Neymar on missing football

Although Neymar has enjoyed his time off, he admits that he misses football a lot. Neymar said, "Firstly, I want to return to playing which is the most important. I miss it a lot. These months have been really hard. It’s not an easy injury where you just do the surgery, recover & you’re done. It’s more mental than everything. I had to prepare myself a lot mentally to continue with the will & desire to play. I think that’s the most important thing I think about at the moment, not the titles, the wins, the goals but yes in recovering as fast as possible and playing again.
