After a fresh ankle injury he suffered against Olympique Lyon, Neymar finally opened up to the world via a social media post on his various channels. 

When Neymar fell to the ground with a new injury, we all immediately started thinking about the two previous ankle injuries he suffered in recent years. We need to remember that during those two times. The Brazilian star missed several important tournaments such as the Copa America and two UEFA Champions League knock-out stages. In fact, he barely got on the squad to play the 2018 FIFA World Cup but he wasn’t playing at the top of his game.

If Neymar has been guilty of anything over the last five years, it’s of being extremely unlucky. Critics will keep coming after him despite watching the clear evidence of the unfortunate injuries he keeps getting from reckless tackles. Yesterday’s issue came from a compatriot of his. After falling on the ground, Neymar started shedding tears because he felt the same ghosts from the past coming after him.

As a way to explain the reason he cried after getting this tackle from his compatriot, Neymar felt the need to explain his reasoning. Especially after PSG determined the problem wasn’t as serious as initially thought. The player wanted to share a glimpse of what was going through his mind when this happened. 

“Those are tears of pain, desperation, fear, anguish, surgery, stretchers, and other horrible memories. It could be worst but got protected me from something serious once again. Now I have to recover and return to play as soon as possible,” wrote Neymar on his Instagram stories.
