Neymar’s future with the Brazil national team

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, does not need any special introduction, as he is currently one of the best footballers in the world and an absolute star to fans and audiences. There is no need to appraise his performance, skills, techniques and styles, as well as his experience because those who follow his professional football career already know these and those who don’t follow him, have certainly heard about his qualities and his top appearances. More to this, there is no need to elaborate how popular Neymar is among bettors, as he spices ‘things up’ with his every appearance, triggering the interest of punters who wager at online sportsbooks analyzed at Allbets TV. From a betting perspective, Neymar is one of the most popular footballers to gather bets both in volume and in value.

 

Neymar in the Brazil national team

The Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil forward has built a brilliant, astonishing career with his powerful performances and his unique appearances. He is so popular at the moment, that he is considered to be not only a top football player, but a highly influential sports star too! Although some would agree that his presence in the Brazil national team is not in fact so much reflective and illustrative of his exceptional football skills and experience, especially regarding the fact that he has not seen any huge titles so far, Neymar continues to be a valuable resource for the team. He has made 119 appearances with the team and he has scored 74 goals in those appearances, but he hasn’t experienced any significant, distinctive outright win all this time. In 2019 Brazil won the Copa America, but Neymar was down with an injury and he was off the entire tournament. No matter what however, Neymar is in the second place of the top goalscorers of all time in Brazil.

 

Neymar announces to team-mates he is leaving the national team

For many people, Neymar has yet to give a lot to the national team, being one of the top football players across the world, and so, it came quite as a shock that he has decided to leave the national team after the end of the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, which is going to take place in the upcoming months.

 

The No.10 shirt

Neymar has told his Brazil team-mates his plans about retiring from international football, while he has also informed them that he has chosen the player who will inherit his No. 10 shirt. The iconic No. 10 shirt, which was emblematic of Pele, has also been worn by some of the best footballers in the world: Ronaldinho, Kaka, Rivaldo and Zico. Now worn by Neymar, the No. 10 shirt is going to be handed to another player. The No. 10 shirt has a very strong symbolic meaning for the team, as it has been marked by success, unique performances and rising football careers.

 

Apparently, the Brazilian 21-year-old Rodrygo said in an interview with PodPah via ESPN, that Neymar has announced his plan to leave the national team and has promised him the shirt! Quoting Neymar, Rodrigyo said “I am already leaving the national team and 10 is yours”!

 

The Real Madrid’s forward Rodrygo is now a rising star, admitted and recognized not only by Neymar but by other top footballers such as Zinedin Zidane. Handing over the No. 10 shirt to Rodrygo, Neymar essentially raises the expectations for the young football player! If all this turns out to be true and Neymar leaves the national team, we’ll be waiting to see whether the 21-year-old forward will shine just as the others have done in that shirt!
