Neymar really "wasted"? It's not an exaggeration to say this. When a talented player with a value of up to 220 million euros only appeared 7 times in the Saudi league and then bid farewell to his "high-paying journey," people can't help but ask: what happened to him? From peak to trough, Neymar's career has been filled with high hopes, but now it seems to have become a "replacement" of the times. After officially terminating his contract with Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, he is re-planning his future, and the most surprising choice is: returning to Santos. Is all this just to take a breath for the end of stardom, or to pay for memories? Rewind to the summer of 2023, when Neymar joined Al-Nassr of the Saudi league with a sky-high annual salary of 100 million euros, a message that almost overnight dominated the global sports headlines. At that time, the Saudi league was attracting top world players with its "big-money poaching," with Cristiano Ronaldo already on board, followed by the arrivals of Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, and others. The ambition of becoming the "sixth largest league in the world" was grand. And Neymar was undoubtedly one of the highlights of this football feast, as the core of "Paris Saint-Germain," he was expected to become the world's calling card for Saudi football. But what happened? In just over two years, Neymar only played a meager seven times for Al-Nassr. This performance is not surprising, it's not even up to par.

If you were told that someone with a 100 million euro annual salary has become the spokesperson for an "injury shelter," would you believe it? That person is Neymar! This genius who once stood shoulder to shoulder with Messi and Ronaldo has now had a short-lived experience in the Saudi league, ending in a hasty contract termination. The former "third man in football" has now become the representative of "injury-prone talents." Is it injuries that have dragged him down, or was it a mistake in his choices that became the turning point in his fate? Let's rewind to the time when Neymar was full of ambition. His talent was hailed as a gift from God to football. From Brazil's Santos team, where he first made a name for himself, to the European powerhouse Barcelona, he soared forward. There was a time when Santos fans shouted, "Football is Neymar's national art," and Barcelona opened the door to the top stage for him. During his time at Barcelona, he formed the fearsome "trident" with Messi and Suarez, their chemistry and goals flowing like clouds and water. Especially during the 2015 Champions League season, Neymar helped Barcelona win the treble in Europe. At that time, Neymar was seen as the only one capable of succeeding Messi and Ronaldo, with a strong wind at his back. However, heroes fear the thinness of beauty, and geniuses fear the accumulation of injuries. Neymar's career seems to have taken a turn after the spinal injury in the 2014 World Cup. At that time, as Brazil's top star,…
