Santos coach Pedro Kaxenia expressed his conviction that Neymar must be the beating heart of the Brazil team in order to win the 2026 World Cup, similar to what Argentina achieved in 2022 with Lionel Messi.

Kaxenia's comments came after Santos defeated International de Limira 3-0 in the Paulista League in Brazil.

The former star of the Saudi Al -Hilal presented his best games since his return to Santos, and his brilliance with the goal of "Olympic" from a corner kick, as he made two decisive passes, so he chose the best player in the match.

Kaikasinia said: “Neymar is a genius in football, but he is a very humble person, the relationship with him is easy, he wants to win and be able to compete.”

He added: "Neymar wanted to come and play with us here, we must do everything in order to find happiness in playing football and overcoming difficulties in the past two years. Brazil's trip during the 2026 World Cup, this is what is going on in his mind." p>

He continued: “For this reason, he returned to Santos, to find this happiness again, and then to be able to help Brazil in what will be the last World Cup. Messi becomes the world champion. I think the entire Brazil should do the same.

The Santos coach added: “Our daily responsibility is to help him develop and trust himself. p>
