The World Cup ended for Brazil but what happened after the elimination did not sit well with the tears that poured out across country. The Canarinha returned home but just a few hours later it was revealed that Neymar had held a big party with several of his teammates, published on various social networks of players like Anthony. Models and artists including singer João Gomes also attended.

The Brazilian had the event at his sister’s house in São Paulo, as reported by Folha de São Paulo. The confusion in Brazil comes from the fact that the party took place only a few hours after the PSG player claimed to be “completely dejected”. So much so it was announced that Neymar had permission to leave the National Team for a period of time.

From desolation to joy

The sudden and unexpected elimination against Croatia in the quarter-finals was a disaster for the Seleçao’s number 10. Hours later, in the mixed zone, Neymar acknowledged that he could not guarantee his presence in the next World Cup. “Now it would be rash to say something, but I can’t guarantee my presence in the 2026 World Cup with the national team” he said. According to L’Équipe, the Brazilian talent is considering stepping away from the five-time world champion for several months, after a disappointing tournament in which he had high hopes.

Neymar

At 30 years old, Neymar arrived in perfect shape for the World Cup and since last summer there has been a great physical and mental change regarding the PSG star. All the cameras were on him before the tournament and then again hours after, as he partied his tears away. Once again, the country has to do battle with its perception of their number one talent.
