Neymar happy with Brazil’s silver medal in Olympics

Bruised by their loss to Mexico in the Olympic final, Brazil begin their journey to the 2014 World Cup with a friendly against Sweden. The match, the last to be played at Stockholm’s Rasunda stadium, offers a chance for coach Mano Menezes to return home from Europe on the back of a win. The Brazilian football federation hinted before the Olympics that a disappointing result in London could cost Menezes his job, but a decision is not expected until the team returns to Brazil later this week. For some in the Brazil team, the disappointment of losing the gold medal match has started to fade. “Life goes on. I am satisfied with the Olympics and we won a silver medal after all and I’m happy that I was there,” said forward Neymar. Brazil are bringing most of the players in the squad that lost the final 2-1 to Mexico, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a doubt for the Swedes. The Paris Saint-Germain striker’s right foot is swollen after a knock during the team’s French league opener Saturday against Lorient. From:Gulftoday
