"In Brazil we are religious and we believe that these things, these kinds of accidents, do not happen by chance. I think from now on Neymar will focus more on his work and take better care of himself," said the former Real Madrid full-back to the aforementioned source.
On the other hand, Roberto Carlos added that Neymar made a good decision to leave Barcelona in the last summer transfer window.
"He did well to sign for PSG. If he wants to be the best in the world, he had to leave Barça because Messi is there. But he also has to be aware that as long as Messi and Ronaldo are there, he will have to settle for being third," said the Brazilian former star.
