According to statistics from the French media, since joining Paris in 2017, Neymar's attendance rate in the six years he has played for the team is only 54.7%.
No club can accept long-term injuries of players. The growing age and unhealed injuries have become the reasons for Paris to "abandon" Neymar.
Even so, Neymar's love for the game remains the same.
The Brazilian legend Pele once encouraged Neymar like this: "I am 82 years old. After such a long time, I hope I can inspire you to this step in some way. More importantly, I hope that your achievements will attract adults. Thousands of people follow you to challenge the seemingly impossible."
With Pele's encouragement, Neymar wiped away his tears and moved on.
As he said: "I will return with a stronger posture." In the 2026 World Cup, I look forward to seeing him again.
