The Toxic Relationship Between Neymar and Football

The Brazilian star has given a lot to football, and he has returned many pleasant moments. But it seems that in the most important moments of his career, the player has been diminished by countless injuries, in this note we will review the reason (if there is any) and the different criticisms that there are in this regard.

Last Tuesday, we observed how Neymar left the field injured once more, and the next day what everyone feared was confirmed. The player will be off at least 4 weeks due to an abductor injury. This means that he will miss the first leg and perhaps the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against his former team, FC Barcelona.

This is not an isolated case, we can remember the different injuries he has had during his career, in which he has missed great Champions League matches, and even a World Cup semi-final. Many pseudo journalists have dedicated time from themselves to create a reputation around Neymar, calling him a «diver». On the other hand, if we are critical we have to understand that because of his way of playing he is more prone to being hit, which makes him the player who receives the most fouls in the entire French league.

Speaking in particular, it is a shame not to be able to see him play more often. He is in my opinion the most talented player at least today. Yesterday, he published a message on his social networks, in which he expressed that he is fed up with the multiple injuries, and the defamation of the world press.

Neymar’s relationship with football is even more toxic than the one you reader have with your girlfriend, boyfriend, or crush, but unlike you, Neymar will not have a pleasant Valentine’s Day.

For the sake of sports and football, let’s hope that injuries respect Neymar, and that we can enjoy him for much longer.
