Santos performs a significantly higher performance when it has Neymar on the field, reaching 70% higher, according to the analysis of sports commentator Mano.
The player was 75 days away from the lawns due to injuries. He faces a delicate moment in his career and will not work against São Paulo, in this Sunday’s classic (21). The commentator points out that the player needs to adapt his style of play, especially considering his current phase and physical condition.
Need for adaptation
With the advancement of age, it needs to modify its way of acting, avoiding unnecessary situations of physical contact. “Neymar is often calling fouls that he doesn’t have to call it,” says the commentator, remembering that this behavior was more appropriate when the player was between 15 and 18 years old.
The physical question is a crucial point at this stage of the athlete’s career. According to the analysis, after the age of 30, the muscles no longer respond in the same way, and Neymar’s out -of -field history, unlike other athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, has weighed on his performance.
Comparison with other elite players shows possible paths for career renewal. “The Messi reinvented himself. He is no longer that guy to catch and dribble as he did at the beginning of his career. Today he is a thinking head of midfield,” exemplifies the commentator.
