Brazil has not won the FIFA World Cup for 20 years. Most recently he was in 2022. As a result, Neymar Jr. and his other teammates are under a lot of pressure to end the drought.
All eyes will be on whether Neymar can lead Brazil to his sixth trophy when the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off at the end of November. Former Brazilian footballer Zico is one of many who have high hopes for the 30-year-old in Qatar.
“All Seleção players have played for the biggest clubs in Europe and have had success there, so we have to be optimistic. All the big clubs are looking for Brazilian players and have them in their squads,” Zico told Goal in a recent interview.
“Real Madrid, who have won the most Champions League titles, have a lot of Brazilian players, so we have to trust these players in what to do with Seleção in Qatar. Brazil. The whole group expects a lot from Neymar at this World Cup, and for the first time in his career it looks like he will be in the best physical and technical conditions for the World Championships.”
Neymar’s World Cup victory not only cements his legacy in Brazil and makes him one of the greatest players the country has ever produced. Moreover, many pundits will criticize his way of playing the game.
The PSG star is in great shape heading into the competition as Neymar puts together a campaign that could see the Brazilian in the Ballon d’Or contenders if he plays like he does all season.
