Santos midfielder Ganso has said that he regards sensation Neymar to be a genius, while the midfielder has also called the 20-year-old as a prophet who is capable of seeing the future. Ganso praised Neymar after the striker scored a hat-trick in the latest match for Santos. The hat-trick against Guarani means that the club are one of the favourites to win the home match against Guarani a fortnight away. The hat-trick against Guarani now also means that Neymar has scored 100 goals for the club in such a short span of time, which has led to a lot of praise coming in for the Brazilian.
He has been linked with a £ 40 million move to Europe in the summer, but the striker has always maintained that he wants to stay with Santos until the end of his current contract at least. There have been calls for Neymar to move to Europe in order to gain experience playing against the European defenders, which will come in handy when Brazil take on the world in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Neymar will be 22 years old when the 2014 FIFA World Cup kicks off. Many are expecting to see the birth of the new Ronaldo in this competition.
“He is a genius and a prophet. We were in camp and he told me ‘it will be 3-1 to us, we will open-up 2-0, we will concede a goal and then we will suffer pressure before adding a final goal.’ He is a genius,” the Brazil midfielder stated after the match. He is the only player from Brazil to have been nominated for the coveted FIFA Player of the Year Award alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Xavi. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two clubs fighting for his signature.
Brazilian sensation Neymar has shocked the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona by saying that there is every chance that he could stay with Santos for the rest of his career. Neymar is regarded as one of the greatest talents of the game.
At only 20 years of age, Neymar is also the hottest property in world football. Chelsea were the first to make a concrete bid for the player only for Neymar to turn the opportunity to join Chelsea. It is highly anticipated that Neymar would make a move to Europe in the summer. However, Neymar has shocked the world by saying that staying with Santos for the rest of his career would be the best gift for the club.
Neymar’s current contract with the club comes to an end after the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Former Brazilian coach Dunga has said that Neymar should move to Europe in the summer because it would provide him with a knowledge about the European game before he is ready to face the opponents at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. It has been reported that Real Madrid and Barcelona were the new favourites to sign the player. Following his latest comments, though, Neymar could very much replicate Brazilian legend Pele, who spent his best years with Santos.
“Staying here until the end of my career would be a good gift [to the club], because I’m a Santos fan. This is the team where I have grown up. I’ve been at the club since I was 12 and have a wonderful story here. I want to end my career here. I do not think I am the greatest after Pele. Robinho is my idol; he will always be better than me. I still have much to do and to achieve,” the striker told Globoesporte.
Former Brazilian great Paulo Roberto Falcao has said that Neymar will be of a great boost for the national team if he plays in the European leagues just prior to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil, and this has put enormous pressure on the squad and the manager to deliver the results for the country.
Neymar is expected to be one of the best players at the tournament. He has also been linked with a move to join fellow Brazilian international Dani Alves at Barcelona in a move worth around £ 45 million. However, many think that Neymar will be rejecting any offers to join Barcelona prior to the World Cup.
Falcao, though, is of the opinion that a move to Europe prior to the 2014 FIFA World Cup will be of great help to Neymar, as it will help him understand the European game much better. The World Cup is likely to be a competition against Europe and South America given that countries like Brazil and Spain are the favourites to lift the trophy. Hence, playing in the European leagues will help Neymar in understanding the game of the opponents better according to Falcao. Falcao has played for the likes of Roma when it comes to European experience, while he has 34 caps for Brazil.
“I think Europe has a capacity, a tactical culture that we do not yet have here. It gives you an understanding of the game. I do not know for sure, but for the experience and the culture – speaking from a footballing angle – it would be an advance. The national team would do better because he [Neymar] would have a different makeup, he would grow in a way that would help a lot,” Falcao said in a recent interview given to SporTV.
Brazilian young sensation Neymar has said that his fellow countryman and former Barcelona great Ronaldinho has said that he should move to Barcelona in order to have a great career.
The 20-year-old is being linked with some of the biggest clubs in the world including Barcelona, who have now become the favourites for his signature after the own admission of Neymar. Neymar currently plays for Brazil club Santos, which has drew parallelism with Brazilian legend Pele. It is thought that Ronaldinho has said to Neymar that if he wants to become a similar player to Pele, then he must move to Barcelona without any second thoughts.
The current Barcelona squad has become one of the best teams in the world under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola. Even though the future of Guardiola at the Camp Nou is under speculation, Ronaldinho believes that to Catalonia will be the best for Neymar. Ronaldinho is regarded as one of the greatest Barcelona players of recent times. Even though the world only saw the best of Ronaldinho only for a few years, he is regarded to be by far the best of the lot. Ronaldinho departed to AC Milan a few seasons ago before eventually coming back to Brazil.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has said that the possibility of Neymar joining Chelsea looks very remote at this moment. Chelsea were one of the favourites to sign Brazilian sensation Neymar from Brazilian club Santos.
In fact, they were the first club to express their interest to sign the player with an official bid of around £ 30 million a few transfer windows back. However, the bid was not only rejected by the club, but also by the player, who wanted to stay for longer in his home country. Now, it appears that Neymar is getting closer towards securing a move to a top European club, but that will unlikely be Chelsea according to their manager Andre Villas-Boas.
The 20-year-old striker is regarded as one of the hottest properties in world football. Some of the club is being linked with the Brazilian sensation include the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Spanish clubs have always been the favourite of Brazilian players. Even though Andre Villas-Boas failed to disclose the details about the club which had agreed a deal for the young star, it is very much likely that it would be a Spanish or Italian club because of the history between these two countries and Brazil.
“I think that the Neymar matter is closed and locked in a safe. He has decided his future and no-one knows where he will go. Unfortunately, he will not come to us,” Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas told at a recent ceremony regarding the future of Neymar. Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas’ future at the club has come under intense speculation of late after club owner Roman Abramovich has been visiting the training sessions a number of times over the last few weeks. Chelsea recently threw a 3-0 lead to draw against Manchester United in the Premier league.
Brazilian forward Neymar has won the goal of the year award beating the likes of Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney and Barcelona striker Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi won the third Ballon d’Or award of his career in a ceremony held in Zurich, Switzerland.
It was also the location for the award of the best goal in the year. Neymar was nominated alongside Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi for this award. Many were expecting Wayne Rooney’s sensational overhead kick against Manchester City to be selected as the goal of the year award, but it has been won by the Brazilian forward Neymar.
Neymar is widely acknowledged to be the best young Centre forward in the world. He currently plays for Santos and is widely expected to make a move to an European club in the summer. He has a £ 35 million release clause in his contract, which was inserted into his contract after a number of clubs including the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid expressed interest in signing the striker. Neymar signed a new deal that will keep him at Santos – the club Brazilian legend Pele represented – until 2015. In many interviews, Neymar has said that he will be looking to move to Europe only after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
“I think it’s the best goal I’ve ever scored. I picked up the ball on the left, went past two opponents and laid the ball off to a team-mate. We played a great one-two and I managed to wriggle clear of two more opponents and put the ball away. It was just about the perfect move,” said Neymar reacting to the award he has won for the best goal of the year. Neymar also said that he will be looking to win the Ballon d’Or award at some stage in his career.
