Neymar insured Santos and Brazilian fans.
Neymar tried a daring shot from a dead ball from a tight perspective on the left wing early in the Paulista Championship match on Sunday and squeezed in his efforts in the nearby post.
That was his third goal in his last four games for Santos, after he also scored a week ago directly from a corner in a victory over Internacional de Limeira.
However, the Brazilian icon caused concern when he asked to be replaced in the 76th minute, and seemed uncomfortable when he held his thigh and received treatment on the couch.
But he then went to Instagram to tell fans: “I'm fine, I felt uncomfortable and thought it was better to save myself!
“It has been a while since I played a game with this intensity! I am so happy that I am in my best physical form again! Thank everyone for the messages.”

Santos takes on Corinthians or Palmeiras in the semi -final of the State Championship, and Neymar thinks both teams will worry about the opposite him.
“It is clear that we do not want to get the strongest teams, but I have to make sure they are more afraid than me! They are more afraid of me than me,” he said Cazetv.
“Whatever comes, we know it will be a difficult game, but we are prepared for another team.”
