Neymar has officially confirmed his retirement from the Brazil national team following a disappointing 2026 World Cup. He recently took the opportunity to hit back at recent media reports claiming he has been bullying younger teammates in the Santos dressing room.
Announcing that his time with the national team is over, Neymar revealed that he feels fulfilled because he gave his blood, sweat and life for his country.
The former Barcelona forward added that he’ll end his Brazil career knowing that he fought for his nation till the very end.
His words, “My time with the national team is over. I made history, I was very happy, I gave my blood, my life, I always fought for the yellow jersey, but now I don’t want to anymore.”
On his Santos controversy, “It’s sad and annoying, but it’s not my fault. These stories reach a lot of people.
I spoke after the match, demanded better, and said we couldn’t afford to be so slack. You can’t go giving away a draw like that, with all due respect to Chapecoense.
That’s all I said. I said we’d get our rematch against them next year, if you know what I mean.
As captain, I’ve got every right to say that. Lucas VerÃssimo and Gabigol spoke up too.”
