It took him a while but it appears Neymar finally changed his lifestyle in a dramatic manner for the benefit of his performance.
The clues suggest that Neymar’s PR team finally got through to him, he is making dramatic changes to his lifestyle. After his most recent injury, the criticism hit him harder than ever before and he decided to make some necessary changes. The player understands this might be one of his last chances to prove everybody wrong about his success. As part of his one-month recovery, journalist Isabella Pagliari reported that Neymar got himself into a vegan diet in order to lose some weight.
To those who remember, the best Neymar we saw was the one that was quick on his feet at all times. If he ever lost that speed, his career would take an instant turn for the worst. During today’s training session for PSG, there were clear signs of a lighter player on the pitch. But there’s another aspect that Neymar changed about his life.
No more social media controversies.
One of the aspects that were hitting him the most are his social media antics. One time it was a scandal related to some pop star. Another was his most recent love affair with someone famous. He was also heavily criticized for going to sleep late everyday playing video games or staying active on social media. Since his most recent injury, all Neymar worries about is his recovery and his healthy lifestyle.
Suddenly, his daily posts have very little to do with anything other than football. Mauricio Pochettino expects him to play on Saturday against Lille in a crunch match for the Ligue 1 title. Neymar is more than ready to get that last chance he wants in order to silence all his critics. Can he handle the pressure?
