Despite being unable to play due to an injury, Neymar continued to be an important figure for Brazil in the opening match of the World Cup against Morocco.
The 34-year-old was seen throughout the match enthusiastically supporting his teammates from the bench as Brazil looked to get back into the game after Morocco’s early goal.
According to footage released from the stadium, Neymar addressed the team during the break, giving words of motivation to Carlo Ancelotti’s players at a difficult moment in the match.
Despite his absence on the pitch, the former Brazilian captain’s presence was felt throughout the evening, as he continued to support the team in their efforts to obtain a positive result.
In addition to his commitment with the team, Neymar also attracted attention off the field. The Brazilian star was seen in the company of famous American rapper, Travis Scott, with whom he exchanged conversations and took pictures during the event.
Although he continues to recover from injury, Neymar remains one of the most important figures in the Brazilian camp, contributing with his experience and leadership even when he cannot help the team on the field of play.
