Neymar received praise after passing the ball through a “forest” of Bolivian players. Many people regret that this player went to Saudi Arabia to play too early.
Neymar returned to the Brazilian team for the first time since September last year when he appeared in the match against Bolivia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Al Hilal striker played great, contributing a double to help the Selecao win with a score of 5-1.
Not only that, Neymar also left an impression with his spectacular dribble. At the end of the first half, “Little Pele” received the ball from midfield. This player accelerated, passed a series of Bolivian players, and entered the 5m50 area. Unfortunately, he could not defeat Bolivia’s goalkeeper Viscarra in a face-to-face situation.
Witnessing this ball, many people praised Neymar’s talent. Below are a few typical comments on Twitter.
“Neymar showed that he is the most technical and skillful player in the world at this time.”
“I don’t understand why people hate Neymar. He is one of the best players in the world.”
“Neymar is still the same. Outstanding talent. It’s a shame he left Europe.”
“Neymar is still capable of playing in Europe. Why did you go to Saudi Arabia so early?”.
With two goals against Bolivia, Neymar surpassed “King of Soccer” Pele to become the top scorer for the Brazilian team. Currently, the striker born in 1992 has 79 goals, two more than the late Brazilian legend.
In the next match in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Neymar and his teammates will face Peru.
