i've only just realized salah joined liverpool the same window neymar joined psg

one came back to the PL to prove doubters wrong after a failed spell, the other faded into memes, shadows and irrelevancy. the career trajectory and stats difference between them is insane.

and they're both the same age. what a differernce the mindset makes.

Spot on.
Professionalism is evident sometimes, just as team work and sacrificing for the team
Look how many times Salah tracks full-back all the way, let alone the full intensity mode his is on whenever he presses the defenders high

Don't wanna make comparisons, because I am gonna disappoint the fanboys here: it's not only Ney-boy that fades in comparison...

Although Neymar "looks better on the ball", I'm going to pick Salah as the better player since 2017. Easily.
Considering Neymar's prodigious talent in his early 20s, he could have easily transformed into a lethal inside forward for the majority of his career. Considering his natural ability, he would have been even deadlier with his vision and dribbling ability.

I have no idea why he was so obsessed into transforming into a classical Brazilian no. 10. You even saw him dropping deep back in 2015/2016. It's like, why? Maybe he saw that as the only way to be the main man? Well I don't know, but career wise it was a terrible decision.

Salah wife > Neymar wife

Criticize Neymar for a lot of things, but not this. Neymar is at least smart enough not to get married in his 20s whilst being in the peak of his multi-million euro career as one of the most famous footballers on the planet. Fuck as many models as possible, then maybe when you're 40 you should maybe get married.

I always think Xavi lowkey did this as well.

Neymar, has this aura of the superstar that can decide a match. He is the best talent to come out of Brazil since Ronaldinho/Kaka went downhill. Hell, he is the best talent to come out of South America since he emerged in 2009. And seems that there won't be a better Brazilian/South American talent around until Neymar finishes his career.

Salah was playing his trade in Egypt and Switzerland, while Neymar was conquering all of South America, winning everything with Santos as the main man. Not even a close comparison. Won't even go on about the Barcelona period, when Salah was struggling between loans in Serie A.

Yeah, Neymar was greedy cunt and fucked us over. Yeah, Neymar maybe made a mistake by going to PSG, even though he was their best player when not injured. Yeah, he might be lazy and unfit now. He could have had a way better career after leaving Barcelona.

But unless Salah wins a Ballon D'Or by guiding Liverpool to a treble or something like that, he won't have a chance vs Neymar career wise and won't be in a conversation vs the Brazilian.

It's the sensible thing tbh. Like really, if I was a multi-millionaire footballer I'd only get married if it was for a Taylor Hill or Irina Shayk tier girl. Call me superficial but some of these guys have awful taste in women. Like look at Salah's wife, she's looks 40 and shes 26.

Kind of understandable why many footballers go for unknown girls when marrying. The Irina Shayk types are high maintenance and have their own careers + the media attention that comes with it.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo went in the end for a more humble(unknown) girl, who won't stir shit and will be contempt with having a family life and following her husband every step of the way.

From what I've noticed, most models (even the 'super' types) want kids and a family. Irina had a kid barely 2 years after splitting up with Ronaldo.

I can't think of one high end model in her 30s without kids and a family.
