Neymar Breaks Down in Tears Reliving Tackle that Almost Paralysed Him


Brazilian footballer Neymar didn’t hold back the tears when he revealed that he was so close to being paralyzed.
At the Brazil training session and press conference on Thursday 10th July 2014, the 22-year-old spoke after being hospitalized with a fractured vertebrae in Brazil’s World Cup quarter-final win over Colombia.
He told reporters that Colombia defender Juan Zuniga had called him to apologize for the knee in the back that initially made him unable to feel his legs.
On criticism, he says, “A lot of you say I am quick to dive, but I don’t take any notice of that, because when I see a tackle coming face-on, I know how to defend myself, but when the tackle comes from behind, I can’t defend myself, the only thing I can do to protect myself is to respect the rules of the game.”
“God blessed me in this attack if it had been 2 centimeters more…(then he breaks down in tears) excuse me, I am sorry, I am sorry, I could have ended, ended up in a wheelchair.” he continued.


Luis Suarez has left Liverpool and completed a £75million move to Barcelona, in deal that is make him the third highest signing in football history, only behind Barcelona's arch rival, Real Madrid's duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

Liverpool have finalised the terms of a club-record fee with Barcelona for the sale of striker Luis Suarez, but due to his FIFA ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the world cup, cannot be presented at the Nou Camp just yet. The 27-year-old striker moves to Nou Camp after agreeing a five-year deal. He will travel to Spain for a medical next week.

Motivational Monday: Live your dreams

Image
Good evening my JAB peeps, its that day of the week where I share some inspiring words to keep our head high even through the turbulent waters. Today we would be talking about Living our dreams and the prime obstacle to that is FEAR. You can either live your dreams or live your fear. I think that many people are not living their dreams. But are living their fears. So I want to ask you a question. Why are you living in fear? What are you afraid? We all have fears, we all have something that is blocking, or holding us back.
