The trigger was speculation about his fitness. However, Neymar made it clear how difficult the situation is for him: “Since so many people are coming up with theories about what’s going on with me: Nothing is going on.”

The 34-year-old describes his personal dilemma as follows: “If I play while injured, I’m making a mistake. If I take it easy, I’m making a mistake,” he explained, summing up his frustration: “It’s very hard to get it right.”

He is especially annoyed by so-called insider reports. Some people close to him would “make up stories” and present them “as if they were the absolute truth.” Clearly irritated, Neymar states: “It’s very complicated to be me.”
