Neymar was mentally devastated after failing in the World Cup in Qatar. He was so broken that the next World Cup was far away, and there was doubt whether he would ever play for Brazil.

But Neymar is desperate to forget the bad memories and turn around again. However, he did not live up to expectations for PSG after returning from injury. His position at the club has been further shaken by falling out with PSG sporting director Luis Campos after the latest defeat against Monaco. With that controversy raging, PSG lost their UEFA Champions League knockout stage match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
Neymar trained on Tuesday at his home ground Parc des Princes ahead of the match. He also gave an interview to the Brazilian sports TV channel TNT Sports during practice. Female journalist Clara Albuquerque spoke to the 31-year-old star.
Neymar said in the interview that Brazil fans should be happy. Neymar has hinted at playing the 2026 World Cup. Even before this, when many journalists asked him about it, he avoided the matter or asked for time. But yesterday the journalist answered all the questions of Albuquerque with a smile.
Neymar said, "I want to go forward for years. I will see what happens after that. Of course, there is a big dream. That is winning the World Cup.
Neymar will be 34 years old when the next World Cup comes around. But Messi has once again proved that age is just a number by winning the World Cup in Qatar at the age of 35.
Neymar dreams of playing in the 2026 World Cup with the inspiration of club teammate Messi, 'Leon is always an inspiration. He always supports and encourages me. Seeing him win the World Cup at the age of 35 made me think about it too.
