The Colombian defender Juan Camilo Zuniga recently apologized for his unintentional actions towards Neymar which concluded with the Brazilian star on picking up an injury that will be leaving him out of the remaining stages of the 2014 World Cup.

 

Camilo Zuniga released a statement which read: “I am deeply sorry and said about what happened although I feel the situation was normal in a game, there was no bad intention, malice or negligence on my part.”

 

Even though the harsh tackle of Zuniga towards Neymar will be leaving out the Brazilian star of the worldwide event, FIFA will not take action against what happened and this has sparked a series of criticism against the International Football Association as supporters of Brazil have compared this event with Luis Suarez who even though did not damage Giorgio Chiellini on a long term manner, the Uruguayan attacker was still sanctioned for a significantly long period of time.

 

However in this case, Zuniga did harm Neymar on a long term way but the Colombian defender will not receive any kind of sanctions or punishments for his actions.

 

Brazilis implementing a treatment with Neymar that will allow the young attacker on recovering at a quick pace but even with this fast recovery, it will not be enough for him to represent his nation at the 2014 World Cup even if they do manage on entering the finals on July 13.

 

Neymar expressed how hard it has been for him to not be able on representing his country at a World Cup thatBrazilis hosting, where fans are expecting theBarcelonastar on being the main attacking outlet of the squad.

 

“I don’t have words to describe what has been going through my head and my heart. I just want to say that I will be back as soon as possible. When you least expect I’ll be back’’ Neymar said.

 

Brazilian football legend Pele thinks young starlet Neymar is under a bit too much pressure to deliver the World Cup forBrazil and is concerned about his well being.

The 22 year oldBarcelonastriker has never played at the World Cup but he has been in free scoring form, scoring seven goals for the Canaries in their run of nine successive friendly wins ahead of the showpiece on home soil.

Pele told Gary Linekar in an informal chat that the player is still young, and the pressure is a bit too much on his young shoulders.

Brazilhas won five World Cup titles but has not won the title since their last triumph 2002. The hosts will faceCroatiain their opening group game, which is also the curtain raiser for the World Cup.

The Canaries won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup with a thumping win over Spainlast year and fans expect Neymar to deliver the same kind of performance this time around and inspire the team to the much awaited sixth title.

Pele also added that it is probably for the first time in the history of Brazilian football that they have a defense better than attack and the entire nation is looking at one man to lead the attack and that is a bit unfair on the youngster.

Pele was only 18 years old when he first graced the world stage back in 1958 when Brazil won their first World Cup but he believes he had a team of experienced heads around him and the pressure on him wasn’t too much.

The legendary Brazilian also said the midfield is also fantastic and extremely organized but the goals need to come from all sources and not just Neymar forBrazil to raise the trophy aloft next month.
