Neymar will make his debut for Santos next Wednesday.
In addition to the technical and physical aspects, the Santos board is working to regularize Neymar's situation with the Brazilian Football Confederation.
247 - After months of anticipation, Neymar will finally begin his new journey as a Santos player. Coach Pedro Caixinha confirmed, in a press conference, that the number 10 will debut on Wednesday (7), at 21:35 pm (Brasília time), against Botafogo-SP, at Vila Belmiro, in a match valid for the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. The information is from Globo Sport.
Before entering the field, Neymar needs to fulfill two fundamental requirements: train with the group and have his documentation regularized. The player will participate in activities with the Santos squad at CT Rei Pelé, scheduled for the two days preceding the match. The delegation had a day off on Sunday (4), after the 3-1 victory over São Paulo in the classic played at MorumBIS.
In addition to the technical and physical aspects, the Santos board is working to regularize Neymar's situation with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF). For him to be eligible to play, the striker needs to have his name published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) and, subsequently, be registered on List A for the São Paulo Championship. The number 10 shirt at Santos is already reserved for him.
Even if he doesn't play the entire match, Caixinha made it clear that Neymar will be on the field. The coach wants to count on the team's star, even if only for a few minutes, and begin the player's readjustment to Brazilian football. The fans' expectations are high, and Vila Belmiro promises to be packed to welcome back one of the greatest idols in the club's recent history.
