Neymar scored twice for Santos in a 3-1 victory over Juventude, showing promise for his World Cup hopes despite previously struggling with injury. His performance caught the attention of Brazil's national team staff, including fitness coordinator Cristiano Nunes. The match saw Neymar's first goal come after 37 minutes, converting a close-range chance, followed by assisting a second goal. After the game, Neymar emphasized the importance of winning and scoring, noted the victory but acknowledged the performance wasn't ideal.
I think you have to think about both. Obviously winning is important, scoring is important - even more so at home - and earning the three points. We played a good game, but it wasn't one of the best. So we're happy with the victory.
Neymar opened the scoring after 37 minutes with a close range finish after the ball fell kindly for him in the box and then helped create the second for Alvaro Barreal.
