With the pressures of succeeding in the World Cup still weighing heavily on his shoulders, Brazil's Neymar is looking for support from the home crowd. It's growing, but more will be needed if Brazil is to win its group and advance to the Round of 16.
"I can definitely sense them [the crowd] getting more and more on our side, come what may," Neymar said (via FIFA). "Everyone is coming along to support us, right till the end and it's been that way for a while now," he added. "Just like our style of play, it's become a hallmark of the team and there's nothing better than getting that sort of support when you're hosting the World Cup."
