Neymar reacted and showed off his abs, because not long ago he was caught with an image of him having gained a lot of weight when appearing at former player Romario’s 58th birthday party.
“Just finished working out. Are you guys saying I gained weight and got fat? Absolutely not. Look, stop criticizing,” Neymar said in the clip and pulled up his shirt to show off his abs. Neymar also wrote a status line with a very harsh reaction, referring to those who criticized him through the images that recently appeared.
Neymar is currently in the recovery phase after surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn meniscus in his left knee. This is the injury Neymar suffered in mid-October last year, in the Brazilian team’s 0-2 loss to Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America.
This 31-year-old Brazilian star is not expected to recover in time to attend the 2024 Copa America tournament held in the US this summer. He was advised by the Brazilian team doctor, Mr. Rodrigo Lasmar, to practice hard to recover, not to rush and only return to the field from August, right before the 2024 – 2025 season.
Neymar is playing for Al Hilal Club in the Saudi Pro League (Saudi Arabia). But due to an injury that required a long-term break, he was removed from the roster for the 2023-2024 season by this team.
Immediately after reacting to the weight gain, Neymar suddenly received a painful ending from Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese player also posted a photo on Instagram showing off his muscular muscles as he is about to turn 39 on February 5.
The image of Neymar showing off his muscles in response to his weight gain, compared to the image of Ronaldo, who is 8 years older than him, but has “6-pack” and bulging abs, was immediately compared by fans. Many people call for Neymar to really try harder to be equal to his senior, at least in terms of a toned body, instead of responding to public opinion to justify himself.
