After Injury Delayed Saudi Debut, Angry Neymar Jr ‘Irritated’ at Teammate’s Dangerous Tackle During Brazil Camp

Amidst a string of injuries and delays in his debut for Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, Neymar Jr. continues to pique the attention of many. His inclusion in the Brazil national squad adds further intrigue to his situation despite questions about match fitness. Furthermore, a recent incident involving a dangerous tackle left him visibly ‘irritated’ during a training session in the Brazil camp.

Neymar‘s journey to Al Hilal began with a setback. In February 2023, while playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), he sustained an ankle injury that hindered his recovery process. As a result, PSG put his participation in competitive matches on hold, allowing only a single preseason friendly before his staggering $418M transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Neymar Jr. ‘Irritated’ by Teammate’s Dangerous Tackle?

In a recent training video, Neymar practiced with his Brazilian teammates when Richarlison, the Tottenham Hotspur forward, attempted a tackle on the already injured Ney. Opinions on the incident differ. Some claim that Neymar visibly got irritated by Richarlison’s challenge during training, while others argue that it was simply a playful exchange between teammates.

Richarlison’s fondness for Neymar is well-documented. He paid tribute to his idol by getting a tattoo featuring Brazilian legends Ronaldo Nazario and Neymar himself. This display of admiration is a testament to the impact Neymar has had on soccer players worldwide.

Off the training pitch, Neymar Jr. is making headlines with his comments about his time at PSG, where he claimed that he and Lionel Messi “lived through hell” during their tenure together at the club.

Brazilian’s turbulent relationship with PSG

Neymar‘s journey from PSG to Al Hilal was marked by tension and strained relations. He and Lionel Messi experienced a turbulent period at Paris Saint-Germain, with the Champions League exit leading to jeers and boos from PSG fans. Back in 2021, Messi signed up with PSG for two years to help them win the big UEFA Champions League. Despite a spectacular welcome, his debut season saw him struggle, scoring only six goals in Ligue 1.

The seemingly perpetual saga began in 2011 when Qatari Sports Investment took ownership of PSG, aiming for European success. Domestically, PSG dominated, but their European aspirations remained unfulfilled despite high-profile acquisitions.
