Neymar’s star keeps rising! After leading Brazil impressively in the World Cup, he’s now been given the captain’s armband by Dunga for the friendly against Colombia.
It’s interesting because Dunga used to be quite critical of Neymar, but this move shows a clear vote of confidence and perhaps a fresh start between them.
The big question now is whether Neymar will keep the captaincy long-term or if Thiago Silva will reclaim it once he’s back from injury. Facing Zuniga again will definitely add some spice to that friendly!
