Neymar's comeback and Brazil's attack are all alive! After the goal, he went to the stands and hugged himself.
According to ICphoto, Neymar is playing against South Korea.
Brazilian coach Tate is also very clear that the World Cup has entered the knockout stage and there can be no mistakes. So as long as Neymar can meet the minimum requirements for playing, he will not let the offensive core of the team continue to sit on the sidelines. As a result, Neymar's comeback brought Brazil, which had a tepid offensive end in the group stage, to life completely, leading the South Korean team by four goals in the first half and locking in the tickets for the quarter-finals. Neymar also scored 7 goals on penalties in the World Cup, second only to Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappé and Muller among active players.
Many fans were worried before the game.
Will South Korea adopt "killing tactics" against Neymar?
For Neymar's comeback, South Korean coach Paulo Bento also showed a very helpless attitude before the game. He said: "If it is better to let Neymar play, then we are too hypocritical!"
This morning's game, the outside world is also very concerned about how the Korean team will defend Neymar. After the first group match in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022, "Korean antics" became a hot entry on social media. In that match with Uruguay, although South Korea drew the opponent, South Korean players pulled people, pushed, locked their necks and flew shovels, which caused heated discussion among fans.

Korean players have always been famous for their fighting spirit on the court, but the positive side of fighting is a lot of fouls. As early as 1986 World Cup against Argentina, Diego Diego Maradona was shoveled all over the ground by Korean players. At that time, the media commented: "diego maradona was knocked down by Koreans again and again."
Therefore, before the final of 1/8 between Brazil and South Korea, Duan Xuan, a famous football commentator, said on his personal social media: "If Neymar plays this game, I am still worried. South Korea will probably invade him at all costs. I hope I won't get hurt again. "
Neymar was fouled nine times after playing only one group match in this World Cup, which also set a record for a player to be fouled in a single game in the first round of the World Cup, and paid the price of serious ankle injury and missing two consecutive group matches. In the past three World Cups, Neymar was the player who was fouled the most-53 times!
At half-time, the score fell behind.
Koreans also forgot to "strangle" Neymar.
But the concerns of these fans seem to be somewhat redundant. In this morning's game, Neymar was actually knocked down from behind by a Korean player in the 9th minute. Prior to this, Brazil had just scored a goal by vinicius through a quick wing combination. In the process of this goal, Neymar caught the opponent's defensive power in the middle and passed the ball to vinicius's foot which was unmarked at the back point.
Soon, Rishalison created another penalty opportunity, and Neymar scored a goal, which was his first goal in this World Cup. The total number of personal World Cup goals reached seven. At the same time, Neymar became the third player in Brazilian football history to score in three World Cups, followed by Pele and Ronaldo!
Interestingly, after Neymar scored, he not only danced with his teammates, but also ran to the edge of the stands to hug and celebrate with Oliver, a "Neymar imitator" who has been very popular on various video platforms recently. This drama of "True and False Neymar Combination" will surely become a much-told story in the World Cup.
Neymar and "Neymar imitator" Oliver celebrate.
10 minutes later, they are two goals behind. Brazil's blitzkrieg forced the North Koreans to step by step, and they had no intention to implement Neymar's so-called "strangulation" tactics. As a result, the Korean team in their nest was calmly countered by five-star Brazil. After that, Brazil scored two more goals by Risalesen and Paquita. Neymar also played an important role in planning and organizing the fourth objective.
With a big lead, they didn't replace Neymar at half time. He obviously hopes that Neymar can find the feeling of the game as much as possible through this game. Neymar is also constantly adjusting its state. In the 6th1minute, his beautiful straight plug almost helped Rafinha to expand the lead again, but the latter's powerful shot was blocked by South Korean goalkeeper Jin Chengkui. Until the 80th minute, Tate replaced Neymar with Rodrigo.
In fact, Neymar obviously hasn't reached his best level in this game, but even so, he still makes the Brazilian team's attack smoother and more blooming, which may be the most "scary" place for the Brazilian team-to what extent can Neymar, who has reached the peak and tried his best on the court, help the Brazilian team?
