Brazilian star Neymar da Silva makes sacrifices for his club Santos, playing in crucial matches of the Brazilian league despite suffering from a meniscus injury in his left knee.

Neymar insisted on postponing the necessary surgery until the end of the season, emphasizing that his current duty is to help the team stay clear of the relegation zone. This decision reflects the player's commitment to the club's cause during a critical phase of the season.

In an important match against Sport Recife, Neymar demonstrated his great significance to the team by scoring one of his team's three goals and providing an assist to his teammate João Schmidt.

The match ended with Santos winning 3-0, a victory that gave the team the ability to control their own fate to avoid relegation. Despite the pain, the team captain confirmed after the match that he would be ready to face the upcoming game against Juventud, noting that the injury is "annoying" but does not prevent him from giving his best on the field.

Neymar's statements after the match highlighted his complete focus on one goal: "Now it's time to think about Santos and keep Santos where it deserves to be, that is, in the Brazilian Serie A." The veteran forward prioritizes his team's survival above all else before planning his recovery and rehabilitation. This heroic stance was well received by the club's fans, who place great hopes on their star to save the season.
