In an interview with the Flow Podcast , Neymar , now a Santos player , said he came close to playing in the current Club World Cup, playing for Brazilian club Fluminense : " I'm in good physical shape. We talked to some teams about participating in the World Cup. Fluminense was close to materializing, but I preferred to stay to train a little more. I'm 100% physically, but I need to improve to be able to get back in shape ."
In an exclusive interview with ESPN , Fluminense president Mário Bittencourt recently spoke about Neymar's desire to participate in the Club World Cup: "Neymar made it clear that he was very excited, but at that moment, he was very focused on his recovery, on helping Santos get out of the current situation. He is an athlete who grew up in Santos, and I find his attitude very kind and dignified. He was also very dignified with us, he wanted to speak to us personally, explaining the reasons why he would not accept at the moment, and obviously for the future, if he has the opportunity, because he is a big name, a great player. For me, he must return to the national team as soon as possible, as soon as he is fully recovered . "
