– Brazil captain Thiago Silva says we will see a “better Neymar” at this World Cup after injury hampered his past two tournaments.
– Neymar missed the 2014 semi-final with a back injury, and struggled for full fitness during the 2018 tournament after foot surgery earlier in the year.
– However, he arrives in Qatar fully fit and having scored 15 goals in 20 games for Paris St-Germain this season.

– “I think Neymar is coming into this competition in great form,” said Silva.
– “His preparation this time has been different. In 2014 he got injured just as he was playing so well, and in 2018 he came into the tournament in a different way because he had a serious injury so hadn’t played much.
– “Now with a different preparation, without any injury and any worry, we see a better Neymar.”
