When Brazil steps onto the pitch, all eyes are on Neymar—and teammate Rodrygo isn’t shy about why. 🌟 The Real Madrid star called Neymar 'our best player' and stressed his importance in Brazil’s hunt for a record sixth FIFA World Cup title during an ESPN interview this week.
'We Need Him Back' 🔄
Rodrygo didn’t hold back: 'Anyone can see how much he’s missed. Having Neymar healthy…is what we all want.' The 32-year-old forward has been sidelined since tearing his left knee ligaments during a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Uruguay in October 2023. His absence hit hard—Brazil lost three qualifiers in a row before Rodrygo’s clutch goal secured a shaky 1-0 win over Ecuador last week. ⚡
Race Against Recovery Time ⏳
With Neymar in the 'final stages' of rehab, fans are asking: Can he return in time to reignite Brazil’s momentum? The team’s recent struggles without their talisman speak volumes. 🗣️ As Rodrygo put it: 'We want him back as soon as possible.' Will this dynamic duo bring home the trophy? The world is watching. 👀
