Part 2/9:
Critics have debated whether Neymar's dominant performance against a weaker opponent in the Camponato Paulista truly reflects his potential moving forward. However, analysts agree that Neymar's rhythm in the game was evident. Compared to his previous matches since rejoining Santos, this performance outlined a significantly improved Neymar – one who appeared more engaged and vigorous on the pitch.
As commentators pointed out, his time spent away from competitive play had likely contributed to uncertainties about his fitness and overall performance level. However, the recent display of his skills showed a renewed vigor reminiscent of his earlier days, suggesting a natural return to form.
