The Brazil captain on Tuesday reiterated that a back injury suffered during his team's 2-1 World Cup quarterfinal victory over Colombia in July was one of the ""worst moments"" of his life.
Neymar was ruled out of the tournament with a fractured vertebra after clashing with Colombia's Camilo Zuniga late in the match in Fortaleza.
The hosts were eliminated from the World Cup four days later when they lost 7-1 to eventual winners Germany in Belo Horizonte.
""It was a year of lessons, happiness and sadness,"" the Barcelona forward said during the opening of his Neymar Jr Institute for underprivileged children.
""It was an excellent World Cup from a certain point of view. But then I got injured and that was one of the worst moments of my life.""
Neymar has already scored 16 goals from 19 matches in all competitions for Barcelona this season.
He has also shone for Brazil since replacing Thiago Silva as captain in September.
He scored all four goals in the 4-0 victory over Japan in October and added a brace in a 4-0 rout of Turkey in November.
The Selecao No. 10 looks set to again be his team's central figure at the Copa America in Chile next June and July.
""That (World Cup disappointment) has come and gone. This season has gone well and I hope it continues,"" Neymar told reporters.
Located in the 22-year-old's home town of Praia Grande, in Sao Paulo state, the Neymar Jr Institute provides sports and academic facilities for children aged seven to 14 from low-income families.
""This is a giant door giving people opportunities in the neighborhood, opportunities that maybe I didn't have,"" Neymar said.
""The main objective is football. We are making children happy and passing on a message that every one is capable of deciding their future.""

SHANGHAI’S salvage authority is developing saturation diving technology to enable divers to work at a depth of 500 meters — deeper than ever before for Chinese divers.
Saturation diving technology enables human beings to withstand high water pressure to stay underwater for longer and at a deeper sea level.
The technology is crucial in China’s deep-sea exploration, rescue operations and engineering construction at the bottom of the sea, said Jin Feng, the head of the diving division of Shanghai Salvage Company under the Ministry of Transport.
China’s current deepest saturation dive record is 300 meters. The United States and France are the global leaders in saturation diving technology whose divers can descend more than 500 meters. “The depth of saturation diving also symbolizes the national power of China,” Jin, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, told Shanghai Daily on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.
The city government has set up a research base on Hengsha Island at the mouth of Yangtze River, for the company to achieve the goal, Jin said.
His team has begun working on diving facilities, such as the diving bell, living chamber and escape vessel.
Researchers were carrying out experiments in the base, while the divers were being trained in maneuvers and various missions at sea, Jin said.
Shanghai Salvage now has about 2,000 staff, including 800 divers and other technicians. Its largest crane barge has a lifting capacity of 2,500 tons, and is mainly used for salvage, wreck removal, offshore projects and various underwater services. Divers needed to reach deeper depths to help with the crane’s operation, Jin said.
Since its establishment in the 1950s, the company said it had completed more than 2,000 salvage cases, over 1,000 wreck removal cases, saved some 20,000 lives and removed more than 20,000 tons of underwater oil pollution.
Previously, China’s deep-sea operations had to rely on foreign salvage companies.
China hired foreign divers to take part in its oilfield development in the South China Sea, Jin said.
Jin, in his role as a NPC deputy, has asked for more government support that includes financial assistance and incentives to the staff, many of whom later resigned due to the work involving long-time operational duties at sea and having to undergo intensive training and operations.
People have different traditions. Out of the many things that are unexpected in a day, these are things or events that people look forward to in a year. People never forget it because it is a practice done for years. These traditions stir people and contribute to one of the most memorable moments in their life. It is a chance to have fun. It is as if out of the normal things done in their everyday life, they get to do away with it to make the day extra especial because of this traditions.
For example, Christmas always happen on the 25th day of December. Traditionally, we put up Christmas trees and beautifully wrapped presents for the family (normally opened in the morning). Bountiful meals are prepared for the family to gather them together and celebrate the Holidays. Kids also enjoy Halloween. Part of the tradition is the trick or treating. Kids get a chance to collect bags of goodies simply by wearing a costume and by knocking on the doors of your neighbors. The 4th of July will never be complete without fireworks and cookouts. This time of the year, people leave their works and spend time at a local park with family and friends to celebrate together Independence Day. We have so many traditions that run in different cultures and mind you, there are traditions in sports, particularly in football.
College football teams like Clemson Tigers have a unique tradition. One of it is the Tiger Walk. If you ask if there are real tigers walking in this occasion, no there will be none. It is only fans and s.
