Brazil was defeated by Croatia in the penalty shootout in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022. With this defeat, Brazil’s dream also broke.
Brazil is out of the FIFA World Cup 2022. In the quarter-finals, Croatia showed the way out to the team adorned with Neymar in the penalty shootout. After this defeat, there has been a panic in Brazil. Brazil’s coach Tite has resigned immediately after the defeat, but this uproar in Brazil is not only because of the coach, but also because of Neymar. Neymar is retiring from international football, this thing has started happening in every corner of the world and the reason behind the talk of Neymar’s retirement is also his statement.
Nothing is guaranteed
Talking to ESPN, 30-year-old Neymar said that to be honest, I do not know. I think it is not right to talk because of this moment. Maybe I’m not thinking straight. To say that this is the end is itself too early, but I do not guarantee anything. Let’s see what happens next.This World Cup is also being considered as his last World Cup because he will be 34 years old by the 2026 World Cup. In such a situation, it is being said that this could prove to be his last World Cup.
Neymar was injured in the beginning
Neymar had given his team an edge by scoring a tremendous goal in the quarter-finals, but he could not win his team. Croatia won 4-2 in the penalty shoot-out after the match was tied at 1-1. This World Cup was nothing special for Neymar anyway. Neymar was injured in the match after opening the campaign with a win over Serbia, and then made his return in the Round of 16 match against South Korea.
