The injury last March forced Neymar to close his season well in advance with the Paris Saint-Germain jersey. The stop, the operation, the rehabilitation, and now the return to the field that is approaching. The Brazilian forward is preparing to return to the field in June, then in Russia he will be one of the stars announced in the World Cup with the Brazil squad.
In the past few hours, however, the same Neymar confessed during an interview to be afraid of his return to the field: "Nobody has more than me - said the Brazilian who has recently started to train regularly after obtaining the positive opinion of the doctors - this is one of the most difficult moments of my career up to now".
The pressure to bear and the expectations that grow with the approach of the summer tournament; Neymar had already gone through difficult moments like this just 4 years ago, during Brazil's World Cup which saw him injured against Colombia, forced to miss the rest of the tournament.
The Seleçao then exited the competition in the worst way possible at the Mineirao, with the heavy defeat suffered by Germany (7-1).
"I know the whole world is curious to see me in the field after the injury, but I'm certainly the most nervous of all," he told the 'Jornal Nacional'. In recent days, moreover, the player confessed to Zico that he had to "leave this fear aside as soon as possible to get to the World in the best way from a mental point of view".
Three months away from the field, now one of the most anticipated stars of the competition must answer this: "Everyone has been kind to me in this complicated period and I want to get back to their best. Family and friends make me happy and help me every day, even during work and tensions. In my mind, I have millions of thoughts, so I'm afraid".
