Neymar better than Messi, Ronaldo: Roberto Carlos
Gothenburg (Sweden): Brazil football legend Roberto Carlos said he prefers Neymar over Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi and Ronaldo are widely regarded as the two best players around in the game and have won seven Ballon d’Ors between them over the past seven years.
Nevertheless, Carlos, who has taken charge as player-cum-manager of Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos FC, believes his compatriot should not be underestimated and is on his way to surpass the duo.
“People are always talking about whether Messi or Ronaldo is the best, but for me it’s Neymar,” Roberto Carlos was quoted as saying by as.com on Thursday.
“Barcelona’s Neymar does a lot more than Brazil’s Neymar, because the team is better established. Brazil is building a team for next year’s Copa America,” he said.
Neymar has netted once in three appearances in all competitions for Barcelona so far in 2015-16 and the 42-year-old is certain he produces his optimum performances at club level.
“The Neymar we see at Barcelona is his best version. It is too much responsibility for him to be Brazil’s leader already,” the former full-back who was known for his trademark free-kicks said.
“He has Messi and Luis Suarez alongside him at Barcelona, which makes him feel more comfortable,” Carlos said.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
