Ramón Díaz’s son hopes Neymar lifts the 2026 World Cup 🏆 | OneFootball

Field assistant Emiliano Díaz showed his admiration for the Brazilian winger Neymar Jr and revealed a personal aspiration that involves him.

“My wish is for Brazil to win the World Cup. Just as Messi deservedly won, I would love to see Neymar win, because of what he has achieved in his career, for who he is as a person,” Emiliano Díaz confessed to the Brazilian press.

The assistant argued that the 2026 World Cup will be the last one left for South America; and for this reason, he wants to see the Brazilian star with the trophy. “It’s a great opportunity for the greats who haven’t achieved it. In the last World Cup, we all wanted Messi to win,” he stated.

At the end of his remarks, the son and assistant of Ramón Díaz concluded with a deep analysis: “Whether we like it or not, we are South Americans. There is rivalry. But since Messi won, it would also be good for Neymar to be able to close this cycle of his career with the World Cup.”

The meeting between Díaz and Ney

The field assistant revealed that he met the Brazilian star at the birthday party of Dutch striker Memphis Depay. That meeting lasted a long four hours.

The conversation led to an external meeting where deeper issues were discussed, as it was the time when Ramón Díaz could have landed at Santos F.C. “I had the chance to go alone to Santos when I left Corinthians. We were friends, but it couldn’t happen for different reasons,” he explained.

Díaz recounted the sequence: “I spoke with him, he received me very warmly, we met and he treated me very well. He is incredibly humble. He welcomed me into his home because there was a possibility I could go there and he wanted to talk to me. We spent four hours talking about football and life. It was an honor.”
