Brazilian’s goal that amazed everyone

No one could have predicted how Neymar would look on the pitch in a Santos jersey when he decided to return to his homeland. Football fans could only hope that the maestro would come alive again and start finding the net. Now, after six matches, we can confidently say—Neymar is back.

He has already scored two goals and provided three assists in six games for Santos. That’s already a better output than he had in a year and a half in Saudi Arabia. But tonight, he particularly amazed everyone by scoring directly from a corner kick. Simply put, the 33-years old forward looks like a player who loves football again. He’s enjoying himself, playing with flair… reminding everyone of his glory days when he played alongside Lionel Messi at Barcelona.

Tonight, his brilliance especially delighted Santos fans. Santos defeated Inter de Limiere 3-0, with Brazilian involved in all three goals. He assisted twice, but his goal was truly spectacular. The second goal for his team was a direct strike from a corner—a so-called "Olympic goal."

It’s as if the Brazilian team has been reborn after the arrival of the former Barcelona and PSG star. In their last three matches, Santos has recorded as many victories. Not only that, but they have been quite dominant in their wins, scoring a total of nine goals in those three games—two of which came from Neymar himself.

There’s a lot of talk about Neymar’s future after his six-month contract with Santos ends. Rumors suggest he wants to return to Europe and play for one of the continent’s top clubs again. However, one thing is certain—one of the most talented players on the planet is enjoying his time back home, and his performances on the pitch clearly reflect that.
