Brazil to Play Netherlands for 3rd place, to rescue pride in World Cup

Neymar has urged his Brazil team-mates to rescue some of their battered pride after their humiliating World Cup semi-final defeat to Germany by beating the Netherlands in Saturday’s third-place play-off in Brasilia.

It is the one game that no team ever wants to take part in, but the encounter at the Mane Garrincha National Stadium took on extra significance after the hosts’ dream of lifting the trophy at the Maracana 24 hours later was ended by their record 7-1 loss against the Germans.

Neymar missed that match after fracturing a bone in his back in the quarter-final win against Colombia, but the 22-year-old superstar faced the media on Thursday as he called for Brazil to bow out on a high.

“It was unbelievable, inexplicable. We had the opportunity to write our names into history in a positive manner, and we failed,” he said of the Selecao’s embarrassing semi-final loss, their heaviest-ever defeat.

“We haven’t had a good campaign. We were consistent, which is why we reached the semi-finals, but we didn’t play the kind of enchanting football associated with Brazil.

“Now we need to approach Saturday’s game as if it were the final and finish the World Cup smiling, with a victory. It is not going to lessen the pain, but it is important.”
