Brazil, the big favorites of the competition, were eliminated by Croatia in the quarter-finals of this 2022 World Cup. While many believe that Neymar will announce his retirement from the national team, Dani Alves has dropped a hint about the future of the Brazilian star.
Despite all the promises, 20 years later, Brazil fails to win another World Cup. A sixth star long awaited by fans and who really believe in it with this talented generation.
Unfortunately for the Brazilians, it is valiant Croatia who will once again be at the semi-final stage of the tournament. For Dani Alves it is not too much defeat for Neymar who will be able to get back up.
At 39, Dani Alves announces without surprises that this World Cup was the last of his career. The former FC Barcelona player has been questioned about the Neymar case. The defender believes that the history between the PSG player and the Selection is not finished.
“This World Championship was the last, the time has come for me to say it. But I don’t think it will be the same for Neymar, he’s fantastic, Brazilian football needs him to continue.” said Alves after the defeat to Brazil.
However, the main interested party was particularly evasive about his future speaking on Brazilian television following this elimination experienced as a tragedy in the country.
“My last World Cup? I do not know. It’s not a good idea to talk now, I’m still hot, I don’t have clear ideas. To say it’s over would be hasty. But I don’t guarantee anything either. confided the 30-year-old player who has to make a decision about his future in the selection.
In 2026, during the World Cup shared between the United States, Mexico and Canada, Neymar will turn 34. The Brazilian could very well be present if he decides to continue. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to recover from a new disappointment with his national team.
