Brazil was eliminated from the World Cup by Croatia in the quarter-finals after a poor penalty shootout. The biggest Brazilian star, Neymar, broke down in tears after the match, and the next day he took to social media with an emotional message in which he admitted that he was broken. Neymar announced today with a new message in which he writes again about the pain after the relegation from Croatia:
“The defeat still hurts a lot, we were so close. So close. Unfortunately or fortunately, I have not yet learned to lose. Defeats make me stronger, but they hurt too much and I’m still not used to it. In case, we have to move on. Our life makes us go on, even if it hurts and the wound takes a long time to heal. We have to move on.”
“Once again I want to thank the Brazilian people for their support and love, to hear from you that we fought, we gave ourselves to the end, it comforts our pain. Thank you Qatar for everything. The tournament was wonderful. Brazil wanted to be crowned, but by God’s fate it was not. Let’s move on. It’s time to enjoy with families, friends and recharge because this loss will be very hard to live with. It still hurts a lot.”
