«I think the one in Qatar will be the last World Cup. I don’t know if I will have more mental strength to face football ». This is said by the superstar of Paris Saint-Germain Neymar, during the docu-series “Neymar Jr. and the line of kings” launched today on Dazn. The announcement is surprising news, especially considering the still young age of the Brazilian champion, who will tread the lawn of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at only 30 years old: “Being probably my last appearance with the national team at a world championship, I will do everything to present myself well and to win with my country. It is my biggest dream ever since I was little. And I hope to make it ».
The series tells, also through exclusive interviews, the history of Brazilian football in the last seventy years and that of Neymar, who with 69 goals scored is the second player by number of goals in green-gold behind only the myth Pele. In the film, the Brazilian ace also talks about his idols and the great champions of the past. «Ronaldinho is one of my idols. He was a wizard, with the ability to make numbers that left you speechless. I see myself a lot in him for the style of play that unites us. Starting wide to find the center of the field, trying to dribble a lot, “he said. Another point of reference was Zico. “His era left a mark. He played happily, always looking for dribbling, ”recalled Neymar.
