Ramón Díaz’s son backs Neymar to win the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Field assistant Emiliano Díaz showed his fanaticism for Brazilian winger Neymar Jr and revealed a personal aspiration involving him.

"My wish is for Brazil to win the World Cup. As Messi deservedly won, I would love to see Neymar win, for 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 good 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: "Like it or not, we are South Americans. There is rivalry. But as Messi won, it would also be good if Neymar could 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 attacker Memphis Depay. That meeting lasted 4 long hours.

The conversation led to an external meeting where deeper issues were discussed, because it was the time when Ramón Díaz could land at Santos F.C. "I had the opportunity to go alone to Santos when I left Corinthians. We were friends, but it couldn't happen for different reasons," he argued.

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 that I would go there and he wanted to talk to me. We spent four hours talking about football and life. It was an honor."
