    Since he was 16 year old, the weight of conquering football with multiple Ballon d'Ors and and bringing Brazil to world cup glory once more had always been on his back since the very beginning of his career. Behind Messi and Ronaldo, Neymar has been the most consistently great player of the last 15 years. But as great as he was, the Prince of Football just never quite managed to take the crown and become king.

    Neymar was the Biggest natural raw talent aside Messi..
    He was the biggest uprising youngster, much more so than Messi and Ronaldo..I remember in 2010 when i started hearing this name Neymar..I got curious since he was a brazilian so went to watch his matches and My God, he was ridiculously incredible..The dribbling, the sheer skills and improvisation dribbling skills.. That's why Madrid wanted him so bad but fortunately, Barca got him..

    Neymar since the beginning of his career, had the most pressure on his shoulder to be an all time great, multiple ballon dor winner, and give his country a world cup.

      I think that he fits into a weird generation because he started his ascent when the previous generation (Messi/Ronaldo) should have been burning out but because of improvements in sports science they just kept going and going meaning he never really got his time in the sun. As such he's ending his competitive career while the new generation (Mbappe/Haaland/Vinicius JR) are getting established

      Sure, no one compares to Ronaldinho/Garrincha or even Okocha but Neymar is a close 4th place in terms of skills and dribbling.
      I'm not putting Messi or Maradona because they were all about dribbling and not so much of skills (Maradona had more skills/faints than Messi)

    He's always been very strong spirited but very injury prone like most players. Yet his spirit made him survive and not retire. He always carried thr team on his back. In brazil world cup he carried his team to semis and it looked sure they'll win with a pretty inexperienced team. But his absence made the nation suffer a horrible loss in home ground. I remember being heartbroken watching each goal and the single Oscar goal was painful to see. Yet he was desperate and always mocked for acting on the pitch. But no one can't deny he's once in a generation talent. He's definitely had longer career too. But constant injuries, lack of respect, money, gambling, women all of it made him lose his spirit a bit by bit. Yet he wants to go for it. And he deserves a world tittle. If he was born in this generation where incredible talent is lacking he'd be a top player over haaland and mbappe easily.

    If he stayed at Barça, it would be a different story. I honestly believe that. He would've won more major trophies as he would be such an important figure in Barça, especially in post Messi era. It would be a mutually beneficial thing for him and Barcelona.
    That was the plan and he himself have said, he fked it up. Now it's too late and he has already left Europe after wasting the last few years in France.
    Either way, he was the only name that could be placed next to Messi-Ronaldo during their glorious era. That's something.
    Edit 1: Comparing yourself to The God of Football would be a mistake no matter who you are. No one will ever be as valuable, appreciated and loved as Messi, especially in Barça.
    However, I still believe if he stayed in Barça, he would have a much better career football wise. Both parties would be better if he didn't leave.
    Barça wouldn't be a sinking ship it is now if the 220 million from him leaving happened as the failures of replacing him wouldn't happen. It would still have financial problems because Bartomeu and his board of muppets would still fck things up colossally but at least the Neymar replacement part of the equation wouldn't exist. And by now, he would probably be the biggest star in Barça since Messi was sacrificed.
    It's all "if" and that's the best way to describe Neymar's career. Lots of if.

      It’s quite funny, cause leaving Barca was his biggest downfall, so it’s quite poetic that him leaving was also Barca’s biggest downfall. After his departure came the string of poor and unfulfilled transfers that lead the club to bankruptcy and humiliation. The biggest transfer in the world and it sent him and Barca down opposite sides of the same rough hill.

He has a great legacy but he was supposed to be THE best and he was never that.

    Injuries are not always due to bad luck, most of the time it's precipitated by poor preparation and training. Unfortunately Neymar's nature is too relaxed, lazy even. And laziness could be very crippling to some. Most of his injuries I think could've been prevented by more dedicated time in the gym. Another example is Hazard, retired at 32, multiple injuries but notoriously known for his laziness and minimal training between games. A player is not just prone to injures, you have to look sometimes for the reasons.

  • @nektarioss
    @nektarioss 8 місяців тому +1

    Very fun to watch player. He can beat his marker 1v1 any way he wants, and versus multiple opponents even... sometimes what he used to do on the pitch would exceed my imagination. His greatest game ever, for me, was the "Remontada" against PSG. Up to that point I did not think it possible to play for Barca, dictate the game in the attack and not being named Messi. Neymar did that impossible thing in the most impossible comeback. Free kick, assist, all in the dying minutes of the game. He took the reigns and won it.
    The aforementioned free kick and assist is just an indication of these aspects of his game. He does have the free kick, the playmaking, and the scoring in his repertoire but he is mostly known for his dribbling. It's natural, because dribbling is what separates Neymar from the rest. It feels like this type of dribbling is a dying art. Especially in the English game, which sadly eclipses the other leagues in terms of viewership and popularity. Even if nowadays there is a Kvaratskhelia, a Vinicius, a Leao... they still don't have the skills that Neymar had. And also I believe they don't match Neymar's dribbling volume. I am not sure how the statistic can back it or not, but that's what I assume. Messi never was very fancy with his tricks and dribbles, because he did things that looked simple but work for him everytime. He never really had to do something different until recently. Messi is (or rather "was" 😢) a freak because he can/could dribble with great precision at very high speed. Also because of the volume of his goals, assists, free kick goals, consistency, longevity, decision making... Ok, you get the point. Neymar lacked the consistency and longevity, and although on the pitch his decision making wasn't bad, his career decisions were terrible for his "legacy". The talent remains intact by his career decisions and injuries. His legacy is tainted though.
    His theatrics at the 2018 WC also hurt his image a lot. If only people would judge on talent alone, Neymar would still be one the most beloved and appreciated princes of football. However, at the end of his career, I think he will get the recognition that he deserves as one of football's greats.

    He had renewed his Barca contract when that runt PSG owner paid the ungodly buyout clause. It did so much damage to pro football. So glad P$G hasn't been able to buy a UCL.
    Also never bought the "dive and roll" meme. Amazing he averaged around 1 contribution per game with all those people hacking his legs. Most fouled player for a reason. Refs didn't do much for him. They literally cracked his back in the World Cup.
