Star forward Neymar has openly spoken about the anxiety he felt during his much-anticipated return to the Brazilian national team, marking an end to an international absence spanning nearly a thousand days. The former Santos player, known for his dazzling skills, confessed that his "heart was racing" as he stepped onto the pitch. His comeback occurred in the second half of Brazil's 3-0 triumph over Scotland. This appearance signified the conclusion of an extensive rehabilitation period, which became necessary after he sustained a severe knee injury back in 2023.
