Neymar Jr. was present to watch the Brazilian national team once again in the Copa America USA 2024. Brazil played at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas against Paraguay, in which they won 4-1 in convincing fashion. Neymar was in the stadium watching the great performance, and the Brazilians were happy to see their team win the tournament after drawing 0-0 against Costa Rica in their first match. Ahead of the game, Neymar was enjoying his time in Las Vegas, and he was also welcomed by one of the biggest teams in the NFL so he could train on his own to prepare for his return to the pitch. The team that invited him to train at their facilities was the Las Vegas Raiders. Neymar thanked the NFL franchise and said, ” I am very happy to be training here today. Thank you for opening the door for me. It’s incredible, something that I have never seen in my life before. I am very happy. Thank you for the space and hopefully next season for us we will be champions, hugs.”
Neymar continued his normal training session, which he has been working on individually. Neymar has been out of action since last October after suffering an ACL injury. The Brazilian star was not only focused on training to be fully fit to play on the pitch, but he also caught American footballs on the Raiders’ training pitch for fun.
Neymar is expected to be fully fit by September and is committed to playing with Al Hilal next season after many rumors of joining another league like the MLS at Inter Miami. His contract with the Saudi Pro League champions will expire in the summer of 2025.
Neymar’s funny moment in the Copa America
Neymar watched Brazil defeat Paraguay 4-1 in the Copa America. Vinicius Jr. scored a brace in the match, while Savinho scored as well. Lucas Paqueta scored a penalty in the second half, but he missed one in the first half. As Brazil was awarded a second penalty in the second half, Neymar got up from his seat and jokingly suggested that he take the penalty since he is normally the penalty taker of the national team.
