Part 3/6:
Interestingly, Neymar's presence on the field did not correlate with positive outcomes for Santos. Under his play, the team experienced two draws and one loss, failing to score in any of those matches. As the season progresses and with a short contract duration, the urgency for Neymar to find his form intensifies.
Team Dynamics and Performance Concerns
It was also pointed out that there were noticeable improvements in the Santos team once Neymar was substituted. Discussions indicated the possibility that Neymar's current state may inadvertently harm the team dynamics. As teammate performances seemed to uplift post his exit from the pitch, questions arose about Neymar's physical condition and overall viability in maintaining competitive play.
