- Brazil is the most successful country at the World Cup, Neymar headlines Brazil
- Neymar is just three goals shy of surpassing the legendary Pele as his country’s all-time top goalscorer
- Neymar has had a strong start to the campaign with PSG, recording 26 goal involvements (15 goals, 11 assists) in 20 games so far
In an interview with Stats Perform, Sissoko predicts the Selecao will win the tournament and Neymar can lead Brazil to the World Cup.
“I know [Neymar is] going to be on fire this year because when you’re on holiday, and you decide to come back one week before you start, it is because you have good motivation. It is because you have the World Cup, so he wants to show all the Brazilian people he’s a big player, and he wants to bring back the World Cup to Brazil.”
In a video posted on Twitter, the Brazilian contingent made up of the playing body, technical team, and another backroom staff was warmly received upon their arrival.
