Many journalists talked about Neymar’s transfer: he is the biggest wasted genius player in football history.
Live broadcast on August 16 recently, Brazilian journalists and French journalists gave their own opinions on Neymar’s gold rush to Saudi league at the age of 31.
Fernando Callas, a Brazilian journalist from Reuters’s Spanish branch, said: “For me, Neymar is the biggest disappointment in football history, not only Brazil, but also the whole world. He is the greatest wasted genius in football history.”
“For many people, if we compare him with tennis, he is like Djokovic, between Nadal and Federer, the problem is that Neymar eventually became koergauss. He had the potential to win a great victory, but in the end it was still an extravagant hope.”
“In my opinion, the ‘movie end’ of Neymar’s career seems predictable. To my surprise, going to Manchester United Yogueta or back to Barcelona may win the Golden Globe Award.”
Gustav Hoffman, a Brazilian journalist with ESPN in Spain, said: “We have seen his incredible matches, but he has never achieved the consistency and regularity required to become the best player in the world. In my opinion, Neymar’s personal life has never been a necessary life for a professional athlete who wants to become better. Many colleagues in the industry said that he was very tired when he arrived at the training ground because he often stayed up late to play poker.”
“I didn’t expect Neymar to play in Saudi Arabia at the age of 31, maybe 34 or 35…… But not at this age. My feeling is that he no longer wants all the pressure and people’s expectations for him. Now he just wants to enjoy life and he will earn a lot of money (net 0.2 billion euros in two years) to do this. Maybe when Paris fans went to his house to criticize him…… I think there were many changes in Neymar’s mind that day.”
Lauren Perlin of the Paris newspaper added: “For me, Neymar’s time in Paris was not a failure. When he plays football, he often performs well or very well, but the fans resent him because he has been injured many times. They think this is the result of his bad style.”
“In terms of business and popularity, Neymar made a huge leap in Paris. The club had never had such a star, but his injury and absence gave people a huge sense of frustration.”
Jose Barroso of the team newspaper pointed out: “His first two years in Paris were crazy. In his view, everything was possible. But the fact is that he didn’t realize all the expectations of people for him, but he was the best player in Paris in the Champions League in the 2019/20 season, but he lacked some luck.”
Marcus Alves, a freelance journalist working with BBC, commented: “Neymar’s most frustrating thing is not his lack of sports achievements in his career, but that he is 31 years old, never gives people the impression of maturity and control of their own steps.”
“He is undoubtedly the most talented player emerging in Brazil in the past two decades, but either because of injuries-but many people were injured, and his life outside the stadium, or because of his decision, he moved to Paris, and his performance was far lower than expected. For those who have given up football but may not know it, going to Saudi Arabia is a perfect ending.”
