Neymar Jr. officially announced that he would no longer play for the Brazilian team after Santos' win at the Copa Sudamericana. On Tuesday evening, after Santos defeated Universidad Central from Venezuela, Neymar announced that his time with the national team was over. He confirmed this more clearly, after hinting that this match could be the last time he plays for the Brazilian team.
"My time with the national team is over," Neymar told reporters in the media area. He also shared: "I wrote history and was always proud to fight for the country's flag. I devoted my blood and life for it, but now I don't want to continue."

Neymar made his debut for the Brazilian national team on August 10, 2010, at just 18 years old, in a friendly match against the US team, where he scored in the first match. Throughout his career, Neymar made a total of 130 appearances for the national team and scored 80 goals, becoming the highest goal scorer in Brazil's history, surpassing the legendary Pelé with 77 goals.
Recently, Neymar has suffered many injuries, and the instability in his performance has made him the center of discussion before the World Cup. Coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to call him up, but in the tournament, Neymar could not make the difference as expected. In the match against Norway, he scored a goal from the penalty spot, but could not help the team pass the round.
Neymar's decision to leave the national team was not only a turning point in his personal career but also a memorable moment for Brazilian football, where he left a deep impression in the hearts of fans. However, with his new life, Neymar will likely focus on his club career, where he continues to play for Santos and aim for further success in his career.

What happens next
With Neymar leaving the national team, the Brazilian team will need to find new talents to fill the void he left. Coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to reconsider his strategy and squad for upcoming tournaments. At the same time, Santos FC will likely continue to rely on Neymar in club matches, as he remains an important player in the squad.
