For the first time, Neymar responds to criticism of weight gain

Brazilian football star Neymar da Silva has emerged from his silence in response to criticism that his weight has increased since the beginning of the season.

Since the beginning of the season, Neymar has appeared in a heavy weight during the summer holiday, which has made him vulnerable to criticism from both his Paris Saint-Germain club and his country’s Brazilian team.

Neymar received particularly strong criticism after appearing at a modest level during Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Chile early Friday in the South American 2022 World Cup qualifier.

In response to these criticisms, Neymar wrote on his Instagram account: “Did we play well as the Brazilian team? No, did we win? Yes, so we don’t care.”

He added in a sarcastic way: “Another note, the shirt was a Large size. I’m a normal weight already, and there’s no increase in it. Generally in the next game, I’ll order a Medium size.”

Five-time world champion Brazil tops the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup with 21 points, 6 points ahead of second-place Argentina.
