The last
June third, Neymar was introduced in Camp Nou as new player of Barcelona F.C.
56.000 supporters welcomed him at the stadium. Rosel had gone shopping and had
picked what some people call “the next Messi”.
The operation cost added up to
57 millions euros. His salary 7 million euros per season. Regarding his
merchandising earnings, Barcelona will get very little. Most revenues will be
for Neymar.
According
to Pelé, Neymar is best than Messi. What a sacrilege!!! Brazilian people have
sold this product as a big treasure. The media has magnified his game. Of
course he has scored some nice goals, but he did in the Brazilian championship.
With all respect, it is neither Premier League, nor Liga Española nor Calcio.
He has not succeeded in the national team yet. In other words, he has done nothing
yet. Barcelona has paid 57 millions for a unknown player. We do not know yet
whether he is a star or not. Therefore, we cannot compare him with Messi yet.
First, Neymar should gain his own respect on the pitch. Audience is very
demanding in Camp Nou. They will be patient during the first season. After it,
they will demand him the best performance in every match. If you do not believe
this, ask Alexis about it.
I do not
want to be any spoiltsport. I want to be straightforward. Therefore I have to
say Neymar will be a failure. He is not as good player as people think. Maybe,
he is not even a player for a big team like Barcelona or Real Madrid. I am
sorry to say that Neymar will fail in Barcelona. The most worrying thing is
environment. Neymar is a controversial player with a lot
of personality. There will be arguments, especially between Neymar and
Messi. The reason is clear, both are two cocks in the same farmyard. In the
end, one of them will have to definitely leave the team. Who will be?
