Exactly. Neymar was very quick, both in acceleration on first few meters and in changing directions which are the most important traits for a winger apart from technical ability.Neymar was very fast. Just not the fastest winger/forward of his generation like Mbappe and Ronaldo Nazario (CR7) is/were. Just because you're not the fastest doesn't mean you're not fast. Neymar at his prime easily blew past most fullbacks with ease.
Young Neymar is the role model Lamine should look up to with the first MSN season being his peak season as a team player. He improved individually and had great phases after that, especially when Leo was injured, but with Lamine the club should look to train Lamine to become what Neymar was in that first MSN season.
