The five-time champion of the world, sunk two years ago in the darkest phase in its history, came just over two weeks ago. With the ecstasy of Olympic gold at Maracana, the Selecao met up with the lost illusion and, by the way, with a crowd that had divorced his team to beat disappointments, AFP reported.

Then came the victory over Ecuador on Thursday (3-0) at the premiere of Tite, a new sign that perhaps the worst is behind us.

It was almost twelve months Barca star not marked with Brazil, driven by a negative cycle that neither he, the only hope among the ruins, had been saved.

In the last year, Neymar showed decentered and yellow dress nervous, especially after his controversial sanction of four matches after being sent off against Colombia in the Copa America in Chile.

It was his second run-in with the coffee, after tense quarter-final at the World Cup, where the idol came out on a stretcher, James ended up crying and Brazil won their last game before the debacle against Germany.

The third chapter in the saga came less than a month ago when they met again in another tense duel for a place in the Olympic semifinal, which ended up taking local.
