The Brazilian professional soccer player Neymar Jr. made big headlines with an interview at DAZN. After the 2022 World Cup, the Paris Saint-Germain winger will probably end his career in the Selecao.
The Brazilian soccer superstar Neymar Jr. has brought a withdrawal from the national team into play as part of the DAZN documentary Neymar and the Line of Kings. In an interview, the PSG attacker said the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be his last. Neymar justified this statement with the great psychological demands that his career would have brought with it in recent years.

“I think this will be my last World Cup. I think so because I don’t know if I still have the strength in my head to continue to deal with football”, explained Neymar, who was visibly emotional at these words. He’ll be accordingly “give everything to be ready for my country. To make my biggest dream come true since I was a kid. I hope I can do it.”
Will Neymar end his career soon?
Neymar’s statements are likely to meet with surprise, incomprehension and horror among many Brazilian fans. The superstar is 29 years old, at the World Cup in Qatar he would be 30 and therefore probably in a position to play at the 2026 World Cup. In addition, Neymar’s statements also suggest that he might want to end his entire football career in the foreseeable future – including his involvement with PSG, where he is under contract until 2025.
Neymar is considered to be the great hope of the current generation of Selecao. The largest football nation in the world is hoping for a World Cup title from him so that he can finally be accepted into the select group of the best Brazilian footballers of all time. In its two previous tournaments, however, Brazil only made it to the semi-finals (2014) and quarter-finals (2018).
