Neymar is set to take a well-deserved break after a busy and successful season. After a final match for a charitable cause, the Brazilian striker, who played a total of 5910 minutes during the 2012-2013 season with Santos and the Seleção, will be putting away his football boots for some rest.
Having undergone successful tonsil surgery, Neymar emerged as the player who spent the most time on the pitch during the season, accumulating over 65 matches. After his standout performances in the Confederations Cup with the Brazilian national team, where he was recognized as the best player in the competition, Neymar is expected to join FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou on July 29.
However, he won’t return to action until August 2 with his new team. This break will likely provide him with the opportunity to recover, recharge, and prepare for the upcoming challenges with FC Barcelona. Fans will be eager to see how Neymar integrates into his new club and continues to showcase his skills on the pitch.
