Nothing in my life was given or easy I always had to chase my dreams and my goals. Never wishing evil on anyone, but helping those in need. Today has become one of the hardest moments in my career... and again in a world cup 😞 I have an injury yes, it's boring, and it is going to hurt but I'm sure I'll have the chance to come back because I will do my best to help my country, my teammates and myself. Long time to wait for the enemy to knock me down like this? N E V E R ! I am a CHILD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE GOD and my FAITH is endless 🙏"

The Brazilian coach Tite expressed his confidence in the ability of Neymar, the star of the "samba dancers", to continue playing in the World Cup finals, despite his ankle injury, which he suffered in the team's opening match in the World Cup against Serbia.

Paris Saint-Germain star limped off in the last minutes of the Brazilian national team’s 2-0 victory over the Serbian counterpart, on Thursday, in the match that witnessed the brilliance of Richarlison, who scored in the second half the two goals of the team that holds the record for the number of times to win the World Cup with five titles.

Neymar, 30 years, seemed about to cry as he was being treated on the bench before pictures showed his ankle swelling on his way to the team's dressing room.

Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazilian national team doctor, confirmed that Neymar would undergo further examinations within the next 24 to 48 hours, after suffering an injury, but Tite, who revealed that Neymar played 11 minutes after his injury, confirmed the player's return to the tournament.

Tite said: He (Neymar) felt this pain throughout the game but decided to stay on the field to help his team.

Tite added: It was noticeable that he was enduring this pain during the match. He stayed 11 minutes on the field after his injury, until the moment when he could no longer continue, and was substituted.

The Brazilian coach confirmed: We are confident that Neymar will continue to play in the World Cup.

It is noteworthy that the Brazil national team, seeking to regain the world title that has been absent from it for 20 years, is at the top of the Group G standings table with 3 points, ahead of its closest opponents, Switzerland, who has the same balance of points, after its 1-0 victory over Cameroon. , in the group's first round.
