Despite more than 200 games played alongside Messi and the formation of an emblematic duo both in FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar has no longer surprised one by the Brazilian icon as the player who deserves the title of ” king Football.
Although he was compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo throughout his career, Neymar's journey was somewhat tumultuous due to recurring injuries. This led some fans to qualify it as “Prince who did not want to be king”.
The Intouchable Pelé King
In a sincere interview with Thegrefg on Youtube, Neymar clearly indicated that Pelé, the legend of football with three trophies from the World Cup to his credit, occupies a special place in his heart.
“It is not that I did not want to be a king, it is that for me, there is only one king and it is Pelé”, explained Neymar. “Many things happened, I had a lot of injuries that cost me dearly in my career and God wanted to do so. I have no reason to be sad, on the contrary. I am very happy with my story and my life. I achieved almost everything I dreamed of, and I even did things that I had never dreamed of. I am very grateful to God for having changed my life, that of my family and my friends. This is the most important thing for me ”.
Neymar joined the club of his childhood, Santos, in January and has already left a significant impact. On Sunday, he scored a superb “Olimpico” – a goal directly on Corner – against Inter de Limeira during a Paulista league match. This goal was his second of the season in six appearances, which proves that the Brazilian striker is always able to produce moments of brilliance.
