Montevideo, Uruguay – For those wey dey follow football well well, e don clear say Neymar and Di María dey enjoy two different stories right now. While Di María dey bask in glory for Rosario Central, Neymar dey face serious wahala for him career after him injury. Na wah!
After serious left knee injury wey Neymar collect playing for Brazil on October 12, 2023, him performance don dey raise eyebrows. I mean, only two years after him saga, the boy wey people dey hail as football god don dey struggle to find him swag again (e be like say di dance steps don dey fade). Now, Ancelotti no even mention am for squad. How we go take understand dis one?
Neymar don try show small flashes of him old magic, like when e ginger ball for free kicks and make some slick passes, but no be wetin we expect from a player wey dey carry big name. Sometimes, e dey play as if him dey afraid of injury. No be small matter o!
As e dey stand now, him return to the pitch dey chook eye for November FIFA dates, but rain don fall for as e no fit shine before dem time. If e wan play for 2026 World Cup, e need make am happen fast fast (time no dey wait for anybody, my guy!).
On the other hand, Di María don dey flex him muscles for Central, like say na him arena (small padi padi dey clutch). E don return to where e start, and e don already show say e no be ordinary player. E don score plenty goals and dey help him team dey win, no be di usual mago-mago way wey we dey see for some players.
Even though we dey talk about Di María as the homecoming king, e no dey stress for di number 10 jersey; he just take di 11 and dey do him own. Teamwork be di koko for am. Na so e and Malcorra dey collaborate like say dem be best pals!
Di María’s story no just dey shine for club, e don also collect trophies for national side, participatin’ in everything from FIFA World Cup to di Olympic Games. E get hunger wey dey push am, and na im make am different from some of his contemporaries (you sabi the ones wey dey just act like celebrities?).
As for Neymar, e get plans to try return Europe for next season, but nobody sabi if e go fit package him career back together before dem reshuffle. Na so di footy world dey play now. Who go shine? One na rascal, another na king. Dey two players dey carry us go different levels, but wetin we go carry enter future for both?
