Neymar took to social media to send a message of support to Rodrygo after it was reported that the Real Madrid player suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, just a few months before the World Cup. "It's one of the saddest days for me," the Santos forward began, adding that the news left him shaken: "A film played in my head. All the suffering, all the anguish, and the fear of experiencing this injury!" He then affectionately urged his compatriot to focus on recovery with his loved ones. "My 10, my boy, my heir (as I call you), I only ask one thing… 'take care of your mind,' now is the time to have all the people you love around you… And, as you said, you didn't deserve to go through this right now… but who are we to doubt God's plans?" he continued. He concluded with more words of support: "Little brother… Stay strong, I am sure you will fly again. I love you. Just as you supported me, I will be here for you!" It is worth noting that the player was injured during the defeat against Getafe, and further examinations confirmed the worst scenario: the end of the season at Real Madrid and goodbye to participating in the World Cup with Brazil.
