Brazil national team star Neymar spoke openly about his emotions after being included in the final squad for the 2026 World Cup. The 34-year-old Santos forward has the opportunity to play in a major tournament in the national team jersey again after a long break.
Neymar had not played for the Brazil national team since 2023 due to injuries and fitness issues. Therefore, his inclusion in the World Cup roster became a very emotional event for the player.
"I cried for several hours; achieving this result was not easy. After my name was announced, I realized that all the hardships I went through and the hard work I put in were worth it," Neymar said on Santos TV.
The player emphasized that returning to the national team always gives him a special feeling. Neymar said he feels at home with the Brazil squad and that it is difficult to explain this feeling in words.
"As I have always said, I feel at home when I return to the national team. It is hard to explain," he added.
Neymar also expressed his gratitude to everyone who helped him during this process. He said that this call-up is not just a personal achievement, but also the result of the entire team that worked on his health, safety, recovery, and preparation.
In short, for Neymar, this call-up was not just about making a list, but a symbol of a major comeback. Injuries, doubts, and difficult days are behind him. Now he is preparing to step onto the big stage with Brazil again. The dream is alive, and Neymar has not said his last word yet.
