Santos star Neymar was forced to miss his team's match against Corinthians in the Paulista Championship due to yet another injury. Although many accused him of faking an injury, a video released yesterday on the NR Sports YouTube channel shows the Brazilian visibly upset about not being able to take the field.
Neymar was so emotional that he even shed a tear while delivering a motivational speech to his teammates in the locker room before the match.
"In moments like this, it's very hard to be off the field. You have no idea what's going on in my head right now. I've tried my hardest not to show how bad I feel, but please, play for me! I wanted to be there with you. You can't imagine the despair in my heart right now. Good luck and go with God. Remember, there is no such thing as a lost ball. Work together. Let's go!" Neymar said.
Recall that the Brazilian felt discomfort during training tests, prompting the coach to leave him on the bench. It should be noted that without Neymar, Santos lost to Corinthians 1-2.
