Brazil’s star player, Neymar has described the Selecao’s exit from the World Cup at the hands of Belgium as the “saddest moment” of his career.
He made this known on Instagram over the weekend, after Friday’s 1-2 loss to Roberto Martinez’s team.
The world record signing contributed two goals and an assist in five games for Brazil, which were not enough to get them to the semi finals of football’s greatest showpiece.
Reacting to the five-time Works Cup winner’s exit, Neymar said, “I can say that this is the saddest moment of my career, it is incredibly painful because we knew we could get there, we knew we had conditions to go further, to make history.
“But it was not this time. It’s hard to find the strength to play soccer again, but I’m sure God will give me strength enough to face anything, so I’ll never stop thanking God, even in defeat … because I know that your way is much better than mine I’ m very happy to be part of this team, I’m proud of all, interrupted our dream but they didn’t get it out of our head and neither of our hearts.”
