That’s so sad. Oct and Fed are cursed
Just Brazilian things. It’s rare for a top Brazilian forward to stay in a top league after 30. All for different reasons but Ronaldo , Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano, and now Neymar.
But Neymar especially was playing tons of games at like 15-16 years old.
Well this is depressing
Probably cried like a child at each one too. Emotionally unstable idiot.
This is so tragic to me, I remember say to myself that he wasn’t injury prone at all before 2018 since he always seemed to bounce back after being clattered all the time, dude was alway in the top 10 most fouled any given year :( His foot never was the same after the first injury

Dude trashed his body and parties too hard.
Absolutely no pity
Normally I don’t say stuff like this, but who wants pity from an American soccer fan bro
I guess at some point his lifestyle and diet have had consequences on his longevity.
People overestimate the impact of diet and lifestyle and underestimate genetics & just plain luck when it comes to injuries. Some people just have extremely resilient bodies and some people people bodies just can’t take the stress.
As a software engineer, I’ve seen people who take frequent breaks, maintain good posture, do yoga etc struggle with RSI and others can sit on a chair for 12 hours with almost no breaks and be completely fine.
He got older and he became more of a target.
Insone think he’s injury prone, he just get hit a lot more then then other players. He’s hunted in the field.
The bugger reason is his lack of focus on fitness and partying style, there is no reason he would get more hit than most.
Messi gets hit as often or even more and never picked up the same injuries.
That always seemed to be a mystery to me that messi is always so healthy. I would love an expert to chime in as to what the difference is.
Extremely strong Core strength. Ronaldo has it and Messi has it.
In basketball. LeBron james and Steph curry have it too.
And Neymar is Brazilian. The refs have different tanks in fouls when the player is Brazilian.
body fortified by years of hgh
Because his body wasn’t producing enough of it like regular people.
Educate yourself.
He’s smaller so people don’t hit as hard. People should have seen Ronaldo in EPL pre Madrid. He was getting hacked so hard.
Messi is blessed in terms of genetics, very professional, and also walks less than the keeper in a lot of matches he participates. His playstyle with nearly 0 defensive duties certainly helped his longevity

He isn’t Haaland, Mbappe or a random 9, he actually plays in the middle of the pitch and falls back consistently. I think the main reason he stayed healthy apart from being professional is because he could just dribble and move faster and more efficiently than anyone else so he just avoided being physically dominated by other players going after his legs.
Has nothing to do with the fact that he gets brutally tackled constantly.
He was literally kicked 3 times in a row in that january 2019 injury mentioned in the picture, Ligue 1 is a butchers league.
October and February
Halloween and Carnavale
I think there’s some sister birthday thing which was prevalent back in the day
11th of March, so February checks out
Neymar strikes me as the type of person who will completely snap once his football career is over and he has to retire
Neymar mentally retired years ago
he’s literally a massive gamer and loves CS:Go, playing poker etc. he has a well balanced love for football as he has tons of other interests outside of the game
Which makes me respect the general fitness of Ronaldo and Messi even more. Flamboyant dribblers do not have long selves life in this age.
ronaldo hasn’t completed a dribble in a decade
(still very impressive fitness of course, no argument there)
What is frustrating is, I, ME, I never knew when Neymar really got injured, because there was so much diving and all the bullshit. Really sad to see him out with an ACL, speedy recovery.
February every 2 years was the worst man. Right in time for the UCL round of 16.
He hasn’t looked like he’s really been in proper shape in awhile. I could see this coming.
He’s not in a proper shape since his Barca days.
Anthony Davis of football
Football is a more dangerous sport than boxing, in a way
I understand why PSG got rid of him.
Watch them play and without him.
It’ll change your mind.
