Exactly as Temptation said. Neymar was just lucky to play in an era driven by marketing and money. He would have been a Denilson 20-25 years ago.

Rivaldo/R9/Kaka/Ronaldinho were all better players at their peak. All had better phisique than Neymar.
You're waffling kiddo

Neymar is definitely on their level. Along side the iconic Brazilians who played for BARCA. Not that bum ass vinicious jr playing for VARDRID fake ass brazilian

But Neymar made some terrible career moves, this was his last chance

and he fucked up again

What a loser

Well, to be fair, as someone else pointed out, 31 years in age of the modern Brazilian attacker is like 35 for everyone else:

Rivaldo at 31 was finished in Europe having spent a season as a substitute in Milan and then went back in Brazil to play football and then Olympiacos.

Ronaldinho at 31 was the same story, failed miserably in Milan and went back to Brazil


R9 at 31 was already irrelevant the past 2-3 seasons and was barely playing at Milan, before going back to Brazil

Even Kaka at 31 was almost done, he played a final „ok“ season in a mediocre Milan and then went back to Brazil.

And we are not even talking about guys like Adriano, Robinho etc.

If anything, Neymar is still relevant today. Still fucking absurd though :lol: :lol: :lol: He surely could go to a big team and at least try to compete (although I doubt he could achieve anything of note), but he threw all away for the money…With this move he also basically admits that his window to win anything meaningful with Brazil as the main man has closed down. What a waste…

Had he stayed at Barca, I think we would have won at least one more UCL. He would always be in Messi‘s shadow, but he would have had a better career than now.
I think Ney would have easily played on toplevel for another 2-3 years if this guy would not been injured every 2 months

Saudi at 31, incredible talented, but overall a wasted career.

Not all his fault, injuries piled on, but PSG was a terrible move outside extra money.

Neymar said in conversations that he was not moving to Barça as long as Xavi was the coach. Their relationship was a problem.

Coz those names are better players.


Neymar just got more publicity and marketing coz he was the biggest talent in a different generation. It's about the timing of his emergence.


Don't wanna hear any of the "natural ability" crap. Quaresma isn't a superstar, is he? It's all about what you actually produce.
Neymar actually produced more in terms of Stats (goals and assists), plus he created more chances than most of those players, dribbled more than most, and was more consistent than most of those players. Neymar is quite underrated cause he played when Ronaldo and Messi were in their prime and then dropped in quality after injuries in PSG.

Neymar literally has the most goals (77) and assists (56) for Brazil's national team in 124 National games, the PSG move and injury messed him up though but he was something else in his prime.
