– “I would not be at the top level if I were not serious,” Neymar told YouTube channel Fui Clear. “I go out when I can, when I have time, when I have days off. There is no problem.
– “They should judge me on the pitch. My life, I do what I want, I cannot be judged, I’m free. I wouldn’t be at my level if I was not careful with my phsio. It leaves me a little irritated.
– “I like football. Playing is my favourite thing in life. I want to be remembered as one of the most authentic and truest players that ever existed. I’m real. I don’t hide anything.”
