Brazil striker Neymar, after yesterday's match of the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup with South Korea (4: 1), spoke about his emotions in connection with the injury he received in the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the World Cup with Serbia.
Neymar“I was very scared, because after a great season, everything was going just fine for me. And to get such an injury in the very first match of the World Cup is very difficult. The other day I cried all night. My family members know what I experienced. Everything worked out, but overcoming this situation cost me tremendous efforts.
Now everything is behind, and you need to look ahead. We dream of the title of world champions, but we need to go step by step. We played four matches at the World Cup, and we can play three more - we are striving for this. We are well prepared and focused on becoming world champions, ”Neymar quotes Globo Esporte.
Recall that due to injury, Neymar missed the matches of the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, but played in the aforementioned meeting with South Korea.
