[@DrunkPhilMitchell]

Neymar's greatest failure was his attitude. The reason he left Barcelona was because he was always in Messi's shadow and that didn't play well with his ego. He couldn't just enjoy the success with the team he needed to be head of the operation. And that obviously didn't get better at PSG when he was in Mbappe's shadow most of the time while not winning anything significant internationally. If he stayed at Barca he could've been the face of the club by the time Messi left. He just needed some patience. Now I actually don't see him anymore in the WC2026 brazil squad.

[@adilsonjunior2619]

As a Brazilian, what I personally saw in Neymar's career is a reflection of our (myself included in this too) new generation of people. Neymar here has always been a great hope for our entire nation, but he let himself be carried away by fame and money, I believe that something in him broke or the passion he felt for football was gone, perhaps due to the pressure we exerted him or something like that. Neymar decided to become a pop star, that is the reality and that is and was his decision. Here in Brazil we still have people who defend him, but only children aged 10 to 17, they do everything for their little fan club to support Ney. Unfortunately, this is the reality of my country and my Brazilian team. Neymar was and is a failure.

[@giu941]

Imo social media changed a lot the relationship of people and companies here with football. Now you don't need to be a great player - be decent and charismatic and you can do some advertising on your social media to get that bag.

Neymar's injury in 2014 was truly heartbreaking. He was playing so well.

[@june2420111]

How can these so called experts who haven't worked 1% as hard as Neymar a day in their lives, say he's "faking" it? He's been playing since his teens! He's had some serious injuries, including to his vertebrae. You can't be the same after those type of injuries even after surgeries. He and only he knows how much it hurts. These athletes put their body through so much for our enjoyment and then when they don't perform they're tossed aside. They're not race horses! Poor Maradona in his old age wasn't even a millionaire and was in constant physical pain in his legs. Is it really worth it when even he, a legend, became hated in his own country? Don't be so easy to judge!

@@kamahhl: by 'flashy', do you mean 'showing off' or do you mean 'creative'? Because if you look at the highlights of Ronaldinho and Neymar's football career, I don't see Ronaldinho doing as much dribbling as Neymar does-- a sign of a showboating, look-at-me style of play. Ronaldinho's plays-- whether dribbling, passing, shooting, shielding, or even receiving the ball on this chest-- were of a wider variety, surprising, more impactful, and of a more interesting creativity.

@@Joshflemin The problem here was never the media fully, the biggest enemy in neymar's career was neymar, he was extremly enjured prone, one of the reason why messi and ronaldo dominated the way they did it is because of how rare it was for them to get injured, something that neymar did all the time specially at the crucial moments, if they guy dint spend more of his career injured or diving he might had reached the stars but he did not, neymar's biggest enemy wasnt messi, the media, money, ronno or whatever, he lacked the diciplined and commitment to stay at 100%.

Idc what ANYONE says, Neymar's 4 biggest disappointments (wc 2014 vs Colombia, 2020 Champions League Final vs Bayern, 2021 Copa America Final vs 🇦🇷 and the 2022 wc quarter final vs 🇭🇷) none of them were his fault, he was either brutally injured or Neymar tried creating chances and his teammates wasted them (Mbappé vs Neuer) he isn't like Cristiano Ronaldo who in his latter years begs for the ball so he can score a goal, or like Messi who gets painted as the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ and "could do no wrong", he is Neymar Jr, he has an innate ability to make a game of football both entertaining as well as practical, but Neymar Jr can't be surrounded by players who can't do their jobs and still manage to carry, look at Ozil for example, he was unbelievable before the 2019/20 szn, but bc Arsenal went through a poor time in terms of performances, it's Ozil's fault that the team isn't working??? Pls don't make this argument ever again smh 🤦‍♂️

[@kelvinosas6518]

If he wanted players who could do their jobs, why didn't he stay at Barca? He got injured so often becos be didn't take good care of his diet and body, stop making funny excuses, he is talented as hell, but was not disciplined enough to be counted among the greatest, a trend common to many Brazilian talents

[@mbofftheradar]

@@kelvinosas6518 he didn't stay at Barcelona bc Barcelona viewed him as second fiddle, ventricles when he scored against ALL the UCL knockout opponents in that 2015 treble winning szn (and a goal in the final) what I am saying is that blaming Neymar Jr for the team not winning is ludicrous as some of his other teammates not only miss crucial chances but get pocketed the whole game, but bc Neymar Jr didn't score, assist, or win the game, it's his fault, stop jumping to conclusions 🤦‍♂️

[@robustbottlecap]

I hate when people always call these talented, not-going-for-legacy type of guys a failure in case they're not achieving 15 UCLs or ballon d'ors or playing until 51 at the highest level. Football is one of the least attractive sports to pursue a legacy. No HoF status, no football achievement to sell as a pundit CV, not really marketable for everyday merchandise like let's say basketball shoes, and for nowadays, no statue nor banner either for a legacy you left behind. Imagine being as talented and as great as Thierry Henry to eventually be paired with a guy that has more own goals than goals as a pundit. it's pointless Neymar got the bag, have tried to give the best for the Brazil flag, and won a lot of top team achievements. Nothing more to strive for. It's not his fault that football fans today are a bunch of stats accountants and glory stock traders.

He went to the wrong team in Europe 1-2 years later than he should’ve. Had he went to United at 16-18 he would’ve played under Ferguson and he would’ve instilled some professionalism, work ethic and muscle onto him. Instead he went to Barcelona where he remained weak and learned the dark art of diving. Yes he became a better passer and dribbler but he could’ve went there at 21 after spending a couple of years at Arsenal, United or Chelsea. There is something to be said to have played with Xavi, Iniesta and Messi but he would’ve been a much more complete player having played in England. The competition is much better there too. You don’t only have to show up against RM, Atlético Madrid and maybe one other team.
