Neymar consults sports psycho
Brazil striker Neymar has consulted
a sports psychologist to help deal with the weight of expectations before his
country's quarter-final showdown with Colombia on Friday.
Neymar, 22, is the poster boy of the
World Cup and has almost single-handedly inspired the hosts on their journey to
the last eight but after Brazil's draining penalty shoot-out triumph over Chile
in the first knock-out stage, the Barcelona forward admits he has benefited
from some help.
"I had never done anything like
it before and I am quite enjoying it," he said. "It's not only us, in
football, who are surrounded by emotion every day and need psychologists. It
could do every person good, to make one more relaxed.
Neymar was one of several players
who broke down in tears following the dramatic win over their fellow South
Americans, with goalkeeper Julio Cesar and Thiago Silva crying even before the
shoot-out had begun. Yet, he insists they are in the best mindset possible
before today's game against Colombia in Fortaleza.
Neymar has scored four goals in as
many matches thus far in the tournamen.
