Neymar reappears with a recital, a double and a provocative celebration

On July 5th the World Cup for Brazil and in turn the great dream of Neymar. The elimination before Norway It was a terrible blow for all Brazilians, but especially for Ney, who was surely playing his last World Cup match.

That defeat affected him so much that the following days he was more absent than usual on social networks and several Brazilian media even said that he could be considering his immediate retirement. After two weeks of a kind of rest in which there was a lot of criticism, especially for having been seen playing poker, he returned to doing what he does best: dancing on the field of play with the ball.

Santos disappointed by not getting past a draw at home against Chapecoense (2-2), the outstanding bottom of Serie A, but the former Barça and PSG player delivered with two goals and a recital.

The Santos captain, who has a contract until the end of the year with the club he loves, put the team ahead with a shot off the post far from the goal’s reach after a good one-two with Barreal inside the area. The captain took advantage of the opportunity to shake off all the accumulated tension and with a provocative celebration dedicated to those who had talked about his recent poker games. He had previously received a yellow card for pushing an opponent several times after making a tough tackle.

In the second half Chapecoense reacted and with two goals in less than ten minutes managed to turn the score around. They held the score at 1-2 until just before added time, at which point Neymar did not forgive from the penalty spot and scored the final 2-2. In the stands his great friend Rafael Leao was going crazy.
