Neymar hasn't had a good time in the last few years. The injuries have hurt his growth and, worse, they have taken a toll on his confidence.

Neymar opened up in an interview with 'Vogue Arabia', speaking about his issues the past two years. "There's nothing worse for a professional than an injury. I've really suffered from that the last two seasons. I've had moments where I've ended up questioning myself," he said.

The pain has not stopped accompanying Neymar. Long and painful injuries have caused the Brazilian to take a couple of months off at various times over the past two seasons.

And it's not just Neymar's injuries that have affected him, Kobe Bryant's death has also left its mark on the striker: "His death affected me a lot because our lives had so much in common. When you meet the person behind the athlete, it creates a different relationship and with Kobe it was very special. Sport and society lost a great guy."

But Neymar is willing to do anything to put injuries behind him. He works out every day to get rid of the problems on his right foot. He knows what he's capable of and will work hard to show what he's made of.
