“Not everyone knows what I went through to get here…The crying is of joy, of overcoming, and a will to win.”īeside an unnecessary rainbow flick, the timing of which wasn’t too felicitous, “the crying of joy and of overcoming” remains the only highlight of Neymar’s time in Russia.

In a well-prepared prebuttal posted on Instagram, the 26-year explained what had the tears stemmed from: He wept his generally naughty eyes out on the turf where he had, by his own unusual standards, extraordinarily failed despite his late goal.įor once, he was not feeling weighed down by his self-inflicted pressure he was feeling more liberated.Įven if temporarily, the burden was off his shoulders and on the pitch, where he had himself sunk to. The yellow shirts were oozing a great degree of relief – their joy, not frustration now the most eminent feature.Īmidst the omnipresent delirium, though, was Neymar, defining what a melange of disenchantment, glee and some more disenchantment is.
