing with the Brazilian national team. This year, recurring muscle injuries have limited Neymar to three goals and three assists in 15 matches with Santos, preventing him from returning to the national team.What drives me is the love I feel for football. The desire to play, to be on the field, that’s what motivates me every day; to wake up, to train. The love I feel for football will never end. It will be with me for the rest of my life.

Reviews and Perspectives: Neymar’s Vision
Neymar has been the subject of criticism for his lifestyle. The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player addressed these criticisms.I can’t control what others think. It’s hard to respond to people who don’t understand anything about our lives… Judging is easy, but understanding what’s behind it is difficult… I’ve spent my whole career a little sad about this, about people who don’t know me talking about me and not just about football.
