Brazilian Legend, Delima Ronaldo has stated that Neymar still has a vital role to play for his country following Brazil’s exit from the World Cup in Qatar.

Ronaldo, who scored 62 goals in 98 caps and won two World Cups in 1994 and 2002, believes that Brazil’s talisman will come back stronger in four years’ time.

In Qatar, Brazil thought they had done enough to beat Croatia after a wonderful goal from Neymar in extra time of the quarter-final on Friday.

A dramatic equaliser from Bruno Petkovic followed in the 117th minute before penalty heartbreak.

Following the defeat, Neymar admitted he did not know whether he would play international football again – despite needing only one more goal to surpass Pele as Brazil’s all-time top goal scorer.

“I think Neymar is very upset with the result of the World Cup for the Brazil national team,” Ronaldo said.

Ronaldo also explained the sacrifice Neymar made during the tournament, citing his decision to continue playing in the knockout rounds despite an ankle sprain sustained in the second half of the first group game against Serbia.

“I’m very happy that he showed the world a commitment for the last six months, for the Brazil national team. He behaved himself. He took care of himself. And he played a good match, the first match. He got a very strong tackle on his ankle,” he said.
