Neymar, after the elimination: “I am destroyed psychologically”

After losing on penalties to Croatia and being left out of the Qatar 2022 World Cup with Brazil, Neymar expressed his sadness through a disclaimer on his social networks. I am psychologically destroyed. This was undoubtedly the defeat that hurt me the most, which left me paralyzed for 10 minutes and right after I fell into tears without stopping. It’s going to hurt for a long time, unfortunately,” the Brazilian star wrote on his official Instagram account.The match resulted in a zero to zero during the ninety minutes, although it was full of emotions. In extra time, Neymar managed to put his team ahead after a great collective play at the end of the first half, but Bruno Petkovic’s goal in the 117th minute left the resolution of the match on penalties. There, Croatia beat Brazil 4-2.In that sense, the striker said that “we fought until the end. My teammates are proud of that because there was no lack of commitment and dedication. This group deserved it, we deserved it, Brazil deserved it. But this was not God’s will!” However, Neymar acknowledged that “it was worth every sacrifice to feel the affection of each one from inside the field. Thank you all for your support with our national team.” Finally, the Paris Saint Germain player said that “unfortunately, it did not work … It’s going to hurt for a long, long time. Thank you for all my God, you have given me everything so that I could not complain. Just thank you for taking care of me. All honor and glory are always for you, no matter the circumstances.” With the elimination of Brazil and the Netherlands, the first semifinal will be played by Croatia against Argentina next Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.
