Neymar admits to seeking psychological help

Brazilian football star Neymar has admitted to seeking psychological help after reaching his emotional breaking point. Following his team Santos' 3-0 victory over Cruzeiro on Sunday, which secured their league status, Neymar said: «After our match against Flamengo, I faced a lot of pressure due to harsh criticism. And of course, because I am Neymar, the criticism is always exaggerated. So, for the first time in my life, I asked for psychological help. I thought I had no strength left to get back on my feet». Neymar also thanked his coach, teammates, and family for standing by him during the difficult period and helping him recover. «I thank them all», he added.
