My Take
Neymar might be the most scrutinized footballer of his generation, and I think the scrutiny has obscured how much joy he brought to the game. The teenager who lit up Santos and won back-to-back South American Footballer of the Year awards played with a freedom that felt almost musical. Yes, the injuries, the transfers, the theatrics — all real. But watching him return to Santos as captain feels like a story closing its circle, and I find it quietly moving. He represents a vanishing breed: the street footballer who treats the pitch as a playground. Whatever the final ledger says, the highlights will outlive the criticism.
