RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL) (ITALPRESS) – An increasingly heroic Neymar leads Santos to the brink of survival. Despite a torn meniscus in his left knee, the 33-year-old Brazilian striker once again appeared and even scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Juventude. A draw at Peixe will be enough to stay afloat on Sunday, the final matchday against Cruzeiro.
However, it could also be Neymar’s last game with Santos, as his contract expires on December 31st. “Honestly, I don’t know,” the former Barça and PSG player shrugs. “First I want to finish this season and then I’ll think about it. My priority remains Santos.” Speaking about the match, Neymar said he was “happy with these goals and for having helped the team in some way, but without my teammates I wouldn’t have been able to do it. My injury? Always prioritizing my health as an athlete, never doing anything that could harm my career, I’m trying to outdo myself to be 100%.”
