The winger of the Brazilian national team, Neymar, shared his impressions of his return to the national team after a long break.
The 34-year-old appeared on the pitch in the 76th minute of the match against Scotland, replacing Manchester United striker Matheus Cunha. After the game, the Brazilian did not hide his emotions from the long-awaited return.
"I am very happy to wear the national team shirt again after three years. I feel good physically, thank God. It was difficult to stay without playing all these days, but I was not completely inactive. I have been training a lot for 25 days to get to the matches and be in good shape. So I am very satisfied, very happy.
When I got on the pitch, it was a mixed bag of emotions. It was long days away from this shirt, away from the national team, but thank God everything turned out well and I managed to come back," Neymar said.
This world championship was the fourth in the striker's career. Previously, only three players in the Brazilian national team were able to achieve such an achievement.
For Neymar, the match against Scotland was the 129th in the Seleção shirt. He remains Brazil's all-time leading scorer and assist leader with 79 goals and 59 assists.
