The Brazilian legend Neymar said he “can't find the words to express the feeling” to make his first performance for Santos since he had joined the club.
The attacker again signed for his youth team last week, after he scored 136 goals in 226 performances for them between 2009 and 2013 when he came to the fore in a global star that then played for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Santos pulled 1-1 with Botafogo in the Brazilian Paulista championship on Wednesday, with fans illuminating their mobile phones to welcome the striker, who started as a replacement.
He stood up in the second half with Santos who led, and although she admitted the game, Neymar got the player of the game.
The second half of Neymar's club career was marred by injuries, about his time at PSG and Al-Hilal, but he is convinced that his fitness will come after his introduction during the half-time of this game.

“I can't find the words to express the feeling,” said Neymar, who won six trophies in his first stint with Santos.
“I need more games. I am not 100%. I did not expect that I would run like that and dribble tonight. I think I will feel better in four or five games.
“I love Santos very much, and I can't find the words to describe the feeling that I felt when I got on the field today.
“It was a very difficult game. They marked a lot at the back, they are a team that defends a lot, touching a lot.
“I think it's time to be patient and get some practice.”
She dived to sign Neymar after she had promoted to the top flight in Brazil in 2024.
